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)

[edit] I think you're referring to a meteor hammer here

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.

[edit] 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)

[edit] Thank you, Danimal

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?

[edit] 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)
