SHUGIJUTSU

TANBOJUTSU

Shugijutsu is a combat method which uses short sticks and in Takeda Ryu Kobilza Ha it is taught on the advanced level of jodo.

Very effective locks for immobilizing the opponent or for throwing him to the ground, as well as strikes and blocks are comprised in this martial art.

The techniques are related to those of Tessenjutsu (the art of the iron fan) which can be traced back to general Yoshimitsu, the “father of aiki”.
