The Text-Book of Ju-Jutsu - As Practised in Japan - Being a Treatise on the Japanese Method of Self Defence

It has been said that no one could learn Wrestling from a text-book. A great deal, of course, depends on how well that text-book is written, the experience of the author, and his ability to impart his knowledge of the art. I have read Mr. S. K. Uyenishi’s book with great pleasure, and I have no doubt that it will be of tremendous help, not only to beginners but to those who have been practising the art for many years. Indeed, I have read no book which deals with the subject of Ju-Jutsu more clearly or more simply. The detailed description of the various falls, throws and locks will enable the student quickly to slip out of holds with the same skill in which he gets his opponent into difficulties—in fact, the whole art of Ju-Jutsu is splendidly presented. I have no hesitation in commending Mr. Uyenishi’s book to everyone seriously interested in this ancient Japanese science. PERCY BICKERDIKE
