Earliest jujutsu movie footage?

Tony Wolf just posted about an animated gif someone made of Sadakazu Uyenishi, who taught jujutsu in E. Barton-Wright's Bartitsu Club in London around 1900.

The clip shows the seoi-nage shoulder throw technique, and may represent the earliest motion picture footage of jujutsu and Bartitsu, a martial art I wrote about earlier.

I think it is neat that Bartitsu is the art that captures that honor.
