Two classic martial arts texts in one new book
Combining two full classics of self defense techniques, you'll get a great value for your money and have expertly restored versions of these must-have reference works.

Skinner's, Jiu-Jitsu: The Wonderful Japanese Method of Attack and Self-Defense(1904) presents an important early manual of defensive ju-jitsu moves introduced to England at the turn-of-the-century. Showing effective methods of hold releases, arm locks, defense against blows, and throws, it gives a fantastic insight into early ju-jitsu techniques from that time period. Profusely illustrated, it makes each technique simple to understand. This edition also features over 8 additional pages of extra variations, and exercise tips suited to ju-jitsu practitioners from the Third edition.

And...the second part, Combat without Weapons, by Cpt. Leather of the Royal Canadian Artillery, is a fine example of WW2-era military combat hand-to-hand techniques. Written originally for the Home Guard, students of military combat will recognize some similar tips and techniques for 'dirty fighting' from British Commando training. A short, but very to the point guide to make sure that you come out on top in any close encounter with an enemy soldier...whether up against gun, knife or even bayonet, it shows methods for maximum effectiveness. 68 photos.
