DEFINING TAIHO JUTSU

- THE DEFINITION OF TAIHO JUTSU -

Literally, the Japanese term Taiho Jutsu means “The art of arrest”, currently referring to all police tactics, techniques and operations that are essential to carry out the identification, reduction, control and conduct of one or more individuals.

The art of arrest comes from the Japanese feudal era, there is evidence of the use of this type of techniques in periods prior to the "heian" period (year 794-1192).

However, it would not be until the first years of the "Edo" period (1603-1867) coinciding with the growth and rise of the
JuJutsu and Kenjutsu schools that arrest techniques would be enshrined as an indispensable element, becoming part of the curriculum technician of most of the Bujutsu schools of this era.

The Japanese art of arrest developed from various techniques from various Bujutsu systems, systematizing them and adapting them to the objectives of the police or military forces of each era.

Throughout its history and depending on the time, Taiho Jutsu curriculum included  the following Martial Arts -

-     Hojo Jutsu (The art of tying)

-     Jujutsu and later Judo (soft art)

-     Kenjutsu and Kendo (The art of the sword)

-     BoJutsu and Jojutsu (The art of the cane)

​.     Tambo Jutsu (The Art of the small cane)

-     Jutte Jutsu (The art of jutte)

-     Keibo Jutsu (Short stick)

-     Juken Jutsu (The art of bayonet
