1932 Arts Bandits Deal Enable Expert Giving Lesson Liberated Martial Motorists Shoulder Throw Veal Jujitsu
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from September 1932, Japanese Jujitsu expert, Mr. G. Koizumi, is seen imparting valuable knowledge to a group of determined women. The setting is a liberated jujitsu class, where female motorists have gathered to learn essential self-defense skills to protect themselves against bandits on the open roads. Mr. Koizumi, an esteemed martial arts master, demonstrates the finesse of a jujitsu throw to one of his students. The young woman, focused and poised, executes a perfect "shoulder of veal throw," a technique that involves lifting and tossing an opponent over the shoulder. This powerful move requires strength, precision, and agility, making it an effective self-defense maneuver. The 1930s were an era of social change, and the growing number of women drivers on the roads necessitated the need for self-defense training. Jujitsu, with its emphasis on leverage and technique, became a popular choice for women seeking to protect themselves against potential threats. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the determination of these women to take charge of their safety and the dedication of Mr. Koizumi in empowering them through the ancient art of jujitsu. The image is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of women during an era of transformation, as they navigated the challenges of the modern world with courage and grace.
