[@Fred-px5xu]

A grand display of execution. The techniques displayed was flawless, the lecture concise, and explanation clear. It is the best video lecture on the cane and walking stick I have seen to date.Kudos and eagerly await your your next video lecture.

BARTITSU TIME! ❤Get your popcorn everyone! 🥳

[@OliverJanseps]

It's the hat right? Must be the hat. Meanwhile I got comfortable with it. A good one to wear on our way to training 😁

Fascinating

[@OliverJanseps]

Glad you liked it. This channel is all about spreading some mostly forgotten knowledge in martial art.

[@SuperSneakySteve]

I'm buying a straw hat and a cane right now!

[@OliverJanseps]

I know it's the hat, noone ever said that under a pure cane video ever 😁

I really enjoy your videos and your style of presentation! I only do staff and stick stuff 'on the side' but find your videos inspiring for this, and also for the Indian clubs. I've already taken on a few basic structure and strength exercises with the staff, which you demonstrated in earlier videos. Just one small language point, if I may be so free: when comparing things you tend to say "as" (influenced by German "als") when in English we'd say "like". For instance 6:15 "the second play starts as the first play". Actually in English we'd say "... starts like the first play". Greetings from Berlin

[@OliverJanseps]

Thank's for your kind words! I am also really happy to hear someone got something for himself out of the Club and wand stuff 😃 Best regards to Berlin!

[@dalehill6127]

I beg to differ. I'm a native English speaker. The usage of 'like' instead of 'as' in this context is a recent import from American. It's not proper English, sorry. Don't take my word for it, just read some good books. Conan Doyle or Dickens wrote proper English, in which the usage of 'like' in this context would have been considered to be vulgar and bordering on illiterate. Hope you don't mind the correction.

[@vovanussi]

Great video!! these actions are quite suitable for poorly trained people or if you need to quickly teach an inexperienced citizen self-defense. however, against an experienced person, such actions will lead to defeat.

[@OliverJanseps]

This would also be the context I guess. Those invitations are hard against a good fighter but against a ruffian on the street it could work well.

[@vovanussi]

@@OliverJanseps I completely agree.

[@afternoobtea914]

Would like to test it against my Stav technique.

[@OliverJanseps]

@@afternoobtea914 what system do you train? 🙂

[@bharnden7759]

In the US, your hat is also known as a "skimmer".

[@OliverJanseps]

Ah, nice 👌 I really dont know why its called 'Kreissäge' in Germany, thats liturally circular saw 😅😆

[@dalehill6127]

In Britain it's a "boater" as seen worn by gentlemen at Cambridge University when punting on the River Cam.😊

Sherlock Holmes had to learn Bartitsu to cope with Professor Moriarty

[@OliverJanseps]

It is also interesting that Arthur Conan Doyle choosed Bartitsu for Sherlock Holmes. He must have thought it would fit to the Charakter.

[@АндрейКостюковский]

@@OliverJanseps I think, Bartitsu was the most famous english self defence system at the time of Conan Doyle writes his stories about Sherlock Holmes. It was obviously considered more effective than the ordinary Boxing due to the jiu-jitsu based wrestling techniques. It makes thе story more adventurous and exciting.

[@OliverJanseps]

Definetely, I agree. This is a contemporary plus + from the past 👍

[@geoffquartermainebastin9302]

I guess this is for fun. Fair play. In reality, has anyone seen two fellows fighting with canes? Watch an advanced kendo player: very simple, not stylised but takes decades of practice. Again, I assume this us just fun, because in no way does it apply to welf-defense. Oh, and a hooked cane is far more effective if needed.

[@OliverJanseps]

First at all, you are right it's for information purpose. These are real self-defense advises from 1902. Infact there will be also people telling you it's not more difficult then Kendo, but you on the other hand advise a hooked cane, which would make the handling even more complex 🤔 Sorry if I take the answer a bit to serious 😅
