Five Edwardian illustrations showing basic Jiu Jitsu moves that can be done by women dressed in floor length skirts. The text is suggesting that women learn ‘The Japanese Art of Self Defense’.

A bit of Edwardian Jiu Jitsu for women’s self defence. I just love how progressive this part of the Suffragette movement was. So inspiring 🥰 i might be old and fat, but I am learning how to no longer walk afraid #jiujitsuforall #inspiringhistory #imnotyourvictim
