Tanto Jutsu Martial Arts: Fundamentals And Methods Of Self-Defense: From Basics To Advanced Techniques

By: ZǏmò, Qiáng

Tantojutsu is a Japanese martial art that emphasizes the application of the tanto, which is a type of short-bladed dagger. Typically, the tanto is a traditional Japanese dagger with a blade length of no more than one shaku (approximately 12 inches or 30 centimeters).
Tantojutsu encompasses a diverse array of motions, such as thrusts, blocks, strikes, and countermeasures, which are frequently executed in conjunction with empty-hand techniques or alternative weaponry. Throughout history, samurai utilized tantojutsu as a fundamental component of their training. In circumstances where a longer sword was impracticable or as a backup weapon, tanto was frequently carried.
Tantojutsu practitioners prioritize the development of timing, speed, and accuracy in their techniques, in addition to a comprehension of distance, angle, and leverage principles. Forms (kata), partner exercises, and sparring may be incorporated into training, with an emphasis on self-defense applications in the real world.
Presently, tantojutsu can be studied independently or integrated into larger Japanese martial arts systems, including kenjutsu, ninjutsu, aikido, or kenjutsu (swordsmanship).
