SynopsisThe predecessor of judo, jujitsu was developed by the elite samurai class during Japan's feudal period. For centuries, this technique of unarmed self-defense proved so successful that it was largely kept secret and taught to only a select few. Based on the author's own training with the Japanese police department, this fully illustrated guide provides a practical reference.

  • End Confrontation Without Rolling Around On The Ground

    This book is AWESOME! This is REAL, combat relevant and proven jiujitsu (not sport wrestling or squabbling on the ground). Don't get me wrong, I have great respect for wrestling in general (including Brazilian jiu-jitsu and judo newaza). I even have the word "wrestler" TATTOOED on my neck (to remind me every time I look in the mirror of what it takes to excel in wrestling- the discipline, work ethic and continuous effort). But when I need to put down a problem, this real "ancient" jiujitsu is what I turn to. I was born and raised in the phillipines and this jiujitsu also helps to make my stick and knife work more effective!
