"Shanghai Noon" method
Hey, didn't Jackie Chan use a method like this in "Shanghai Noon"? Might be worth mentioning, just to clarify the method to us common folk. Somebody who understands something about martial arts should check it out.--Elmeri B. Suokirahvi 18:48, 29 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi Elmeri, If memory serves, the Jackie Chan movie featured Chan's swinging a weighted rope or long cloth around and maneuvering it in a number of showy ways including kicking the weight, jerking the rope and feeding the line around the neck and limbs. This technique, which you also see "Go-Go" use in the first "Kill Bill" shows the use of the Meteor Hammer, an old, and seldom-seen Chinese weapon consisting of a metal weight at the end of a rope. Dubious schools of ninjutsu aside, Hojojutsu as I understand it did not generally involve using rope as a weapon to entangle an opponent before tying him and I cannot think that the two things are related.

Headings and links
I responded to the wikify template and have added headings and links to the first two sections --Dananimal 23:11, 29 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Danimal, thanks for adding the headings and links to my text. I had no idea how to do that and still don't. Do you think you'd be game for some photos should I ever get around to them? Sorokahdeen 09:56, 10 July 2006 (UTC) sorokahdeen

More material
An alternative article, "Hojo-Jutsu" was also written. As this article ("Hojojutsu") is a lot older and (in my uneducated opinion) also better, I deleted the content of "Hojo-Jutsu" and turned it into a redirect. The last version before I tampered with it is here. Those interested might find material of use within it. -- Hoary 07:07, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Japanese
Are you sure you have the correct characters for Hojo Jutsu? 捕縄術 = ho nawa jutsu. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.119.11.33 (talk) 18:01, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

This is indeed the correct kanji: 捕 can be read as "Tori" or "Ho", meaning "to grasp, capture, grab, etc.". 縄 can be read as "Nawa" or "Jō", meaning "rope". Thus 捕縄術 can be read as either Hojōjutsu or Torinawajutsu. Luke Crocker 00:25, 23 April 2019 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lukecrocker (talk • contribs)

Final comment not needed.
"Unfortunately for western practitioners, there are currently no known English translations of these works." This would assume no western practitioners can read Japanese, or all western practitioners read or prefer English. Either case is not true. The comment is not needed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.221.222.70 (talk) 15:57, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

Original Research
Most of this article is undocumented, and it appears to be original research. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.164.40.113 (talk) 22:03, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
