Jiu Jitsu: Barnes Sports Library Book by Frederick Lowell (Hardcover) (Preowned)

The outstanding advantage of jiu-jitsu is that it enables an unarmed man to defend himself against someone who is physically stronger, and in many cases, against someone who carries weapons. The author describes, step-by-step, the fundamentals of the "gentle art." Emphasis is laid upon quick thinking, self -assurance and flexibility
as basic principles of successful jiu-jitsu. The book begins with body exercises which are helpful in achieving skill in jiu-jitsu tactics. The text is then divided into 61 lessons progressing from defensive tactics to offensive tactics. By use of 150 photographs the reader is able to follow the instructions clearly and accurately. The book is admirably
suited for use by civilian defense workers, police forces, state guards, and members of our armed forces.
