    About this ebook

    First published in 1920, this is book two of a seven-volume course on leaning jujitsu, comprising lessons 6-8 and a chapters on forming a self defence club. Jujutsu, also referred to as Jujitsu or Jiu-Jitsu, is a Japanese style of martial art and close combat that concentrates on defeating an armed opponent both with or without a short weapon. “Ju” means soft or flexible, while "Jutsu" means "art" or "technique" and refers to the use of your opponent's force against themselves. This volume contains useful illustrations and simple, clear instructions for the positions and manoeuvres treated, as well we chapters and explanations on general principles and keeping your body in shape. “The Secrets of Jujitsu” will appeal to those looking to begin their jujutsu path, and it is not to be missed by collectors of vintage literature of this ilk. Contents include: “Form a Self Defence Club”, “Lesson 6”, “Lesson 7”, and “Lesson 8”. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.

      Form A Self-Defense Club

      It does not matter what sort of a partner you first practice with. Keep a record of your progress by making a check mark against a trick each day you practice it. The first day a trick may take five or ten minutes, and after that only one or two minutes.

      Let your opponent try all the tricks on you, you will learn a great deal from this.

      Get at least one friend enthused to the point where he will procure a set of textbooks for his private study and will keep a record of his progress.

      After four such practices with one opponent, you should try to practice each trick with as many different opponents as you can get.

      Each man has a different style of physique and you have not mastered the course till you can do the tricks effectively on any style of opponent.

      Popularize this practice amongst your circle of friends to provide yourself with opponents. Some one of your friends may develop a better style of doing a certain trick
