Womens self-defence from 1947 (video)

Women’s self-defence from 1947! Not sure about the wisdom of sacrifice throws, ankle locks and dropping into juji-gatame, but it is interesting viewing and the woman doing the demonstrations has some slick moves! Also watch out for the woman in the background on the weights machine (the one with the flower in her hair). Notice how tired she gets as she tries to lift through the entire scene! In fact it’s worth watching at least once where you focus solely on her to watch the smile vanish along with her form. That’s a lot of lifting she had to do! Thanks to Randy Erickson for sharing this with me.

The seonage works i have done it.  The stomach throw can work, if no mates around.  The leg catch works dones something similar.  As for arm locks done them in judo but not sure would working in real fight
