TAIHO JUTSU - First Dan Program Jose Caracena

In this book we present the program of Taiho Jutsu thru First (1st) Dan, dividing this study into 12 technical chapters. In our previous book "Taiho Jutsu" we explained the history, evolution, and traditions of Taiho Jutsu. In this book we have focused on the degree or rank program. Most of the techniques for 1st dan are simple and commonly known to most martial artists and security professionals but then what makes taiho jutsu different? The answer is that in this Japanese police method or system the "excellence of the technique" is sought along with the refinement of all the movements and the hidden details that improve the effectiveness of these police defensive tactics. Many police systems ignore the basis, principles, and technical foundations. In taiho jutsu programs, a special reinforcement of these aspects is made. The program up thru First (1st) Dan is therefore simple, intuitive and with logical sequences of defense. In the higher degree (dan) programs, progress is made in the more complex skills and elaborate study of ancient traditions and their evolution as well as today's modern police tactics and self-defense.
