    The winners of the international Bartitsu Sparring Video Compeition have now been announced:

    Second place ($US500 prize) - Santiago Stickfighting Club (Santiago, Chile) for a series of 4 videos.

    First place (US$1000 prize) - Waterloo Sparring Group (London, England) for a compilation video.

    The competition was open to martial artists and combat sport athletes of all styles, with the object of testing a set of sparring guidelines based on the original mix of styles practiced at the Bartitsu Club in London circa 1901.

    The stickfighting style uses a 36" long rattan cane with a weighted head (originally a steel ball, simulated by a solid rubber ball for relatively safe sparring), with the rules also allowing unarmed striking and takedowns/grappling.
