Bartitsu is a martial art that originated in the late 19th century in England. It is a hybrid style that combines Asian and European fighting techniques. Bartitsu gained popularity among rich Englishmen who were interested in self-defense. Techniques include boxing, jujutsu, judo, and cane fighting. The name "bartitsu" comes from the combination of the founder's name, Edward William Barton-Wright, and the Japanese word "jutsu," which means technique. Synonyms for bartitsu include "Victorian martial art," "Barton-Wright self-defense system," and "Edwardian combat sport." While not as well-known as other martial arts, bartitsu is still taught in various places around the world today.
