Hojojutsu: the other modern uses

[John Lindsey]

I just did a quick web search on hojojutsu, and came across this..ah..link:

From there, I jumped to:

A number of years ago, I think about 1991 or so, Don Angier told me that he had done a workshop on hojo for a group that was extremely interested in hojo. Paid very well and asked lots of questions. Maybe Bondage and Discipline groups wil be the last place to learn authentic hojo jutsu in the future. :)

There is a section in the Tsutsumi Ryu Sandan grading on Hojo Jitsu. It has a small number of techniques dealing with subduing and then tying a prisoner and removal from the scene. There are a few techniques which restrain a prisoner for transport over longer distances after they have been dealt with.
They are traditional in that they have been a part of the Tsutsumi Ryu for a long time but Tsutsumi does not use kata form for the training relying on reflex instead.
Hojo does exist but the only other example I have seen is the tapes from Don Angier.
Tsutsumi Ryu is only taught (as far as we know) in Perth Western Australia

Do the Don Angier videos you spoke of show one how to apply hojojutsu?

Yes they do but the models aren't as good as the ones in John's link! :D I thought it was hard finding people to practice with, I think I'm training with the wrong groups!

Mr Angiers tapes are ok but if your buying them I'd skip #1 and just get #2 as everything is pretty much repeated in that.
