Kenpo: An Illustrated Instructor's Manual

A translation of a 120 year-old (published in 1899) self-defense manual with 16 Kenpo (Jujutsu) techniques. It was intended to be a curriculum for police, military or anyone who wanted a form of self-defense. The 16 techniques were originally published in 1888 however, for this edition, the explanations have been dramatically expanded and new illustrations added. A great look at how Jujutsu was presented in Japan 120 years ago. History: In 1888 a Samurai named Hisatomi Tetsutaro consulted with numerous schools of Jujutsu and formulated a set of arresting techniques and titled his book "The Police Officer's Essential Illustrated Guide: Kenpo." In this era Kenpo and Jujutsu (Jiu-jitsu) meant the same thing. This book was originally only available to police officers, however it was later released to the general public. This book, "Kenpo: An Illustrated Instructor's Manual," by Inoguchi Matsunosuke expands on the techniques gathered by Hisatomi Tetsutaro and added new, clearer illustrations. In addition, this book includes several resuscitation techniques as well as Hojo, or rope restraining techniques. Kenpo: An Illustrated Instructor's Manual offers a unique chance to see how early Jujutsu was practiced in Japan 120 years ago.
