Jiu-Jitsu Combat Tricks
Japanese Feats of Attack and Defense in Personal Encounter
This e-book is an unabridged reproduction of the work originally published by H. Irving Hancock in 1904.
It is a great primer on the basics of martial arts, self defense, or jiu-jitsu – whatever you would like to call it.
As you will read below, this book was practically one of the first American books written which detailed and taught the moves of the proficient and expert Japanese jiu-jitsu. The author quite often compares jiu-jitsu to boxing and points out that boxing is no match to jiu-jitsu.
While it teaches many moves of self-defense and attack, the author repeatedly advises that ‘practice makes perfect’. A cursory reading of the book will not make one an expert in these moves. Only time and practice will.
The original hard copy version of this books sells for $60 or more and a lot of time the price is over $100. You can have this e-book for $5.95 and have it soon after PayPal purchase.
The best way to learn about this e-book is to read the Introduction, the Table of Contents and the List of Illustrations, which are shown below. These will explain to you the various topics and moves that are taught.
INTRODUCTION
It is but a few years ago that jiu-jitsu was unknown to the Western world. Today the name is understood very generally, in English speaking countries, to refer to that mysterious art of self-defense by which the Japanese prove antagonists whom it is impossible to defeat in physical encounter. To some extent, too, a little knowledge of this strange art has come to us. Within the next few years it is to be expected that jiu-jitsu will be as well understood by us as boxing is today.
A knowledge of the Japanese art reduces boxing from a science of defense to the status of an excellent exercise. The well-trained jiu-jitsian is able to meet and to defeat the fistic expert at all points. In this volume much attention has been paid to the methods by which the Japanese overcomes the exponent of ring work.
In scope the feats described in this volume comprise all that is essential in jiu-jitsu for purposes of personal encounter. Much that would be of interest only under Japanese conditions of life has been omitted. The tricks selected for analysis in this volume are those that are of the most value to the man of Anglo- Saxon heritage in matters of fighting.
Without-doubt it will be urged that some of the Japanese feats explained in the following pages are, in the language of the ring, "foul." But fighting is an ugly business from the nature of things, and the Japanese contend that any means that brings victory is justifiable. It may be added that few men defeated by a jiu-jitsian are disabled for a period longer than a few moments following defeat. The lacerations and contusions that follow fisticuffs are unknown in Japan, where to disfigure an opponent would be considered a disgrace to the victor. Jiu-jitsu, while stern work, is the essence of politeness; it is aimed to show a bully the folly of fighting.
The greatest charm of all about jiu-jitsu is that it does not call for the employment of great strength. The weaker man, if skilled, is able to vanquish his stronger but unversed opponent. The art has a history of more than twenty-five centuries, and, during its long course of evolution, jiu-jitsu has been perfected as the art of the smaller, weaker man.
Daily practice in this novel physical work makes rapidly for agility of body and of mind, and for great physical endurance. The Japanese soldier, sailor, and policeman take a compulsory government course in jiu-jitsu. The physical performances of the Japanese in their war with Russia should be sufficient to establish even seemingly extravagant claims for the value of jiu-jitsu as the best system of body training known to the world.
