Bartitsu
Bartitsu is the gentleman’s martial art style. Its most
famous practitioners—including Sherlock Holmes and
John Steed—may be fictional, but it is a real martial art
that trains people how to use walking sticks or umbrellas,
items that the everyday person might carry, as a
weapon. This martial art has continued to exist through
self-defense classes throughout Europe and for those
of the upper crust. A similar combat variation to Bartitsu
is Bataireacht from Tír na nÓg, which focuses on the
use of a cudgel or shillelagh.
