    My Method of Self Defense by MIKONOSUKE KAWAISHI

    Uploaded by

    cmonBULLSHIT
    MIKONOSUKE KAWAISHI — the “Father of French Judo”. Master Kawaishi was an 8th degree black belt in Kodokan judo. He not only brought the Japanese art as developed by Jigoro Kano to France, and founded the French Judo Federation; he also developed and taught a terrific and extremely deadly form of modernized ju-jutsu — close combat/self- defense. It was unlike the classical-traditional or esthetic ju-jutsu which is largely what is taught in the United States, Canada, and Europe today. Kawaishi’s system — which he describes and outlines in his classic, My Method Of Self-Defence (long out of print) — contains truly excellent material. From what this writer can tell from analyzing Kawaishi’s material he borrowed heavily from the knifework Wes Brown and Joe Begala described and illustrated in the U.S. Naval Institute’s classic Hand-To-Hand Combat (a 1943 wartime text for our military). Kawaishi discarded all groundgrappling completely, since his sole concern — insofar as self-defense was involved — was practicality and realism. - Bradley J. Stiener
