Jittejutsu (十手術) is the Japanese martial art[1] of using the Japanese weapon jitte (also known as jutte in English-language sources).[2] Jittejutsu was evolved mainly for the law enforcement officers of the Edo period[3] to enable non-lethal disarmament and apprehension of criminals who were usually carrying a sword.[4] Besides the use of striking an assailant on the head, wrists, hands and arms like that of a baton, the jitte can also be used for blocking, deflecting and grappling a sword in the hands of a skilled user.[5]
There are several schools of jittejutsu today and various jitte influences and techniques are featured in several martial arts.[6]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
