JIU JITSU ITS

ANCIENT ORIGIN-THE JAPANESE SYSTEM OF SELF-DEFENSE DESCRIBED

JIu jitsu, the much-talked-of Japanese system of self-defense, has attracted so mucli attention throughout the English-speaking world that its acceptation in this country as a meritorious branch

of combative athletics causes not the slightest surprise among broad-minded people.

Like all innovations, especially foreign ones, jiu jitsu was at first disparaged by scores of people. Some of them still hold to their original opinions, but many have delved deep into the subject, with the result that they now admit the science contains much

of striking value.

Jiu jitsu is one of the oldest known branches of self-defense.

Authentic records of its existence before the Christian era are

now in possession of the Mikado of Japan. History relates that so far back as 200 years before Christ the supporters of the Japanese emperor of that time fought unarmed against hostile tribes and, aided by jiu jitsu, completely defeated them. The tribes in question carried the arms of the day, but this advantage availed

them nothing against the disconcerting and often deadly

tricks of

the jiu jitsu experts.

Since that early period the art has advanced considerably, although the principal tricks have been kept secret. There are some jiu jitsu manoeuvres that have never been explained to Europeans or Americans— and probably they never will be. Especially reticent are the "Japs" regarding the dozen or so of death-pro-

ducing grips and blows. Several of them have been described by them at various times, but others are only hinted at.

detail

in

Spalding' s Athletic Library.

These death blows are remarkable. Some are delivered on the on the neck and head, and two on the face. There are almost numberless manoeuvres that temporarily paralyze nerves and nerve-centers, and others that stop the circulation of the blood spine, others

in various part of the body.

A

large proportion of the tricks

and holds introduces the twisting of hands, arms, legs, ankles, and the neck, and many more depend for success on the obtaining of powerful leverage on arms and legs, and on various joints.

Thus it will readily be seen that jiu jitsu is different from boxing and wrestling, although many wrestling manoeuvres are used in it, either entirely or in part, or in combination.

Fer instance, all jiu jitsu experts use forms of the arm lock, the full Nelson, half Nelson, chancery holds, cross buttocks, arm and leg grapevines, waist holds, leg holds, and strangles.

There is absolutely nothing in common, however, between boxing and jiu jitsu. Boxing is not indulged in to any noticeable extent by "Japs." They prefer fencing and wrestling.

Still, jiu jitsu experts execute a trick that might well be cermed a

first

cousin to the boxer's solar plexus punch.

It consists

of a

blow in the solar plexus delivered with the fingers straightened and stiffened, the forefinger (or pointer) and the middle finger.

These fingers are projected violently into the solar plexus and twisted in a peculiar manner, completely paralyzing this nerve (The solar plexus is a center of various nerves of the center. so-called sympathetic system, which has largely to do with the organs of nutrition). The blow also produces breathlessness, and, in cases of poorly trained men, nausea.

Jiu jitsu comprises three different systems or branches and upward of 250 manoeuvres. One branch, the most familiar, calls for the use of the hands, another needs a piece of rope, and the other a club. However, only the first-named is considered in this book, for it is the one most frequently used.

"Jap" experts are, of course, proficient in all three branches.

Mr. Hancock, author of a book on jiu jitsu, is of the opinion that a skilled exponent of jiu jitsu would defeat a champion American boxer, using his own methods.

Every

he would imitate his Japanese teacher.

A gallon of pure water will be consumed during the twenty-four hours, and he will eat no meat. Rice comes first in importance as an element of diet. Next come vegetables, fish and fruit, meat being scarcely ever used.

Fresh air, naturally, is absolutely essential not only to jiu jitsu, but to good health and vigor in Japan, as elsewhere, and a special study is made of the influence of deep breathing upon the students.

But what will surprise most people is that something most needed beyond all these equanimity of temper is essential. The reason of this is that there are too many tricks, which are dangerous to life and limb, to be entrusted to a person whose passions might overpower his judgment. Several of the feats would Veak bones if carried to extremes.

standard Policy A

Standard Qyality must be inseparably linked to a Standard Policy.

Without a definite and Standard Mercantile Policy, it is impossible for a Manufacturer to long maintain a Standard Qyality.

To market his goods through the jobber, a manufacturer must provide a profit for the jobber as well as for the retail dealer. To meet these conditions of Dual Profits, the manufacturer is obliged to set a proportionately high list price on his goods to the consumer.

To enable the glib salesman, -when booking his orders, to figure out attractive profits to both the jobber and retailer, these high list prices are but their real purpose viill have been served v^^hen the absolutely essential manufacturer has secured his order from the jobber, and the jobber has secured his order from the retailer.

