Jiu-Jitsu Guard

The Mayor of Tokyo, Viscount Goto, selected Shojo Usui, veteran of the Russo-Japanese War, who holds the fourth rank of the Kodo-kan School of Jiu-Jitsu, to be his bodyguard. The Mayor chose a jiu-jitsu exponent because he believes that this famous art of self-defense is the most effective. Mayor Goto has recently received threatening letters because of his connection with the visit of A. A. Joffe, representative of the Russian Soviet.
