Preface

Over the past few years it has become more and more apparent that an increasing interest has developed in the Oriental Fighting Arts among people throughout the world.

What has stimulated this interest? Is it merely the superficial attraction to the exotic or could it be the mystical or supernatural powers that those who practice these arts seem to possess? In reality, none of these are the deep rooted meaning for why the Oriental Fighting Arts have become so popular. The answer lies essentially in the fact that they are healthful physical arts, effective forms of self-defense exciting to practice and see in action, and builders of self-confidence.

I have written this book in the hope of being of service to you, with the purpose of presenting an earnest and rational approach to the basic forms of combined self defense-KETSUGO.

No effort has been spared to make this a thorough, practical course on self defense. Once you have mastered KET-SUGO, regardless of the direction from, or surprise with which, an attack may come, the skill and knowledge that you will gain from this book will stand you in good .stead.

Ask yourself what is essential to learning complete self defense and you will find the answer on the pages that follow. If (to my great satisfaction) the reader becomes proficient in the basic forms of KETSUGO, then the aim of this publication will have been fulfilled.
