Historical Martial Arts Footage From France, China, Burma, USA, and Japan

I found some great martial arts clips from all over the world. The clips start from the 1890s and end in the 1930s. We have Kung Fu footage from China; Jujutsu, boxing, and Bartitsu footage from the USA; Savate (French Boxing) footage from France; Thaing (Buddhist MMA style) footage from Burma; Japanese Jujutsu and Japanese Swordmanship. It's amazing what filmmakers have captured in our world's martial arts journey and what we have yet to dig up! Leave your comments below and let us know what you think!
