Earliest jujutsu movie footage?
Jul 2nd
Posted by Kendall in Martial Arts
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.
