  Ju-jitsu originated on the battlefields of ancient Japan, and is the system from which the present-day martial arts of judo, karate and aikido have developed. It is an ideal combination of self-defence skills and fitness training. The book traces the history of this martial art before discussing a huge repertoire of techniques designed for every level of ability, from basic to advanced. With the aid of over 200 photographs and illustrations the author explains the use and application for self-defence of blocks, punches, kicks, locks, strangles as well as lesser-known moves. Eddie Ferrie is also the author of Taekwondo .
