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.

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.
