  • Bartitsu was a martial art designed for selfdefense by Barton Wright in victorian London. The Bartitsu Academy of martial arts and physical culture includes different fighting arts as pugilism or bare knuckle boxing, Savate, Jiu Jitsu and Pierre Vignys new method of la canne - fighting with the walking cane for Gentlemen.
    Bartitsu got also popular as Arthur Conan Doyle let his figure Sherlock Holmes use Baritsu at the Reichenbach falls against his opponent Professor Moriarty. This makes Bartitsu so famous under Victorian or Edwardian era larper and in the Steampunkt community.
    Bartitsu was not the only martial art uses the cane as a weapon, check out our other videos on that topic for example the method of Col. Monstery taught in New York city, be a cane master and join us!

    Hooking an opponent's neck or limb in a real fight seems unlikely, but I appreciate your research. Also crook canes so practical for everyday carry, to secure on arm or belt -- there instantly when needed for balance or defense and less threatening-looking than others. I'm studying Doyle-style Irish stick (bataireicht) myself.

    • @OliverJanseps
      @OliverJanseps  Před 4 měsíci +3

      Your first point is what I tried to say at the end of the video, so we agree in that point. But infact these hooking is a way less fashy then some knots you will get taught today 🙃
      I once take part in a seminar for the Dolyle style, very nice practical method 👌

      I use a cane because of a parachute accident in the Army. I use a solid hickory crook cane, my friend hand-made for me. We have trained traditional martial arts together for several decades. While the crook is not the primary use of the weapon, it's there for targets of opportunities. Also, by gripping the inside of the crook, one can swing the cane in the manner of a tonfa. That tip is humming! Lots of velocity. Also...Its solid hickory. Great for breaking those pesky bones in bad guys. 😊

    Fantastic, you take a couple of old pictures and made them come alive 😀 👍. Like the hat 🎩 . You are right, today canes with no crook are very rare. Unfortunately there is little materiel from Vigny. If i might repeat myself the book by Lang ("an Indian officer") is the only complete method of stick fighting that remains from that time, 1926?, and it's only for strikes at a distance. So what about more from the pictures of bartitsu, or Lang? Cheers

    • @OliverJanseps
      @OliverJanseps  Před 3 měsíci +1

      If one feels unsafe, first thing should always be doing some (good) martial arts and real self-defense courses. Just carrying a tool one cant use is no benefit.
      But back to your "problem".
      A umbrella looked also weird in best hot summer 😉
      If you are trained you look different, your body speaks different, and so it's with carrying a cane. You have to dont care what other might be thinking.
      I was one on vacation in NY City and bought an old shillelagh at the fleah market in hells Kirchen early in the morning. I had to carry it the whole day. Okay it was NY but I did not feel weird no one was really looking as I thought 😅

      If I would carry a cane, I would prefer a crook or Derby just because one can hang it over things if not needed, over your own arm etc. So it's no big Handicap in real life.
