About the Book

Charles Pechard, Paris Police Commissioner, created this manual for the practical use of jiu-jitsu in 1906. At the time Paris was in the grips of a crime wave, and the violent "Apache" street gangs were terrorizing Paris' upper crust and working class alike. The great Charlemont was adapting La Boxe Francaise for use in the street, while others were looking to other martial arts such as boxing and especially jiu-jitsu. Commissioner Pechard was inspired by a Japaneses delegation who visited Paris to examine the various aspects of of municipal administration, and when he saw how effective this method of grappling was he knew that he had to make it available to his officers. More than anyone else, the gendarmes were in a position where they had to be effective in combat without turning to deadly force. For Pechard the rational application of the joint locks and chokes supplied by jiu-jitsu were the perfect tool for men in law enforcement. His manual contains hundred of photos and includes a special section on self defense for women. While many of the techniques he outlines would be considered too harsh by the standards of modern law enforcement (and several are rather weird and questionable), they are definitely effective. Pechard's guide to jiu-jitsu for law enforcement purposes is at once instructive and amusing, offering rich source material both for people who are always hungry for greater knowledge regarding effective combative techniques, as well as those who like to glimpse back through the veil of time at how things truly were during the "Belle Epoque."
