Anbo-jyutsu is a combat sport very popular within the Federation by the mid-24th century. The blind Alpha Centauran gymnast Kathar Eltrin invented this specialized school of staff-fighting in 2168. It remains more popular on Alpha Centauri as a performance art rather than a martial art, but Centaurans in Starfleet have returned it to its efficient roots. Anbo-jyutsu stresses kinesthetics, balance, and keen senses. (Decipher RPG module: Starfleet Operations Manual)

In 2373, Kes and B'Elanna Torres participated in several anbo-jyutsu matches on the USS Voyager's holodeck, as a means of channeling some of the anger and frustration that was building inside Kes's mind since her possession by the Ilari warlord, Tieran. However, both competitors decided that a combat sport wasn't the best way for Kes to deal with it. (VOY short story: "Winds of Change")

Moves and channelsEdit

Jyutsu senseEdit

One channels the input of one's senses more fully into one's strikes, and acts fluidly upon the many subtle cues of sound and motion received. (Decipher RPG module: Starfleet Operations Manual)

Anbo DurEdit

The most common move in Anbo-jyutsu, a sweeping blow brought between the attacker's legs for maximum interference with movement. (Decipher RPG module: Starfleet Operations Manual)

Pranha JyutsuEdit

One hears the opponent's moves and subconsciously translates the audible signal into reflexive muscle action. (Decipher RPG module: Starfleet Operations Manual)

Anbo ChohrEdit

By listening to the opponent's breathing, one can find their most vulnerable spot for a debilitating blow.

Hachidan KiritsuEdit

An illegal move, which involves striking the opponent squarely in the back with the intent to disable him. (TNG episode: "The Icarus Factor")
