Bartitsu instructors James Marwood and George Stokoe demonstrate Edwardian-era "antagonistics" in dramatic slow motion for this new promo. for the documentary. As before, because of BBC licence restrictions the clip is only intended to be playable by people within the UK.

Anyway, I look forward to it. :-)

Sorry, I missed this post earlier. If you mean the picture at about 2.50, that's Tani, aged about 40.

Finally got around to watching this last night. Very interesting, although I notice they didn't actually mention Tani or Uyeneshi by name at any point.
