Hojojutsu is the traditional Japanese martial art of restraining a
person using cord or rope. Encompassing many different materials,
techniques and methods from many different schools, Hojojutsu is
quintessentially a Japanese art that is a unique product of
Japanese history and culture. It is the beautiful and peculiar art
of restraining someone using (often brightly colored) cord. It is
rarely practiced outside of Japan and is an ancient strand of
martial art with a rich and complex history. As a martial arts
practice, Hojojutsu is seldom if ever taught on its own but as part
of a curriculum under the aegis of the body of study encompassed by
a larger school of bugei or budo, often as an advanced study in
jujutsu. Hojojutsu techniques and methods are seldom demonstrated
outside of Japan. Shihan Allen Woodman has trained over 20 years in
Japan and is the Chief Instructor at the Dento Teki Na Dojo, the
Kokusai Karate Do Renmei Hombu Dojo in Bronx, New York. Sensei
Allen Woodman offers this book on the traditional martial art of
Hojojutsu. This is one of the only books ever published on this art
form detailing the defensive practices and techniques of the art.
