The Bartitsu cane style created by Pierre Vigny works from a much higher guard - a hanging guard. That makes it much harder for your stick to be taken and your hand to be hit. The traditional fencing guard you are demonstrating makes striking the hand very easy

A Campbell Cane could be an interesting senior defense device. I was asked last year about designing a cane that could be functional, artistic and defensive. The latest design fits this description. I was involved in martial arts in the 60's..now I am way over 60. I would not want to be on the other end.

@nakedmambo - historical evidence suggests that, yes, members of the original Bartitsu Club did wear typical c1900 "physical culture" exercise clothing, including gi jackets for the jujitsu training. I think that the wearing of suits in this clip is an homage to the photographs in Barton-Wright's articles, which show fighters wearing 3-piece suits and straw boater hats, representing fashionable street wear for gentlemen at that time.

@nakedmambo well 'cause it was designed with the idea of self defense from malicious people on the streets, maniacs and thieves, and naturally you would be wearing a suit around the streets (or at least you would when it was developed) so you would want to train in the same thing you would be wearing when you really need it, so you all ready know how to move in a more restrictive outfit, such as our suit

@katikar1 I'm thinking that like fencing and Savate - both gentlemanly pursuits - there would have been similar training garb; early sweat-clothes like old-fashioned underwear. Wasn't Bartitsu developed around Jiu-Jitsu and pre-Judo? Both train in non-everyday attire. I can't see why he would have them wrecking expensive bespoke suits rather than training clothes and at the least tattered old tweeds.

@nakedmambo not sure why they wouldn't, Bartitsu was developed for the discerning gentlemen, and as such was designed to incorporate the use of hats, canes and suit jackets

Interesting, the hat is used almost like a buckler, to distract and put your opponent off balance.

Indeed they do, but it's not exactly as common as, say, karate.

the new sherlock holmes film will feature baritsu - according to robert downey jr and guy richie who didn't even seem to bother to research it's origins - they say - it's a fictional martial art i guess using google is beyond some people.. there's an ep of sh with jeremy brett where he beats the **** out of a hoodlum - the solitary cyclist i think i'd love to see an action update on sh !!! bartitsu from what i've gleaned seems a really amazing martial art akin to jeet kune do in many ways !!

bartitsu is credited as the first eclectic martial art - 50 years or so before Bruce Lee came up with Jeet Kune Do. Pity it died out

Great music. It looked very cool but most of what was shown was fairly compliant 1-step work. I do hope your group does something messier & more alive when the cameras aren't rolling.
