The gentlefolk of the time turned to the salles and fencing schools of the time to develop self-defense strategies to protect themselves.

​By examining the known defensive arts of the times as well as the techniques of the ruffians.  combat academy instructors in London and Paris developed the effective street defense systems of Bartitsu and La Defense dans la Rue.  In what appears to be a coincidental cogenesis event the arts combined Pugilism, Savate, wrestling, cane (walking stick) fencing and the newly introduced art of jiu-jitsu from Japan.

These street-tested defenses are just as effective today as they were 100+ years ago.

This in-person session will be a participation class showcasing elements of Bartitsu and La Defense dans la Rue.

This class will focus on the use of basic foot and pugilism techniques with a concerted focus on the use of the walking stick or cane.

Cane and sticks will be provided but you are welcome to bring your own.  Straight walking sticks are preferred but some applications of the hooked cane will be covered as well.
