Author Will Thomas was the founder of the Bartitsu Forum email list (where all the cool kids hang out) and was among the interview subjects in the recent documentary Bartitsu: the Lost Martial Art of Sherlock Holmes. Cyrus Barker, one of the protagonists of Will’s “Barker and Llewellyn” series of Victorian mystery novels was partially based on Bartitsu founder Edward Barton-Wright.
