So, HE WHO FINDS BOOKS WITHOUT COPYRIGHT AND PHOTOCOPIES THEM has discovered William Jacomb. I wasn't aware of his Atomic Jiu jitsu, but do have his 2 books from 1918, Boxing and Bayonets for beginners and self Defense.
The boxing book is interesting. bare knuckle style boing shown with gloves, the explaination of how boxing and bayonet fighting inter relate is cool. You need to be working from the sideways stance of a bareknuckle boxer for it to work.
I also have the originals of the other books he is flogging, lightning jiu jitsu, the John O"Brien book on jiu jitsu with the President Roosevelt promo and I beleive the USMC manual he is promoting. I would rate them as OK from a historical point of view, not earth shattering. But then, I'm not Matt Furey. -
