Item superb condition with some spine wear. Very rare item in any condition! A Brief History of MIYAMA RYU ANTONIO PEREIRA Combat Jujutsu in WWII The origins of Combat Jujutsu stretch back over half a century. In 1942 Antonio PEREIRA, a young American soldier, was participating in a hand-to-hand demonstration. When ordered to punch one of the instructors in the face, he complied, only to find himself whipped around into a chokehold. During World War II, PEREIRA learned as much as he could about specialized combat methods. He continued to experiment and practice with the techniques, refining them sometimes under life and death situations. A Warriors Quest for the Ultimate Martial Art After the war, his warrior's quest for additional knowledge took him to many schools in search of martial prowess. In 1950 he began a formal study of Judo with the Lefcoker brothers. He began to research how victims of crime were attacked and devise methods of practical defense. Responses Against Real Street Attacks In 1960 he opened a martial arts school on Tremont Avenue, in the South Bronx, New York. He called his rough-and-tumble method of fighting Combato. But the puzzle was still not complete. In 1962 he embarked on a journey to Japan. His plan was to study from the source, and perhaps to gain a better sense of the martial principles. read more
