BARITSU & BARTITSU

Fans of Sherlock Holmes will have noted, if they are martial artists, especially those in judo and jiujitsu, that Holmes used the Japanese art of BARITSU or as it was eventually called, BARTITSU in a few of the stories. He was also an adept at boxing and single stick and had an exceptional grip. Some of the later TV shows with Jeremy Britt have shown some of this but I cannot recall the exact shows at this time. I have mentioned all this at the JUDO FORUM website during discussion topics there as have others who have many interesting things to say. The address is judoforum.com
