'I believe that Profesor Nakae is one of the few experts on Jiu-Jitsu in this country. He has worked our a method of insturction which is coherent and pracatical in its every detail.'--Norman Mailer
The above are but two of the many testimonials which have poured in upon notice that this
I have known and admired Profesor Kiyose Nakae for many years. He is considered the foremost instruction of authentic Jiu Jitsu in the western world. His students come from all over the world to New York City.
Professor Nakae has spent most of his life teaching Jiu Jitsu to Americans. When he first arrived in this county some fifty years ago he was hired to teach his skills to police departments in all parts of the land.
It is one thing to teach Jiu Jitsu in private lessons. It is quite another to teach it with a book. Only because of Nakae's deep understanding of his science and his unequalled teacahing ability has such a book become possible.
Books on the self-defense arts usually illustrated with cartoons or photographs. Professor Nakae and Charles Yeager examined these and concluded they were of little value when it came to practical learning.
A new method of showing the tricks had to be devised. Hundereds of photographs were taken of two men in action. A skilled artist then made line drawings from the photographs. I believe the result has more than justified the time, effort and expense that was invested to make such a perfect visual presentation.
My feelings were confirmed when the manuscript of this book was submitted to B. Vedel of Chicago whio is probably the authority on books about Jiu Jitsu and Judo.
'The line drawings are a brilliant idea!k' was the comment. 'This is the best thing I have ever seen on the subject, and as you know, I regard books on the subject with a very jaundiced eye. This one is almost as good as actually working in class!'
There has never been a book like this one. An perhaps there has never been a time when this book was so badly needed.
