Arthur Menzies, Wearer of the Black Belt, Teaches Oriental Method of Self-Defense

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Now in its third week a course in jiu-jitsn, or judge as this Oriental method of self-defense is also called, is being conducted by Arthur R. Menzies 1G in the Indoor Athletic Building.

As the son of a missionary, Menzies lived his early years in China and Japan where he learned the art of judo. He became so proficient that he is now a wearer of the Balck Belt, which entitles him to instruct others.

A graduate of the University of Toronto, Menzies is now studying for an M.A. in History. He offered the HAA his services to conduct classes at 2 o'clock on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

One of the principal differences between judo and wrestling is that the Oriental form allows chokes and armgrips. Heavy sweaters, jackets, or coats are worn to simulate ordinary wearing appearel; later, if interest continues, Japanese clothing may be ordered.
