'In a sense, this tradition was immediately picked up by Pierre
Vigny, albeit not as "Bartitsu" per se; it seems likely that
Barton-Wright and Pierre Vigny simply had common goals and methods, and
that their collaboration at the Bartitsu Club had led them both in
similar directions. Either way, there is little to distinguish between
Bartitsu and Pierre Vigny's self defence system as it was described in
the years following the demise of the Bartitsu Club.
Perhaps the
most detailed and developed applications of the Bartitsu philosophy
emerged in the self-defence manuals published by French defence dans la
rue instructors Jean Joseph Renaud and George Dubois, who had trained in
jiujitsu with the Bartitsu Club instructors and went on to fold it into
their own eclectic self defence systems.'
