Bartitsu was probably the first instance of what we know today as mixed martial arts. Mr. Barton combined elements of boxing, jujitsu, cane fighting, and french kick boxing in order to create a self defense system that could be used by discerning gentlemen on the mean streets of Edwardian London.

In foreign countries people never fight for amusement or diversion, as is often the case in England and the United States. Bearing this fact in mind, it will be more easy to understand that when foreigners fall out and fight, they recognise one goal only, and that is to overcome and defeat their adversaries, and any means is considered justifiable and is resorted to, to attain this end.

About Bartitsu Bartitsu is a hybrid martial art and self-defence system devised by Edward William Barton-Wright towards the end of the 19th century and taught at his school in London between the years of 1898 and 1902.

A familiar street scene in early 20th century London; police constables arrest a Suffragette protestor.
We have not yet made ourselves a match for the police, and we have got to do it. The police know jiu-jitsu. I advise you to learn jiu-jitsu. Women should practice it as well as men.Don’t come to meetings without sticks in future, men and women alike. It is worth while really striking. . - Suffragette leader Sylvia Pankhurst, quoted in the New York Times on August 12th, 1913. By 1913, the sociopolitical battle that was the British women’s suffrage movement had reached a boiling point.
To keep their leaders free as long as possible, as well as to protect them against run of the mill assaults by irate defenders of the status quo, the Women’s Social and Political Union created a secret society known as The Bodyguard. 84211e78c4cb7d5646c46122f39378.jpg (JPEG Image, 540 × 4314 pixels) - Scaled (28%) 5 Common Crime Fighting Tactics (Statistics Say Don't Work) #2.

No, if you are serious about crime, you need to scare those guys straight! So What's the Problem? On Pacifism. I would only have to write this to a domesticated populace.
Attack a bear at your peril- it WILL retaliate. Watch small children, if one transgresses the other- the injured party will inevitably respond. Watch the social life of wolves or chicken, the pecking order is not a metaphor. Only the modern human is so domesticated, self-defense having become so alien, that not fighting back in the face of violence could be touted as a virtue. Even the loyal and humble dog will snap at an abuser. What then, does that say about us and how those in power have shaped our modern domesticated human tendencies? The Warrior's Way. The Reality of the Warrior Class. Most people are not born fighters or natural killers. 97% of us will react to the possibility of physical violence in the same way that we would react to an open flame thrust at our face.
This is self-defense hard coded into our brains, with only a 3% margin seeking danger instead of running from it. This reaction to violence is natural and wise, but also dangerous and limiting.
