This edition of 1916 presents jiu jitsu, the effective Japanese mode of self-defence, as demonstrated by two native experts, K. Koyama and A. Minami. A frontispiece portrait shows Katsukuma Higashi.

The opening chapter describes the ancient origin of the art, its three branches, and the training it was said to demand: diet, deep breathing, the hardening of the hand, and above all an even temper, since many of its holds would break bones if carried to extremes.

The rest of the book is a sequence of 35 numbered photographs, each with its explanation, taking the student from the opening position of a bout through falls, arm locks, neck, wrist and ankle twists, arm and knee breakers and the somersault trick, to counters against the full Nelson, a rush and a blow at the face.

The experts illustrated only the holds they regarded as genuine and practical, leaving out those that, in their view, a clever opponent could easily block.
