The biggest mistake beginners make is not having enough rope! To get more rope for less money, see our Beginner/Intermediate Collections page!
Douglas Kent Hojojutsu Quick Ropes are beautifully crafted, beautiful to hold, and beautiful to behold. We're practically the only ones in the world that make them, too!
We start by splicing a loop into one end of our signature 6 mm blue jute. Then, we singe the entire length three times. Next, we lightly coat the length with mineral oil.
Though the spliced loop is already very strong, we add a whipping to reinforce the loop and keep it looking smooth.
We finish the other end with a simple whipping so that the rope end pulls quickly without catching.
Finally, as a special touch, we add a few extra drops of mineral oil on the inside of the bight to minimize wear and help loops tighten easily.
Our hojojutsu rope is designed both to reward good technique and to last.
"Quick ropes" in hojojutsu typically range from 4.5-7 m, with standard lengths being either 5 m or 7 m. Our rope is 5 m, the shortest common standard, for fast, simple ties.
In old Edo Period hojojutsu color scheme, some districts used blue rope to represent the most serious crimes. Black rope represented the worst criminals. You can decide if you're using blue rope with black whipping because your hojojutsu partners are kinda sketchy… if it's because blue rope with black whipping looks amazing… or both.
Edo Period also used other rope colors, but let's face it, if you're choosing a pink quick rope, it's because you like pink.
Whether you're serious about hojojutsu or just a rope fan experimenting with a more aggressive style, our Douglas Kent Hojojutsu Quick Rope is a beautiful and affordable choice that will reward good form and help make you a better, more effective hojojutsu artist.
