EDITORS COMMENTS
In the bustling streets of late 19th century London, self-defense was a crucial skill for any individual to possess. Among the various martial arts and defensive systems that emerged during this era, Bartitsu, developed by British entrepreneur Edward William Barton-Wright, stood out for its innovative approach to urban combat. These two photographs, taken from Barton-Wright's article "Self-Defence with a Walking-Stick," published in Pearson's Magazine in 1901, illustrate the effective use of a walking-stick as a weapon in a crowded environment. Barton-Wright, a pioneer in the field of physical culture and a prolific writer on various aspects of health and fitness, had a deep understanding of the importance of being prepared for potential threats in the city. The first image shows Barton-Wright skillfully maneuvering his walking-stick to deflect an attacker's blow, maintaining a strong posture and keeping his adversary at bay. The second photograph demonstrates the use of the stick as a counter-weapon, with Barton-Wright delivering a powerful strike to an assailant who has closed in from the side. Barton-Wright's Bartitsu system, which combined elements of various martial arts, including jujitsu, savate, and cane-fighting, was designed to be effective in real-world situations. The walking-stick, a common accessory for well-dressed gentlemen of the time, served as an elegant and versatile weapon in the hands of a trained Bartitsu practitioner. These photographs offer a fascinating glimpse into the historical context of self-defense and the innovative approaches that emerged during the late Victorian era. Barton-Wright's Bartitsu system, with its focus on practicality and adaptability, continues to inspire martial artists and self-defense enthusiasts today.
