Bartitsu - Historical self-defense with the walking stick by Pierre Vigny

Edward Barton-Wright was one of the first Europeans to study Ju-Jitsu in Japan. Back in London, he founded a club where he taught the upscale society in self-defense. He combined the most effective martial arts of his time: Canne Vigny, Boxing, Savate and Ju-Jitsu. Barton-Wright became such an early pioneer of mixed martial arts (MMA). His self-defense art was what he called Bartitsu.

Stick fighting teacher at the Bartitsu Club was Pierre Vigny, who optimized the techniques of classic French stick fighting for self-defense.
