is the Japanese martial art of bayonet fighting, and has been likened to kendo (but with bayonets instead of swords).
According to Tanaka Fumon, jūkendō techniques are based on Japanese sojutsu (spear fighting) and 19th century French bayonet fighting techniques. However, according to French jūkendō researcher Baptiste Tavernier, jūkendō techniques are mostly based on the teachings and influence of the French military missions to Japan at the beginning of the Meiji era.