However, these deceptive high list prices are not fair to the consumer, who does not, and, in reality, is not ever expected to pay these fancy list prices.

When the season opens for the sale of such goods, with their misleading but alluring high list prices, the retailer begins to realize his responsibilities, and grapples with the situation as best he can, by offering "special discounts," ;

which vary with

local trade conditions.

Under this system of merchandising, the profits to both the manufacturer and the jobber are assured but as there is no stability maintained in the prices to the consumer, the keen competition amongst the local dealers invariably leads to a demoralized cutting of prices by which the profits of the retailer are ;

practically eliminated.

The jobber insists The manufacturer, in his turn, meets this lower, prices. lowering of prices by the only way open to him, viz.: the cheapening and degrading of the quality of his product.

The foregoing conditions became so intolerable that 7 years ago, in 1899, A. G. Spalding & Bros, determined to rectify this demoralization in the Athletic Goods Trade, and inaugurated what has since become knovym as " The Spalding This demoralization always reacts on the manufacturer.

on lower, and

demand

still

for the

1

Policy."

"The Spalding Policy" eliminates the jobber entirely, so far as Spalding are concerned, and the retail dealer secures the supply of Spalding Athletic Goods direct from the manufacturer by which the retail dealer is assured a fair and legitimate profit on all Spalding Athletic Goods, and the consumer is assured a Standard Qyality and is protected from imposition.

"The Spalding Policy" is decidedly for the interest and protection of the users of Athletic Goods, and acts in two ways Goods

:

First.— The user is assured of genuine Official Standard Athletic Goods.

Second.— As manufacturers, we can proceed with confidence in purchasing at the proper time, the very best raw materials required in the manufacture of our various goods, well ahead of their respective seasons, and this enables us to provide the necessary quantity and absolutely maintain the Spalding Standard of Qyality.

All retail dealers handling Spalding Athletic Goods are requested to supply consumers at our regular printed catalogue prices neither more nor less — the same prices that similar goods are sold for in our New York, Chicago and other stores.

All Spalding dealers, as well as users of Spalding Athletic Goods, are treated exactly alike, and no special rebates or discriminations are allowed to anyone.

This briefly, is "The Spalding Policy," which has already been in successful operation for the past 17 years, and will be indefinitely continued.

In other words, "The Spalding Policy" is a "square deal" for everybody.

standard Quality An article that is universally given the appellation "Standard" is thereby conceded to be the criterion, to which are compared all other things of a similar Standard unit nature. For instance, the Gold Dollar of the United States is the of pure gold of currency, because it must legally contain a specific pioportion and the fact of its being Genuine is guaranteed by the Government Stamp As a protection to the users of this currency against counterfeitmg and thereon.

Service other tricks, considerable money is expended in maintaining a Secret to a Bureau of Experts. Under the law, citizen manufacturers must depend against great extent upon Trade-Marks and similar devices to protect themselves "Pubhc counterfeit products— without the aid of "Government Detectives" or to assist them.

Consequently the "Consumer's Protection" against misrepresentation and

Opinion"

"inferior quality" rests entirely

upon the

integrity

and

responsibility of the

" Manufacturer." for A. G. Spalding & Bros. have, by their rigorous attention to "Quality." throughout the years, caused their Trade-Mark to become known U. S. world as a Guarantee of Qyality as dependable in their field as the Currency is in its field.

The necessity of upholding the Guarantee of the Spalding Trade-Mark and obvimaintaining the Standard Qyality of their Athletic Goods, is. therefore, as forty

ous as

is

the necessity of the

Government

in maintaining a

Standard Currency.

Thus each consumer is not only insuring himself but also protecting other consumers when he assists a Reliable Manufacturer in upholding his TradeMark and all that it stands for. Therefore, we urge all users of our Athletic Goods to assist us in maintaining the Spalding Standard of Excellence, by goods which insisting that our Trade-Mark be plainly stamped on all athletic maintaining they buy. because without this precaution our best efforts towards Standard Qyality and preventing fraudulent substitution will be ineffectual. being Manufacturers of Standard Articles invariably suffer the reputation of

makers of high-priced, and this sentiment is fostered and emphasized by " inferior goods." with whom low prices are the main consideration.

A manufacturer of recognized Standard Goods, with a reputation to uphold manufacand a guarantee to protect must necessarily have higher prices than a Standard Quality turer of cheap goods, whose idea of and basis of a claim for depends principally upon the eloquence of the salesman.

We know from experience that there is no quicksand more unstable than poverty in quality— and we avoid this quicksand by Standard Quality.
