"The Suffragette that knew Jiu-Jitsu: Unleashing the Power of Women in Martial Arts" In a time when women's rights were fiercely fought for, one remarkable figure emerged - the Ju-Jitsu suffragette. Inspired by the bravery and determination of St. George, patron saint of England, she embodied strength and resilience both on and off the battlefield. Amidst historical events like the death of Sir John Moore and The Queen assuming her role as Captain-General, this suffragette found solace in martial arts. From sport to self-defense, she embraced various disciplines such as Kendo, Judo at Oxford in the 1950s, and even taught police officers Ju-Jitsu techniques. Her dedication to Japanese ways of chivalry was showcased through captivating displays at London's Aeolian Hall. Armed with "saucepan lids, " sickles and chains, or Japanese halberds - she fearlessly engaged in bouts with Nabebuta, Kusarigama, and Naginata. Not all battles were physical; sometimes justice had to be served within military ranks. The court-martial of Lt. Perry from Her Majesty's 46th Regiment exemplified her unwavering commitment to fairness. Even during moments of celebration like Royal Navy parades on Coronation day in 1953, her presence reminded everyone that true strength knows no gender boundaries. Reflecting upon history's warriors like Marcus Valerius Martialis - a Roman poet who recognized martial prowess centuries ago - we honor those who have paved the way for future generations. Through artistry captured by Page in 1814 depicting Martialis' legacy, we are reminded that martial arts transcend time and culture – empowering individuals throughout history to stand tall against adversity.
