A Jujutsu instruction manual for the Shinto Rikugo School, which was a blend of six different classical Jujutsu schools published in Japan in 1913. This school was set up to compete with the popular Kodokan Judo. Jujutsu 1913 was one of the earliest Japanese martial arts guides to use photographs to show how to do techniques. Jujutsu 1913 contains 200 black and white photographs and illustrations showing the proper way to set up various throws, sweeps, chokes and grappling techniques. The titles and descriptions have all been translated into English for the first time. An invaluable look into how Jujutsu was taught in the pre-war era. An excellent book for Jujutsu (Jiujitsu), Judo, BJJ or Japanese martial arts researchers or practitioners.

Hi, I've been living, studying and training in Japan for over 15 years. My goal is to share some of the cool, fascinating and mysterious teachings that can be found in Japanese martial arts manuals. For the most part these books have never been translated before. Thanks for your interest!

Excellent Translation of a Unique Manual

Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2021

Verified Purchase

Eric Shahan strikes again with the translation of a rare early 1900s jujutsu manual with detailed photographs. Japanese jujutsu is hard for many Westerners to approach. Judo subsumed so much, and much of it no longer teaches large portions of the older Kodokan curriculum. Much of the remaining jujutsu consists of Aikijutsu variations blended with karate.

This volume offers the original author's mash-up of six styles of jujutsu, with throws, locks, chokes, and ground applications. Mr. Shahan compiled various elements of what had served as a correspondence course. "Ware (you) and Teki (opponent)" stand in for "Tori and Uke."

The book clearly lays of grips, lifts, and positioning, proceeds through sweeps, reaps, wheel throws, hip-shoulder-body throws, chokes, neck cranks and ground fighting. Many of the throws and holds would be banned from modern competitions. There's even an interesting "crab choke," which could be accomplished after maneuvering or a slam, with the opponent ("teki") with his legs splayed backwards over his head while you ("ware") finish with a collar choke.

The book offers an interesting final "kenpo" section, which consists only of stick-figure renderings, a listing of basic strikes and striking points, and stances. However, there's not much here. That's a shame because the original atemi waza techniques are interesting and offer a high-percentage striking system to set up, and to counter, grappling techniques. These blows rarely employ the commitment or movement found in boxing because they're meant to support a grappling flow.

I look forward to Mr. Shahan's translation of an accompanying "dragon scroll," the explanatory companion volume to this work.

There's No School like the Old School

This book demonstrates pre-Gracie jiu jitsu. It's an amazing source of old school martial arts knowledge. This book has techniques that would be considered "forbidden" in today's martial arts. Apply this knowledge with proper care and safety above all.

A real historical gem

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 18, 2021

Verified Purchase

Excellent book , some judokas will see this book as being for historical purposes only but the techniques do work but several are now banned from modern judo competition for the simple reason that they are very dangerous for example neck wrenching techniques designed to make your opponent submit in competition but could cause serious injurys also chest crushing and windpipe compressing techniques all designed to make your opponent submit in competition , although these techniques can be used in street self defense it is deffinately not advisable to attempt to use them as could cause very serious even fatal injuries to your attacker , only to be used in properly & safely observed training setting with a qualified judo/jujitsu trainer presant , an excellent book for only £10, very glad I bought ...

Mala edición, pero es lo que es.

No esperes una buena edición, son prácticamente fotocopias del libro antiguo, pero es lo que es, y en verdad hay poco traducido, sólo son fotos antiguas, una por técnica. Si has hecho judo, las pillarás rápido.
