Baritsu style is dead?

[superam220]

its not baritsu or the proper name batitsu this if wing chun a form of kung fu bartitsu its a combination of "boxing, savate, judo, jujitsu, and la canne(stick fighting) although there was a law at the time that was active on the sea that you could not hit someone with a closed fist so sailors started hitting with the open fist or slaps so its not bad for the time

@GregLilOluchi I realise it's one of the thing makes more tedious movie.

I really wanna learn this style of fighting.

the slapping is so that he doesnt break his fists, if you watch early mma where it was literally no gloves no rules, a lot of the successful strikes used open hand strikes, the rest of the punches are wingchun style where the first is vertical instead of horizontal, this helps with the alignment of the bones and muscles to reduce hand injury

The fight between Sherlock and Moriarty in Game of Shadows is brilliant, how they both plan it in their heads first and then decide whether to do it or not lol

Slapping featured heavily in early forms of savate and self defence systems trained by sailors and other of the time. This is because the fist was considered a dangerous weapon and the legal consequences of a fight could be much worse! (source: an article on Savate I read somewhere!). Baritsu or Bartitsu integrated savate and Japanese Jujuitsu techniques as well as other fighting styles in to a cross training method of self defence, 70 years before Jeet June Do

What's with the slapping Holmes is doing? Anyone familiar with Bartitsu or the like?
