This vintage book contains a simple, beginner-friendly guide to Jiu-Jitsu. Jiu-Jitsu, also referred to as Jujitsu, is a Japanese style of martial art and close combat that concentrates on defeating an armed opponent both with or without a short weapon. Ju means soft or flexible, while Jutsu means art or technique and refers to the use of your opponent's force against themselves. This volume contains useful illustrations and simple, clear instructions for the positions and manoeuvres treated, as well we chapters and explanations on general principles and keeping your body in shape. This introductory guide will appeal to those looking to begin their jiu-jitsu path, and it is not to be missed by collectors of vintage literature of this ilk. Contents include: Preliminary Training , How to Strengthen the Hands for Attack, and How to Toughen the Vulnerable Parts for Defence , Practice must be Constant until Performance of the Tricks Becomes Second New Trick to Friends , Coolness Absolutely Necessary to Success , Nature , Don't be in a Hurry to Show Off a New Trick to Friends , Ordinary Throat-Hold , Jiu-jitsu Throat-Hold , Other Methods of Seizing by the Throat , etc. Harrie Irving Hancock (1868 - 1922) was an American writer and chemist most famous for being an author of children's literature during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Other notable works by this author include: His One Ambition (1892), Captain of the Minute Men (1890), and The Prince of Grit (1899). Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
