Chinese Buddhist Monks
Invented Jiu-jitsu- Japanese Perfected It
By A. CARNEY
a
Many years ago an enterprising showman staged an exhibition bout between a massive wrestler from the Scottish Highlands and wiry little Japanese who was an exponent of the art of jiu-jitsu.
It must have been a remarkable spectacle, that contest between the diminutive yollow man in his loose-fitting clothes and the giant Scot in his kilt of clan tartan; and by all accounts it provided the spectators with plenty of amusement. With each of the two combatants seeking to prove the superiority of his particular style the bout developed into a trial of sheer strength versus mercurial agility, and it is said that the outcome was pure comedy of the farcical sort.
