Not that jiu-jitsu


Dranem Performs The True Jiu-Jitsu (1905)

Directed by Alice Guy-Blache this film stars Charles Armand Menard dit Dranem. A man sings a song on stage.

Not the display of martial arts you may have been looking for, instead this is a guy lip syncing to a song. The early use of lip syncing is impressive, the racial stereotype portrayed is not. Might be worth skipping this one.

2/5
