What is Taiho Jutsu? Taiho jutsu, meaning "Techniques of Arrest," originated in Japan and was developed for the purpose of law enforcement. In 1924, the Tokyo Police changed its system of training to incorporate more Ju-jutsu and Aiki-jutsu techniques. After the second world war, US occupation forces prohibited martial arts practice, with the exception of the Japanese police. The law enforcement system at that time underwent several changes and the result was Taiho jutsu in 1947. Taiho jutsu consists of 22 kata. The curriculum also includes instruction in Tanjo jutsu, a short two-foot oak stick. The history of martial arts as a means of law enforcement dates back longer than the 1920s. During the Edo Period (1600s-1868) Yaku Kobu Jutsu, which incorporated Ju jutsu, Aiki jutsu, Jo jutsu, Jutte jutsu, and Hojo jutsu, was the system the Shogun`s officials used to keep order. Taiho jutsu is taught internationally as a method of law enforcement and self-defense.
