Baritsu is the name given to a form of martial art described by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in the Sherlock Holmes story "The Adventure of the Empty House", the first of ''The Return of Sherlock Holmes'', to explain how Holmes had managed to avoid falling into the Reichenbach Falls with Professor Moriarty as described in the story "The Final Problem", first published in ''Strand Magazine'' in December 1893. It is almost certainly a misspelling of the real martial art of bartitsu, which existed in Britain around the time Doyle's novels were written. ==History== By the 1890s, Conan Doyle had become weary of chronicling the adventures of Sherlock Holmes. He had ostensibly killed Holmes off in his 1893 story, "The Final Problem", in which Holmes apparently plunged to his death over a waterfall during a struggle with his archenemy, Professor Moriarty. However, such was the public clamour for the fictional detective’s return that Doyle capitulated and revived Holmes for another story, "The Adventure of the Empty House", in 1901. As Holmes himself explained his apparently miraculous survival: The term ''baritsu'' developed a life of its own during the later 20th century, and it was duly recorded that fictional heroes including Doc Savage and the Shadow had been initiated into its mysteries; those last two were established as knowing baritsu in a DC-published crossover that spilled over into ''The Shadow Strikes''. In the Soviet series ''The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson'', both Holmes and Moriarty are masters of baritsu. A dramatic battle between the two is shown.〔http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6AXub29Dpw〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「baritsu」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
