Judo. 41 Lessons in the Modern Science of Jiu-Jitsu. New Enlarged Edition

For exercise, self-defense, offense, or pure sport, Judo has no equal. It is probably the most fascinating and the most useful form of physical education in the world. Unlike many of our sports, Judo develops the whole body evenly and without strain - not just a portion of it. It probably has no equal in developing poise of body and mind. It substitutes skill for brute strength to such an extent that it is not at all unusual to see a one hundred andtwenty pound expert reduce a less accomplished adversary, weighing one hundred and eighty pounds or more, to a helpless und exasperated wreck, all with an astonishingly small amount of effort.
