No martial arts library is complete without this rare edition. In the late 1800s, West Point graduate and globe-trotting adventurer H. Irving Hancock visited the legend shrouded islands of Japan and studied Jiu-Jitsu.
His fascinating memoir details the training culture of those times, as well as the specific techniques he brought back to the United States and used to defeat ring fighters of his day.
You don’t know the history of Jiu-Jitsu until you’ve read this book.
