I like how she's not just the "wife of N.J. Fleming", but the "Pretty Japanese wife of N.J. Fleming" ...racist imperialism and orientalist fantasies for the lose!

well usually pretty and strong don´t go together so...

Well, that's just it, right? I mean, what could be more dainty and fragile and effeminate than a 98lb pretty Japanese woman? Might as well capitalize on that stereotype to sell mystic knowledge.

And sorry if my comments are coming off sounding strident. I don't mean it that way at all... Dx

"...because I know Yubiwaza!"

Ah, yes, but if Mr. Yubiwaza isn't around, I guess you're screwed. ;)

98 lbs = NO.

She was probably 4'10".

This is a repost, but it's funny. :)

I didn't know 'Yubiwaza' preceded the Taser!

The only listing I see on Wikipedia for “Yubiwaza” concerns Paul the Samurai from The Tick. This may be all that I need to know.

Here's a followup (http://www.yachigusaryu.com/blog/2006/03/martial-arts-ad-yubiwaza-1968.html) on that ad.

Plus, some further info:
