Sherlock was very tough - an excellent boxer who used his
fists occasionally, bent a poker with his bare hands in one
story (sorry I don't have a copy to hand to say which, I
think it's The Solitary Cyclist and The Abbey Grange), and of
course wrestled with Moriaty before chucking him into the
Swiss abyss
(good name for a band that). He was a top shot too, and if I
remember right, an excellent single-sticks player, but I'm
not even sure what that game/sport/martial art is... Of
course Watson was a wounded war veteran and brought his own
tough to the party. Anyone who can survive a 19th Century
English public school would waltz through Guantanamo with
nary a whimper. Sherlock kicks posterior.
Blessings all,
Colin.
