Hojo Jitsu

Ropes and Knots, Samurai Style

Hojo Jitsu is what the Japanese police and soldiers used to use before handcuffs had been invented.

The art of securing a prisoner was very important; because if you hadn't killed him already, you'd be keeping him alive for a purpose - probably interrogation, and maybe then a trial.

Nobody wanted a dangerous prisoner running loose, so the Japanese developed this system of Hojo Jitsu using just ropes and knots to hold the strongest man totally helpless. It also allowed them to lead the bound prisoner along, walking at the end of a rope.

Hojo Jitsu is very much a traditional martial art, it is not a WAY like Judo or Kendo, it is a fighting art like Ju Jitsu or Ken Jitsu.

Most teachers will only accept you as a student if you are already a black belt in a formal style they respect. Hojo Jitsu is serious stuff, and very formal and disciplined.
