ESCAPE FROM CHIN SHOVE
Assailant attacks you with chin shove, his right hand on your chin, his left hand round your waist.
If you stand with feet on the same line you will be immediately unbalanced and unable to resist.


"ONE"
As he takes hold, step back with either foot and take a balanced position.
Bring your left elbow close to your side and palm of left hand onto Assailant's forearm.



"TWO"
Assailant pushes your had back and pulls your waist in.
Throw your head back quicker than it is pushed, knocking up his right arm with your left arm.
Keep your eyes on Assailant.


"THREE"
Instantly regain your balance and shove Assailant's chin back with your right hand.


"FOUR"
Make Assailant stagger slowly backwards. Bring up your knee with full force, stopping three inches from the target.
This practice will make you dexterous in using both hands and feet in a fight and trains you to make your every movement for the purpose of unbalancing opponent.
Keep your balance and make the effort from the Stahara.


ESCAPE FROM CHIN SHOVE
Understand in a real fight you would not shove but would hit your opponent so hard with the heel of your hand below his chin that you would knock him out.
Practice of this trick will give you the power to deliver such a blow and also the presence of mind to use it.
Also without hitting it is possible to shove so hard that opponent is knocked out by the fall.
In practice go no further than unbalancing opponent with a slow shove.
The practice of this trick has greater advantages than merely teaching you a defense against this attack. It teaches you how to use your body quickly in a way that will be valuable in all attacks.
You do not pull his hand away from your chin but evade it by giving way. The effort is made with a swaying motion of the Stahara which keeps your balance.
Take the position of each of the five photos illustrating this trick, and compare your position with them.
Practice it slowly at first. Afterwards you will do it so quickly that an onlooker could not explain what you had done.
In a real fight you would knock Assailant's hand away, and counter, before he got you in the grip illustrated by fig. 38.


BALANCE AND MOMENTUM
Jujitsu tricks are done with great rapidity on an opponent who is usually moving just as quickly. You utilize the momentum of the opponent to unbalance and defeat him instead of relying on your own strength and weight.
If you try to master the two complicated problems of your opponent's BALANCE and MOMENTUM and at the same time make your legs and arms perform a complicated, unfamiliar feat, you are up against an intricate task in which progress is slow. This is why it takes so many years in Japan to learn jujitsu.
The system by which this book teaches is radically different. It eliminates the factor of MOMENTUM by causing the teacher to stand still until the student commences to use his body properly and until he understands how to unbalance his opponent.
When this stage is reached, the student's subconscious attends to the proper working of the arms and legs and to unbalancing opponent, leaving the active mind free to watch opponent's momentum.
The teacher now adds a little movement to the lesson and finally attacks the student swiftly.
As each student alternately takes the role of Instructor (or Assailant), he will stand stationary and allow his opponent (or pupil) to master the movements of arms and legs and to discover how to unbalance his Assailant.
He may then combine movement with his instructions and his pupil will readily learn to deal with the factor of momentum.


THE WAISTHOLD SERIES
When engaged in training thousands of men who knew nothing of wrestling and boxing and who would shortly be engaged in savage trench warfare, the most important thing was to teach them to deal their opponent a kick or blow in a vital spot.
Merely telling them of these blows was not sufficient. The untrained man would think of these tricks after the battle and would sadly exclaim: "Oh, if I had only done so-and-so."
They were first taught to kick with the whole weight of the body. Merely kicking with the muscles of the leg and thigh does not deliver a blow one-third as powerful as if you "put your Stahara" into it.
The waisthold series, consisting of:
waisthold, chin shove, nose push, and escape from chin shove,
gave them more actual practice in five minutes than half-an-hour of desultory wrestling would.
A class of a thousand men could be trained in these methods with the same precision, snap, and disciplinary effect as army disciplinary calisthenics, or setting-up exercises.
A scientific analysis of each trick enabled the movements to be directed from a platform, step by step, and the soldier learned the movements as quickly and correctly as if he were getting a personal lesson from the instructor.
The same scientific analysis has been followed in these pages. The photos take the place of the platform demonstration, and the printed words take the place of commands.
Take the position of each illustration and slowly practice the movement described and you will learn how to apply your strength.

A USELESS METHOD OF DEFENSE
It is useless when thus attacked to seize Assailant's wrists and try to pull them off.

Yet that is what most people would do under the paralyzing effects of fear.
It is almost as useless to try and seize a finger and pry his grip open, or even break the finger. If he is strong he would have you nearly choked before you could accomplish this.
Even if you are stronger than Assailant is, strength is not nearly so speedy a way of conquering him as the methods given here, particularly the Third Method.


METHODS OF PRACTICE FOR HUSBAND AND WIFE
If a husband wishes to teach his wife the defense tricks he will assume the role of Assailant, as directed, and attack her with the attempted strangle, the waisthold, etc.
In attacking her throat, he will place his hands on her shoulders and his thumbs on her windpipe, gently, without pressure, and will remain in that position while she slowly executes the defense, practicing this again and again until she acquires speed, and until she can act without hesitation.
He may then hold her neck with gradually increasing pressure in his fingers, carefully avoiding pressure with his thumbs.
Soon she will learn to anticipate the attack and will act so quickly that the defense is made before his fingers can reach her throat.


THE PSYCHOLOGY OF TRAINING
In this way her reflex action is being trained and an attempted move on the part of a ruffian on the street on a dark night would stimulate her reflex action to perform the necessary defense without having to hesitate and think of what to do.
It will train her to act in the face of danger and free her from the paralyzing effects of fear.
The partner with whom you practice knows what your defense will be but must not take advantage of this knowledge to escape or parry the defense. He must attack again and again without variation.
Remember that the ruffian who attacks you on the street does not know what your defense will be and probably expects no opposition at all.
Your properly executed defense will incapacitate him before he has time to change his method of attack.


DIFFERENT METHODS OF THROAT ATTACK
An Assailant might press his thumbs directly into your windpipe.
Or he might cross his thumbs over your windpipe. A strong man could strangle you this way with one hand.
Some men would place the ends of their thumbs on the glands of your neck. This is a very painful grip.
The following lesson provides an adequate defense against any of these methods of attack.
In practice the Assailant may use any of these methods of attack but should exert no pressure with his thumbs.
At first he will merely place his hands on his partner's throat until the partner is familiar with the defense. Later on he will shove you gently. You will retreat more quickly than he shoves, unbalancing him as you retreat, and perform the counter.
Increase the speed of the attack gradually, but never become rough enough to injure one another.
In an actual combat the Assailant might not only try to choke you but to knock you over backward as well. The quickest way to master the defense to the roughest kind of attack is to eliminate the factor of momentum, and practice the trick stationary, until you have mastered all the details except momentum.
If you make your partner shove you while attacking, you will quickly catch on.


FIRST DEFENSE TO THROAT ATTACK
Assailant seizes your throat.
Bring your palms together.
(In practice, Assailant must hold tightly with his fingers, but will not press your throat with his thumbs.)
Bring your hands like a wedge smartly up between his arms, thus breaking his hold.
Place your hands behind his head or on his neck.
Pull his head smartly down, simultaneously bringing up your knee onto his nose with sufficient force to knock him out.
