Secret Weapons of Jujutsu (Tuttle Martial Arts)

Secret Weapons of Jujutsu (Tuttle Martial Arts)

During the relative peace of the Tokugawa Era, though, the sword was often considered unsuitable or was even unavailable for use in certain situations. Furthermore, non-samurai townsmen, including feudal era police assistants, were prohibited from carrying swords. Both samurai and townsmen frequently had to rely on alternative non-lethal weapons for personal defense, including the creative use of many common, everyday objects.

"Secret Weapons of Jujutsu" is the first book to appear in English that offers a detailed introduction to exotic defensive weapons like the tessen and jutte as well as other hibuki, or "concealed weapons." Topics include the history and development of such weapons, as well as the philosophical and practical reasons for employing non-lethal alternatives.

The tessen, literally meaning "iron fan," was either an actual folding fan with metal ribs or a non-folding solid bar made of either iron or wood and shaped like a folded fan. The tessen was considered a symbol of authority as well as a common self-defense weapon for extraordinary situations.

The jutte was an iron truncheon carried by feudal era police officers and their non-samurai assistants. Edo Period police developed many weapons and techniques against criminal violators, who were usually armed and frequently desperate. Essentially a defensive or restraining weapon, the jutte was popular because it could parry the slash of a razor-sharp sword and disarm an assailant without serious injury.

"Secret Weapons of Jujutsu" provides an introduction to the defensive techniques of tetsushaku-jutsu, or the use of a one shaku long metal or wood weapon to disarm or disable an attacker. Techniques illustrated are from several different Japanese martial art traditions which incorporate aspects of tetsushaku-jutsu. "Secret Weapons of Jujutsu" will be a valuable learning tool and resource for all classical Japanese martial arts practitioners.

• Review:: 'Great Japanese Weapons Book In his first book, Don Cunningham places considerable emphasis on the history and use of the jutte. It has lots of great pix of various jutte & other related weapons. This is an essential book for your library if you're into weapons.
• Review:: 'Waste of money.. Expected something special and ended up with a picture collection. Mostly Jutte. Nothing on any of the other myriad of secret weapons out there. [...]
• Review:: 'An outsider's look at Japan I'm afraid this book disappointed me. Far from being a comprehensive work on Japanese weapons, the weapons covered are extremely limited. Cunningham seems to have only covered weapons contained in 'the author's personal collection'. There's a few lines about this and that, but no detail at all about anything.

  I found this book very much an 'outsider's' look at Japan, giving small pieces of information on Japanese history and culture. As a long-time resident of Japan and martial arts practitioner, however, I found the book rather shallow and lacking insider's insight. I had trouble understanding why some of the sections, such as the recounting of the well-known story of the 47 Ronin had anything to do with 'secret weapons of jujutsu'. Some of the illustrations also puzzled me, not seeming relevant to the text.

  My conclusion; If you know nothing about Japan and its martial history, maybe it's an interesting read. If you know a little already, there's nothing new here.

• Review:: 'Excellent Mr Cunningham is a spectacular author and gives great detail into his writings. I have read many writings of Don, both in magazines and on message boards and he is very well detailed and factual. I recommend this book to anyone wanting to read the history of Japanese weaponary.
• Review:: 'Well researched and well written Cunningham Sensei provides a great deal of information and technique on a seldom explored aspect of traditional Jujitsu. The text and illustrations are excellent and demonstrate Cunningham's obvious knowledge and experience.

Ancient Chinese Weapons, Second Edition- The Martial Arts Guide

Ancient Chinese Weapons, Second Edition

The Martial Arts Guide:

• Review:: 'Inaccurate This book seems to be based on Hong Kong movies. full of historic inaccuracies. It only goes to show, being an expert in martial arts does not make sure one is an expert in history of arms and armor. Only people not familiar with this field of study can think it is any good. Speak to any expert in this field and they will tell you to skip this book.
• Review:: 'the Scud missile of arms and armor reference books... ...as in "inaccurate and of limited effectiveness". Though intended as an introduction to the subject, this book is so superficial and shoddily-written that it misleads more than it educates the reader. Although a table of Chinese characters is included, a non-Chinese reader will be confused and misinformed by the non-standard transliterations of terms used by the author. There are some weapons, such as dart-launching devices, which are found in kung fu movies and old fables. In several cases (such as seen under the entry for "halberd", the same name is applied to arms whose configurations are distinctly different, and which in old military texts such as the WUJING ZONGYAO and WUBEIZHI are described with different names. The author also seems unaware that a weapon he calls the "Guandao" is never called that in classic military books; the proper term is "Yinyuedao" (reclining moon knife). The classification of sabers (the author calls them "dau") is hopelessly inadequate. It does not cover the principal blade shapes nor does it address handle length. The author's implying that they are "wide bladed" is ludricous since this ignores the fact that most types of sabers used during the late Imperial period (the liuyedao, yanmaodao, piandao, zhanmadao, miaodao, and others) had relatively narrow blades which tapered to a point. [A far better introduction to Chinese sabers can be found in Philip Tom's "Some Notable Sabers of the Qing Dynasty at the Metropolitan Museum of Art", Metropolitan Museum JOURNAL., Vol. 36. For edged weapons of a much earlier period, try Yang Hong's WEAPONS IN ANCIENT CHINA, NY/Beijing: Science Press 1992]. These are just a few examples which hopefully will persuade potential buyers to pass on this turkey and keep their wallets in their pockets.
• Review:: 'Folklore that is Not Historically Accurate Though popular with Martial Artists unfamiliar with Chinese History, this book is so full or errors that it should not be kept in print. The entire work seems to be based on little more than the folklore surrounding Chinese martial arts. The author did not consult primary Chinese langauge sources (even though he is Chinese) and has no bibliography AT ALL. For accuarte information concerning Chinese Arms and Swordsmanship see the Chinese Swords and Swordsmanship Forum at: www.swordforum.com
• Review:: 'A visually striking survey "Ancient Chinese Weapons: A Martial Artist's Guide," by Jwing-Ming Yang, is a survey of a large number of weapons. The book is full of drawings and informative text. Spears, sabers, tridents, shields, and other types of offensive and defensive devices are covered.

  In addition to discussing more familiar types of weapons, the book depicts such bizarre looking devices as the Wolf Brush, the Iron Claw and the Flying Claw. There are also weapons with such evocative names as the Heaven-Earth Sun-Moon Saber and the Zi Wu Mandarin Duck Axe. Particularly interesting is the coverage of non-weapons that evolved into weapons, such as cymbals or chopsticks. The book is clearly written, logically organized, and visually appealing.

• Review:: 'Grrrrrrrrrrrrreat! This book is essential for every martial artist or anyone interested in ancient weapons. True, this book does not supply the reader with any technique, but it covers the history and development of every weapon I can think of . It is written clearly, with large illustrations. What more, It gives you the English and Chinese name of the weapon, as well as the Chinese character. Dr. Yang certainly knows what he's talking about. All around, an excellent, comprehensible reference on ancient chinese weapons.
