Rare Jujitsu Footage from the early 1900's 20's - 30's?

[mikey4u1984]

Sara Meyer, This is Judo.

[willscomix]

A WOMAN can defend herself? A WOMAN?

Also, I like how this is related to unreleased Tuss songs

[greenrate]

I've always said grandmama must have been a real live one as a young woman . . .

[bdfunke]

In today's Britain, she'd be arrested for defending herself.

[gtakilla92]

FAIL at 0:36 :)

[Soulthinker2007]

It is the 30's because of the hairstyle and it is about five or four years before WWII.

[mhogjones]

the human body moves in predictable patterns; all cultures developed some form of martial arts with different emphasis/priorities...

[Unjesue]

Roaring 20's indeed...did you hear the thud that guy makes when she drops him? Props to you *bows* and thanks for posting :)

[Hightower187]

Whoooo what a woman!!

[susannahmcdnld]

That'll sort out the dirty rotten scoundrels! (1940s hair and dress - definitely not 1960s)

[oldschoolm8]

Early 1900's? 20's or 30's?! Umm more like 50's or 60's. 

[pscassidy]

These guys are clearly falling for her :D

[rimidalvetarak]

Brits are great!!!!!

[Holik818]

That girl kicks ass

[chchjudoschool]

Sara Mayer

[chchjudoschool]

Sara meyer

1st female judo European black belt demonstrates Kano jujitsu

[MaharlikaAWA]

That was funny how he says "Now what would you do if I grab you around the throat like this." and then she locks him up and throws him and says "Id do that." and then he CASUALLY SAYS "Hm that's very interesting." like a typical brit.

[chanctonbury63]

Mr Cholmondeley Warner does martial arts too.

[chanctonbury63]

A shit kicking woman from the forties. Excellent!

[ThisReallySuckz]

this video is tight

[aedojudo]

Demostraciones en la época en que el Judo se difundía en Europa.

[kevinchris]

Alot of these techniques are still used in modern BJJ!!

Awesome!

[Killahbeez79]

That was no tickle!

[kf4ydh]

The lady on the video is Sara Mayer...the first non-Japanese female to be awarded a black belt in JUDO....not jujitsu.

[TryToFight1]

@kf4ydh The techniques showed are Ju Jitsu technique... Judo was kano ryu ju jitsu... judo wasn,t focused on self protection... This is pure old ju jitsu..., sure, if you know how to see it!

[TheDoomgul]

ha ha just throwing that fucker down

[sistermoon108]

this is so perfectly Brit - and the humor, expecially at the end is quite chamring.

I just wish she had finsihed them both off - on elittle throw isn't enough, you know a little muy thai blasts, break a couplle fo ribs, arms, legs, etc. she was too compassionate.

[Fangsinurface]

U go girl.

[mawilson374]

Judo and aikido came after jujitsu. They are in fact largely derivative

[bitchazzmothafuckaz]

Niggaz is crazy...and by "niggaz" I mean these white ass honkeys.

[gman92052000]

bro this is either judo or aikido but is not really jiujitsu, some of these techniques are taught in jiujitsu but they're originally all from aikido/judo, mostly aikido

[doubleuslashe]

this is from around 1937

[hcmontessori]

... and in a dress & heels no less!

[newtubetubetube]

Awesome! ★★★★★

[tangleclot]

that girl kicks ass!

[xXxstunner]

have u ever went to a martial artist gym?, well there are girls like these on these days u know

[PookyBear84010]

Based on the clothing styles and sound quality, I'd say this film was the late 30's or early 40's. They certainly weren't talking pictures until the late 20's, anyway.

[kahetel13]

very rare and nice video ... chick is hot as hell too lol

[fugetao]

Brilliant!

"now what's going on here?"

"well this man tried to snatch my bag"

[Lorrat]

omg . epic

[stonerodger]

Brilliant xD

[5batspriwo]

lol: he steps on the guys balls and simply says: "pardon me" LMFAO!!!

[BORICUENSIS]

i think I am in love!!! what a girlllllllllllll

[JollyRodders]

It's funny but you never hear about women getting mugged and so on back in the 1920s, 30s, or 40s...But they must have felt the need to make a film about self defence. My old grand father who lived in Hanworth, West London kept a club under his bed back in the 1930s. So they must have had concerns about intruders and being burgled back then too.

