Bartitsucon 2018

Tommy Moore

Explore Bartitsu at our 'Barton-Wright' Bartitsu bash. November 10 / 11 at Redditch Boxing Academy (near Birmingham).  It's a two day event, involving seminars and interclub sparring across pugilism, savate, ju jitsu and stick fighting (and combinations thereof). Most seminars are on the Saturday, with more sparring based content and competitions on the Sunday. However, even if what you want to cover is outside the main itinerary, the coaches on site will be more than happy to help, advise and support you.  The full line up is detailed on the page, tickets costing just £25 for two day's top tuition, training, sparring and advice. Pay to Ginger_Legion@hotmail.com to secure your place.  We can't wait to see you there. Tweed optional ;).
