AMERICAN POLICE JIU-JITSU
by S.J. Jorgensen
Most aficionados of classic self-defense books are familiar with S. J. Jorgensen’s Thirty-Six Secret Knock-Out Blows without the Use of Fists, released in 1938. Few realize, however, that much of it came from Jorgensen’s earlier handbook, American Police Jiu-Jitsu. In fact, the original purpose of Thirty-Six Secret Knock-Out Blows appears to have been as a promotional brochure for American Police Jiu-Jitsu.
Jorgensen, an internationally famous jiu-jitsu instructor, developed the course contained in American Police Jiu-Jitsu to teach applied jiu-jitsu to police departments all over the world, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Royal Canadian Northwest Mounted Police, as well as to members of the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, Army and various National Guard units. Then, seeing the need for this information to be available to civilians, he published this book in 1930 and sold it to satisfied customers all over the world. Containing 150 photographs and 50 lessons in the practical application of jiu-jitsu, American Police Jiu-Jitsu demonstrates aggressive self-defense moves for disarming assailants armed with guns, knives and clubs.
Original copies of this classic volume are extremely hard to find and very expensive. This reprint provides an affordable addition to any self-defense reference library. 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, softcover, photos, 64 pp.
