1930s Woman Defends Self

This old school demonstration was revolutionary in its day, and is still apropo for today.

Ms. May Whitley was a pioneer for women practitioners as early as the 1930’s. She appears in various vintage self defense film clips from that era, performing Jujutsu demonstrations with a male attacker. Dorthy Darke was another jujutsu practitioner of that time.
