Jujitsu by George Kirby

Expanding upon its early version, this is the definitive reference for jujitsu practitioners and instructors around the world. Additional techniques and theoretical concepts are included, as well as updates to testing and belt rank requirements, nerve and pressure point body charts, and historical commentary. Showcasing the traditional style and featuring detailed pictures of technical sequences, this is an authoritative look at the gentle Japanese martial art.
George Kirby has been a serious student, teacher, and proponent of jujutsu since his introduction to the art in the early 1960s. He was awarded the 1981 AAU Jujitsu National Sports Award, a certificate of honor from the Federation of Practicing Ju-Jutsuans, and was voted Outstanding Instructor in both 1971 and 1974 by the California Branch Ju-jitsu Federation.
