ADAM PARSONS ARD & Bartitsu.

The United Kingdom Bartitsu Alliance ( UKBA) was set up by Adam Parsons in 2015. Bringing together martial artists from a variety of backgrounds, the UKBA seeks to continue and expand the recognition and legitimisation of the Victorian martial art of Bartitsu, in its historical context, as both a competition sport and combat art. Also to promote both groups and individuals who seek to advance their knowledge and level of participation; to help promote and inform to the general public of the history of Bartitsu, its part in the development of martial arts in the UK and its place as a bona fide style in the martial arts world, and to actively seek the instructors of each modernised form of Bartitsu who are willing to uphold the knowledge and traditions of the art. UKBA is not currently seeking to be an Association, a Federation or a Governing Body but it is in fact a friendly and welcoming networking organisation for practitioners. Please remember, the UKBA strongly encourages its Affiliates to retain and in fact expand their affiliations with a wide range of organisations in the martial arts and self-defence world upon registration. The UKBA is open to all regardless experience within the art. The UKBA does not promote the petty politics that many other groups seem to contain, there are no hidden agendas, and it will not interfere with its valued Affiliates' practices either, all affiliates are open to practice and instruct their classes as they wish, there is no need to sign up to a 'right way' of doing things, and so on.

AL CASE - Kwon Bup.

Al Case walked into his first martial arts school, Chinese Kenpo Karate, in 1967. He eventually became an instructor and wrote the training manual for the school. In 1969, Under Robert J. Babich, Al began studying Kang Duk Won, which included the art of Kwon Bup. Mr. Babich, before mastering the Kang Duk Won, had studied with Don Buck, and crossed-fists with Mas Oyama. Upon achieving his black belt in the Kang Duk Won, Al began studying such arts as Wing Chun, Shaolin Gung Fu, Tai Chi Chuan, and Pa Kua Chang. In 1981 he began writing articles for the martial arts magazines, and had his own column in Inside Karate . Eventually, Al began writing books, and then putting his arts to video. This lead to his discoveries of Matrixing Technology, which is the first actual study of the martial arts as a science. Matrixing led to forays into a more spiritual realm, and these studies are described in his books on Neutronics. Currently, Al is the webmaster of MonsterMartialArts.com . He has written over 2,000,000 words on the martial arts, which makes him arguably the most prolific martial arts writer of all time. His works include not just the martial arts, but philosophy, poetry, many novels, childrens books, mathematics, and even a book on Pig Latin .
