Introduction

Ikkaku Ryu Jutte Jutsu is the skill of the forked

truncheon. The jutte was often used for law enforcement

during the Tokugawa Period for disarming and controlling suspects. The short fork near the handle is used for trapping a sword and can actually break the blade. This style also incorporates the Tessen (鉄扇), iron fan.
