08 - Hojo Jutsu
Hojojutsu is the art of bind and tie a prisoner, using a cord. It developed in the Japan feudal, be practiced by the class of the samurai. The word "hojo" is formed by the kanji "ho", that also is pronounced "tori", and signifies "capture, bind"; and "jo", that also is pronounced "nawa", and signifies "cord". The word "jutsu" signifies "art, ability".
To main reason of itself lace someone came of the need of be bound, maintain alive or stop the escape of determined individual. It was the case of the feudal period in the Japan, when the enemy be captured for supply information, or to be utilized in change of someone important that outside captured of another side. There are several other reasons by the which the hojojutsu was utilized. One of them was hold a prisoner it to be presented to some authority, in an eventual judgment by crimes made. Like this, the Japanese are detached for will have developed a sophisticated cord use system for tie persons.
The Hojojutsu was incorporated to the martial knowledge of the bushi and used mainly in the bloody one was of the 'Sengoku Jidai'. The lower class of the officials, call of 'okapiki', learned how basic forms of hojojutsu under the supervision of the officials of the class samurai. The task of tie a prisoner or suspicion be relegated to the lower patents.
With the restoration Meiji (1887), the Hojojutsu fell in disuse. It is important observe that the prisoners were tied of a specific way, indicating his social status. Each approach of marvel indicated the social position that the prisoner occupied and the crime that make. There is, inside the hojojutsu, special techniques for persons with strong or capable arms of will undo the we, so that, specially the person laced was stirred, more was strangled.
The cords in general were deeds of linen, silk or hemp. In the period Edo, colorful cords indicated the crime and the status of the person. By example, the white cord be used for smaller crimes, while the blue cord be used for grave crimes. If the person went someone important, be used the violet cord. If it went of class drops, used itself a black cord.
During that period, to be tied with a cord passing for the neck was extremely humiliating. Some considered worse than the death.
Several kinds of us are utilized, with purposes that go since hold tight, strangle or lace a prisoner to another. The Kaze in the Ryu Bugei I possessed the Hojojutsu in its curricular grille, but other schools also developed that modality, as to Fujiwara Ryu, Chokuji Goden Ryu, Sekieuchi Shin Shin Ryu and many other.
Oneof the approaches of capture a prisoner consisted of be thrown a sort of clasp that knocked down person. That then it be tied in an intricate net of cord, that it paralyzed completely. Today few are the masters that dominate the hojojutsu traditional. The modern police of the Japan still carries with himself cords for contain the prisoners, beyond the handcuffs.

09 - Tanto Jutsu
Tantojutsu or Art of the Knife (knife made under same standard of the Japanese swords) is basically divided in two forms:
So much - kind of knife used in the Japan
Aikuchi - kind of knife more bent used in the Japan
The art of the Tantojutsu also can be divided by age, being the forms more classical and Traditional cited like Koryu and the most modern forms, that already involve recent concepts (from the séc. XIX) cited like Kindai.
To practical of the Tantojutsu medieval
By it be part of the class of the Daisho, to so much always was studied like important discipline for the formation of a warrior or samurai. The knives, for the battle to a shorter distance than the sword, were utilized by its agility and capacity of harmonize with the most diverse angulaões and directions.
Inside the Kaze in the Ryu, or style of the wind, practiced by the Kyudoshin Bugei Kay Kan, descendant of the Ogawa Shizen Kay what mantém that Tradition already there is more of 400 years, the art of the so much one is sight under the prism of the reality and of the not fantasy, what it becomes a between the most meticulous and risky.
The art of the knife always had a special attention by the wealth of movements and studies of anatomy, for become the most efficient possible one the application of the techniques of battle with the knife.
Hiroshi Ogawa, Saiko Shidoshi responsible maximum by the Ogawa Shizen Kay, adapted the form of the Koryu Tantojutsu (classical forms) for the Kindai Tantojutsu (modern forms) of urban defenses (ShiHogo and ToshiHogo).
___________
"It to me Ah" is what do we name the notion of distance, the capacity of be situated before the adversary of way it obtain to better reaction defensive and better offensive action.
