Bartitsu: The Lost Martial Art of Sherlock Holmes (Trailer)

The following is the trailer for the documentary "Bartitsu: The Lost Martial Art of Sherlock Holmes"

Founded in London in 1899, Bartitsu was an early example of a mixed martial art, combining boxing, jiujitsu, savate and self defence with a walking stick. After a brief heyday, it was all but forgotten throughout the 20th century except for a single cryptic reference in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes story, "the Adventure of the Empty House".

Shot on location in Italy, Switzerland, England and the USA, "Bartitsu: the Lost Martial Art of Sherlock Holmes" is presented by Tony Wolf and features interviews with Dr. Emelyne Godfrey, Harry Cook, Graham Noble, Will Thomas, Mark Donnelly and Neal Stephenson.
