Bartitsu - Self-defense with the hooked walking stick - cane fighting like Sherlock Holmes

Bartitsu was a martial art designed for selfdefense by Barton Wright in victorian London. The Bartitsu Academy of martial arts and physical culture includes different fighting arts as pugilism or bare knuckle boxing, Savate, Jiu Jitsu and Pierre Vignys new method of la canne - fighting with the walking cane for Gentlemen.
Bartitsu got also popular as Arthur Conan Doyle let his figure Sherlock Holmes use Baritsu at the Reichenbach falls against his opponent Professor Moriarty. This makes Bartitsu so famous under Victorian or Edwardian era larper and in the Steampunkt community.
