Found this old Jiu-jitsu book that dates back to 1904 on Google books. It’s called Jiu-Jitsu: A Comprehensive and Copiously Illustrated Treatise. That’s a mouthful. An interesting perusal, I must say. Interesting indeed. *Tweaks moustache*

But wait, there’s more! Here’s an article in a 1930 issue of Popular Mechanics on Jiu-jitsu. Here’s an illustration from the magazine. Never seen that move before, but if it involves cupping the balls, I’m not interested.

Here are a few other interesting JJ-related finds:
Outing Magazine – 1906
Jiu-Jitsu Combat Tricks – 1904
The Black Cat – 1904 (You don’t need a gun if you know Jiu-Jitsu!)

Commemorate the legendary Grand Master Helio Gracie with 18″ x 24″ of old school awesome. Frame one up for your gym, bedroom, office, or man-cave wall.
