This photograph, taken on September 8, 1932, showcases an extraordinary jujitsu class led by the esteemed Japanese expert, Mr. G. Koizumi. The setting is unique: a group of determined female motorists, dressed in fashionable yet practical attire, gathered to learn the ancient art of jujitsu. The objective? To equip themselves with the essential skills to effectively deal with bandits and ensure their safety on the open roads. Mr. Koizumi, a revered master of the martial art, stands proudly in the center, demonstrating a technique to his students. His attentive pupils follow his instructions, their faces focused and determined. The atmosphere is charged with a sense of camaraderie and purpose. The scene is a testament to the liberating power of jujitsu and the resilience of women during an era when they faced numerous challenges on the roads.

The jujitsu class of 1932 serves as a reminder of the enduring spirit of self-defense and empowerment. The women in this photograph are not mere spectators; they are active participants in their own safety and security, paving the way for future generations to embrace the martial arts and the strength that comes with it. This photograph, with its rich historical significance, is a testament to the transformative power of jujitsu and the indomitable spirit of women. It is a snapshot of a bygone era, yet its message remains as relevant today as it was in 1932.
