The Weaker Sex! (1933)

Titles read: 'The Weaker Sex! (Sayest Thou!) Who said "weaker sex?" MISS MAY WHITLEY (not to mention her "bandit" friend CHARLES CAWKELL) from the Trocadero Restaurant, London, show otherwise.'
Pathe Studio, London.
An attractive young woman, May Whitley, explains the aim of jujitsu being to throw your partner off balance. Her partner, Charles Cawkell, comes towards May as if to attack her or steal her purse and she throws him on the ground several times.
May then talks us through each throw, explaining how we can do them too. After the final throw she takes out her compact and powders her face.
Intertitle reads: 'Slow motion demonstrates exactly how 7-stone-odd, scientifically applied, can defeat 14 stone.'
Great slow motion shots of the throws follow with sound effects!
Note: May Whitley seems to be Eurasian or partly oriental.

She reminds me of my great granny, she had the same attitude. She was younger tho. At 15 she became nurse at WWII foxholes, then a head nurse. She always had an opinion, and no one could change her mind 😂 i miss her so much

"I can dislocate his wrist, elbow, or shoulder" "Oauhhhh-"

[@sztewe]

That wasn't a mat, it was hard planks. Ouch poor guy :D

[@kena.8003]

You can hear him groaning upon landing. I don't think he was acting lol

[@anonymousanonymous7911]

Surprised he isn't dead

[@whateves9846]

Guess he shouldn't have attacked her then

[@brendathompson473]

The floor sounds more like the floor of a boxing or wrestling ring, with seems very hard but actually does dissipate some energy plus it looks like overall he knows how to fall and do so as well. I bet he still had trouble getting out of bed the next morning.

[@whateves9846]

@kingfuqurmahmen6792 I'm not sure if you've ever had a social interaction with a human before, but usually when these things happen people often make remarks called "jokes". Usually peoples friends are able to explain this to them, but since I'm certain you don't have any, there's probably a video online that explains the phenomenon

[@junheceta268]

This lady was a knockout in more ways than one.

[@666kismett]

This is brilliant,an woman back then being so incredible inspirational

[@dankester5607]

That's amazing... and if you listen, it sounds like he is landing on solid wood... can't imagine a lot of demonstrations ended well!

[@olavivans.3573]

You can tell he got hurt in the groin at least a lil bit at some point 😂😂

[@user-gh5fk6it8k]

She is beating the heck out of him

[@mattbronsil6336]

[@DarkComputerGirl]

I freaking love that she did this in heels. ❤

[@anthonyjames237]

2.48 in slow motion must have been very exciting for audiences in 1933!

[@Bunni_15]

I have to say we'll done to the man who withstood being tossed around by the weaker sex.

[@natbug1865]

He tapped his side when she was hurting him so as for her not to dislocate his wrist/arm

[@Dobcool]

She is the person I aspire to be

[@drosophilamelanogaster3121]

I believe in you ❤ you can be like her

[@TurgutKalfaoglu]

That's my grandmother.. really!

[@peterblauarsch800]

I believe that, have read an article that she married a 28 jear old Turkish man named Ahmed Abdullah Bey. Do you know if "May Whitley" was her stage name or real name ? When did she die ? Çok teşekkürler !

[@SorcererLord]

@@peterblauarsch800 This same guy answered these questions on reddit. May Whitley was her real name and she moved to Turkey after marrying Ahmed. Apparently they lived in Izmir, she was a housewife and bore Ahmed 2 daughters and 1 son. She died on 11 July 2001.

[@ninoschier9528]

[@SorcererLord]

It's real, the woman is May Whitley and the man is Charles Cawkell. It's obviously rehearsed.
