Ernest Maurice Tassart (1869-1930) was a French competitor in fencing competitions at the 1900 Summer Olympics. He owned Tassart's Salle D'Armes at Margaret Street, Oxford Circus, London during the 1910's and regularly held the annual Varsity (Oxford vs. Cambridge university) Fencing matches.

Alfred Parkins was orphaned in 1920 and was taken on by Tassart as an apprentice and sent to international competitions in Europe. By the time of Tassart's death, Alfred Parkins had qualified as Maitre d'Armes and taught fencing using the name Tassart-Parkins fencing school at 11 George Street, Portman Square, London.

Video of Tassart is viewable from the British Pathe news website, under the film name of David and Goliath.
