Bartitsu is a fictional martial art inspired by Bartitsu, a self-defense system created by the British Edward William Barton-Wright. This defense technique, influenced by Japanese jujutsu, is also referred to as the "Art of Self-Defense for Ladies and Gentlemen." The method is notable for teaching how to use everyday items associated with the lifestyles of gentlemen and ladies—such as canes, umbrellas, billiard cues, chairs, bicycles, and jackets—for self-defense. Additionally, it employs techniques that leverage an opponent's strength or the principles of leverage, making it accessible to people of all ages and genders.
