Book Reviews of Small-Circle Jujitsu
Book Review: A Talented Master, A Good Friend
Summary: 5 Stars
I am proud to say that I was personally acquainted with Wally Jay thanks to the introduction by former Canadian National Karate Champion, Patrick McCarthy. Later, I was fortunate enough to have hosted several of Jay's seminars and produced an article or two about him for national martial arts magazines. Besides being a talented martial artist Wally Jay was a decent and kind man. In fact, he had once told me that if we injured our opponents in a fight then we have an obligation to take care of them. As a combat veteran and tournament fighter I had trouble with that concept then. Over the years I have come to see that perhaps that's another side of his wisdom and compassion that as an instructor he tried to pass along to those of us knuckle draggers who hadn't caught on that fighting was more than just about belts and trophies.
When he was working on this book he asked if I would help out and I agreed. I had nothing really to contribute or add but was honored that he had asked. Having been in the mixed martial arts for over 40 years and written hundreds of articles for martial arts and military publications I can honestly say that Professor Wally Jay was truly one of best people I met along the way. His passing was a tremendous loss to the martial arts world but his soul and spirit live on in this book.
As for those critics who think any one book will teach you to be a real fighter...well, maybe if you study what's in it and then perhaps if you will also give it 20 or so years of work on the mat fighting against good opponents from any and every fighting style or martial art.
