Juttejutsu
Encyclopedia : J : JU : JUT : Juttejutsu
Juttejutsu is the Japanese martial art of using the japanese weapon jutte (also known as jitte). Juttejutsu was evolved mainly for the law enforcement officers of the Edo-period to enable non-lethal disarmament and apprehension of criminals who were usually carrying a sword. Besides the obvious use of striking an assailant on the head, wrists, hands and arms like that of a baton, the jutte can also be used for blocking, deflecting and grappling a sword in the hands of a skilled user.
There are several schools of juttejutsu today and various jutte influences and techniques are featured in several martial arts.
