Jiu-Jitsu M P Lynch

A. Buvat's 1909 manual on jiu-jitsu reminds us that this martial art distinguishes itself from all others through its fundamental efficacy in real combat. Whether it is being practiced by samurai, turn-of-the-century Frenchmen in bowler hats, or MMA fighters of the present day, this art survives in a relatively unchanged form because the core principles of leverage and economy of force upon which it is built are eternal. Whether you know nothing of the art or you know it well and love its history, there is something in A. Buvat's manual for you. For entertainment purposes only.
