Project Yourself
System Impresses
Fitness Committee

1t looks easy, the way Brooks
Mendell does it.
Mr.. Mendell is an advocate of
the protect yourself" system. He
throws very large men over his
shoulder and teaches girls how they
can do the same to ward off as
saults.
Mr. Mendell showed the National
Committee on Physical Fitness how
it's done, at its headquarters in the
penthouse of the Social Security
Building yesterday, and then DEM
onstrated his technique for the
press.
Members Impressed.
His system has not yet been for
mally adopted by the national COM
mittee, but members seemed i'm
pressed. The committee is con-
sidering it's feasibility for incorpora-
ton into its program for civilian
physical fitness.
The system is based on ''protec-
tive reflexes," according to Mr.. Men
dell, who is a graduate of Syracuse
University. He has been touring
the country teaching his "aggres-
sive" system to men of the armed
forces. But he showed the Com
mittee on Physical Fitness how the
protect yourself" system can be
used by civilians in defense in
action" against would-be assailants
For instance, he invited George
r. Holstrom (about 200 pounds)
chief of field operations of the
national committee to attempt a
judo attack on him, like the Japa-
nese use in killing with the bare
hands. Mr.. Mendell with a few
twists of his arms and back soon
had the 200-pounder high in the
air. and could have thrown him
over his shoulder. He didn't

stance. John Da Grossa, formerly
a coach at Georgetown University
here, who now is head coach at
Holy Cross, Worcester. Mass, and
assistant executive officer of the
national committee, took the role
of stranger. He grabbed Mr.. Men
dell around the neck, from behind
like ''mugger" and started to choke
him to DEATH" Mr.. Mendell
turned his head, ducked his chin
beneath the strangle hold, and then
