  • Rules and Options
    Rules and Options The author has attempted to draw as much as possible from the guidelines provided in the 5th edition Players Handbooks and Dungeon Master's Guide. Statistics for weapons listed in the Dungeon Master's Guide were used to develop the damage scales used in this book. Interestingly, these scales correspond fairly well with the values listed in the d20 Modern books. Game masters should feel free to modify any of the statistics or optional rules in this book as necessary. It is important to remember that Dungeons and Dragons abstracts combat to a degree, and does so more than many other game systems, in the name of playability. For this reason, the subtle differences that exist between many firearms will often drop below what might be called a "horizon of granularity." In D&D, for example, two pistols that real world shooters could spend hours discussing, debating how a few extra ounces of weight or different barrel lengths might affect accuracy, or how different kinds of ammunition (soft-nosed, armor-piercing, etc.) might affect damage, may be, in game terms, almost identical. This is neither good nor bad; it is just the way Dungeons and Dragons handles such things. Who can use firearms? Firearms are assumed to be martial ranged weapons. Characters from worlds where firearms are common and who can use martial ranged weapons will be proficient in them. Anyone else will have to train to gain proficiency— the specifics are left to individual game masters. Optionally, the game master may also allow characters with individual weapon proficiencies to trade one proficiency for an equivalent one at the time of character creation (e.g., monks can trade shortswords for one specific martial melee weapon like a war scythe, rogues can trade hand crossbows for one kind of firearm like a Glock 17 pistol, etc.).

  • Variation and Scope Martial Arts May Be Categorized Along a Variety of Criteria, Including
    Variation and scope Martial arts may be categorized along a variety of criteria, including: •• Traditional or historical arts and contemporary styles of folk wrestling vs. modern hybrid martial arts. •• Regional origin, especially Eastern Martial Arts vs. Western Martial Arts •• TTechniques taught: Armed vs. unarmed,, and within these groups by type of weapon ((swordsmanship,, stick fighting etc.) and by type of combat (grappling vs. striking;; stand-up fighting vs. ground fighting)) •• By application or intent: self-defense,, combat sport,, choreography or demonstration of forms, physical fitness,, meditation, etc. •• Within Chinese tradition:: "external" vs. "internal" styles By technical focus Unarmed Unarmed martial arts can be broadly grouped into focusing on strikes, those focusing on grappling and those that cover both fields, often described as hybrid martial arts.. Strikes •• Punching:: Boxing (Western),, Wing Chun •• Kicking:: Capoeira,, Kickboxing,, Taekwondo,, Savate •• Others using strikes: Karate,, Muay Thai,, Sanshou Grappling •• Throwing:: Jujutsu,, Aikido,, Hapkido,, Judo,, Sambo •• Joint lock //Chokeholds//Submission holds:: Judo,, Jujutsu,, Aikido,, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu,, Hapkido •• Pinning Techniques:: Jujutsu,, Judo,, Wrestling,, Sambo Another key delineation of unarmed martial arts is the use of power and strength-based techniques (as found in boxing, kickboxing, karate, taekwondo and so on) vs. techniques that almost exclusively use the opponent's own energy/balance against them (as in T'ai chi ch'uan, aikido, hapkido and aiki jiu jitsu and similar). Another way to view this division is to consider the differences between arts where Power and Speed are the main keys to success vs. arts that rely to a much greater extent on correct body- mechanics and the balance of the practitioners energy with that of the opponent.

During 2009, this webpage will be researched and expanded so as to exclusively focus on my practice and knowledge of the Way of the Short Staff. By "short staff" I mean a straight wooden staff or cane from 30" to 50" long. I welcome suggestions, comments and information from readers about good resources, links, books, pamphlets, videos, DVDs, VCDs, schools, workshops, events, techniques, forms, etc.. Please send your email to Mike Garofalo. In 2009, I will be learning by studying, practicing, and documenting three different styles of the cane.

  • Boxing for Bartitsu Moving Beyond the Straight Line Half Arm Hits! Side Steps! Angles! Uppercuts!
    1/8 Boxing for Bartitsu Moving Beyond the Straight Line Half Arm Hits! Side Steps! Angles! Uppercuts! “Under Bartitsu is included boxing, or the use of the ​ fist as a hitting medium, the use of the feet both in ​ an offensive and defensive sense, the use of the walking stick as a means of self­defence. Judo and jujitsu, which are secret styles of Japanese wrestling, (I) would call close play as applied to self­defence. In order to ensure, as far as it is possible, immunity against injury in cowardly attacks or quarrels, (one) ​ must understand boxing in order to thoroughly appreciate the danger and rapidity of a well­directed blow, and the particular parts of the ​ body which are scientifically attacked. The same, of course, applies to the use of the foot or the stick. Judo and jujitsu were not designed as primary means of attack and defence against a boxer or a man who kicks you, but are only to be used after coming to close quarters, and in order to get to close quarters it is absolutely necessary to understand boxing and the use of the foot.”1 ​ Produced by Peter Smallridge for Basingstoke Bartitsu Irregulars https://www.facebook.com/bartitsuirregulars 1E.W. Barton­Wright (1902). "Ju­jitsu and judo".Transactions of the Japan Society 5: 261. ​ ​ ​ 2/8 Introduction: Sources and Self­Justification Boxing, or pugilism as it is often called to distinguish it from the modern sport, was one of the martial arts practiced and blended at the Bartitsu Club. Compared to the cane and jujitsu elements, however, we have little direct sources on what was taught at the Club.
