JIU JITSU.
By observing the following six rules any boy of twelve can
easily protect himself from the attacks of a full grown man;
1. As your opponent makes for you, step quickly under his
arm, and stooping, grasp his left ankle with both hands, fingers
interlocking. Rise smartly, and with a circular motion throw him
over your right shoulder.
2. Enraged, your adversary will reach for you with his right
hand. Step lightly aside, and as his arm passes you, strike it
sharply with your fist. This will break his wrist.
3. Your antagonist will now reach for you with his left hand.
Take two rapid steps backward and kick his open palm, at the base
of the thumb, upwards. This will dislocate his shoulder and cause
a compound fracture of his left floating rib.
4. Your mortified foe will attempt to kick you. Catch his
foot in your left hand and twist his leg off at the knee.
5. Your enemy will attempt to kick you with his other foot.
Step quickly behind him and butt him in the small of the back
with-your head. Properly administered, this blow should break
ant dislocate every vertebra in his spinal column,
6. The last attempt your adversary will make is to bite you.
As he opens his mouth place your open left hand on his forehead,
and thrusting your right hand down his throat, take a good hold,
and with a long, strong pull, turn him inside out. This trick is
somewhat dangerous and should only be tried by an expert, as
otherwise your opponent may be painfully injured.