[themonger42]

that look FUN AS HELL

[dougerber]

punch that bitch in the eggs son!

[MashMasterMushroom]

@dougerber hahaha

[sheppytim]

the men don't put up much of a fight... they go limp at the right moment... like today's pro wrestling

[memikell]

1930's or 40's (no sound before 1929)

[KirkhamsEbooks]

That is an amazing find. If it weren't for the internet these types of films would be lost forever

[natkav64]

Hilarious! I love it!

[gahen21]

All 3 of them are dead! Too badIi would like to bang the chick!

[TheKaamos123]

Look how immasculated the guy in the hat is.

[SENSEIDANIELBENAITIS]

really cool i like it

[gbwisconsin]

Supposing that after she takes him down for the twentieth time, she were to remove her shoes and rub her stocking feet in his face?

[OonaCanute]

@gbwisconsin Suppose you kept your sexual issues to yourself.

[gbwisconsin]

@OonaCanute, of course, you're right. What was I thinking? Imagine someone on YouTube actually posting comments addressing sexual issues !!!! Please accept my deepest apologies for bruising your conservative Catholic sensibilities.

[drc1981]

@OonaCanute Sexual issues??? gbwisconsin was talking about feet being used to literally rub it in how much better trained she is. This is a self defense video; this isn't a porno dude, or chick, whichever you are. I see no sexual issues on her end. Maybe you're a descendant of one of the guys who got his ass kicked 30 times in this video? Either way, sexual issues? I mean seriously, which side of your ass did you pull that comment out of? Not everything is about sex or sexual natured.

[gbwisconsin]

@drc1981, you are 100% correct. My original comment was asking about the woman rubbing her foot in the guy's face as a gesture of implied humiliation, and nothing more. OonaCanute was the one who made the sexual implication, not me. OonaCanute, suppose you kept your idiotic comments to yourself. There are responders on YouTube that will eat you alive if you offend easily, Cutes.

[drc1981]

@gbwisconsin Well don't feel bad; I have had my share of stupid remarks on Youtube. Some people say things or assume things over the internet that they would never say or assume in person. This whole thing could have been avoided with some simple nonjudgmental mentality, er something. Uh huhuhuhuh  Cool

[drc1981]

@gbwisconsin I think the poor guys in this video would welcome a foot in their face as opposed to her boot in their butts again.

[lhkjk]

0:28

what an idiot

he should have helped her

[jigoyawara]

yes....but it was real

[calimar28]

1940s'. Look at her hair.

[will89black]

pure shit

[judopathoftruth]

lol brilliant judo

like that fantastic ashi guruma and that tome nage

[jujutsufan]

well as you may be aware Judo was developed from jujitsu....jujitsu is used as a means of self defense hence the application of tome nage etc.....Jujutsu in its traditional forms consists of striking also...for lack of a better term it is the complete martial art...

[Darksido]

@jujutsufan Judo has Atemi waza, is not used for sportive ways and only certain students are selected to learn it, but is part of the The Way. So I don't know what you are talking about. If you like martial arts so much you should inform yourself before arising misinformation about them.

[louisEX2]

0:11 that guy looks like he wanted to hump her

[jl5000]

I like the spelling in your comment in the description. After all that menstration, one likes to unwind (or de-menstrate) with a bit of violence.

[Beagboy4Ever]

This is not jujitsu it is bartisu a derivative of jujitsu.

[Obsidian1392]

@Beagboy4Ever i recognised some jujitsu techniques there

[Beagboy4Ever]

You may, Bartisu is derivative of Jujitsu. They both follow the same discipline's.

[Obsidian1392]

@Beagboy4Ever so how do you know it's bartisu?

[judopathoftruth]

baritsu i belive was a female version of Jujitsu?

[dlloyd1974]

It's Jiu Jitsu (old-style... not BJJ).

Bartitsu was a short-lived 'experiment' that had been dead for at least 30 years by the time this film was made.

[jiggahippo]

yes, this jujutsu is geared for the streets not a sport

[lll000000lll]

looks more like judo in the first 2 mins

[Tuckypoo111]

1945. my grampa watched this via live in london.

