Nice mini-documentary on the history of Bartitsu, probably the first mixed Asian-European martial art (it was called "baritsu" in the Sherlock Holmes stories).
Kind of a sad story; the founder had high hopes for the art but it was swamped by the popularity of jujitsu and basically forgotten for almost 100 years. If it had succeeded, the JKD/MMA revolutions might have started in Edwardian London.
