MIKONOSUKE KAWAISHI — the “Father of French Judo”. Master
Kawaishi was an 8th degree black belt in Kodokan judo. He not only
brought the Japanese art as developed by Jigoro Kano to France, and
founded the French Judo Federation; he also developed and taught a terrific
and extremely deadly form of modernized ju-jutsu — close combat/self-
defense. It was unlike the classical-traditional or esthetic ju-jutsu which is
largely what is taught in the United States, Canada, and Europe today.
Kawaishi’s system — which he describes and outlines in his classic, My
Method Of Self-Defence (long out of print) — contains truly excellent
material. From what this writer can tell from analyzing Kawaishi’s material
he borrowed heavily from the knifework Wes Brown and Joe Begala
described and illustrated in the U.S. Naval Institute’s classic Hand-To-Hand
Combat (a 1943 wartime text for our military). Kawaishi discarded all
groundgrappling completely, since his sole concern — insofar as self-defense
was involved — was practicality and realism. - Bradley J. Stiener
