Борьба Баритсу
He knew that his own game was up, and was only anxious to revenge himself upon me. We tottered together upon the brink of the fall. I have some knowledge, however, of baritsu, or the Japanese system of wrestling, which has more than once been very useful to me. I slipped through his grip, and he with a horrible scream kicked madly for a few seconds, and clawed the air with both his hands.

Что касается баритсу, то такой стиль действительно существовал - в прошлом году на этом форуме Дмитрий и Alone давали на него ссылку (публикации в каком-то английском журнале начала 20-го века).

Думаю, что сэр Конан-Дойл имел ввиду "Bujiutsu". Так англичане пишут "Будзютсу".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baritsu
Doyle had, presumably, meant to refer to Bartitsu, which was an eclectic martial art that had been founded by Londoner E. W. Barton-Wright in 1899, i.e. several years after Holmes had supposedly used it (but a couple of years before Conan Doyle was writing).
It is uncertain why Holmes referred to baritsu, rather than Bartitsu. It is possible that Doyle, who, like Barton-Wright, was writing for Pearson’s Magazine during the late 1890s, was vaguely aware of Bartitsu and simply mis-remembered or misheard the term; it may even have been a typographical error or a concern about copyright. It should also be noted that a newspaper report on a Bartitsu demonstration in London, published in 1900, had likewise mis-spelled the name as baritsu.
In any case, "baritsu" was considered to be too esoteric by Doyle’s American editors, who further added to the confusion by substituting the word jiujitsu in the American editions of the story.
This confusion of names persisted through much of the 20th century, with Holmes enthusiasts puzzling over the identity of baritsu and mistakenly identifying it as bujutsu, sumo and judo. It was not until the 1990s that scholars including Y. Hirayama, J. Hall, Richard Bowen and James Webb were able to positively identify the martial art of Sherlock Holmes.
Doyle, Arthur Conan. The Adventure of the empty house
Я раньше считал, что А. К. Дойль просто придумал востокообразно звучащее слово "баритсу" (примерно как "голубой карбункул" aka гранат). А оказывается, Дойль мог быть и вполне недалек от истины. Кое-что нашлось на эту тему:http://www.koicombat.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=26156
