About this Item

Paperback. Mystery and intrigue surrounds much of the life of the founder and practitioner of Ju-Jutsu, the self-styled professor, S. K. (Sada Kazu) Uyenishi. However, he was one of the first and probably the most influential jujitsu and judo experts to demonstrate, teach and compete in these arts outside of Japan. From the shadowy Baritsu exponents in the stories of Sherlock Holmes, to Inspector Clouseaus sidekick Cato of Pink Panther notoriety and James Bonds Odd Job, he of the stage name Raku has provided the entertainment industry with many stereotypes. Sada Kazu Uyenishi even influenced the seeming erratic, yet expertly controlled, screen pranks of the masterful Charlie Chaplin; but who was S. K. Uyenishi in real life? Find out more about him and his uniquely 'soft' style of Ju-jutsu, from reading this authentic presentation of his book.

About this title

Synopsis

Mystery and intrigue surrounds much of the life of the founder and practitioner of Ju-Jutsu, the self-styled “professor”, S. K. (Sada Kazu) Uyenishi. However, he was one of the first and probably the most influential jujitsu and judo experts to demonstrate, teach and compete in these arts outside of Japan. From the shadowy “Baritsu” exponents in the stories of Sherlock Holmes, to Inspector Clouseau’s sidekick Cato of Pink Panther notoriety and James Bond’s Odd Job, he of the stage name “Raku” has provided the entertainment industry with many stereotypes. Sada Kazu Uyenishi even influenced the seeming erratic, yet expertly controlled, screen pranks of the masterful Charlie Chaplin; but who was S. K. Uyenishi in real life? Find out more about him and his uniquely 'soft' style of Ju-jutsu, from reading this authentic presentation of his book.
