Your Last Chance 



To 

 Learn 



Jiu-Jitsu 



FREE 



If you do not already know that Jiu-jitsu is the 



most wonderful system of physical training and 



self-defense in the world to-day I invite you to 



write for my FREE LESSON and demonstrate 



this to your own satisfaction. But you must act 

 promptly as this offer will shortly be withdrawn. 



It is to the persistent practice of Jiu-jitsu that the Japanese 

 owe their courage and success in battle, their almost superhuman 

 strength and power of endurance, their low death rate and their 

 material progress. Surely a system of physical training which 

 has done so much for the Island Nation will interest YOU. 

 Jiu-jitsu not only embodies the ideal principles of attaining per- 

 fect health and perfect physical development, but as a means of 

 self-defense it is as potent at short range as the deadliest weapon. 

 A knowledge of its self-preserving principles renders a man or 

 woman impregnable to every form of vicious attack. 



Jealously Guarded Secrets Revealed 



I have just written an intensely interesting book which explains and makes clear the principles of Jiu-Jitsu, in a 

 manner which will never be approached by any American writer. So long as the edition lasts, this book, together with my 

 first lesson in Jiu-jitsu, will be sent free to interested persons. The lesson is fully illustrated and teaches one of the most 

 effective methods known for disposing of a dangerous antagonist. 



If you desire to learn all the closely guarded secrets of this marvelous science write me and you will receive the book and 

 specimen lesson by return mail, postage paid. Address,
