What Is Gunji Taiho Jutsu?

Gunji Taiho Jutsu can loosely translate in Japanese to 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 Pacenski’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.
