    Greetings

    My name is David. I'm a recreational foil fencer, though I enjoy saber as well. I trained for several years at BCAF in the 1990s. I lean towards the "Classical" approach. I've also trained in Filipino stickfighting and Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

    The feeling is mutual, Chris.

    Haven't had a chance to check it out, but Tony gave everyone the heads up on its release on SFI--he knows what he's talking about, so I figure it's gotta be good.

    Certainly, it's on my "must obtain soon" list.

    The time when Bartitsu was founded was a fascinating time for martial arts and combat sports in general--bare-knuckle boxing transitioning into the glove form, savate, catch-as-catch-can wrestling competing with judo/jujutsu, etc.

    And, of course, fencing...
