Jigoro Kano lecture on jiujitsu, 1888

[Tony Wolf]

The Bartitsu Society has unearthed a copy of "Jiujitsu: the Old Samurai Art of Fighting Without Weapons" by the Reverend T. Lindsay and Jigoro Kano, originally the text of a lecture delivered on April 18th, 1888.

The text is 17 pages long and includes a history of jiujitsu, overviews of some of the prominent schools and teachers of the time (Yoshinryu, Kito-Ryu, etc.), some technical commentary and a selection of "jiujitsu stories".

The PDF is too large to uload here as an attachment but it's available as "Kano PDF" in the Files section of the Bartitsu Forum email list - http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/Bartitsu_Forum/files/ . You'll need an account with YahooGroups to access the file.

Cheers,

Tony

Thank you Wolf sensei. I'd love to access the .PDF but I don't have a membership with the Bartitsu forum. Is there any special requirements to become listed as a member? Sorry for this newbie question, I am infamous for my low IQ :)

No special requirements, just sign up a YahooGroups account (if you don't already have one) via http://groups.yahoo.com/ and then apply to join the Bartitsu Forum. The application is just a formality to dissaude spammers. Once membership is granted you have full access to the Forum archives, files and photos sections and so-on.

My best,

Tony
