Hiya all,
Does anyone know about the jo techniques used by Japanese police? Is the jo used to restrain or incapacitate felons? The only jo I have witnessed is the more destructive strikes and blows used in jodo/jojutsu.
Cheers,
Scott

I think so to. I think it was Shimizu Takaji (among others of his generation) that taught a modified version of jodo in Tokyo police-dojos more suited for police duties.Originally Posted by RobertRousselot

You lost me here. Why do we need to PM? Is this some secret that can't be answered here in the forum? I'm actually interested in this answer, too.Originally Posted by RobertRousselot
Thanks,
Just a few relevant articles:

Do the Japanese police still study jodo or do they study a modified version in keijojutsu? Or do they study both?
Thanks,

Hm..I can't qoute any sources, but I have a tiny fragment of memory that says the jo has slowly gone out of style ever since the war and is being replaced by more modern weapons & techniques. Not sure if it applies to riot-police though.Originally Posted by Mark Murray

Ah oki, my bad then. I can't remember where I heard of it, but the above mentioned was the impression I got.Originally Posted by RobertRousselot

Yep, Robert is spot-on. Every cop I saw had a piddly little gun and a chuffin' big stick.
Just can't imagine them applying restraint with a jo - just a good beating...
My (former) aikido-sensei showed me a few moves to restrain a suspect with a jo...or rather he demonstrated it on me. Quite effective actually! I had a pain in my shoulder for 2 days afterwards. :POriginally Posted by ScottUK

I believe a number of officers (if not all of them) undergo training in taihojutsu, which incorporates techniques from jodo, aikido, kendo and Wado Ryu karate. The weapons they train with include the baton and jo.

Several years ago I was invited to watch the local police station put on a martial arts demo. Among the above mentioned I saw them do some sort of "art" that included punching and kicking but I wouldn't really call it "karate".
