Tanto Jutsu?

[Stan]

Hi,
Does anyone know anything about Japanese knife fighting? I see of course many Filipino and modern knife systems, and Japanese "defense against a knife", but what about Japanese schools that actually train the knife? What does Japanese knife work look or feel like? Any video to demonstrate?

Thanks,
Stan

I will look for some Budo Taijutsu knife work on video for you. Basically, it generally is using taijutsu with a knife. Budo Taijutsu knife work is sneaky, effective and just lot's of fun.

Google Dick Severance. He is a Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu teacher. He is well known for his tantojutsu. I have trained with him numerous times.

Bugei Trading Company have a DVD on Tanto work by Soke Angier. There are some interesting and some not so interesting techniques shown. Not too bad as a reference
