This Week in Bartitsu:

Ongoing Bartitsu class runs 8pm-10pm every Wednesday and 3pm-5pm every Saturday. There is a rank examination at the end of this month, so long-time students may be expecting a review month. However, we haven’t completed a full 3-month cycle since the last rank exam, so we are continuing the standard cycle.

  • 9pm Lesson/Integration: Collar and elbow, entering
  • 9pm Red Sash Lesson: Hip throw

Friday, 9 June:
7pm-10pm Open Floor with Bartitsu focus. Free for members, come for extra time sparring in any of our formats: jujitsu, unarmed striking, stick; or review your drills and exercises for better mastery.
