    Default ww2 Dutch jiujitsu

    I have not posted on this forum for ages but I have not been idle. Maybe some of you recall one of my interests is the history of Dutch jiujitsu.

    This interest has resulted in my first publication in English on the subject.
    Hans van der Stok was a Dutch naval cadet who was an ardent practitioner of jiujitsu. Not long after the outbreak of WW2 he escaped occupied Holland and went to the United Kingdom. There he trained as a secret agent and went back to Holland to work undercover where he was eventually captured and executed.

    I have uncovered his jiujitsu photoalbum and after the publication in Dutch it is now available in English.

    Since blatant advertising is not allowed on E-budo I will not post a link but anyone interested can find it on amazon.com .

    Happy landings.
