Description

Explore the foundational principles of Ju Jitsu (Jujutsu) with this fascinating historical guide, which enjoyed popularity in the early 1900s when Japanese combat arts were first sweeping the West. Though often published anonymously or under the name of the vendor (like Johnson Smith and Co.), this compact manual delivers a concise and practical course on the methods that astonished Westerners.

The book is celebrated for vividly describing how the techniques of Ju Jitsu allowed the smaller Japanese to effectively "take care of" much larger, stronger opponents--a testament to the art's core philosophy of using leverage and an opponent's momentum against them.

This classic text focuses on "combat tricks" and practical maneuvers designed for real-world self-defense. Readers will find a mix of grappling and throwing techniques, bridging the gap between older forms of Jujutsu and the nascent techniques of modern Judo.

Highlights of the Content:

Practical Combat Tricks: Learn specific, effective maneuvers for personal encounter.
Leverage-Based Techniques: Instructions on how to utilize an opponent's own size and strength against them.
Historical Jiu-Jitsu: Includes classic techniques such as Juji Gatame (cross lock), Kani Basami (crab scissors throw), and various Wrist-Locks (like the "shake-hand trick").
Martial Arts History: A must-have for historians and practitioners interested in the early 20th-century dissemination of Japanese martial arts in Europe and America.

This is an essential piece of literature for anyone studying traditional Ju Jitsu, self-defense principles, or the intersection of martial arts and physical science.
