"TWO" Swing your right elbow to his neck.
"THREE" Swing your left elbow to his neck.
Do this three times each, acting as Assailant alternately.
LESSON 14
THE BACK THROW
This lesson teaches you the back throw, an alternate method of escape and defense when seized around waist from behind below arms.
Each method should be practiced to the point of efficiency where you are able to achieve victory by that one trick alone, but in a real fight. The victory often depends upon the number of attempts you make and the variety of methods you employ.
You should maneuver so quickly that your opponent has not time to change his front to meet your fresh attack.

"TAKE HOLD"
Assailant seizes you around the waist from behind, below your arms.
"ONE"
Stamp hard on his instep with your heel. This will loosen his grip.
"TWO"
With your right hand seize the front of his right trousers-leg.
Shove with your right hand, twist your left hip forward, swinging on balls of feet, and making effort from Stahara.
"THREE"
With left hand strike Assailant a vigorous blow below the belt.
This should be sufficient to lay him out.
Stop the blow three inches from the mark.
"FOUR"
With your right foot, step behind opponent. Get well down so that your hips are beneath his thighs.
With the front of your right thigh, knock his left hip up at the same time your right arm knocks his body backward.
It will be sufficient to practice lifting opponent into position of Figure 95.
Do not try this trick on a slippery floor with a heavy partner, or you may both fall and be injured.
In practice lift him and hold him for a few seconds. This develops your strength and teaches you to keep your balance.
In a real fight you would throw him with a backward sweep of your right elbow.
The punch in the stomach would make him let go, but supposing it did not, you would fall on him and knock him out.
The ability to do this can be developed without either of you having to fall.
"TAKE HOLD" Assailant seizes you.
"ONE" Simulate the kick to his instep.
"TWO" Seize his pants and twist your left hip forward.
"THREE" Simulate the punch to his stomach.
"FOUR" Step behind and lift him.
Practice this trick three times each alternately.
In Figure 94, be sure that the forward knock your hips give him is at right angles to his line of support, i.e., a line drawn between his heels.
This will unbalance him and make it easy to lift him. If your effort is made parallel to his line of support you cannot unbalance him and you are working against his strongest point.
If you find this principle difficult to understand do not lose time over it just now, it is not very necessary for this course and will be explained fully in the Second Course.
LESSON 15
THE SHOULDER THROW
This lesson teaches you a scientific method of throwing an Assailant over your shoulder when he seizes you around the neck, or around the arms, from behind.
You seize the sleeve of your opponent, unbalance him, place your center of gravity below his, and throw him, instead of the old-fashioned method of reaching for his head and throwing him by main strength.

"TAKE HOLD"
Assailant seizes you around waist, from behind, above arms.
(When taking the role of Assailant, do not hold too tightly at first, and do not complicate matters, or prevent his mastering the trick by dropping down when he drops.)
Throw your right leg outside and behind his right leg, placing your toes on the ground, and keeping your leg close to his.
Slip down through his arms, raising your arms sidewards.
Turn your body slightly to the right. Grasp the upper part of his sleeve with both hands. Pull his armpit over your shoulder, thus unbalancing him.
Always grasp opponent's sleeve instead of his elbow or wrist. This gives you tremendous leverage.
(Every part of your body must be limber except the Stahara, which should be strong and balanced. At first you will be exactly the opposite, your arms will be all tensed and your Stahara will be relaxed.)
Straighten your right leg raising your hip, bend slightly forward, and you will easily lift him.
(Practice lifting him before a mirror, taking the position of Figures 98 and 99 alternately, counting "ONE" -- "TWO", until you get the knack of lifting him by the roll of your body, not by arm or leg strength.)
Slowly rotate your right side close to the ground, rolling him gently off your back. Keep your balance in your Stahara so that you do not fall.
Hold on to his sleeve to prevent his falling heavily. Practice on a mat or grass.
We have some wonderful photos of a man's feet flying through the air straight above the opponent's head. But if these illustrations were used here the trick would look too difficult and you would not see how it was done.
Also if you tried to do it so at first you might hurt one another.
By practicing the positions of the photos shown here you will quickly master the trick and will be able then to throw your opponent's heels as high as you wish.
WRIGGLING OUT OF A MAN'S GRIP (Note re Figure 97)
There is quite an art in wriggling out of a man's grip. If you try to force his arms up with the strength of your arms you will fail unless you are much stronger than he is.
Slip down through his arms, making the effort from the Stahara, just as if the Stahara were a corkscrew, and your shoulders were the cork.
Do not bend forward, do not force his arms up with your arms, but raise your arms as his grip slackens.
KEEP THE STRENGTH IN YOUR STAHARA (Note re Figure 98)
Take the position of the right hand man in Figure 98. Tense your leg and arm muscles only, leaving the Stahara limp. Tell opponent to lift his feet off the ground and attempt to support him in that position. If he is a heavier man than you, you will probably collapse.
Again take the same position, make the Stahara strong (not by tensing the superficial abdominal muscles, but using your body as this course has trained you to do). You will now find that you can easily bear his weight and that you have considerable reserve power.
The two positions illustrated in Figures 97 and 98 are shown and explained separately in order that you may more quickly master these two points.
As a matter of fact there are not two movements here, the Jujitsu man instantly goes from Figure 96 to Figure 98 and you would not see him in position of Figure 97.
"TAKE HOLD"
"ONE" Simulate the kick to Assailant's shins.
"TWO" Slip down and seize his sleeve.
"THREE" Throw him.
LESSON 16
REAR STRANGLE
This is one of the most important lessons in the course.
It teaches a deadly counter to the shoulder throw.
It shows you a safe method of practicing this deadly hold until you are perfect in it.
This lesson teaches more than just a defense. It teaches a hold that can be used in countless situations either of offence or defense.

COUNTER TO SHOULDER THROW -- THE REAR STRANGLE
As opponent slips down to take shoulder-throw position, bring the sharp wrist-bone of your right arm against the front of his neck.
Counter to Shoulder Throw -- The Rear Strangle
With the strength of both arms, press the wrist-bone on his throat, your chest meanwhile pressing against the back of his neck.
This is a very severe grip and can render a man unconscious instantaneously.
Do it slowly at first so that there is no danger of injury. Let both of you "feel it out" first, the one on whom it is tried making no resistance.
OPPONENT GIVING SIGNAL OF DEFEAT (Showing clearly the action of the wrist-bone)
In practice exert only sufficient pressure to force opponent to give the signal of defeat.
Opponent Giving Signal of Defeat (showing clearly the action of the wrist-bone)
Practice it on each other unresistingly, playing the game of "Tickle my nose." This will make you so expert that you can force one another to quit without injury, and at the same time you will have such a margin of reserve force that in a real fight you could make your opponent unconscious.
The secret of this hold is use the sharp wrist-bone on his throat, and press the neck forward with your chest.
Practice the stranglehold in the following manner:
"TAKE HOLD" Seize your opponent around the waist, from behind, above the arms.
"ONE" Opponent simulates kick to your shins.
"TWO" He drops down and seizes your sleeve, you bring your forearm against his throat.
"THREE" He makes no effort to throw you, and you slowly choke him.
Do not try to choke him by arm strength alone, but keep your strength and balance in your Stahara. Practice till you can make him quit instantaneously yet so gently that you do not hurt his throat.
Do this for several days before you try the Advanced Practice.
ADVANCED PRACTICE
Execute "TAKE HOLD" -- "ONE" -- "TWO" as above, then instead of saying "THREE" say "GO" when your opponent will try to throw you with the shoulder throw before you are able to choke him.
