First English translation of a fully illustrated Japanese Police Martial Arts Manual containing arresting techniques taught to Japanese police in the late 19th century. First published in 1888.
This book contains twenty chapters on fighting, resuscitation and Hojo Japanese rope binding techniques from sixteen Ryuha, or schools of martial arts, along with a history of each school and its current head (as of 1888).
The techniques would be considered Jujutsu (Jiu-jitsu) today. Sure to be a helpful guide for anyone regularly dealing with vagabonds, miscreants, scoundrels or men and women of ill repute.The original Japanese book is reproduced with a full English translation beside it. First time in translation. Includes additional never before translated material by Kano Jigoro the founder of Judo.
