FJ Norman's The Fighting Man of Japan
By F.J. NORMAN
First printed in 1905
Introduction by Alex BENNETT
Softcover, 110 pp
Former British Army cavalryman F.J. Norman found himself in Japan in 1888, where he taught at the Naval academy in Etajima. Surprisingly open-minded for a man of his age, he threw himself into the study of ju-jutsu and kenjutsu, which along with sumo and Japanese military history, form the basis of this short volume.
It serves as a historical record opening an interesting window on an age when kendo and judo were still in their formative stages.
Price: $19.95