[vickaronomie]

Probably from the 30s if they have the ability to record sound with the film.

[Jenfucius]

She probably worked as a spy for the British gov. back then.

[rapiergirl]

"Please go away!" PRICELESS!!!! LOL!!!

[UrineArtist]

Only a Brit could wear a full suit and tie while demonstrating Jujitsu...

[faiska1]

@UrineArtist hahha you right dude

[flysnake12]

@UrineArtist lol

[fleonard4]

@UrineArtist LOL! People constantly comment on how Judo and Jujitsu people can't fight without a gi, then when you see a demonstration in actual street clothes (of the time), people are still lame enough to criticize.

Can't win.

[Jarno1510]

@UrineArtist

and Vladimir Vasiliev, various Krav Maga bodyguards... realism means not adapting to the training, but adapting the training to fit your everyday circumstances. My student wear their everyday clothing for training. If one of them wears a suit every day, he should wear it in training. imo.

[ShitJitsu]

@UrineArtist and they should be smoking pipes old boy

[gjefle]

them damn limey bastards were hoping she would pull guard on them

[matrox]

Thats corny BS. How many people are going to immediatly just let go when the woman attempts to defend herself?. The first thing these clowns are doing is letting go of their hold when the woman grabs them. Thats silly.

[soyelfelipe93]

cobraron jajajaja

[guestinformant9]

I just love the unflappably polite British banter throughout this

[Polosak]

Put a triangle on those dudes in that dress LOL. LOL at other comments. Jolly good show ole chap :D

[peptobismolz]

never compare judo and jujitsu? Maybe you need to research your info a little bit but they are the same shit.

the only differance is the rules dude and jujitsu focuses on Newaza and Judo focuses on Randori, but they both have the same tools and the ability to be equal in any stage of fighting depending on what they want to focus on,

Judos rules are a little restricting to jujitsu, bet to say that judo is far inferior is silly.

[yumenoakisame]

This doesn't look like jujitsu as much as it does judo (where are the locks and breaking of joints!!!). It's a nice video anyway.

[peptobismolz]

lol

yumenoakisame A: some of her throws are illegal in judo

B: Its all the same Judo/ Jujitsu... gentle art, gentle way, no differance

[TheIceman3rd]

jet li would woop her ass, cuz we all know our attackers will move soooo slooow for us

[MindOverMatterBjj420]

jiu jitsu is best for women and children and smaller weaker men like me :)

[skelton39]

I enjoyed the whole thing. hilarious!

[kauczuk86]

chuj w dupe anglikom

[geandmeg]

There are no girls like her anymore. Well-bred, prim and proper, and BEAUTIFUL!! Why was I born in the era of hollaback gurls?!!

[mathpuppy]

@geandmeg the men of this era are no prize either man. trust me

[kevinchris]

@geandmeg Yeah but back then girls had huge bushes! EWWW!!!

[christlicker]

@geandmeg Cause you a holla back boy!

[MrSheepboat]

@geandmeg haha so true so true

[KungFuKid1015]

My sifu pinched me in the kidney nerve one time and it made me jump like that guy did too....damn that hurt.

[MDIS]

The so-called Jujitsu techniques shown here from the 1920's - 1930's are actually used in Street Fights and Brawling in the U.K and Europe.

So in any case , i could rather call this as Street Wrestling or Grappling.

In the 1897 - the police started using Jujitsu when Japan was forced for open trade. So , some of the more well educated Japanese Masters have stayed overseas and started teaching Jujitsu to the Constables.

[MzBrunette12]

This is the best thing I have ever seen.

[TEDDOWNER123]

"there's only one way to attack a woman".,.,., is it rong that this turns me on a bit

[subwayISnice]

ROFL Epic Fail on 0:36

[Purstiltski7]

Enjoy your trip?

[Eidur12]

Id Bottle That Bitch

[banjodeluxe]

not a man, but a woman!

[Moodymongul]

Reminds me of a classic harry enfield comedy sketch :) ...if i remember correctly the date of the first JuJitsu book published in the UK was in 1893 (mainly used by the police, i think).

[Baldenlong77]

Saw this on Attack of the Show yesterday! It's so weird seeing marshal arts performed back in the 30s. Especially by proper British women!

