Hitting people with a cane? Any drunken grown man will simply shake that off as if it were an elderly person coughing on them, let alone any person that's actually been trained. Perhaps a baseball bat is more appropriate :D I only recently discovered this martial art, I was surprised there was even a British martial art and I'm quite ashamed that it's British as well.
As soon as cheesy sound effects were introduced paused left comment how gay this is and left, theres a reason bartisu is nearly dead....were not living in the victorian era anymore -_-
I love it. I have a lot of respect for Bartitsu. Most people may think it is useless and only for fops, but unlike most martial arts this is for use in real life situations, not for winning cups at a tournament. Most of the time it is more important that you do something, rather than what you do. One on one these techniques will work fine.
yeah this was a "gentlemanly" self defense so that the guy wouldn't get his gloves dirty. C'mon people can't you have some common sense? Lol, but seriously, this is shit
I think the main point of this video was for the man to practice various techniques, not being a real sparring situation. Someone probably saw it and was like CAN WE FILM THIS!?! And he analyzed it for us. If you take the individual techniques, they might work. Just sayin
To all the haters: I, too, disassembled the video in about ten seconds, when most of the attackers spent their time derping around in the background. My question to you is what martial art do you practice that qualifies you to make this judgment?
All very helpful when your opponent with the knife waits patiently for you to get around to him before attacking you and then drops his knife before you even make contact with his hand. This wouldn't count for beans in an actual fight.
Having a stick will gain you great distance in a fight like this and as barton wright says in his articles, a simple malica cane will sever a mans jugular vein under his overcoat if in the hands of a trained individual. It sure wouldn't look this pretty but I am sure a trained man would survive the attack.
@it13455 Right? Not to mention, most trained people tend to be afraid of being hit. And anyone swinging a hard piece of wood towards your head is a scary thing, let alone someone who spends their time rehearsing their ability to hit you in the head with said stick.
@GSeward Obviously this man would be beaten down in a real fight, no matter what your training in being attacked by that many people will result in being rushed, overwhelmed, and beaten senseless. Just take it for what it is, a demonstration. Its a fancy show of stage combat and nothing else.
Not to try to sound like Mr. Macho man but I've successfully fended off 7 guys in real life.
They were drunk and i was bigger then them which is probably why i was able to pull it off, but the trick of it is to intimidate them and make them feel as though if they were the first one to step up they would die (This was hard to pull of as i was wearing a bath robe at the time)
Feral rage will win every time because scares the hell out of people
@s0u113ss First off if what you say is true, that pretty damn impressive, second you are right recently Ive heard of a chap who held off against 5 guys. I guess anything is possible if youre violent enough
@GSeward Can happen sure, but i have seen one whole rugby team on the drink, not dare attack 1 big bouncer they were cussing out, when he walked into the middle of them and said " ok any of you take your best shot" not one got close to him, too scared of being hit first.
Bartitsu: The original eclectic martial art, like Jeet Kune Do, but from the Edwardian period. Any notions "fair play" or "sportsmanship" seem absent from Bartitsu.:-). Itstead it seems predicated on what works when the odds are stacked against you and you are in danger.A self defence system from the era of London ruffians and Paris garotters! Here is a fine exposition of what to do when attacked mob-handed.
love the effects lol - nice tech ;)
