Description
French master-at-arms in savate and canne who founded his own walking-stick
and umbrella self-defence method around 1898 in Geneva, where he had a school of
arms. He was the stick-fighting instructor of Barton-Wright's Bartitsu Club
in London, opened his own academy at 18 Berner Street in 1903, and returned to
Geneva in 1912. His wife Marguerite, his assistant instructor, developed an
umbrella self-defence method.

“Circa 1899–1902, Hutton taught stage fencing classes for actors via the
Bartitsu Club, where he also served on the board of directors and learned the
basics of jujutsu and the Vigny method of stick fighting from his fellow
instructors.”