[AudacityOfGrey]

Would take that woman over Beyonce any day

[0Spence0]

1950's

[Stamp987a]

She's so elegant and yet fierce!

[sigmacombatsystems]

LOL That was awesome.

[kevjkx]

Seeing as it's a talking movie, I'd say it had to be at least the 1930's or later.

[gzubens]

I love her !!

[allthatisman08]

what the hell is that woman doing out of the kitchen!?

[ssbeltran]

jeje, yeah! Why the hell isn't she cooking dinner?

[chasong]

'brushing up' men!

[luigidemariobros]

Great¡¡

[term02]

wow that was hilarious

[theolay]

if that guy had a pair he wuda laid her ass out

[benelliman]

lol

[MzBrunette12]

fuck you dickwad.

[theolay]

what u a rape victim or something ?because its not my fault men are superior to women

[MzBrunette12]

Being a rape victim is the only way I can have a problem with sexism? eh, but now I think you are just baiting me so I'll ignore it. Looosssseeerrrr.

[MacraeCain]

this is gay, how pathetic.

[BeigeFunk]

this looks circa early 1940s.

[skiantozza]

I should take some lessons

[bubbaUK]

people in the 1900s were very strange...there is something strange about people in history

[KatariaGujjar]

what tactic to use if ur a girl and some stranger manages to stick his cock up ur ass?

[karatekaphil]

fart

[KatariaGujjar]

hahahahhahaha

[ucanfrenchmyfry]

"that was no tickle", queer

[gerofour]

this is not a real video.

[newwear]

take that old chap 'slap' 'bang' 'wallop' haha

[bigblubird]

The match between Jujitsu and Judo is not as balack and white as it seems. Judo came from Jujitsu and at the time of the match most of the Judo men also had been students of Jujitsu. same as old Judo. Kano said judo consists of Throws , Grappling and strikes. The strikes and toes locks and leg locks are not practiced very much these days. Also the first rules to win at Judo were the other person givibg up , becomming disabled or death. I for one amd glad the is has changed.

[flashart]

We're told that Judo beat Ju Ju Jitsu in 12 out of 15 matches.

We need to remember that Ju Jitsu is not a sport- so the set up of the matches would obviously have favoured Judo.

Half the techniques in Ju Jitsu are illegal in Judo.

I found Ju-Jitsu much more practical as a means of self defense.

[PARR53]

I would say more like 2/3rds of the techniques in traditional Jujutsu are illegal in Judo and not even practiced in Judo dojos. People seems to forget that Judo was devised by Jigaro Kano who removed most the extremely dangerous techniques. Judo, despite being less dangerous than Jujutsu, can still be lethal if the techniques are applied in that manner but that is not the point of the art which is why it was highly adaptable to athletics and eventually became a sport.

[flashart]

As you say- Judo was designed as sport, with rules allowing everyone to compete - regardless of where they came from.

Ju Jitsu evolved from the need to defend oneself - often against stronger or armed opponents. As such centres more on the Dirty B*stard style of fighting.

This video always makes me laugh. ;)

[john32234]

Really. I thought it was a samurai form of hand to hand?

[hydrolito]

They use choke holds in judo and if they don't let go they could choke someone to death, they can also break arms, legs, wrists, etc. so need to be careful.

[valentineboy1977]

Is this for real?

Its like Mr Chumley Warner

[uzzell187]

the end is the funniest thing i've seen in a while....

[DelMkVI]

Did she ever get married?

[Sparkzy13]

yeah looks like judo, jujitsu {depending on the style} is alot more violent, thats why the came p with judo because clubs were losing 10% of their population per month

[amarsbarr]

This was planned out though *sigh* she knew what they were going to do, effective though. Ju Jitsu is the real deal though.

[amarsbarr]

THIS IS FROM 1937, this is judo, lol no match for MMA

[JayEm74]

ju-jitsu was first! check your history.

[jonathanpantoja]

JayEm74, don't be ignorant, yes jui-jitsu came first, but back in the beggining of the century Kano gave a lot of publicity to judo.What you just saw was judo!Sure judo came from jui-jitsu, but judo is the more effective and quickest of the two(adapted by japanese instead of traditional jui-jitsu)

[DelMkVI]

Judo is just ju-jitsu with the nasty bits taken out.

