Carried by the police in old Japan, the jitte was a versatile weapon that could be used to attack the neck and head of an opponent, but its primary use was a sword catcher and deflector. There are many stories of jittejutsu “masters” snapping katana blades or disarming their owners. Now available for the jiujutsu practitioner, the Jitte features a 10 3/4” round-section steel rod and a leather wrapped grip with a finger-width blade trapper.
