<p>Newcastle's Collingridge was a well-known and respected Ju-Jitsuka of the early 1900s. His manual 'Tricks of Self Defence' deploys all that he learned from Sensei Tani. </p><p>As a coach himself to the Admiralty and a manager of visiting Japanese Ju-Jitsuka who travelled the shows of the UK taking on all comers in wrestling bouts, Collingridge knows his craft well. </p><p>This self-defence oriented guide showcases techniques to escape or counter typically assaults one may find on the street such as lapel grabs and headlocks.</p><p>All detailed in simple easy to follow text and clear imagery that uses the clothes of time instead of the Keiko-Gi famous in Judo and Ju Jitsu. </p><p>This guide is a prime example of the burgeoning 'British school of Ju-Jitsu' which increasingly took on its own style and flavour to suit Western physicality and clothing. A fantastic read for fans of Edwardian antagonistics and arts like Bartitsu. </p>
