Self defence for discerning ladies and gentlemen

- Our first running of a Victorian self defence class. From tea and crumpets on arrival to a day of training in personal defence skills that would have been taught at places like the Bartitsu Club, an brief look at contempory styles of stick usage, all finished off with a 3 course meal in a Victorian dining room. Top day all round for the Chaps and Chapesses.
Absolutely wonderful video. At first I thought it were a authentic piece of film. I laught and just stared in awe at the cool things you were doing. Got get myself a hat.
This was amazing. I love the Victorian era. Now I need to find myself a good cane...
I swear CZcams is the time machine of today alright!
@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
Very nice!!!!!
Hat AND Cane?
It's settled. I want to study this now.
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
Good stuff Jim, hope your guys enjoyed the day.
Fantastic!

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.
nice work.
bartitsu was ahead of its time
@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.
the strikes are very nice indeed, with good rotation, just could some more body. the irish stick fighting is still a mistery to me...
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 !!
this is great stuff!

@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
Very nice video. I hope more bartitsu videos will be uploaded soon.
Nice Show
Bravo!
@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.
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
@superkoopa001 They do, but its not that common go to bartitsu.org they have a list showin all the places that teach it
Awesome really :-)
@terenas5 Ahahahaha! You hit the nail on the head.
So this is what the kingsmen used to fight
looks a intresting martail art, do they still teach this
💪👍🙏 ...
Not sure they trained in suits at the Bartitsu club!

Interesting, the hat is used almost like a buckler, to distract and put your opponent off balance.
aah. Everything is up side down!
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.
what kind of endurace training did boxers do back then?
what is the song's name?
baritsu was merely a spelling mistake he meant bartitsu..
cocaine is a helluva drug
Indeed they do, but it's not exactly as common as, say, karate.
dont think anyone has ponytails cept the ladies
I'm afraid the French was faster... and it's called La Canne ;]
