Among other sources a article published in the magazine O Cruzeiro particularly reveals that military schools adopted Japanse jiu‐jitsu as early as the first decade of the twenty‐century. The article itself deals with the late attempt to redeem General Dilermando de Assis’ role in the event which he killed the faous Brazilian intellectual Euclides da Cunha in a duel. In trying to demonstrate that Dilermando de Assis was a skilled martial artist, marksman and fencer the magazine published an old picture of the young cadet Dilermando with his Japanese master of jiu‐jitsu and peers wearing jiujitsugis in the Army school. “O Cruzeiro” November 24 1951, p.34.
