Gunji Taiho Jutsu is a type system of Taiho Jutsu (Arresting Technique) that has roots in different cultures and Martial Arts styles. One goal of Gunji (Military) Taiho Jutsu was to act as a reformer to arresting technique.  The facts are many Taiho Jutsu systems, if you even know what the word means, do not work under stress.  Gunji Taiho Jutsu (GTJ) saw this issue as an opportunity to make changes.  The first thing that we did was develop the governing strategy of PCS 1, PCS 2, and PCS 3.  Having PCS as an operating system is an effective way to understand, see and apply arresting techniques.  It gives that Military Personnel or Officer stages and objectives for reaching goals.

PCS 3 essentially means Pin, Safety, and Communication.  With an effective pin, an Officer can apply cuffing techniques.  In GTJ, we have handcuffing methodologies that we called GTJ Direct Handcuffing Method.  This is a topic for a different day; however, GTJ Direct Handcuffing Methods will never be applied if...

Gunji Taiho Jutsu (GTJ) | Military Arresting Technique is a system of taiho jutsu that is a progressive way to teach Military or Law Enforcement personnel many of the traditional and contemporary jujutsu techniques of control and arrest while at the same time keeping mindful of secondary weapon systems during training and complementing all of the current and evolving Military Combatives programs in place for the different branches of the Military.  One aspect of GTJ that is complementary to many Combatives systems is the concept of finding central common themes.  The GTJ system will take this strategy or technique and expand on it.  In other words, challenge and test the technique under pressure.  A universal technique found in reality-based training, combatives, and arresting technique circles is the two on one arm-control position.  In Gunji University, this type of position is governed by the PCS 2 principles that are unique to GTJ.  PCS 2 stands for Position, Control and System of ...

NYPD Officer Attacked <<< Video of attack here.

After review of the video, we felt it would be informative to share one of our videos from Gunji University on how to assist and control the legs of a suspect during an arrest.  In Gunji Taiho Jutsu (GTJ), this stage of the arresting technique is called: PCS 3.  This is a classic situation where two officers work together to make the arrest successful.

Please take the time to watch our video from Gunji University.  Note that this specific video is from week-12 in the student curriculum and up until this point in the curriculum there are weeks of content, both written and videos, structured by design to build a student's knowledge base in GJT through Gunji University.  Also, this video only shows additional details on how to control...
