“I’ve got to spend some time with Guy and I love his take on it,” Robert told the Sun. “We’re both martial arts enthusiasts and in the original stories of Sherlock Holmes, he’s kind of a bad-ass and a bare-knuckle boxer and studies the rare, fictional martial art of baritsu.”

“If you look baritsu up, they can’t even really tell you what it is, so it gives us a lot of leeway,” he said.