[renaissancelitgeek]

Depends entirely on the combatants in question. Strictly speaking, there is never a match or fight in which it is one style against another: rather, it's two practitioners of different martial arts. The person who comes out as the winner depends more on who has the greater skilled/experience than which martial art one practices.

[jonathanpantoja]

yes correct, but how about when it came down to which martial art was going to be used for Japan's police force....the best(according to high ranking people of that martial art)of jui-jitsu was put against Kodokan's most competitive players and altogether judo won.

[renaissancelitgeek]

I still think it would be more accurate to say that the Kodokan Judoka dominated the ju jitsu practitioners; they won 12 of the 15 bouts in the contest the Tokyo police dept held. But my earlier comment was a reply to armsbarr more than anything else. MMA is based very heavily on ju jitsu, but it's tough to have a level playing field becasue when a competitor from one art meets someone from the other the tournament will be working with AAU rules (ju jitsu) or IJF (judo), not a composite of both.

[makeitubE]

aww she is such a lady

[whodareswinswhat]

Can a bullet kill a parrot?

[fredpatterson00]

In style, this seems pretty similar to modern Small Circle jujitsu (self defense orientation, standing takedowns, there's even a kind of wrist twist). Check my video for some examples of Small Circle moves.

[GRINDM0D3]

da best one iz probably grabing da guy leg n drop to drop , gives them a chance to run for help

[GRINDM0D3]

da best one iz probably grabing da guy leg n drop to drop , gives them a chance to run for help

[sabinal208]

This was a news reel from 1937, she's great, an early version of Emma Peel.

She was probably a military girl and a self defence instructor,with moves like that I bet she was recruited by the OSS when the war started 2 years later.

Imagine her in black leather taking on the Krauts.

[Thunderhouse2]

You are right.

Jujistu and martial art experts where indeed recruited for OSS and marine combatives training.

William E. Fairbairn is a good example, along with Rex Applegate, Allan Costorphin Smith...

[maugustyniak]

I'd loove to pin her down!

[ggxxslash]

I think SHE'D be the one doing the pinning...

[maugustyniak]

Are you talking about your own skills, or mine? Are all british men shorter than their women? Or are they just manlier than YOU (specifically).

[miceskin]

Ah this is great i hate those He men at the swimming pool who delights in throwing people into the water by their ankles!

[skiistari]

Film is definitely from the '40s.

[lazyboyching]

the description says ''old footage from the 1900s-1930'' i don't think television was even avalible then.

But still nice video

[Animal81182]

it actually says 1900's 1920's - 1930's and film was around then!!! try reading it next time!!

[lazyboyching]

i did, i didn't know television was actully that old.

[ZenWolfDances]

It's a newsreel, not TV. Newsreels were like mini-documentaries shown in movie theaters before the main feature.

[WadoAJ]

This is maybe from the 50's.

Amusing to see both men claiming to not understand a thing, but yet they have nice ukemi ;)

to daseidokid, it's not because the died, but to make it possible for competition.

[daseidokid]

Jujitsu is NOT a blend of Aikido and Judo! They came from Jujitsu which is the first japanese martial art. Kano Sensei created judo because people were dying when practicing Jujitsu.

[oscargurses]

"this man tried to snatch my bag"..... or did he "try to bag your snatch?"... i want to post this in MetroSex blog, its cool

[zimonh]

in jujitsu jou kan make people hurt in teribble ways, it is nothing like judu, judo is the gay part of martial arts and jujitsu the awsome part

i juse only my fingers to defeat someone in jujitsu and that is alowed :D

[lessavit]

Ignorance is bliss. JuJitsu incorperates Judo.

Do is the sport method and jitsu is a way of living. Jitsu arts tend to be brutal and Do tend to be sporting.

Jujitsu is a blend of Aikido and Judo amongst other things. Didnt you see the hip toss in there? Judo, and many other jujitsu videos youll see judo throws. JuJitsu is the original art, everything else is a specialised off shoot

[zimonh]

this is 4 biginers we use holds where nobody can get out and hurting them when you hold them >.>
