It is sought to divert a boxersstrength, speed, and momentum §o that he will employ them for his own defeat. Once the ideais grasped, this is such a simple thing to do thatthe jiu-jitsu defense seems almost elemental. Never once does the boxers blow land. Itsdirection is always diverted ; the seizure of anassailants wrist or arm is not made until theboxers fist has all but landed. Often the box-ers momentum has been so great that when itsdirection is diverted he is easily sent off his bal-ance. It is admitted, even among Americanboxers, that a defensive move can be made more. When assailant leads with left, his wrist is caught by Hi-gashis left hand, and in the swift body-swing that fol-lows, Higashis right hand lands in a grip on assailantsleft shoulder, and Higashis right knee is pressing theback of assailants left arm. (The arm may be broken inan instant with this feat.) rapidly than an assaulting one. With this ini-tial advantage on his side, and with his wonder-ful art at command, the jiu-jitsian finds it childs-play to defeat the boxer signally and is not always possible to stop a clever andhard-hitting boxer without knocking him out,—killing him, the Japanese say,—yet it is mucheasier to defeat the boxer with jiu-jitsu than itis to overcome the clever wrestler. But theexponent of either boxing or wrestling meetswith speedy defeat at the hands of his Japaneseopponent. WHAT THE PEOPLE READ IX SCAXDIXAVL-\.
