If you want to learn Bartitsu - This is the right video to start.
I you want to defend yourself you need proper strikes with your cane. This video is all about striking fundamentals for Pierre Vignys "la canne" system.
The basic strikes were taught in an exercise called moulinet.
He created it differently to other French stick fighting systems of that time. Later he became head instructor of the Bartitsu academy of martial arts and physical culture in London.
Bartitsu was a martial art designed for self-defence by Edward Barton Wright in Victorian London.His school taught different martial arts as pugilism or bare knuckle boxing, French boxing known as Savate, Jiu-Jitsu and fighting with the walking cane for Gentlemen.
I use an old slim stick imho one of the best modern sticks you can get for Bartitsu these days.

We will have a look at that topic from a HEMA point of view. Our historical fencing background gives us insides others may not have.
Using the cane or umbrella to protect us in self defense is still a topic today. But this will be just the view cane masters of the past have on that topic.
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!
