Early #suffragettes were taught #JiuJitsu by the fabulously talented Edith Garrud, to not only protect themselves and their children, but also the leaders of their movement. Disparaging men called them Amazons - poor, scared, little fellas ☺️ #edithgarrud #myhero #jiujitsuforall

En train de bosser sur la mise en page d'un petit guide didactique pour pratiquer les techniques proposées par Blanche Whitney dans un article du Oregon Daily du 30 avril 1923 et c'est super rigolo de se détourer en train de faire des trucs (visuels sont beaucoup plus clairs) 👌
