Taiho-jutsu: Arresting Arts of Police and Military Jeffrey A. Kaplan

Police and military have very specialized and specific needs to enable them in their daily responsibilities to protect and serve. Taiho-Jutsu fills this need. Sections of this book examine the foundations and formation of taiho-jutsu, pioneers of taiho-jutsu, basic concepts and principles of taiho-jutsu, weapons used by law-enforcement and military, and specialized self-defense techniques applicable to police and military armed and unarmed combat. Additionally, there is a look at historical forerunners of modern day defense methods, martial arts which may be supplementary and complementary to taiho-jutsu and combative measures, and the relationship of taiho-jutsu to other martial arts. Each chapter presents a different aspect of the art and science of arresting techniques as it applies to law-enforcement and the armed forces.
