Synopsis

The martial arts are among today's most exciting exercise regimes and are fast becoming the most popular way to get and keep fit. New Holland's Martial Arts series, aimed at both men and women, uses specially commissioned full-colour sequence photography and expert text to introduce the newcomer to the techniques. Jujitsu is a comprehensive book on what is considered the most complete self-defence system ever developed. Its chapters focus on the technical elements of the martial art from strikes, kicks, defences and footwork to joint locks and holds, throws, ground grappling, as well as defences against weapons. The techniques of Brazilian Jujitsu are also elaborated on. In addition, the fascinating history of these sports is covered and a small section is dedicated to Judo. Jujitsu is an invaluable and inspiring book for any beginner.