Very it practiced not only in the Tantojutsu, but in all the arts that compose the Bugei, the "it to me ah" can be had like the base for the battle, armed or disarmed.
In case of of the Tantojutsu, the depth of the studies of "it to me Ah" goes beyond the necessary one, since to so much is a weapon of extreme agility and harmony, that complicates a lot the comprehension of as be protected, defend or handle.
The comprehension of the "it to me Ah" goes beyond simply distance itself of the opponent, but treat-him as went a worthy visiting one, not permitting that his anger infects the its interior. The masters see in the "it to me ah" a tool for the battle, as some of the most valuable, and constantly manipulate him.
To the movements differed against the person, the despair of that the strike can reach the body is going to take a "safety margin", that represents ours own ruin. After it leave that the consequence took to count, we notice that we are distant the adversary, us putting handicapped persons of promote a following reaction, without that becomes apparent to the adversary.
To the study of the "it to me Ah", the lull and tranquility faced with to storm are the most important attributes for the following pace. A movement is launched and with the maximum subtlety occurs the detour, necessary barely for not to be reached, maintaining a distance of to an inch of the strike, that provides a favorable situation upon calling counterattack.

10 - Kobo Jutsu
The Kobujutsu is the art that embodies the assembly of weapons studied in the old practices of war. Known at present as Kobudo (road of the weapons), by the arts that compose the Gendai Budo, in determined regions was the reference for all the weapons that did not be part of the noble class of the daisho (whose literal translation, from the kanji "ooki" or "give", signifies "big" and "sho" or "chisai", "small"), composed by the Katana, Wakizashi, Aikuchi or so much.
Like this, in some regions the Bo, the Jo, to Yari, to Naginata, Leave, the Jutte (sort of tridente), to Tonfa (sort of cacetete), the Kama (sort of scythe utilized for cut rice) between other, were classified similarly as breaks integral of the Kobujutsu.
In determined arts, as the aikido, karate of the between other, everything what refers to technical that utilize some sort of weapon is called of Kobujutsu, that would be able to to be translated by the kanji used like reference, like "art of the old war". "Ko" signifies old, "bu", war and "jutsu", art.
Inside the classical arts that conserve the concept Koryu, the Kobujutsu is the term that refers the weapons of unlike characteristics them utilized by the samurais.
The majority of these weapons was lent of the farmers and rebellious that, in consequence of the period of hunting to the swords, improvised agricultural appliances as weapons of defense, like is the case of the tonfa, nunchaku etc. Such weapons afterwards passed it be part of the curriculum of determined schools.
In the present time, the information about the Kobujutsu are very vast, having several versions and analyses that do not establish a true and unique one.
Some they affirm that the Kobujutsu arose in Okinawa; others, by the own evolution of the wars. Others attribute to the Chinese influence. The western books that initially tried the Kobujutsu cited barely some weapons, that stayed acquaintances by the westerners and years afterwards became protagonists of the Kobujutsu, however many other were utilized in the period Tokugawa and Meiji.
The tessen, or gunsen (fan of iron), ono (sort of axe) and the kiseru (pipe) healthy some of them.

11 - Kabuto no Bujutsu
It is a significant discipline of the Bugei, that represents the form and the reality of the war.
Kakuto signifies "fight, seize, fight"; and Bujutsu, "art of war". It was defined, subsequently, by the masters as to "art of war come back to the reality".
Since the origins, the techniques of war possess a very unlike vision the situations lived inside the theories and practices of a dojô, by that the traditional schools guard, in a curriculum named "Okuden", the application and real forms.
The Kakuto in the Bujutsu had his ascent mainly in the was Tokugawa, when the wars and conflicts were more constant.
The psychological formation provided by the Kakuto in the Bujutsu enables to the practitioner a perception of the reality of war, that is differentiated of the practical one driven by a professor, instructor or main.
The traditional form directed for ends of the reality of war I included the utilization of any object that is available in a battle. Being like this, the war not possuía rules neither commandments that required that went utilized these or those weapons.
