Kano Jujitsu
Many people know Kano created Judo, but few know of his contribution to Jujutsu. The roots of modern Jujutsu began at the end of the 19th Century when Kano Jigoro was given the task of taking the old, separate schools of Jujutsu, taking the best of what was, and creating a hand=to–hand combat school befitting the new, modernised Japan. This new art, Kano Jujutsu was adopted rapidly by schools and military, as well as progressing overseas, gaining practitioners and advocates such as Theodore Roosevelt. Kano Jujutsu still survives in martial arts schools, albeit in very few, and as hand–to–hand combat in many modern militaries.
The Complete Kano Jujutsu is a reprint of the classic text, demonstrating many techniques, as well as an introduction to Kuatsu (healing and first aid techniques).
This is not a book for beginners, as requires knowledge of techniques, but serves well to augment training. A must have for people want to delve deeper into martial arts.
