Mystery and intrigue surrounds much of the life of the Ju-jutsu practitioner and self-styled "professor," S. K. (Sada Kazu) Uyenishi, but he was one of the first jujitsu and judo experts to demonstrate, teach and compete in these arts outside Japan. From the shadowy "Baritsu" exponents in the stories of Sherlock Holmes, to Inspector Clouseau's sidekick Cato of Pink Panther notoriety and James Bond's Odd Job, he of the stage name "Raku" has provided the entertainment industry with many stereotypes. He even influenced the seeming erratic, yet expertly controlled, screen pranks of the masterful Charlie Chaplin; but who was S. K. Uyenishi in real life? Find out more about him and his uniquely 'soft' style of Ju-jutsu, from reading this authentic presentation of his book.
