Immortalized by Sherlock Holmes ("baritsu"), Bartitsu is a Victorian England eclectic martial art. It has the elements of Jujutsu, Schwingen, Savate, Canne de combat, Judo, and Boxing. The founder of this martial art, Edward William Barton-Wright, intended it as self-defense in all its forms. In 1899, Barton-Wright summarized the essential principles of Bartitsu as:

1.) To disturb the equilibrium of your assailant.
2.) To surprise him before he has time to regain his balance and use his strength.
3.) If necessary, to subject the joints of any parts of his body, whether neck, shoulder, elbow, wrist, back, knee, ankle, etc. to strains that they are anatomically and mechanically unable to resist.

Bartitsu has the appropriate techniques on both long and short range. In long range, it is more dependent on the use of the walking stick (a popular weapon in the 19th century), while in short-range, it is dependent primarily to jiu-jitsu grappling. Boxing is used in the middle of the two ranges. It is emphasized in this discipline that one should be able to have smooth transition when alternating between the ranges.

Bartitsu is one of the most diverse fighting style in the world, and almost perfect. There is just something classy about it. Probably because the Victorian charm. Some glimpse of bartitsu can be found in the Sherlock Holmes (2009) movie, where both Holmes and Dr. Watson used it in their fight scenes.
