Excerpt from Jiu Jitsu: A Comprehensive and Copiously Illustrated Treatise on the Wonderful Japanese Method of Attack and Self-Defense

The Japanese method of personal attack and self-defense is known as Jiu-Jitsu. Literally, it means the gentle art - of making one's opponent use his strength to his own disadvantage.

The Japanese must be an economical people; for rather than see good force worse than wasted, they contrive to have it expended in such a manner as will do (them) the most good.

You know how, in the case of a certain class of rapid-fire guns, instead of trying to overcome that vicious habit of "kicking," a way was found to utilize that unpleasant recoil in discharging the empty shell and reloading.

Thus it is with those who practise Jiu-Jitsu. They do not meet force with force opposing the fierce rush of an enemy or trying to stop a heavy fist with some part of the body. This would be inartistic, possibly shocking. On the contrary, the gentle artist with his imperturbable smile, instead of trying to obstruct, politely helps his enemy along, to his own undoing.
