How to Pose as a Strong Man: Trick No. 1 - Mastering the Two-Finger Chair Hold from Bartitsu, an Unconventional Martial Art. This image is taken from an article titled 'How to Pose as a Strong Man' published in Pearson's Magazine in March 1899. The article, penned by Edward William Barton-Wright, introduced readers to the intriguing world of Bartitsu, a hybrid martial art that Barton-Wright had developed after extensive studies in Japan. In this particular trick, Barton-Wright demonstrates the power and leverage obtained from the seemingly simple two-finger chair hold. By positioning oneself in this manner, the opponent is continually thrown off balance, making it an effective technique in self-defense or competitive strongman posing. Barton-Wright's innovative approach to martial arts combined elements of jujitsu, boxing, and savate, creating a unique and versatile fighting system that gained significant popularity during the late 19th century. Barton-Wright's Bartitsu method challenged traditional martial arts practices and captured the imagination of the public, as seen in this illustration from Pearson's Magazine. The image showcases the determination and confidence required to master this unconventional technique, as well as the deceptive strength hidden within the seemingly effortless two-finger grip. This historical photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and vision of Edward William Barton-Wright and his groundbreaking contributions to the world of martial arts. It serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of the strongman pose and the power of knowledge and skill in overcoming adversity.
