The To-Rei-kan (the house where the saber is saluted) is rooted in Japanese martial arts and modern fight sports. The effectiveness of the techniques is enhanced by the use of Kyusho-Jitsu, Kiai Jitsu, and many traditional weapons: Katana (Japanese sword), Boken (wooden sword), Yubibo (10 centimeters stick), Tambo (short stick), Jyo (128 centimeters stick), Bo (180 centimeters stick), Tanto (knife), Naginata (lance), Nunchaku, etc. Jean-Paul Bindel has practiced martial arts for over 50 years and is graduated in 15 martial art styles. He specialized in Kyusho Jitsu 15 years ago and has introduced this method in many European countries. In the late 80s he founded the French School of Budo and founded his own discipline, the Toreikan Budo. VPM-166
