{"product_id":"feldenkrais-moshe-jiu-jitsu-and-self-defense-9781884605116","title":"Jiu-Jitsu and Self Defense","description":"Moshe Feldenkrais published Jiu-Jitsu and Self Defense as a training manual for Haganah recruits in 1930. The Haganah was a Jewish paramilitary organization, which sixteen-year-old Moshe Feldenkrais joined at its inception in 1920. Ten years later, this book describing his training method was published based on a decade of field experience.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHis years of hand-to-hand combat spurred Moshe to write this book that presents his unusual self-defense method. The book is based on all movements of defense, where the first movement is the natural reactive movement that a person does without thinking. He concluded that any effective self-defense system must be based on a person's automatic movements when attacked.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nShortly after Jiu-Jitsu and Self Defense was published, Feldenkrais left Tel Aviv to continue his education in Paris, where he met Jigoro Kano, the founder of Judo. After reviewing Jiu-Jitsu and Self Defense, Kano engaged Feldenkrais to co-found the Jiu-Jitsu Club de France.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nJiu-Jitsu and Self Defense is the first blossom of Moshe's genius. This book contains the seeds that germinated and, many decades later, grew into the Feldenkrais Method®.","brand":"Genesis II Publishing, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53915716845910,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9781884605116_1.jpg?v=1779207986","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/feldenkrais-moshe-jiu-jitsu-and-self-defense-9781884605116","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
