PREFACETHIS BOOK was not written with any intention of pre-senting a complete textbook on Judo or Jiu-Jitsu. Toproduce such a volume would require too much of the remain-ing lifetime of its authors. It would be so voluminous that thecost of publication would be prohibitive and would leave ourpublishers without profit. Finally, about 95 per cent of itwould be incomprehensible to, and impractical for, about 99per cent of its possible readers.The reason for this somewhat gloomy outlook is that in the ad-vanced practice of Judo, progress can be made only under theconstant supervision of a competent instructor, and then onlyafter the student has been long and patiently drilled in thefundamentals of the art. For instance, there is one movementwhich is said to take from five to seven years to perfect. In J a-pan they say that before you have earned your First DegreeBlack Belt you must have taken ten thousand falls; and thenthere are nine more degrees of the Black Belt to be attained be-fore you reach the top. At the present time there are only twomen who hold the tenth degree. Also, the further you advancein the practice of Judo the stricter become the physical require-ments.For this book we have selected only those movements which canbe mastered by the average man, woman, or child-movementswhich can be accomplished with but a small expenditure ofstrength and without previous training or experience. Finally,let us impress upon you strongly that these movements cannotbe mastered without practice, more practice, and still morepractice, any more than you can become proficient in tennis,swimming, golf, boxing, or any other sport without constant

PREFACE

study and practice. The student should begin at the beginningand not attempt more than one or two movements at a time.They should be practiced again and again until they can bedone smoothly and effectively. It may take a page to describea movement, but its accomplishment should rarely take morethan one second.For exercise, self-defense, offense, or pure sport, J"udo has noequal. It is probably the most fascinating and the most usefulform of physical education in the world. Unlike many of oursports, Judo develops the whole body evenly and withoutstrain-not just a portion of it. It probably has no equal indeveloping poise of body and mind. It substitutes skill forbrute strength to such an extent that it is not at all unusual tosee a one hundred and twenty pound expert reduce a less ac-complished adversary, weighing one hundred and eightypounds or more, to a helpless and exasperated wreck, all withan astonishingly small amount of effort.Finally, J"udo is suitable for all ages and both sexes, from sixto sixty. Doctor Kano actively practiced Judo until his deathat the age of seventy-eight, and some of its most ardent de-votees are none other than the ladies.

NOTE ON THE ENLARGED EDITION

On pages 120 to 145 are given additional movements and infor-mation, some of which will be of particular use to men in thearmed forces. These movements are intended both for recre-3tion atld for use in actual hand-to-hand combat.T. S. K.A.R.W.

PUBLISHERS' FOREWORDSEVERAL YEARS AGO two inebriated young toughsstopped an inoffensive pedestrian on one of Chicago's backstreets and demanded a match. The passerby, a well-knitJapanese, politely advised them that he didn't have a match.

The young toughs became abusive and started to give theJapanese what is known in street slang as the "bum's rush." Inthe twinkling of an eye one of the bullies was sailing over thefence into somebody's front yard, with a broken arm. Theother followed a second later, his arm badly sprained.

The gentleman they had chosen to attack was Professor T.Shozo Kuwashima, at that time representing Kodokwan inChicago as official instructor in Jiu-Jitsu.Ordinarily a model of courtesy, Kuwashima can, if hechooses, toss around a man twice his size and strength. Hi';

assortment of tricks is so baffling and speedy that even the hestexponents of the art ot' self-defense fight shy of engaging withthe noted Judo instructor.T. Sheno Kuwashima was born forty-five years ago in the

province of Kagawa, Japan. "Thile at the Tokio AgriculturalCollege he specialized in Judo, won his Black Belt, becamecaptain of the team, and was made an instructor in the art.After graduation he taught Judo in a normal school and for atime instructed the Tokio police force.

In 1916 he came to the United States as an accredited repre-sentative to teach Judo, and to confer the varying degrees ofBrown Belt and Black Belt, the belts representing the degreeof skill attained by the student. Settling in San Francisco, he

PUBLISHERS' FOREWORD

taught Judo at the Japanese Buddha Young Men's Associa-tion and at the Japanese Y. M. C. A., instructed army officersin one of the training camps in California, and acted as instruc-tor at a Japanese club in Stockton, California.During the past few years, Professor Kuwashima has livedin New York. He gives private instruction in Radio City, andhas classes in Newark and Maplewood, N. J. Holder of theFifth Degree Black Belt, he is regarded as one of the foremostexponents of Judo in the country.

Ashbel R. Welch, aNew York insurance broker, first be-came interested in Judo several years ago, and has since becomea practical expert in the art.

It is with a great deal of pleasure that the publishers offer thefirst book on the modern form of Jiu-Jitsu, JUDO, by Profes-sor T. Shozo Kuwashima and Ashbel R. Welch. The readerwill find Judo not only an effective system of self-defense, buta healthy form of exercise and an enjoyable sport. It has be-come popular wherever it has been introduced.

The authors and publishers wish to express their gratitudeto Mr. Paul Hesse for permission to use the many photographsin this book in which he demonstrates good Judo form as a con-testant. THE PUBLISHERS.

HISTORYJ UDO (JIU-JITSU) has been practiced by the royal fam-ilies of Japan for over two thousand years. In feudaltimes there were many military exercises, such as fencing, arch-ery, the use of spears, and so on. Among them was one calledJiu-Jitsu which consisted principally of ways of fighting with-out weapons, or fighting against weapons without weapons.Each clan had its own method, differing in some respect fromeach of the others. There were almost as many methods as therewere clans.About sixty years before his death in 1938, Dr. Jigoro Kanobecame interested in the practice of Jiu-Jitsu and studied withthree eminent masters of the time. In 1882 he founded aschool of his own and called it Kodokwan. Kodokwan literallymeans a "school for studying the way." He used the knowledgehe had gained to consolidate the best points of all the old clanexercises in Jiu-Jitsu into one exact science, to which he gavethe name of Judo.In the course of his studies in Jiu-Jitsu, Dr. Kano finallyevolved the following underlying principle: "Whatever be theobject, the best way of attaining it shall be the maximum or thehighest efficient use of mental and physical energy directed tothat purpose or aim."Having discovered this principle, Dr. Kano soon perceivedthat it applied not only to the practice of Jiu-Jitsu but to theentire philosophy of life itself. The result has been that Judo,which started out as a method of attack and defense, has nowbroadened out into a national sport and a national philosophyof life, having for its object health, strength, utility, and spirit-

HISTORY

ual and mental training, with moral and aesthetic phases.Judo is now taught in several branches. The methods of attackand defense are called "Kata." The division devoted to sportis "Randori." The section devoted to reviving an injured per-son is known as "Katsu."Students of Judo are classified at all times according to theprogress they have made. The beginner wears the White Belt.When he has completed certain prescribed courses he is givenan examination. If successful in passing it, he is given theBrown Belt. There are three degrees of the Brown Belt to beattained before the student can win the coveted Black Belt ofthe First Degree. After that there are nine more degrees ofthe Black Belt until the Tenth Degree is reached, which atpresent is held by only two men.Judo is now a required course in all Japanese high schools andis taught in all Japanese police departments.