Among the most famous names, if finds Takuji Sato, that lived in the end of the was Tokugawa, exactly in the period of transition with the was Meiji, that would restore years afterwards the arts of Koryu transforming them in Gendai Budo, that is a more appropriate form for the education, and not for the war.
Believes-itself that only the lineages holders of the determined arts Koryu is that still possess such matter.
The Bujutsu, of general form, always worried about the reality lived in his teachings, and perhaps that be the most appropriate way of explain the creation of so many Ryu, since to each day the training be performed and taught of unlike way the initial form.
Some schools opted for teach the immutable, traditional form, and subsequently were recognized by the maintenance of the tradition and culture.
Other they preferred to teach the Kakuto in the Bujutsu of free way and vivencial.
Of a form or of another one, healthy few the schools and styles that still worry about that matter, that has forms of very peculiar teaching and characteristics, being easy for a master perceive some fraud or somewhat similar.
However much it have evolved, the methodology applied in the Kakuto in the Bujutsu still is to same of its origin.

12 - Kusari Fundo
Known as Manhiri Kusari or Kusari Deep, that weapon is a current one lastreada with pesos in the two tips that functions like device of marvel, esmagamento or strangulation of members or neck.
In the Medieval Age believed itself that the kusari deep would be able to produce in his technical ability the force of thousand men. Being like this, was a lot utilized us attacks and defenses so much to the short one as to the long distance.
They exist basically it practices of three kinds of kusari: short, medium and long.
Many theories were developed from an only beginning, not establishing a school as only holder of the true techniques.
The kusari made of steel appeared in the dimension of the bujutsu as to first Japanese weapon.
His application of battle, even alone or combined with other weapons, is going to be very old. In fact, she looks to have been the link between several sizes and poles of several legends as to of the nage-range.
Some authors believe that she widely was used in the defense of castles. Others visualize that the kusari also is utilized with the connection with Kama scythe of several thicknesses.
The weapon usually I possessed a portion of a lot iron utilized for the protection of the hands.
Weapons of this kind became acquaintances as Kusari-Range and his primary purpose was paralyze the sword of the opponent or throw its current in direction to the enemy its while another one free extremity stayed for mortal operations.
One of the specialists in kusari-range was Yamada Shinryukan, that defeated many swordsmen with his current and scythe before of find the death in the hands of Araki Mataemon, a swordsman that bound Shinryukan in a stake of bamboo.

13 - Ba Jutsu
The Bajutsu is the art of the horseback riding of war. The old one bushi of the high patents was, by definition, the "warlike mounted", that went for the battles at the front of the troops. He, therefore, dominated the art of the horseback riding in the feudal epoch, as indicate the iron mount pieces and bronze found us dolmens Japanese.
The Bajutsu is considered an as much as so old aristocratic art the period Heian. However, she lost much of her originality when the nobility, modifying the old practices of the clans of war for forms more "civilized" of approaches of violence, came it consider certain abilities in so vulgar martial arts that, in 1159, a captain of the guards of the external palace not even mounted a horse, limiting it be stimulated the provincial guards it will squeak in case of danger.
Even in the more remote periods, home of the bushi (this is, the central residence of the clan to which he belonged) incluía big cowsheds and external areas where the horses were maintained and coached, but there is not as aim exactly where and when the horse was introduced in the Japan.
Some studious they affirm that that animal was led by conquering immigrants to Yamato. All the same, the horse used in the Japan by the "warlike mounted" looks to be the typical similar, Asian pony upon using by Chinese and Korean, as well as by the riders Mongols, that really were born and lived together with horses. The Japanese sort probably is a crossing of several continental lineages, since those animals frequently were cited in lists of presents changed between the Chinese cut and the Japanese emperor.
In the epoch, the crossing of species was specialty of certain clans, each which with his own approach. The horses of the clan Nambu, in particular, earned noticeable fame by all the Japan.
