A historical ju-jutsu text linked to S. K. Uyenishi’s “soft” style

This collector’s edition presents a text associated with S. K. (Sada Kazu) Uyenishi, a figure described here as an early and influential demonstrator, teacher, and competitor in ju-jutsu and judo beyond Japan. The accompanying context places his public legacy alongside later popular-culture images of Japanese martial arts, while distinguishing Uyenishi’s own approach as a uniquely “soft” style of ju-jutsu. With 156 pages, the volume is positioned as an authentic presentation of his work and an entry point into the historical presence of ju-jutsu outside Japan.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Martial-arts history enthusiasts
  • Readers interested in early ju-jutsu and judo instruction outside Japan
  • Collectors of historical martial-arts texts

Book overview

Mystery and intrigue surrounds much of the life of the founder and practitioner of Ju-Jutsu, the self-styled "professor", S. K. (Sada Kazu) Uyenishi. However, he was one of the first and probably the most influential jujitsu and judo experts to demonstrate, teach and compete in these arts outside of Japan. From the shadowy "Baritsu" exponents in the stories of Sherlock Holmes, to Inspector Clouseau's sidekick Cato of Pink Panther notoriety and James Bond's Odd Job, he of the stage name "Raku" has provided the entertainment industry with many stereotypes. Sada Kazu Uyenishi even influenced the seeming erratic, yet expertly controlled, screen pranks of the masterful Charlie Chaplin; but who was S. K. Uyenishi in real life? Find out more about him and his uniquely 'soft' style of Ju-jutsu, from reading this authentic presentation of his book.
