Defence in the Street

A translation of Jean-Joseph Renaud's « La Défense dans la Rue » published in 1912, this book is a comprehensive text containing early 20th-century self-defence techniques drawn from a variety of sources such as shooting, fencing, boxing and Jiu-jitsu. This translation attempts to remain as faithful as possible in tone to the original 1912 text and uses only the original illustrations; it is not a modern re-interpretation.
