Disappointment Abounds! Workshops Are Full Next Weekend!

"If we are quiet and ready enough, we shall find compensation in every disappointment." - Henry David Thoreau

Unfortunately both of our workshops next weekend are already at capacity!:

Intro to Bartitsu

Saturday, January 28, 2012 1pm-5pm

Learn the mixed martial art of the Victorian English Gentleman. In this four-hour workshop, you'll acquire the essential Bartitsu skills of Boxing, Jujitsu, Savate and Cane fighting:

- the basic punches of scientific boxing and the first defensive moves of pugilism

- the first throw from jujitsu and how to land without hurting yourself when thrown

- the foundations of walking stick self-defence, and the essential kicks of savate

This Introduction to Bartitsu is a pre-requisite for the ongoing Bartitsu class. We want all newcomers to the weekly class to have some familiarity with the core techniques, and to get some practice in an easy environment where all of the students are learning the skills together.

So, whether you're interested in studying Bartitsu on an ongoing basis, or if you just want to learn the essential elements, the Introduction to Bartitsu covers the fundamentals. Fun and self-defense without getting your spats dirty!
