Bartitsu Society – Earliest Jujutsu Motion Picture Footage

In an earlier post I mentioned movie footage of jujutsu moves from a Bartitsu instructor, perhaps some of the earliest motion picture footage of jujutsu in the world.

Tony Wolf of the Bartitsu Society has created a very nice video of several of Sadakazu Uyenishi’s jujutsu moves from the book Textbook of Ju-jutsu, showing movie footage from actual techniques.

Earliest Jujutsu Movie Footage?

By Kendall, on July 2nd, 2009

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.
