Defendu in Context
Video looking at ways in which Defendu can be used in typical WW2 scenarios. Focusing on how what feels like disparate techniques can flow together depending on range, objective and strategy. Will do a follow up focusing on the use of WW2 cold weapons (FS Knife, Smatchet, Thumb Knife, Cosh, Garotte etc). Welcome to the Bartitsu Lab. Home to content covering historic and modern arts. The channel has a focus on the arts of Edwardian / Victorian Britain and the WW2 Theatre, though you will see many things outside of that too. Like what you see?
