G. P. Putnam s Sons, New York, 1904,1st Ed., VG/NDJ ((Light Rubbing And Bumping, Some Handling Soiling To Boards, Small Owner's Inscription On Front Fly (Name Written Over Partially Erased Previous Owner's Name, 1927), Little Light Staining To Tops Of Front Fly And End Papers, Light Yellowing Of Pages, Otherwise Tight And Clean)), 151 pgs, small 8vo (little over 5" x 7 ½", 12.7cm x 19.1cm), Illustrated with Thirty-Two Photographs Taken from Life, H. Irving Hancock is also author of Physical Training for Women by Japanese Methods, Physical Culture Life, Life at West Point, etc., ""IT is but a few years ago that jiu-jitsu was unknown to the Western world. To-day the name is understood very generally, in English-speaking countries, to refer to that mysterious art of self-defence 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 to-day. PP A knowledge of the Japanese art reduces boxing from a science of defence 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. PP 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. PP 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 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. PP 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. PP 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 bodily training known to the world."", T00731.