Those animals were apparently more less than the species europeans or Arabian, but extremely strong, fast and capable of perform highly sophisticated maneuvers. They were had as "notoriously of bad temperament"; was necessary have an experienced hand tame-them, mainly in the uproar of a battle. The old one bushi, as the warlike Mongol, had a lot ability in tame that animal. He dressed a special armor (a-yoroi) when mounted. It was a functional and lighter armor that it developed in the century XVII, when the armor became predominantly decorative.
It was basically to same armor that he used when on foot, with the addition of certain articles, as the peculiar waistcoat (horo), caneleiras (sune-keeps), and protectors of thighs (haidate), for compensate the disadvantage of be in position elevated and, consequently, become easy aim for the enemy swords during the battle.
To the contrary one of the mounts of the European riders of the Medium Age, the horse of the bushi be not dressed with a heavy armor. His head be protected with a mask of iron, steel or leather, molded in its format or representing mythic monsters. The armor of the body of the animal was composed by small sheets of leather sewn about a fabric. It added itself the saddle, stirrups, reins and brake, that helped the rider it control its mount.
The art of the horseback riding in land is known by jobajutsu or simply bajutsu, while the horseback riding in rivers is called of suieijutsu or suibajutsu.
Each one of those modalities I possessed several traditional techniques, that differ of the europeans. By example, the bushi generally mounted for right interest, throwing his weight about the heel and not in the tip of the feet, as is done in the Europe. The Warrior held the reins with both the hands until be promptly for fight the enemy, when then he laced them to rings and clasps in the own armor and controlled the horse with the knees.
The path of movement of the rider in enemy lines was irregular, so that he did not go reached by the goalkeepers. Nearby the enemy base, he did use of his swords and spears, if moving between enemy groups or grappling with another warrior mounted. In that kind of meeting, both utilized his mounts in total mobility and coordination, as itself were about the ground. Under great conditions, the horse would be so tuned with the personality of his driver that would act instinctively, advancing and recoiling us certain moments.
Even to the night, the horses were used for trot silently, and also were coached for will cross streams, rivers and lakes, for maneuvers in waters near to the houses of the military clans.
The military horseback riding had big effect in the Bugei, not barely as a military specialization but because involved all the other martial arts like strategic support. It would arch, the arts with weapons in general and techniques of battle without weapons straightly were affected, so much by the viewpoint of two riders being faced like by the viewpoint of a rider against a warrior in him soil.
The riders employed all the techniques of the Bujutsu for the situation mounted. It would arch equestrian, by example, was a sub-specialization of the Kyujutsu high developed. They were developed special techniques of sword, spear and to even of battle disarmed against an individual mounted. To even the horses were wholesales without mercy, for that the rider came to the ground.
The use of the horse in the battles left of be a determinant factor in the Japan before even though in the Europe. The high costs of maintenance of the horses and the geographical prominence of the archipelago nipônico, full of mountains, did not favor the development of a big cavalry of war, as was common in the Asia Central, Europe and Middle East. After it Was Modern, the Bajutsu practically disappeared.

14 - Kankyo Jutsu
Japanese word that has like literal translation "art of the environment". It taught by the old masters, the art of the Kankyo Jutsu aimed at the utilization of the environment as weapon help.
It obtain itself move in a tight or too spacious localities is not so easy task that should be despised.
The beginning of the Kankyo Jutsu occurred due to the need of the battles in forests, towns, villages, cowsheds etc.
It was Tokugawa was marked by the constant evolution of the thought of war.
Several they were the Ryu that developed in their teachings to ambientalizaão and awareness of the space offered by the moment of the conflict.
The idea of that a warrior always should be ready obliged the class samurai older it develop certain strategic beginnings that would be applied in determined localities.
Many they attributed important victories to knowledge that were added the arts as Heiho, Bajutsu, Kyujutsu between other.
Doubtless, in a field of battle defeated the army more well prepared.
Such art was a lot utilized by the secret class that exercised the protection to Ieyasu Tokugawa, always being positioned us debris of the castle or even in rooms with false bottom and utilizing attributes that facilitated the retreat of such leader in case of an unexpected war.
The Kankyo Jutsu was to main weapon utilized by big strategists that cited in his passages the difficulties offered by the land.
