Fourth of a number of articles by Paul Purman, sporting editor of the N. e. A., to show how jlu Jltsu la taught by Instructor Woods of the V. M. C. A. to sailors at Great Lakes. By Paul Purman No worse advantage can be taken of a man than 4o catch him from behind with both arms locked around hts neck. It Is a choking grip and to all Intents and purposes leaves the man so attacked at-tacked powerless. J i u j i t hn has provided a de f en se for this which completely overcomes the Initial disadvantage. Kta-ure.l shows a man so attarked. apparently ap-parently at the merry of his opponent. The first movement, to get away from this hold Is to beml the body backward aa far as possible. This loosens the neck hold and an opportunity Is given to grip the wrists and break the hold. Thti. is shown tn figure 2. With both hands then grip the right arm and wrist of the st lacker (Pig. 3 and throw the right leg behind the right leg of the attacker, throwing the body forward at the same time. The result Is that the attacker Is thrown forward over the operator's right leg aa the operator grips the attitcknr'i right arm with his left hand and pushes the head back with his right hand under un-der the attacker's chin. |
