This Week in Bartitsu:

Ongoing Bartitsu class runs 8pm-10pm every Wednesday and 3pm-5pm every Saturday.

Saturday, 18 February:
Regular Saturday classes are cancelled due to the Vancouver International Swordplay Symposium (VISS) which is using the Academie Duello facilities all weekend. Saturday students are encouraged to attend Wednesday’s class to avoid missing any lessons this month. However, the lesson of 25 February will be the Savate lesson “missing” from this week, so Fundamentals students and those who can’t attend on Wednesdays will not have a gap in their training.

Wednesday, 22 February:

  • 8pm Essentials: Savate’s devastating kick
  • 9pm Green and Blue Sash Lesson/Integration: Stop-Kick
  • Red Sash: Spinning back kick

Saturday, 25 February:

  • 2pm Essentials: Savate’s devastating kick
  • 3pm Lesson:
    • Fundamentals (Green Sash) and Blue Sash: Stop-Kick
    • Red Sash: Spinning back kick
  • 4pm Jujitsu Integration:
