Desenvolvida pelo inglês Edward William Barton-Wright no fim do século XIX. Em 1898, depois de viver 3 anos no Japão, criou uma nova arte de defesa pessoal: o ''Bartitsu'', que combinava elementos de diferentes estilos de luta como jiu-jitsu, judô e boxe. Em 1901 ele foi imortalizado (como "'''Baritsu'''") por [[Sir Arthur Conan Doyle]], autor das histórias de mistério de [[Sherlock Holmes]].<ref>{{citar jornal|título= SHERLOCK Ho-Ho-HOLMES: A Great Christmas Gift?|obra= Kung Fu Magazine|data=|url=http://ezine.kungfumagazine.com/ezine/article.php?article=865|acessodata=2009-12-27}}</ref> Embora dormente durante a maior parte do século XX, Bartitsu vem experimentando um renascimento desde 2002.<ref name="Godfrey, 2009" >{{citar periódico |

== History == |

In 1898, [[Edward William Barton-Wright]], a [[British people|British]] [[engineer]] who had spent the previous three years living in the [[Empire of Japan]], returned to England and announced the formation of a "New Art of Self Defence".<ref name="Wolf, 2007" >{{citar web |

}}</ref> This art, he claimed, combined the best elements of a range of fighting styles into a unified whole, which he had named Bartitsu. Barton-Wright, who had previously also studied "[[boxing]], [[wrestling]], [[fencing]], [[savate]] and the use of the [[stiletto]] under recognised masters", defined Bartitsu as meaning "self defence in all its forms". The word was a combination of his own surname and of "[[jujutsu|Jujitsu]]".<ref name="Wolf, 2005" >{{citar livro |

As detailed in a series of articles Barton-Wright produced for ''Pearson's Magazine'' between 1899 and 1901, Bartitsu was largely drawn from the Shinden Fudo Ryu jujutsu of [[sensei]] Terajima Kuniichiro (not to be confused with the SFR [[taijutsu]] associated with the [[Bujinkan]] lineage) and from [[Judo|Kodokan judo]]. As it became established in London, the art expanded to incorporate combat techniques from the [[Tenjin Shinyō-ryū|Tenjin Shinyō]], [[Fusen Ryu|Fusen]] and [[Daito-ryu aiki-jujutsu|Daito]] schools of jujutsu as well as British boxing, Swiss [[schwingen]], French savate and a defensive [[Canne de combat|la canne]] ([[stick fighting]]) style that had been developed by [[Pierre Vigny]] of Switzerland. Bartitsu also included a comprehensive [[physical culture]] training system. |

{{quote|Under Bartitsu is included boxing, or the use of the fist as a hitting medium, the use of the feet both in an offensive and defensive sense, the use of the walking stick as a means of self-defence. Judo and jujitsu, which were secret styles of Japanese wrestling, he would call close play as applied to self-defence. |
|||
In order to ensure as far as it was possible immunity against injury in cowardly attacks or quarrels, they must understand boxing in order to thoroughly appreciate the danger and rapidity of a well-directed blow, and the particular parts of the body which were scientifically attacked. The same, of course, applied to the use of the foot or the stick. |
|||
Judo and jujitsu were not designed as primary means of attack and defence against a boxer or a man who kicks you, but were only to be used after coming to close quarters, and in order to get to close quarters it was absolutely necessary to understand boxing and the use of the foot.}} |

== Bartitsu Club == |
|||
Between 1899 and 1902, Barton-Wright set about publicizing his art through magazine articles, interviews and a series of demonstrations or "assaults at arms" at various London venues. He established a school called the Bartitsu Academy of Arms and Physical Culture, known informally as the Bartitsu Club, which was located at 67b [[Shaftesbury Avenue]] in [[Soho]]. In an article for ''[[Eugen Sandow|Sandow's Magazine of Physical Culture]]'' vol. 6, (January 1901), journalist Mary Nugent described the Bartitsu Club as "... a huge subterranean hall, all glittering, white-tiled walls, and electric light, with 'champions' prowling around it like tigers."<ref name="Nugent, Sandow's, 1901" >{{citar periódico |

Via correspondence with Professor [[Jigoro Kano]], the founder of Kodokan Judo, and other contacts in Japan, Barton-Wright arranged for Japanese jujutsu practitioners K. Tani, S. Yamamoto and the nineteen year old [[Yukio Tani]] to travel to London and serve as instructors at the Bartitsu Club. K. Tani and Yamamoto soon returned to Japan, but Yukio Tani stayed and was shortly joined by another young jujutsuka, [[Sadakazu Uyenishi]]. Swiss master-at-arms [[Pierre Vigny]] and wrestler Armand Cherpillod were also employed as teachers at the Club. As well as teaching well-to-do Londoners, their duties included performing demonstrations and competing in challenge matches against fighters representing other combat styles.<ref name="Sandow's, 1902" >{{citar periódico |

|||
In mid-1901, the curriculum of Bartitsu was further expanded to include breathing exercises under the tuition of Mrs. Emil Behnke.<ref name="Behnke, 1901" >{{citar periódico |

|||
As well as the combat gymnasium, the Bartitsu Club incorporated a well-appointed salon equipped with a wide range of [[electrotherapy]] machines. |
|||
The Club was organised on the model of the Victorian sporting club; prospective members submitted their applications to a committee, which at one time included both [[Captain Alfred Hutton]] and Colonel George Malcolm Fox, former Inspector-General of the [[British Army]]'s Physical Training Corps. Promoters of the Club included politicians [[Herbert Gladstone]] and [[Lord Alwyne Compton (politician)|Lord Alwyne Compton]]. |
|||
Bartitsu Club membership included [[Cosmo Duff Gordon|Sir Cosmo Duff Gordon]], who was later to achieve notoriety as one of the few adult male survivors of the sinking of the [[RMS Titanic]], as well as Captain F.C. Laing of the 12th Bengal Infantry, who subsequently wrote an article on Bartitsu stick fighting techniques which was published in the ''Journal of the United Service Institution of India''.<ref name="Laing, " >{{citar web |

|||
Barton-Wright later reported that, during this period, he had challenged and defeated seven larger men within three minutes as part of a Bartitsu demonstration he gave at St. James's Hall. He said this feat earned him a membership in the prestigious [[List of London's gentlemen's clubs|Bath Club]] and also a Royal Command to appear before [[Edward VII of the United Kingdom|Edward, Prince of Wales]].<ref name="koizumi, 1950" >{{citar periódico |

|||
== Self defence == |
|||
Barton-Wright encouraged members of the Bartitsu Club to study each of the four major hand-to-hand combat styles taught at the Club, each of which broadly corresponded to a different "range" of personal combat.<ref>{{citar web|url=http://www.fullcontactmartialarts.org/bartitsu.html|autor =Marien, Catherine |
|||
|título=Bartitsu |
|||
}}</ref> |
|||
The goal was to master each style well enough that they could be used against the others if needed. This process was similar to the modern concept of [[cross-training]] and it can be argued that Bartitsu itself was more in the nature of a cross-training system than a formal martial arts style. |
|||
In 1899, Barton-Wright summarised 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. |
|||
Based on Barton-Wright's writings upon this subject, it is evident that Bartitsu placed greatest emphasis upon the Vigny cane fighting system at the striking range and upon jujutsu (and, secondarily, the "all-in" style of European wrestling) at the grappling range. Savate and boxing methods were used to [[segue]] between these two ranges, or as a means of first response should the defender not be armed with a walking stick. These sports were also practiced so that Bartitsu students could learn how to defend against them through the use of jujutsu and Vigny stick fighting. Barton-Wright was reported to have modified the techniques of both boxing and savate for self defence purposes, as distinct from academic and fitness training or sporting competition.<ref name="Wolf, 2005"/> |
|||
According to interviewer Mary Nugent, Barton-Wright instituted an unusual pedagogical system whereby students were first required to attend private training sessions before being allowed to join class groups.<ref name="Nugent, Health and Strength, 1901" /> It is evident that Bartitsu classes included pre-arranged exercises, especially for use in rehearsing those techniques that were too dangerous to be performed at full speed or contact, as well as [[Aliveness (martial arts)|free-sparring and fencing bouts]].<ref name="Wolf, 2005"/> According to an anonymous article published in "The Sketch" of April 10, 1901, these sessions may have involved a type of [[circuit training]] in which students would rotate between small group classes taught by each of the specialist instructors. |
|||
Many Bartitsu self defence techniques and training sequences were recorded by Barton-Wright himself in his series of articles for ''Pearson's Magazine.''<ref name="Barton-Wright, Pearson's, March 1899" >[[#Barton-Wright, Pearson's, March 1899|Pearson's, March 1899]]</ref><ref name="Barton-Wright, Pearson's, April 1899" >[[#Barton-Wright, Pearson's, April 1899|Pearson's, April 1899]]</ref><ref name="Barton-Wright, Pearson's, February 1901" >[[#Barton-Wright, Pearson's, February 1901|Pearson's, February 1901]]</ref> The specific details of other Bartitsu stick fighting training drills were recorded in Captain Laing's article. |
|||
== Decline == |
|||
Despite his enthusiasm, Barton-Wright seems to have been a mediocre promoter. By March of 1902, the Bartitsu Club was no longer active as a martial arts school; wrestler and journalist Percy Longhurst subsequently suggested that both the enrollment and tuition fees had been too high. It is likely that Barton-Wright had simply over-estimated the number of wealthy Londoners who shared his interest in exotic self defence systems. It may also be significant that a major exhibition presented by members of the Bartitsu Club at [[St. James's Hall]] in December of 1901 had been badly managed. After a late start, there was confusion and then a vehement public argument about the arrangements made for refereeing a wrestling match as part of the display. The disruption was noted by several newspaper reviewers and may have contributed towards the Club's closure in early 1902.<ref name="Pocock, R. Noel, The Bartitsu Tournament, January 1902" >[[#Pocock,R. Noel, The Bartitsu Tournament, January 1902|http://ejmas.com/jmanly/articles/2001/jmanlyart_sandows_0301.htm]]</ref> |
|||
Most of Barton-Wright's former employees, including jujutsuka Yukio Tani and Sadakazu Uyenishi and Swiss self defence expert Pierre Vigny, established their own self defence and combat sports gymnasiums in London. After breaking with Barton-Wright, purportedly due to an argument and a fight, Tani also continued his work as a professional [[music-hall]] wrestler under the shrewd management of William Bankier, a strength performer and magazine publisher who went by the stage name of "Apollo". Bankier's promotional efforts helped to spur the international [[fad]] for jujutsu that Barton-Wright had begun, and which included the publication of numerous books and magazine articles as well as the establishment of jujutsu schools throughout the Western world. This fad lasted until the beginning of [[World War I]] and served to introduce jujutsu into Western [[popular culture]].<ref name="koizumi, 1950" /> |
|||
Although Barton-Wright was rumoured to have continued to develop and teach his martial art at least until the 1920s, it never again returned to prominence. |
|||
== "Baritsu" and Sherlock Holmes== |
|||
{{main|Baritsu}} |
|||
Bartitsu might have been completely forgotten if not for a cryptic reference by [[Sir Arthur Conan Doyle]] in one of his [[Sherlock Holmes]] mystery stories. In 1901 Conan Doyle had revived Holmes for a further story, ''[[The Adventure of the Empty House]]'', in which Holmes explained his victory over [[Professor Moriarty]] in their struggle at [[Reichenbach Falls]] by the use of "''baritsu'', or the Japanese system of wrestling, which has more than once been very useful to me". |
|||
The term "baritsu" did not exist outside the pages of the English editions of ''The Adventure of the Empty House''. It is possible that Conan Doyle, who, like E.W. Barton-Wright, was writing for Pearson’s Magazine during the late 1890s, was vaguely aware of Bartitsu and simply mis-remembered or misheard the term; it may even have been a typographical error or a concern about [[copyright]]. It should also be noted that a newspaper report on a Bartitsu demonstration in London, published in 1900, had likewise misspelled the name as baritsu.<ref name="Godfrey, 2009" /> |
|||
This confusion of names persisted through much of the 20th century, with Holmes enthusiasts puzzling over the identity of baritsu. In an article for the [[Baker_Street_Irregulars#Modern_organizations|Baker Street Journal]] Christmas Annual of 1958, journalist Ralph Judson correctly identified baritsu with Bartitsu, but [http://www.bartitsu.org/index.php/2010/10/the-mystery-of-baritsu-1958/ Judson's article] itself eventually became obscured. During the 1980s researchers Alan Fromm and Nicolas Soames re-affirmed the relationship between baritsu and Bartitsu<ref>{{citar livro|primeiro =Alan|último =Fromm|coautor=Nicolas Soames|título=Judo, the gentle way|publicado=Routledge|ano=1982|isbn=0710090250|páginas=7–8}}</ref> and by the 1990s scholars including Yuichi Hirayama, John Hall, Richard Bowen and James Webb were able to confidently identify and document the martial art of Sherlock Holmes.<ref name="Bowen, 1997" >{{citar periódico |

== Later life == |

E.W. Barton-Wright spent the remainder of his career working as a physical therapist specialising in innovative (and sometimes controversial) forms of heat, light, and radiation [[therapy]]. He continued to use the name "Bartitsu" with reference to his various therapeutic businesses.<ref name="Wolf, 2005" /> In 1950, Barton-Wright was interviewed by [[Gunji Koizumi]] for an article appearing in the [[Budokwai]] newsletter, and later that year he was presented to the audience at a Budokwai gathering in London. He died in 1951, at the age of 90, and was buried in what the late martial arts historian Richard Bowen described as being "a pauper's grave."<ref name="Noble, 1999" >{{citar periódico |

== Legacy == |
|||
In many ways, E.W. Barton-Wright was a man ahead of his time. He was among the first Europeans known to have studied the [[Japanese martial arts]], and was almost certainly the first to have taught them in Europe, the [[British Empire]] or the Americas. |
|||
Bartitsu was the first martial art to have deliberately combined Asian and European fighting styles towards addressing the problems of civilian/urban [[self-defense|self-defence]] in an "unarmed society". In this, Barton-Wright anticipated [[Bruce Lee]]'s [[Jeet Kune Do]] approach by over seventy years. A similar philosophy of [[pragmaticism|pragmatic]] [[eclecticism]] was taken up by other early 20th century European self-defence specialists, including Percy Longhurst, William Garrud and Jean Joseph-Renaud, all of whom had studied with former Bartitsu Club instructors.<ref name="Wolf, 2005" /> |
|||
[[Defendo|Bill Underwood]], [[William E. Fairbairn]] and others charged with developing [[close combat]] systems for use by [[Allies of World War II|Allied]] troops during the [[Second World War]] likewise devised practical, intercultural hand-to-hand combat systems. Underwood had actually studied jujutsu with Yukio Tani and another jujutsuka, [[Taro Miyake]], in London during the first decade of the 20th century. The systems founded by Underwood, Fairbairn, and their contemporaries became the basis for most [[military]] and [[police]] close-combat training throughout the Western world during the 20th century. |
|||
E.W. Barton-Wright is also remembered as a pioneering promoter of [[mixed martial arts]] or MMA contests, in which experts in different fighting styles compete under common rules. Barton-Wright's champions, including Yukio Tani, Sadakazu Uyenishi and Swiss ''[[schwingen]]'' wrestler Armand Cherpillod enjoyed considerable success in these contests, which anticipated the MMA phenomenon of the 1990s by a hundred years. |
|||
The Bartitsu Club was among the first schools of its type in Europe to offer specialised classes in women's self defence, a practice taken up after the Club's demise by students of Yukio Tani and Sadakazu Uyenishi including [[Edith Margaret Garrud]] and Emily Watts. Mrs. Garrud established her own jujutsu [[dojo]] (school) in London and also taught the art to members of the militant [[Suffragette]] movement, establishing an early association between self defence training and the political philosophy of [[feminism]]. |
|||
== Contemporary interest and revival== |
|||
In 2001, the ''Electronic Journals of Martial Arts and Sciences'' (EJMAS) web site<ref name="EJMAS" >[http://ejmas.com Electronic Journals of Martial Arts and Sciences]</ref> began to re-publish many of Barton-Wright's magazine articles that had been discovered in the [[British Library]] archives by Richard Bowen.<ref name="Bowen" >{{citar web |
|||
|url=http://www.bath.ac.uk/library/archives/bowen.htm |
|||
|publicado=University of Bath Archives |
|||
|título=Richard Bowen Collection |
|||
}}</ref> Almost immediately, the "Self Defence with a Walking Stick" articles attracted a minor [[cult]] following and the illustrations were reproduced, often with humorous captions or other alterations, on a number of other sites. Also in that year, Bartitsu stick fighting demonstrations were added to the educational displays performed at the [[Royal Armouries]] in [[Leeds]], U.K. |
|||
In 2002, an international association of Bartitsu enthusiasts, known as the Bartitsu Society, was formed to research and then revive E.W. Barton-Wright's "New Art of Self Defence". The Society approaches Bartitsu research and training via two related fields, those of [[canonical]] Bartitsu (the self-defense sequences that were detailed by Barton-Wright and his associates between 1899–1902) and neo-Bartitsu (modern, individualised interpretations drawing from the canon but reinforced by the training manuals produced by former Bartitsu Club instructors and their students between 1899 and the early 1920s). |
|||
The modern revival aims to both preserve what is known of the canonical syllabus and to continue Barton-Wright's [[experiments]] in cross-training/testing between (kick)boxing, jiujitsu and stick fighting, on the premise that these experiments were left as a [[work in progress]] when the Bartitsu Club closed in 1902. Thus, the revival is considered to be a collaborative, open-ended and [[open source]] project, rather than an attempt to create a completely [[codified]]{{dn}} system. |
|||
Associated interests include the study of the martial arts as [[Victorian era|Victorian]] and [[Edwardian]] [[social history]]. The Bartitsu Society communicates via an email group established by author [[Will Thomas]] and individual members offer practical [[seminars]] and training courses in Bartitsu fighting techniques. |
|||
In August 2005, the Society published a book, ''The Bartitsu Compendium'', which was edited by Tony Wolf.<ref name="Wolf, 2005" /> The ''Compendium'' details the complete history of the art as well as a technical curriculum for canonical Bartitsu.

Lang and [[Jean-Joseph Renaud|Jean Joseph Renaud]]. From 2005 onwards, members of the Bartitsu Society began to teach seminar courses in various aspects of the art at [[stage combat]] and martial arts conferences throughout the world. |
|||
In September 2006, Bartitsu Society member Kirk Lawson released a [[DVD]] entitled ''Bartitsu - the Martial Art of Sherlock Holmes'', which is a presentation of Bartitsu techniques as demonstrated at the Spring '06 Cumann Bhata [[Western Martial Arts]] Seminar. |
|||
In October 2006, the Bartitsu Society launched the Bartitsu.org website,<ref name="Bartitsu.org" >{{citar web |

|url=http://www.bartitsu.org/ |
|||
|título=Bartitsu.org |
|||
}}</ref> which includes information on the history, theory and practice of Barton-Wright's martial art. |
|||
In July 2008, Kirk Lawson officially announced the first ongoing Bartitsu/Neo-Bartitsu training commitment at his club, Cumann Bhata Dayton. In August 2009 the Bartitsu Society announced the production of a full-length documentary on E.W. Barton-Wright and his self defence arts. |

Articles on various aspects of Bartitsu have been published in journals including "Classical Fighting Arts", "Western Martial Arts Illustrated", "The Journal of Asian Martial Arts", "SteamPunk Magazine", "[[The Chap]]", "[[History Today]]" and "[[Clarkesworld Magazine]]". |
|||
Proceeds from the sales of the ''Bartitsu Compendium'', the ''Bartitsu Compendium II'', and the ''Martial Art of Sherlock Holmes'' DVD have been dedicated to creating a memorial for E.W. Barton-Wright. |
|||
Inspired and guided by the Bartitsu Society and the two compendiums, Bartitsu training programs have been launched at the Vancouver-based Academie Duello,<ref>http://academieduello.posterous.com/brand-new-bartitsu-program</ref> at the Alte Kampfkunst in Wuppertal, Germany,<ref>http://www.bartitsu.org/index.php/2010/08/new-ongoing-bartitsu-course-at-the-alte-kampfkunst-wuppertal-germany/</ref> and at Briercrest College and Seminary in Caronport, Saskatchewan<ref>http://cdntheologianscholar.wordpress.com/2010/04/20/bartitsu-club/</ref> amongst other locations. |

=="Baritsu" in popular culture== |
|||
Conan Doyle's "baritsu" developed a life of its own during the latter 20th century, and it was duly recorded that fictional heroes including [[Doc Savage]] and [[The Shadow]] had been initiated into its mysteries; the latter two characters were established as knowing baritsu in a [[DC Comics]] crossover that spilled over into The Shadow Strikes. Baritsu has been incorporated into numerous Sherlock Holmes-inspired novels and short stories and also into the rules of several [[role-playing games]] set during the Victorian and Edwardian eras.<ref name="GURPS, 2007" >{{citar livro |

The [[manga]] and [[anime]] series Kuroshitsuji ([[Black Butler]]) features a character named Tanaka who is proficient in baritsu. |

Richard Ryan, the fight choreographer for the 2009 movie ''[[Sherlock Holmes (2009 film)|Sherlock Holmes]]'', has described the "neo-Bartitsu" developed for that project as being a combination of "Chinese Boxing ([[Wing Chun]]), swordplay and elements of [[Brazilian Jujitsu]]." This "movie Bartitsu" was said to be an modern interpretation of the classic Victorian Bartitsu style.<ref>Wolf, Tony and Ryan, Richard (2009): [http://www.bartitsu.org/index.php/2009/12/its-brilliant-perfect-lets-change-it-an-interview-with-sherlock-holmes-fight-choreographer-richard-ryan/ "It's brilliant, perfect ... let's change it! An interview with Sherlock Holmes fight choreographer Richard Ryan"]</ref> In a December 23, 2009 interview with Vanity Fair Magazine, director Guy Ritchie described baritsu as "... a form of Jujitsu. This is way before martial arts took off anywhere in Europe. You can actually look it up on the Internet. You’ll see these little men hitting one another with walking sticks. The idea was that you use your opponent’s strengths against them. With the use of surprise. There’s all sorts of locks and chokes and various other techniques used to incapacitate someone. There’s lots of throwing hats at someone’s eyes, and then striking at them, if you can, with a walking stick."<ref>Sancton, Julian.

Vanity Fair, December 23, 2009</ref> The movie fight choreography included several signature fighting techniques from Barton-Wright's articles, including double-handed thrusts with walking sticks and the use of an overcoat to distract and entangle an adversary. |

Bartitsu é uma arte marcial mista, híbrida e ecléctica e método de defesa pessoal originalmente desenvolvido na Inglaterra durante os anos de 1898 a 1902. Desenvolvida pelo inglês Edward William Barton-Wright no fim do século XIX. Em 1898, depois de viver 3 anos no Japão, criou uma nova arte de defesa pessoal: o Bartitsu, que combinava elementos de diferentes estilos de luta como jiu-jitsu, judô e boxe. Em 1901 ele foi imortalizado (como "Baritsu") por Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, autor das histórias de mistério de Sherlock Holmes.[1] Embora dormente durante a maior parte do século XX, Bartitsu vem experimentando um renascimento desde 2002.[2]
