Sherlock Holmes

I am a Sherlock Holmes fan since I read the Sign of Four in elementary school.

I knew then that he used Judo or Jujutsu.

But I wondered how the consulting detective in the late 19th century England studied the Japanese art of self defense.

And I learned much later that Jujutsu had already been known in some circles in Europe by then.

I watched Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes films, and found them very entertaining.

In the films, Holmes does Sankaku Jime on Doctor Watson, and Kote Gaeshi on a villain.

Let's hope to see more Judo and Aikido actions in the next one.
