Welcome to Taiho Jutsu Namibia, you really made the right decision to join the winning martial art style practiced worldwide.
Needless to go deep into the origin
of Taiho Jutsu, however; in brief, Taiho Jutsu means plainly
the martial art of arresting and that’s the main reason it’s called police self-defence.
It’s a combination of nearly all Japanese martial arts styles, particularly:
Judo, Aikido, Ju-Jutsu, Karate, Ninjutsu, Kendo, Kempo, and Sumo; all neatly
crafted into one style commonly known as Taiho Jutsu.
Training
is aligned on three main aspects such as, Kata:
(the formal demonstration of techniques which is required at all levels from
beginner to black belt), Street fighting:
(self-defence applications) and Competition
sparring: (practical fighting mainly based on Tomiki Aikido).
Grading
examinations start from yellow belt onward to black belt ten (10) stripes. Even
though, currently, Taiho Jutsu Namibia can only grade students from yellow to san-dan,
3rd Dan stripe black belt, and the rest as from shi-dan, 4th
Dan stripes to the 10th Dan black belt would be done abroad in
England, America, or Japan.
Nonetheless,
Taiho Jutsu is a martial art that focuses on restraining the aggressor without
causing unnecessary damage to the adversary. The confrontation, control, and
restraining of the culprit are done having in mind your safety and that of your
attacker because it’s not necessary to injure them if you can safely and
confidently restrain them prior to handing them over to the police if required
to do so.
Of
course, deadly force in Taiho Jutsu is taught to be avoided at all times. And
basically avoiding deadly force in Taiho Jutsu comes naturally that even when
you’re attacked by a well-trained Ninja assailant, you’ll strive to restrain
him or her without injuring them. But you might lose a finger or two to their
sword if not careful because it’s not easy to disarm and eventually restrain a
well-trained Ninja!
As
for the payments to obtain Taiho Jutsu lessons in Windhoek for now, we have
three clubs; one for the beginners, the other one for the semi-beginners, and
the third one for advanced classes. And that comes with different payment
rates, of which the club for the beginners costs relatively low, so that all
those interested in taking up Taiho Jutsu would find it reasonably cheaper to
do so. In simple terms, people under 18 years old do pay only N$18.75, and
adults pay N$37.50 per each training session of one hour X2 required training
sessions a week for better results.
Our
clubs are open for classes Mondays to Fridays from 10:00 to 18:00, and
Saturdays to Sundays from 14:00 to 16:00 throughout the year except Christmas
day. So it’s up to you to choose which two days in a week you would want to
train during those training slots! For instance, you could choose to train on
Monday and Thursday for one hour each training session from either 10:00 to
11:00 or whatever! There will be other people to train with you in that time slot
or whatever time slot you may choose to train, and where there is none; you’ll
attend training by yourself one on one with your trainer/s.
As
for now prior to joining Taiho Jutsu Namibia, what you need is a tracksuit and
running shoes, and you’ll buy yourself a Judo and eventually karate suit as
time goes on. And as for the payments, you can pay for all eight (8) training
sessions in advance for the whole month or pay cash each time you attend
classes. But in any case, it’s good manners to inform us in advance as to which
days and time slots in a week you would want to train so that we could expect and arrange your
training sessions beforehand.
Kind
regards,
Sensei
Joseph Sambi.
