Jiu-Jitsu Combat Tricks: Japanese Feats of Attack and Defence in Personal Encounter (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Jiu-Jitsu Combat Tricks: Japanese Feats of Attack and Defence in Personal EncounterWithout 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 jzuy'z'tsz'an are disabled for a period longer than a few mo ments following defeat. The lacerations and contusions that follow fisticufis are unknown in Japan, where to disfigure an opponent would be considered a disgrace to the victor. 7z'u film, while stern work, is the essence of polite ness; it is aimed to show a bully the folly of fighting.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
