Karate - Judo Self-Defence - Robinson, Jack

In 1931 Prof Jack Robinson, a Cumberland and Western style wrestling champion, can to South Africa from England to wrestle. He had learnt Jujitsu from two Japanese gentlemen, Mr Tani and Mr O-Tani, in England after being persuaded during challenge matches at the music halls, that Jujitsu was a force to be reckoned with. In 1933 he started teaching Jujitsu in Durban, but soon had schools operating in six major cities in South Africa. His sons, having grown up virtually on the mat, worked as instructors. They also toured the country performing demonstrations and so cultivating interest in Jujitsu and Judo. Prof Jack Robinson passed away in 1974 at the age of 78, a tenth (10th) Dan.
