Ju-jitsu for ladies - the back arm lock
The back arm lock move in Ju-jitsu demonstrated. Apparently, in this position the shoulder and elbow may be broken without exercising any appreciable muscle pressure. Demonstration by Professor Uyenishi who had settled in Britain and thought, The English ladies make the best pupils. They are so enthusiastic and keen to learn...Women's movements and minds are always quick, and these qualities make them very apt pupils. Jujitsu does not over-tax the strength of the delicate lady, and it is the only system in the world which makes a weak woman more than a match for a strong and muscular man. For these reasons I am teaching the art to English ladies
