General Characteristics of Our Teaching:

1. Focus on police application:
Taihojutsu centers around practical and effective techniques for law enforcement use. The techniques are designed to allow members of the State Security Forces and Private Security personnel to protect, safeguard, and detain individuals in a consistent, timely, proportional, and safe manner.

2. Immobilization and control techniques:
Taihojutsu includes a variety of techniques to immobilize and control an individual without causing unnecessary harm. This can involve grips, joint locks, and other control methods.

3. Adaptability to various situations:
The techniques of Taihojutsu are designed to adapt to a variety of situations in which practitioners face different types of scenarios and incidents.

4. Emphasis on safety:
While the goal is to control and detain an individual, Taihojutsu places a strong emphasis on safety for both the police officer or security guard and the detained person. The aim is to minimize the risk of injury as much as possible.

5. Influence from other martial arts and systems:
Taihojutsu incorporates elements from other Japanese martial arts in its approach. In our case, the influence comes from the Japanese martial art Taijutsu, with a functional, non-sportive, and non-competitive orientation, alongside methods of personal defense in police interventions, security, and protection.

6. Emphasis on efficiency:
Given that the situations in which these techniques are used are often fast-paced and potentially dangerous, Taihojutsu focuses on techniques that are effective and can be executed quickly and efficiently. All of this is practiced through simulated scenarios that closely resemble real-life situations under stressful conditions, conducted in a safe environment with non-harmful equipment and resources.
