Master real tantō combat through structured classical Japanese bujutsu. The third volume in the series, Tantō-Jutsu Menkyō Shōden, presents the Shōden-level curriculum of Hadō Tantō Jutsu. It focuses on the classical Japanese tantō - a 30 cm short blade with tsuba - through a complete system of kata and applied combat methods. Built from realistic combat scenarios. This book develops precise responses under pressure. It is based on the core principles of classical bujutsu: distance (ma-ai), timing (hyōshi), and tactical engagement (sen). These principles structure perception, decision-making, and action under combat conditions. The curriculum also includes structured defensive applications against tanbō, hanbō, and jō. These weapons are integrated into a unified close-combat methodology derived from classical bujutsu transmission systems. This is not theory. It is a practical training framework for serious martial artists seeking depth, structure, and real combative understanding of tantō combat.
