This demonstration of Taiho Jutsu features Kusuo Hosokawa. He and Kikuchi were responsible for the Taiho-Jutsu instruction during the eight-week training programs for Air Force Combative Measures Instructors at the Kodokan. Karate instruction was provided by JKA instructors Nishiyama, Obata, Okazaki, and Terada. Judo instruction was provided by Kotani, Otaki, Takagake, Sato, Shinojima, and Yamaguchi. And Aikido instruction was led by Tomiki, along with Yamada and Inuzuka. The Strategic Air Command students attended class at the dojo for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, and at the end of the course had to compete against and be evaluated by ten Black Belts. Upon returning to the United States, these airmen became instructors at every SAC base where it was important to develop combatives courses for crewmen in training.
