The fierceness of the Japanese warrior and his fighting arts has
fascinated Westerners since Europeans first came into contact with Japan
more than 450 years ago. Classical Fighting Arts of Japan: A Complete
Guide to Koryu Jujutsu is the first comprehesive English-language book
on traditional jujutsu.

Author Serge Mol--working almost exclusively from original Japanese
source materials--vividly outlines the history of the close-quarter
fighting methods tha twarriors developed not only to prove themselves on
the battlefield and in daily life, but also to the constantly ready to
defend their feudal lords.

A great number of jujutsu styles and techniques--armed and unarmed--have
existed over the centuries, and many of the classical weapon schools
also instructed in the use of jujutsu. The Classical Fighting Arts of
Japan expertly guides readers through the rise and development of many
of the major schools.

The classical martial arts as practiced in the ancient ryuha aere deeply
interwoven. For this reason, this definitive guide to koryu jujutsu
will not only be invaluable to practioners of traditional and modern
jujutsu, but will be of great interest to enthusiasts of modern budo
such as judo, aikido, kendo, and iaido.

Mol explores the historical and cultural factors that helped shape
jujutsu and the martial arts in general. He offers a detailed look at
individual jujutsu ryuha, giving details on the school's history (where
possible including illustrations of their founders and photos of ancient
manuscripts).

This book is richly illustrated with numerous photopraphs of rare
documents and with many photos of exponents demonstration techniques,
many of which have never before been shown outside Japan. In addition to
his extensive research in original source material, Mol had regular
access in conversation, over the course of years, to the insights of the
grandmasters of several of the most important jujutsu schools that
remain active today.

Classical Fighting Arts of Japan will be a welcome addition to the
personal collection of every serious student of Japanese martial arts.
