Bob Gregory Aka Woman Judo Self Defence (1937)

Probably filmed at the Pathe Studio, London.
Various shots of a woman performing judo and self defence moves on a man in a room.
A man, presumably Bob Gregory, describes how judo can be used by 'a damsel in distress'. Mr Gregory and another man (dressed as a tough in a flat cap) both try various methods of attacking the young woman. She performs a variety of martial arts moves to throw them to the floor. The two men vie with each other to attack the woman.
Gregory and the tough discuss attack with no come back and Gregory pulls the tough's jacket round his arms and punches hum in the stomach. He then stands with his foot on the tough's chest as if in victory.

She was also wearing a dress and heels on her shoes. Any heel would affect her balance by throwing her weight forward. She is obviously a beginner and not particularly strong. I think she did amazingly well, despite this.

it's a known fact that Katharine Hepburn had a black belt in jujitsu that's that's one of the reasons why she always wore trousers besides the fact he was extremely intelligent and beautiful the world is going to miss God has given us many beautiful things beautiful flowers beautiful trees but the main thing that we should be thankful for was God gave us women and always remember it takes a woman to make a man think of mother

[@OdisseuBR]

Is it really? I mean, was Ms. Hepburn a black belt fighter?! Gee, that's the why I always feel a high vibe when I watch hers movies.

British people that American people sound exactly the same and this time

[@macm.3889]

The Trans-Atlantic accent was an artificial accent developed and taught for film and radio! Not sure I could do the best explaining it, but it’s really interesting

[@WitchKing-Of-Angmar]

​@@macm.3889 As someone who actually studies the 1900s to 1950s, I know that the Mid Atlantic accent is not an accent for TV. Americans did not sound the same as British for which British had a clear "eoh" sound whereas america had a "aeh" sound. Merlli for mary, and Marry for Mary in America. The dialects of any american at the time were nothing like they are today. What you are thinking of as mid Atlantic accent is the ridiculous way of current people today misunderstanding a simply acting style for voice to emphasize emtion and pretense. That accent was very much theres. I don't know where the idioicy configured that stated that they were changing their accent to sound a certain way, that's a lie if I've ever heard one.

@@DoubeEdged7In judo it’s t better for your opponent to be larger. Bigger they are, harder they fall. Especially when all of these rely on the momentum of the attacker
