What Is Gunji Taiho Jutsu?
Gunji Taiho Jutsu can loosely be translated into Japanese as Military Body Control/Arresting Technique.
Modern Taiho-jutsu (Arresting Technique) was introduced to the U.S. when the Strategic Air Command began sending combative measures instructors to the Kodokan in Japan for eight-week training programs. The course was a Japanese-designed mix of jujutsu, judo, karate, aikido and taiho-jutsu.

Testimonial For GTJ
High Level Endorsement From The Top Taiho Jutsu and Defensive Tactics Instructor In This Country.
"Professor Tony Pacenskiā€™s Gunji Taiho Jutsu online university is an outstanding resource for Security Forces, military police, or anyone going downrange. The different combative programs in the Arm Forces are an excellent introduction to the application of force and self-defense. However, once the course is over, the skills learned will diminish without continuing practice, the skills are perishable without continuing training. With Gunji Taiho Jutsu online university, a military member can work with a partner and continue to build on the lessons learned. Technology has bridged the gap to bring excellent training to anyone who is looking to develop skills to keep them alive in the field. As a retired Security Forces Master Sergeant, and 8th degree black belt in Shudokan Taiho Jujitsu, who has taught Defensive Tactics for over 30 years, I fully endorse Prof. Pacenski and Gunji Taiho Jutsu.

Testimonial from a Gunji Taiho Jutsu Instructor
Endorsement from an experienced officer in the field and a Defensive Tactics Instructor. Now certified GTJ Instructor!
"Years ago, I began developing a law enforcement-specific martial arts curriculum. I wanted to write one that covered all the basics, was a comprehensive system (not just a weekend or week-long seminar), was continuous, and that I could get approved by CLEET (the certifying agency for Law Enforcement in Oklahoma), but I kept scrapping the curriculum. So, I started researching to see what other instructors were teaching and what other programs were available. I came across Professor Tony Pacenski's Gunji Taiho Jutsu program, and it literally had the blueprint set out for what I was looking for. (For those of you who don't know me. I have over 21 years of experience in law enforcement, spanning both the private sector and government. Police Officer, Corrections Officer, Jailer, Bouncer, Private Investigator, Bodyguard, unarmed and armed security, loss prevention, process server, etc. I hold black belts in BJJ, Judo, Jujitsu, and Taiho Jutsu. The program is ideal for all fields of Law Enforcement, both private and government, and is also an excellent self-defense program for everyday people seeking to develop a wide range of self-defense skills. After going through most of the curriculum, I decided that Gunji Taiho Jutsu is the system I want to teach for self-defense. (Thank you, Professor Tony Pacenski, for putting in all the work making the curriculum.) This week I was able to reach my original goal of getting a well rounded martial arts system approved by CLEET for Continual Education hours. A student, holding an active CLEET card, can earn 8 hours of training in Gunji Taiho Jutsu each month. (A new 8-hour block of training starting the first of every month. I teach the program 9 hours a week with classes at various times and days, so plenty of opportunities to achieve the hours.) I can hardly express how excited I am to be able to do this for Oklahoma Law Enforcement, government, and the private sector. After the first week in May, I will start Block 1 of training. Any student completing 8 hours of my BJJ Fundamentals/GTJ a month will receive 8 CE hours. There is a new block released every month (I have 15 blocks approved), allowing you to earn 8 hours of CE every month. The curriculum will start over every 15 months, material from the blocks will be reviewed throughout those 15 months, you do not have to complete the 15 months to get credit (you will get credit monthly if you complete the 8 hours), you will have the opportunity to test for belts in Taiho Jutsu. The tuition allows you to attend all daily classes, not just the Gunji Taiho Jutsu course. There are also textbooks available for the course through Amazon that are required, as recommended by Tony Pacenski."
