Publisher's Synopsis
W.H. Collingridge was one of the original students of Yukio Tani and Taro Miyake (The Game of Ju-Jitsu) of the Japanese School of Jiu-Jitsu. Originally published in 1910, "Tricks of Self-Defense" is an accomplished work by a great Judoka of the time. In simple, precise, and declarative descriptions, the key elements of Ju-Jitsu are explained as well as the many applications strictly dealing with self-defence scenarios. The book contains 31 stand-up techniques, or tricks, and 9 ground defenses. The majority of the methods are either locks or takedowns. Each single technique is described with a picture and accompanied by text.
