About Jiu-Jitsu and Other Methods of Self-Defence 1951 Tenth Edition

<p>The 1951 is mostly unchanged except for illustrations showing attacker and defenders in 1951 clothes.<br></p><p>http://bartitsuclubofchicago.com/the-lifes-work-of-percy-longhurst/<br></p><p>Percy William Longhurst (1874-1959) was a lifelong wrestling and antagonistics enthusiast, a prolific writer and a significant figure in the history of Bartitsu.</p> <p>Unfortunately, comparatively little is known of Longhurst’s biography, especially his early life. &nbsp;As an adult he&nbsp;served the National Amateur Wrestling Association of Great Britain in various official capacities, including Treasurer, Secretary and President. &nbsp;In 1899 he&nbsp;won the English Light-Weight Wrestling Competition and, in the same year, became one of&nbsp;the very first European-style wrestlers to challenge E.W. Barton-Wright’s Japanese jiujitsuka. &nbsp;Losing both experimental matches, Longhurst became an enthusiastic proponent of Japanese unarmed combat for sport and, especially, as a means of self defence.</p> <p>Longhurst’s 1900 article,&nbsp;A Few Practical Hints On Self-Defence, and his subsequent references to having learned some jiujitsu from Barton-Wright himself, strongly suggest that he was at least a sometime-member of the Bartitsu Club in Shaftesbury Avenue. &nbsp;He also studied with both Yukio Tani and Sadakazu Uyenishi, but the chronology there is unclear.</p> <br> <p>Longhurst’s first&nbsp;major contribution to the self defence milieu was his seminal book&nbsp;Jiu-Jitsu and Other Methods of Self Defence, originally&nbsp;published in 1906 and in print, via at least ten subsequent editions, for many decades thereafter. &nbsp;This book is, for most practical purposes, the closest thing to a “Bartitsu manual” published in English, covering Longhurst’s idiosyncratic blend of various British regional wrestling styles with Japanese jiujitsu and also including some techniques of boxing and walking stick self defence. &nbsp;It remains a valuable resource towards the development of neo-Bartitsu styles.</p></br></br></br>
