	Sherlock Holmes - www.ezboard.com
		He refers to the use of "Baritsu", which was the name given to the Japanese jujitsu which a certain Englishman brought back to England with him after studying in Japan.
		I do know that 'baritsu', while little known today, emerged during that period where Europe was all fascinated with Japan, so maybe it would have been a little better known than now.
		So baritsu would have had a very nasty and long lived cane fighting tradition to base itself on, if indeed it did have a cane fighting component.

	The Honourable Son
		Baritsu finally told me that his son was at Bow Street, and as he visited the lad every evening, he insisted I accompany him at once.
		Baritsu spoke to them in their own language, and they sat cross-legged on the floor and chattered in low voices.
		Old Baritsu met the man as he came around the bar, caught the arm that was swinging a bung-starter, and twisted the weapon out of the man’s hand.

		Baritsu's mentioned in The Adventure of the Empty Houseand is generally seen as a misprint for E. Barton-Wright's Anglized ju-jutsu, Bartisu publicized in The New Art of Self-Defense in Pearson's Magazine March-April 1899
		On returning to Britain he had started to teach his own style which he called Baritsu.
		Baritsu is referred to by Conan Doyle in the first chapter of The return of Sherlock Holmes.-quoted from MA History-urbin.net/eww/ma/mahist.html

	MA History
		"Baritsu" is referred to by Conan Doyle in the first chapter of "The return of Sherlock Holmes".
		Conan Doyle wrote the Holmes stories in the late 1890's early 1900's but are set back to the 1880's.
		I cannot discover if Barton Wright actually taught "Baritsu" during the 1880's or whether this was an anachronism on Doyle's part.

		I have some knowledge, however, of baritsu [sic], or the Japanese system of wrestling, which has more than once been very useful to me. I slipped through his grip, and he with a horrible scream kicked madly for a few seconds and clawed the air with both his hands.

		Moriarty he says it was because he had "some experience with baritsu, or japanese wrestling." My question is, what is baritsu, is it another name for jujutsu, judo, or maybe some jujutsu ryu?
		He called his system "Bartitsu." Doyle's "baritsu," while seemingly more "Japanese," is presumably either a misprint (my copies have that, too) or some kind of copyright protection bid'ness.
		The most detailed discussion that I've seen is Richard Bowen, "Further Lessons in Baritsu," The Ritual (Bi-annual Review of the Northern Musgraves Sherlock Holmes Society), 20, Autumn 1997.

		This is the art Sherlock Holmes mentioned in the story "The Empty House" that he had used to defeat Professor Moriarty.
		I read in a recent MAI article (last issue or the one before) by Dave Turton that "Baritsu" was created by the author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who combined western wrestling with Ju Jutsu.
		There were self-defence manuals soon being published around the turn of the century describing Baritsu as a gentleman's system of self-defence.

	International Atemi Bartitsu
		Barton-Wright also published several articles on a self defence system using the cane, derived from a swiss Savate instructor.
		He was featured in many magazines of the time such as Health and Strength and his Bartitsu appeared as Baritsu in the works of Conan-Doyle’s, Sherlock Holmes.
		A year or so before his death in 1951 aged 90, he attended the Budokwai’s annual celebration at the Royal Albert Hall and was presented to the audience; a fitting accolade bleakly contrasted with his final demise, a paupers funeral in an unmarked grave.

		Another thing we must consider is that Holmes managed to defeat Moriarty by using the Japanese style of wrestling, called baritsu; yet, it was Moriarty who taught him how to fence and kick-box, as well as other European and foreign-continental fighting skills.
		It’s possible he was even better than Holmes at baritsu, or any other fighting method he chose to use.
		We must also remember that they were both tall men, and violently casting the other into the Falls would no doubt cause the thrower to slip in the mud and fall with him.

		Hutton also tells us that, “the fence of the case of rapiers, as of all the other Elizabethan weapons, is much in vogue at the present time at the Baritsu club, now the headquarters of ancient swordplay in this country”.
		The Baritsu club ironically was itself teaching an eclectic English form of self-defense created by combining boxing, wrestling, and Savate with elements from Japanese jujitsu and had among its members Arthur Conan Doyle.
		The group of Hutton and his associates was quite active in studying and practicing historical fencing.

	The meeting "A week later"
		Holmes was given up for dead on the 4th of May 1891, having plunged into the falls of Reichenbach, near Meiringen in Switzerland, clinging to his mortal enemy Professor Moriarty.
		Three years later he reappeared in London and to the astonished Watson declared that in reality he had freed himself with a clever baritsu move; had then decided to pretend he had died, escaped into the darkness and… "a week later I found myself in Florence".

		As everyone knows, Sherlock Holmes only appeared to plunge into the Reichenbach Falls, locked in a deadly embrace with Professor Moriarty.
		In fact, using his knowledge of ‘baritsu, or the Japanese system of wrestling’, Holmes slipped Moriarty’s grip at the vital moment, watched his nemesis totter then fall, and was planning his next move before the Napoleon of crime had even hit the water.
		Holmes returned to London – via Florence, Tibet, Persia, Mecca, Khartoum and Montpellier (where he undertook a little research into coal-tar derivatives) – to surprise Dr Watson at his Paddington consulting rooms some years later, in the guise of an elderly bibliophile.

		But for one brief, glittering moment, I had this vision of Mary Russell's beautiful ocean death, something like the finish to Titanic, where Holmes hangs over some floating wreckage and Mary, rather than let go like Jack did in Titanic, clings to Sherlock and starts pulling him under with her.
		Holmes, having been in a similar watery grave situation before, instinctively uses baritsu to slip her grasp.
		After watching his much younger wife disappear into the murky depths, a slight smile crosses the consulting detective's face and he suddenly finds renewed vigor to start paddling his piece of wreckage back to Sussex.

		Sherlock Holmes and his archenemy, Professor James Moriarty, fought a terrible battle atop the magnificent Reichenbach Falls in Meiringen, Switzerland.
		Holmes, the world’s foremost private consulting detective and a master of baritsu (the Japanese system of wrestling), emerged victorious, and Moriarty fell, screaming horribly, to his death.
		Several weeks earlier, in the detective’s rooms in Baker Street, not far from London’s Marble Arch, Moriarty had warned his adversary: "You hope to beat me. I tell you that you will never beat me."

		While Moriarty's death predated the Barton-Wright system by eight years, Japanese techniques were known at the time, and publication of EMPT in 1903 followed shortly after the first notice of "Bartitsu" in Pearson's magazine for March and April 1899, resulting in Watson's commission of an anachronism in authoring the tale.
