Revival
Many individuals and groups in various parts of the world, as well as institutions such as the Higgins Armory Museum, are engaged in attempting to reconstruct Historical European Martial Arts using various training methods. Nineteenth and early twentieth century teachers whose martial arts are presently being reconstructed include Edward William Barton-Wright, the founder of Bartitsu; combat savate and stick fighting master Pierre Vigny; London-based boxer and fencer Rowland George Allanson-Winn; French journalist and self defence enthusiast Jean Joseph-Renaud; and British quarterstaff expert Thomas McCarthy.

Famous quotes containing the word revival:
“Mother goddesses are just as silly a notion as father gods. If a revival of the myths of these cults gives woman emotional satisfaction, it does so at the price of obscuring the real conditions of life. This is why they were invented in the first place.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“I do not think a revival of business will be greatly postponed by [Samuel J.] Tilden’s election. Business prosperity does not, in my judgment, depend on government so much as men commonly think.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
