Hi Guys
was in the Portobello antique markets a couple of weeks ago and noticed a few engravings with a martial subject. Here are two I could afford, both hand coloured woodcuts.
"Sports of the London Athletic Club: Cutlass Exercise"
"Assault of Arms by the Hon. Artillery Athletic Club: Quarterstaff"
There were a few earlier pieces available, particularly pages from Angelos "School of Fencing" but at 250GBP a time  they were too expensive for me 
Enjoy

Hi Conal
there were also a number of great looking bare knuckle boxing prints, I intend to go back and have a better look.
