I'd recommend this as a companion book for pugilists, fencers, or practicioners of European martial arts. It's a good read. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Long lost cousing of Bartitsu *by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2015* This is not a poorly copied old book, this is the fruit of careful research and is well worth the money.Are you interested in the way people use to walk with the head high? Well, being fit and capable of defending yourself or the innocent, if the need arises, has a lot to do with that.It appears that the gentleman of old not only were elegant, cultured and confident, they also knew how to kick you know what. I wonder how many of today's intellectuals are able to act like men when the situation requires it.With the exception of the jiu jitsu part, this is similar to the bartitsu canon, with the use of fists, kicks, walking sticks, etc. The similarity goes so far, as to the point, that both systems were forgotten and survived only in the form of popular press articles.In any case it gives food for thought in this age of lose moral and lack of ideals.Petet ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Basic techniques ,puching ,kicking ,cane *by S***S on Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2024* Nice small hardcover book ,like the stories in his time ,some knife fights ,his training ,really enjoyed this book ,nice it not modern fighting takes place over 125 years ago the streets different back then ## Frequently Bought Together - Self-Defense for Gentlemen and Ladies: A Nineteenth-Century Treatise on Boxing, Kicking, Grappling, and Fencing with the Cane and Quarterstaff - Bartitsu: The Walking Stick Method of Self-Defence - The Bartitsu Compendium, Volume 1: History and the Canonical Syllabus --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/14747428-self-defense-for-gentlemen-and-ladies-a-nineteenth-century-treatise](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/14747428-self-defense-for-gentlemen-and-ladies-a-nineteenth-century-treatise) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
