"Bajutsu" is a Japanese martial art that emphasizes horsemanship with an emphasis on strategy for combat. In English, "bajutsu" is rendered as "horse technique" or "horse skill." Historically, bajutsu was an essential component of the instruction of mounted warriors and samurai in Japan. It comprised a multitude of abilities, including mounted archery (kyōdō), spearmanship (kenjutsu), and equine swordsmanship (yarijutsu). Bajutsu is frequently studied as a historical discipline or incorporated into more comprehensive traditional Japanese martial arts curricula rather than being practiced as a distinct art form in the twenty-first century. However, a subset of enthusiasts and practitioners continues to pursue the investigation and preservation of bajutsu's philosophies and techniques.
