Jiujitsu film footage from 1912

Very cool demonstration. I will now start practicing gongfu in proper gentleman's attire.

Cool old film. Jiujitsu is one of the, if not THE most complete martial art. It covers stand up fist fighting, locks and holds, throws, and it is designed for fighting from one to many individuals. It has the best ground fighting techniques out there, and it has lots of Dim Mak. Lots of killing techniques. It is a true combat fighting system.

Really cool footage! A true find.

Here's some footage from Britain from approximately 1937 showing jiu-jitsu self-defense. It can't even approach the 1912 footage, but it's kinda funny.

In the self-defense section you can almost hear the defender till the attacker, "yeah, you better run, punk ass *****" !!
LMAO !!

It is funny though how, in JJJ, strikes were always viewed as the "hidden" and "secret" teachings.
