"Indeed, I have read no book which deals with the subject of Ju-Jutsu more clearly or more simply. The detailed description of the various falls, throws and locks will enable the student to slip out of holds with the same skill in which he gets his opponent into difficulties - in fact, the whole art of Ju-Justu is splendidly presented" (Percy Bickerdike, British Ju-Jutsu Society).
