, or just is the traditional Japanese martial art of restraining a person using cord or rope (called in Japanese), as a precursor to modern-day handcuffs. Encompassing many different materials, techniques and methods from various schools, hojōjutsu is a classic Japanese art that is a unique product of Japanese history and culture.
As a martial arts practice, hojōjutsu is rarely if ever taught on its own, but as part of a curriculum under the aegis of the body of study encompassed by a larger school of bugei or budō, often as an advanced study in jujutsu. Regardless of the source, hojōjutsu techniques and methods are rarely demonstrated outside Japan.
