Some time in the 1920s Salmson Creak wrote this instructional manual which reads like a rambling love affair with the art of Jiu-Jitsu. I think that this is something many of us can relate to in this day and age, as we recall the recent golden age of Jiu-Jitsu in the various MMA formats, and the sense among all martial artists that this form of grappling was indeed the last word in fighting, a holy grail of hand-to-hand combat. But Creak is advising the reader to replace his other self defense preferences with jiu-jitsu for the very reasons we once heard offered for using more modern ...

Indeed, when the “first wave” of Jiu-Jitsu hit the West at the dawn of the 20th century, it featured all of those nasty old battlefield techniques the samurai were so fond of - bone crunching “finish him!” type moves which are perforce largely left to the side in modern scholastic Jiu-Jitsu circles. Indeed, you cannot cultivate the supreme sport of physical chess to its highest degree if everyone involved hobbles out of the dojo in a neck brace ...

Paret lay on the ground, quivering gently, a small froth on his mouth. The house doctor jumped into the ring. He knelt. He pried Paret's eyelid open. He looked at the eyeball staring out. He let the lid snap shut. He reached into his satchel, took out a needle, jabbed Paret with a stimulant. Paret's back rose in a high arch. He writhed in real agony. They were calling him back from death. One wanted to cry out, "Leave the man alone. Let him die."
