Sherlock Holmes was a skilled violinist and was learned in the Oriental defense art of baritsu, which is actually a fictional martial art but related to judo, I believe. He was interested in chemistry, and frequently dabbled with poisons and acids and anything he needed to fulfill experiments. According to Dr. Watson, he was an excellent singlestick player (one-handed Fencing stick), boxer, and swordsman. He also spoke French quite a lot in his sentences, so odds are he was able to speak it fluently. Then there is the obvious interest in crime and sensational happenings.
