		Nuclear weapons have been at the heart of many national and international political disputes and have played a major part in popular culture since their dramatic public debut in the 1940s and have usually symbolized the ultimate ability of mankind to utilize the strength of nature for destruction.
		Some weapons are designed for special purposes; a neutron bomb is a nuclear weapon that yields a relatively small explosion but a relatively large amount of prompt radiation; these could theoretically be used to cause massive casualties while leaving infrastructure mostly intact.
		The detonation of a nuclear weapon is accompanied by a blast of neutron radiation.

		Daito ryu is also the primary source and inspiration for another derivative art, one that has become known the world over as aikido.
		Daito ryu's existence also indicates that not all early jujutsu systems existed merely as an adjunct to weapon arts.
		It was around 1922 that Takeda first began referring to his teachings as "Daito ryu Aikijujutsu." Prior to this time, he merely referred to Daito ryu as a system of jujutsu, as evidenced by his early ledgers which contain such notations as "Daitoryu Jujutsu Hombu cho" (Daito ryu Jujutsu Director of headquarters).

	Jujitsu (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		In Japan the warrior (military) class of samurai (bushi) were usually highly skilled in the use of several weapons, and it was through these weapons that the outcome of battle was decided, the most common being the sword.
		It is here, as an adjunct to swordsmanship, that techniques such as striking with the butt handle of the weapon, using the elbows and even strategically bumping an engaged opponent with the shoulder and torso entered into the syllabus of many weapons systems as techniques onto themselves.
		This is not to say that without his primary weapon the samurai was unarmed, for many techniques existed within the repertoire for restraining or immobilizing an individual in preparation for a "Coup de Grace" to an appropriate weak point, and usually delivered by a secondary weapon such as the Yoroi Doshi (armor piercing dagger).
