Jitte Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
- This article is about a certain karate kata, for the Japanese weapon, see jitte (weapon).
Ji'in, Jion and Jitte form a group of katas beginning with the same characteristic kamae, which apparently has roots in ancient Chinese boxing. In Jitte is understood the idea that its mastery will permit one to face ten adversaries. Its origin is from the Tomari-te school. Some claim that the name, Jitte, is derived from the position of the raised fists, resembling a type of sai known as a jitte, which occurs a number of times in the kata. This rather short kata of only 24 movements contains a number of defenses against the bo, as well as some secret techniques, but the number of interpretations do not end there.
