Hundreds of ‘ people have mastered the fundamentals of Jujitsu in one evening: by. my ‘‘Master Secre:.’’ Tricks that formerly took. years to learn can now: be. Wonderful Success of “Master Secret” This ‘‘Master Secret’? has already met with amazing suecess. It was given an acid test during the war. Then it was a question of rush, rush, rush! The War Department at Washington demanded ‘men trained in the. best modes ‘ef hand-to-hand attack and defence. And they must he trained with the greatest speed possible. . In Infantry ‘Camps throughout the country, thousands of doughboys were tfained in hand-to-hand fighting under my direction. They were taught the ‘‘Master Secret.’’ ‘Once, learned and applied, Jujitsu was no longer a mystic power but an efficient weapon to use against the Hun.

Jujitsu: Gives You Instant Mastery Time after time, Jujitsu has proven its superiority over many other means of defence. I have seen count- less bouts between Jujitsu artists and much stronger men. The speed and ease with which Jujitsu usually rendered the opponents powerless without injuring them, clearly illustrated its power. I am a firm believer in boxing, wrestling and every other manly 4ft.
