Rope arts/Hojojustsu?

I am a big fan of Hojojutsu. I have taken several classes on it years ago but I must say I am really out of practice. If you are looking for information you need to look at books out of Japan. I have many but the best one I have actually has you practice on sticks in order to become proficient with all the different knots and where you loop and tie the rope around the limbs and body. The other cool thing is it has LOTS of pictures. I don't know the name because it is written in Japanese but if you like I can scan in the cover and maybe someone can translate the name for you.

As far as someone saying it is out of date and there is no reason to use it. I would say anything in Martial Art's is out of date but that does not mean it is not cool. And by cool I mean awesome!
