Corporal William J. Underwood was a Canadian soldier, veteran of WW1, a WW2 reservist and a world-renown Ju Jitsu instructor.
In this 1944 guide for women, he showcases his art of 'Combato' as a means to help keep ladies safe from the typical attacks and harassment of the era.
As a Judoka, boxer, Ju Jitsu and military combatives expert, his curricula draws on a wide range of sources - and all techniques are supported by clear photography, sketches and follow-along descriptions.
Peppered throughout are anecdotes and stories of these techniques used by Underwood's students too. Known as 'Bill' he famously used his Judo to escape a WW1 prison camp and was known to have taught civilians and soldiers in WW2 in preparedness for combat.
