Less noisy than the fencing is the jiu-
jitsu. Here too, in many cases children
of eight or ten are pitted against we'll
known men. Every reader knows
that jiu-jtsu is a form of wrestling

and power of the assailant. The
more an enemy exerts himself the
worse for him. 1t is astonishing to
see some of the results, especially
in cases where a child of eight years
seemed to throw and exhaust man
of developed power.
