Discover the history, tradition, and foundations of Japanese Tantō-Jutsu.

In this first volume, Dani FAYNOT Sensei explores the evolution of the Japanese Tantō, from its origins in feudal Japan to its place in modern martial arts. The book examines its role in Japanese bu-jutsu and koryū, its relationship with the samurai, and the traditions that shaped its use as a martial weapon.

Richly illustrated with photographs and illustrations, the book also introduces the essential foundations of Tantō-Jutsu practice: Rei-Hō (etiquette), Tantō-Tebiki (handling), Battō-Nōtō (drawing and sheathing), Kamae (guards), and Ashi-Sabaki (footwork).

More than a historical study, this volume establishes the technical and cultural foundations needed to understand the practice of Tantō-Jutsu. It provides the groundwork for Volume 2, which moves into advanced techniques, strategic principles, and practical combat applications.

A valuable reference for martial artists, practitioners of Japanese weapons, students of martial history, and anyone interested in the traditions of the Japanese Tantō.
