Sunday With Blackthorn - Old School Ju-Jitsu WW 1 Era Style



AC Costorphin Smith learned Ju Jitsu in Japan, and when WW1 started he became one of the first Military Combatives instructors. This book contains Ju Jitsu the way it was prior to Japans loss in WW2. This is not a book on ground grappling. It contains strikes, chokes, neck breaks, throws, etc, that all but disappeared after the war.

This link will take you t a brief biography of AC Smith.
