In 1888 a Samurai named Hisatomi Tetsutaro consulted with numerous schools of Jujutsu and formulated a set of arresting techniques and titled his book "The Police Officer’s Essential Illustrated Guide : Kenpo." In this era Kenpo and Jujutsu (Jiu-jitsu) meant the same thing. This book was originally only available to police officers.Later Inoguchi Matsunosuke published, "Kenpo : An Illustrated Instructor’s Manual." Inoguchi, kept the same set of 16 techniques but expands the explanations for each technique and added new, clearer illustrations. In addition, this book includes several resuscitation techniques as well as Hojo, or rope restraining techniques.
