Ikkaku-ryu juttejutsu

Ikkaku-ryu juttejutsu (一�'流十手�") is a school of juttejutsu (or jittejutsu) that is fully integrated into the Japanese koryu martial art Shinto Muso Ryu. It is comprised of 24 kata divided into two series. It was created by the third SMR Shihanke, Matsuzaki Kinu'emon Tsunekatsu, and added to the main SMR system.

Ikkaku-ryu juttejutsu utilizes the jutte as a way of self-defense for use against an attacker armed with a sword (katana). It was mainly used by police-forces of the late Edo-period of Japan.

Some of the kata uses a Tessen, (war fan), in tandem with the jutte.
