As an American, I can say, most British people I know can fight pretty well...Everyone, just protect yourself and those you love. If you can't fight, learn how to. Be well, and Merry Christmas to all that see this.
Impressive video, Up4Education. Eager to see your next upload from you. I tapped the thumbs up icon on your content. Keep up the fantastic work! The historical context you provided about Bartitsu's adaptability is fascinating. How do you think modern self-defense systems can learn from the principles of Bartitsu in today's urban environments?
Thank you, I appreciate it. I think one of the obvious areas, although some do try and do it already, is the sheer adaptability. Bartitsu was never a stationary system, Barton-Wright often sent out instructors to take on other styles and if he felt something was missing it was then later added and expanded out as well as adapted specifically for the person, as he did when allowing women to enter the academy (almost unheard of at the time), which I actually have a video coming out on next Tuesday. It's flexibility rather than sticking to rigid form and history certainly would help. Additionally the incorporation of an everyday likely travelled with item as done with the cane, although no longer used such adaptation to an object now held often and looking for that practicality would be very helpful. Also as I said the want to interact more with other martial arts, of course we see it in MMA but we rarely general 'free play' in gyms and dojos and this would certainly help many people's defence etc. If you are looking for someone who can really get into the weeds on it, I would recommend Tommy Moore, he has a channel called Bartitsu Lab and is someone who isn't stuck in the past with the system and embodies much of Barton-Wright's principles on Bartitsu.
Pants should be tailored to fit the waist and not the hips....even if it makes you look like you're wearing them at armpit height! The only trousers in history that were fit at the hips were late medieval hosiers, which were tied by strings at the waist...
Seeing fight scenes with Robert Downey Jr. fits in the narrative of the video, but this could be misleading: He practices very hard Wing Chun. For the rest, good video.
This is very true. The seens were more to cover the fact Sherlock Holmes was a practitioner according to the books. There was also a Bartitsu instructor and historian involved with the choreography is small part.
I see this kind of fighting every Friday and Saturday night in my town square, except the participants are usually using a kebab or bag of chips as their weapon of choice.
No ground fighting. The secret to street figting is to stay on you feet. Whether you win or lose doesn't matter that much. Inflict damage on the other guy, thay won't come back for more.
I am not convinced by the alleged practitioners in this video. According to all the traditional materials I have seen, a moustache was an essential requirement for gentlemen practitioners. For ladies it seems to have been optional.
Glad you enjoyed it. If not updated as the same with any martial art, then it sits of its time bit there are many, Tommy Moore for instance who have update and evolved the style much in the philosophy of Barton-Wright himself.
The coining of the term 'bullshido' was a real godsend for the never-have-beens and never-will-bes. It helped to create an entire generation of oxygen-wasters who sit in their parents’ basement (even into their 30s or 40s), eat cheetos, drink kool-aid, & make fun of men who’ve done things they can only fantasize about.
@@TruthTellert63 If your comment is directed at me specifically here.. you barked up the wrong tree. I am a retired strength athlete that now recreationally practices Muay Thai. I have "stepped in the arena" many times. As for the term "bulshido" I think it is a very apt description of the mystical snake oil of suspect "traditional martial arts". Don't get me wrong, group fitness with a focus on traditions is great for some people. But you aren't learning to fight, or any real self defense if you are in an environment without sparring, live drills, pressure testing, or some form of actual combat against a person trying to impose their will on you. quite simply if your techniques arent pressure tested and you make claims of efficacy.... you are practicing bulshido.

I necessary but unfortunate skill.
Surprised the Kingsman films never mentioned this as their agents' fighting style. Would fit them perfectly.
The style was also somewhat used in the choreography.

There was a french movie The Misteries of Paris with some good scenes of cane fighting and hand to hand from the end of 19 century
The French style is certainly what influenced Barton-Wright.
I love when he hands the pistol back.
Comedic chops.
Good display by my friend Alex Kiermayer, he could be credited in the description.
All videos are directly credited in the description. Videos used are always credited as the footage in the description.
I can understand loosing the suspenders to free up the shoulders. But what is holding up their pants?
True haha
Properly tailored trousers should hold up. Look at some people nowadays, they wear pants with belt loops but no belts.

Well Wing-chung resembles so much early pugilism-chancery, that it was often referred to as Chinese boxing.
Best Bruce Lee to the punch by 60 or so years I think
Indeed.
...Of course, RDJ is proficient in Wing Tsun.
Indeed
Finally .....something for bart simpson
How could Bart not learn Bartitsu, partnership made in heaven.

Sounds like a weapon of opportunity to me...perfect! haha!
John steed was a master
Very true, actually his character definitely knew it.

Brutality was certainly the approach back then as well.
MMA before it became a thing :)
Basically yes.
Don’t forget about Pankration
Actually Barton-Wright first coined the term "Mixed Martial Arts" in an article he wrote to promote Bartitsu.
I am not convinced by the alleged practitioners in this video. According to all the traditional materials I have seen, a moustache was an essential requirement for gentlemen practitioners. For ladies it seems to have been optional.
Very true, moustaches were always essential.
fun video. and interesting fighting style. Just this side of bulshido by todays standards but the style element is fun.

Так вот о каком баритсу говорил Шерлок Холмс в шоу долгоносиков....😂
Obviously more 'neo-bartitsu' is suited specifically for a more modern era but yes.
Смешно смотреть. Так не дерутся уже больше 150 лет.
