Small-Circle Jujitsu is the complete presentation of the system developed by Wally Jay. Bringing together elements from different arts, Jay s broad-based yet focused and effective system incorporates theories, principles and techniques essential to the development of every martial artist, whether a novice or a seasoned veteran. In this definitive instructional text, Jay covers the history of small-circle jujitsu; techniques for warm-ups, falling and resuscitation; details on weaknesses of the human body; locking techniques for wrists, fingers, arms and legs; throwing and choking techniques; and self-defense against strikes, chokes, body grabs and wrist grabs. Jay's system of small-circle jujitsu, based on 50 years of training and teaching experience, works on the premise summarized in his own words: It s not how much you can hurt a person in an altercation but how little you can hurt a person and still control him.
