Fascinating subject I’ve always made my own sticks

Clownisch.

Excellent presentation, thank you. Got me interested in getting a stick!

Interesting this is the first time I've seen bartitsu. I've done a little Arnis. The cane movements are very different then Escrima sticks. I will look forward to seeing more of your art.

Nice work, mate! Cheers from the US!

Kali practitioners shaking their heads ha

Glad to see you doing Mondtery.

Interresting. I have done fencing with rapier and florette in my youth. Perhaps that experience wuold help also with a cane?

Very similar, if not the same as what i've been taught in sidesword.

Looks very useless - you do not even use your body to create a greater force on the impact….You will only be able hit someone once before they will close the distance and then you will be f-cked…My advice is to educate yourself on the “Dunning-Kruger effect “ and not to embarrass yourself with such videos …🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Thanks for this lovely vid.

The hat and cane make you look like a country gentleman, perhaps a doctor from a period drama.

If you carry a stick in the UK, you will get arrested.

Oliver, thank you for a fascinating video. I used to practice Karate many years ago. I am 61 now and have to walk with a stick. However, is it possible to practice this with a wooden stick? Mine is normal really with a "T" shaped handle.

lets play with sticks shit lets blay

the spot as you call it is everthing suck you know what is what

I've always wondered what I'd do if attacked by a barbershop quartet. Now I know.

in these days of knife attacks.........

No way I would use the hook to attach to the opponent. Great way to lose the cane. Thinking the criminal is slower or weaker than you are, OR that you can have great timing is too risky.

ohne 3 min gelaber ist es ein gutes video

For once YT has suggested something I might be interested in -,thanks for the upload & subbed

I suscribe 😊🇲🇽

Your presentation is very interesting and entertaining. It was good form to keep your other arm pinned to your back or front to make sure that you don't hit yourself with the cane. That is especially important when you're using a sword.

The masses yearn for a full video on Pascha's Jägerstock.

Epic. Pascha is an absolute chad.

En garde! I like this stick fighting. Never heard of Bartitsu before. Thank you Monsieur. Greetings from Manchester 🇬🇧

Real fights happen at boxing range, not fencing range. As in boxing, power comes ground up, feet to hips to hands, engaging core. Think Tyson. The cane is a force multiplier via three weapons - two ends and middle. When you swing it or twirl it as done here you lose access to at least two of those weapons, and in reality likely all three. Best strategy is always to throw down your wallet and run for your life, but second best is to grip a cane with two hands and apply its weapons to the attacker's body, never their head. Both because heads are smaller targets, and because a head-shot with a cane will cause the attacker injuries that will cause you to spend a fortune on a lawyer. Literally thousands of times more money than you have in your wallet.

LOL. Nice song choice

What is the word he uses? Mullinaise (spelled as I heard it)?😊

Sherlock Holmes was an expert practitioner

Again one of my favourite self defense topics!!! ❤I was told one can buy umbrellas specifically constructed for self defense like the stuff you are showing in the video (reinforced and thicker than normal ones). Do you happen to have seen one or maybe do you know what company makes them? Or maybe it was just a myth...

I practice the Monstery Wrist mobility drill you showed on this channel every day. Love this kind of information! Bravo!

5:13 - "... solar plexus, the face. Don't get to the throat because this is really really really dangerous." I'd be very wary of hitting the face as well. Years ago in Milano, we had the case of a gypsy woman accidentally killing another woman by poking her in the face with an umbrella (the tip was broken). Got her in an eye and wounded her mortally.

Thank you for the thorough review. My SPES jacket is okay but I'd really like to grab one of these when i can justify dropping the cash on one, they look so nice and functional.

Umbrella Academy. Jokes aside great video and very interesting technique!

Love how you put flesh into even such a small amount of information, you might consider hitting the fist or the hands with the point of your umbrella. Cheers

Bonk

This is very useful. I appreciate your sharing with us. Thank you! Train for life. Keep practice. Laoshr #60 Ching Yi Kung Fu Association

Exceptionally good... ;)

Note to self: Make more use of the word “cudgel”

Gute Musikwahl :D

I was looking for a video showing those drills for a while now. Thanks. I'll save it as a referrence for my own practice with a war scythe

I like it 👍 Where is the balance point of the proper cane?

Excellent explanation and demonstration - very clear. Clearest I've ever seen!

It makes me think of Fan Techniques in Kung Fu using every day items for selfdefense.

Thank you, from France 😁💖
