Hojojutsu #1

Another art transmitted within Masaki-ryu Nakajima-ha is known as hojojutsu (arresting cord art). Once an assailant
was taken down by the feudal Japanese police, they would be bound with one of the cords you see below (from left,
torinawa/hojo, fundo-tsuki nawa, kan-tsuki nawa, and kaginawa). Restraint with each of these tools is actively taught
and practiced in line with juttejutsu in our school.

There are few extant schools of juttejutsu and hojojutsu today, with many of them transmitting these arts as separate
entities. Masaki-ryu Nakajima-ha is rare in that it transmits winning over an assailant with juttejutsu together with
restraint with hojojutsu as a complete combination.

正木流中島派が伝承するもう一つの武術に捕縄術があります。以下の写真の左から捕縄（ほじょう・とりなわ）、分銅付縄（ふんどうつきなわ）、鐶付縄（かんつきなわ）、鉤縄（かぎなわ）とありますが、当流ではそれぞれの扱い様が
十手術と連動した形で伝授、錬成されています。

現存する数少ない十手・捕縄術流派の中では、十手術と捕縄術が別々に伝わる流派が多いですが、正木流中島派は十手術で相手を制し、抑え、捕縄術で捕り押さえる要素が両方合わさった珍しい流派です。
