	Jitte (weapon) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nowadays, the jitte is the subject of the japanese martial art of Juttejutsu.
		The original form of the jitte is traditionally believed to have been created by the legendary swordmaker Masamune; it resembled its name of "ten hands", having that many prongs, and resembling a rake.
		A variant on this design is the marohoshi, also known as the marohoshi jitte, which is generally shorter and incorporates a blade.

	Jion kata group - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ji'in, Jion, and Jitte form a group of kata used in Shotokan and other karate styles, beginning with the same characteristic kamae, which apparently has roots in ancient Chinese boxing.
		In Jitte (translated: "ten hands") is understood the idea that its mastery will permit one to face ten adversaries.
		Some claim that the name, Jitte, is derived from the position of the raised fists, resembling a type of sai known as a jitte, which occurs a number of times in the kata.

		Its primary purpose in the deck is to facilitate the abuse of Umezawa's Jitte.
		They have a chance of establishing Jitte superiority with Hearth Kamis, but this is counteracted by the fact that getting two counters on a Jitte against them is functionally like drawing two cards (typically two counters will nullify two burn spells or kill two of their creatures).
		Assuming Jitte equality, their plan is to stifle your offensive opening with Sachi to hide the board and quickly accelerate into broken fat things, typically Seshiro with a small army of Snakes to back him up.

	www.MtgNews.com - March Banned Restricted Update
		Jitte is banned in the MODO Tribal Wars format, and they posted Mirrodin Block Contructed's banned list, presumable for online play.
		while jitte isn't broken, that reality of the card indicates that it's about as close as possible for a card whcih is clearly not.
		I do not think think jitte should be banned in any format but it should be restricted to 1 per deck though 2 common at tourneys so need for restriction.

	Taking a closer look: Overrated cards - MTG Salvation
		Jitte can kill large creatures, multiple creatures, regenerating creatures and creatures your creature is in combat with.
		Jitte seems overall more effective (especially since the lifegain effect hasnt been taken into account), so one has to consider in what situations SoFI is better.
		Jitte loses a lot of its playability after turn 4, due to the fact that, by that time, control already has its base up, and can handle it, and aggro pretty much already had the game decided.

	Wizards Community - Fixing Jitte?
		Jitte can prove to be fatal for decks that can't deal with it very well.
		I believe this simple change would tone down the jitte a couple of notches, to a point of still being very good and extremely playable, rather than its current level of insane power.
		Jitte is a step in the right direction from Skullclamp, but it isn't quote at the point where they can make (powerful) equipment on a regular basis.

	Umezawa’s Jitte (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Even gaining life with the Jitte is fine – creature races can become very hard for an opponent to win if you can not only use the Jitte to pick off their best creatures but also suddenly gain life if a burn spell tries to hit you.
		Since the Jitte gains the counters during combat damage, a creature with first strike is even better suited to equip it than any other.
		While the Jitte can certainly find a home in decks of those colors (and hopefully will find its way into Toshiro Umezawa decks as a great means of triggering his ability), it shines in places where creature kill is scarce.

	TherionArms - Japanese jitte police baton (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Here's a modern reproduction of an interesting and unusual weapon - the jitte, a baton with side hook traditionally used by feudal-era Japanese policemen as a sword-catcher disarming weapon.
		In a class-conscious stratified society, you definetly have a problem when your cops are ranked much lower on the social scale than some of the drunken rowdies they need to deal with - such was the case in Japan in the late feudal period.
		The jitte was the main response to "how do you keep "superior" sword weilding members of society from harming your poor low-caste policeman and other folks?

	Rulings on Umezawa's Jitte
		On his turn, he revealed Putrefy with the Confidant's ability, and removed the counter from the Jitte to gain two life, putting him at four life before he lost three from revealing the Putrefy.
		The Jitte does not have to be equipped to a creature in order to use its activated ability.
		This is because the source of this ability is the Jitte and not the equipped creature.

		In fact, Umezawa’s Jitte decks are more prevalent in the top eight then Affinity ever was (although it is broken up into three archetypes instead of one).
		Whether Umezawa’s Jitte should be banned is actually a very complex argument, although a lot of people seem to believe otherwise.
		In fact, Jitte advantage is so ridiculous that my red deck (which overall is very bad against aggro) won 80% of its games against White Weenie and Black Aggro where it had Jitte out for two or more turns.

		I have a Jitte on the board but do not play it in case he is holding a Needle to call on my Vials.
		I would play 4 Jitte main, in aggro vs aggro, it usually comes down to who plays it first and keeps it out the longest.
		Although it relies heavily on Umezawa's Jitte and Pithing Needle, it is still a very fast, controlling and aggressive deck that I am very impressed with.

	FightingArts.com - Roots Of Shotokan: Funakoshi's Original 15 Kata - Part 3: Seisan, Wanshu, Chinto, Jitte & Jion Kata
		As already seen in the Chinto section of this article, Jitte is said to have been taught by a Chinese castaway in the Tomari (the small seaport town nearest Shuri, the capital of Okinawa) region.
		Although many of the applications of Jitte in the modern Shotokan world seem to rely upon empty hand defenses against a stave-wielding attacker, some believe that Jitte may actually be descended from a bojutsu kata (Iwai, 1992).
		Again, Jion is said to have some connection with Jitte and Jiin, but exactly what that connection is, remains unclear and the object of intense curiosity among karate researchers.

		The only reason it's not maindecked is that you sometimes just need to outrace them and not waste time killing their things- this deck has a lot of straight to head damage that shouldn't be tampered with, unless it's going to eliminate the opposing win condition.
		The first game is a pretty expected win- you have jitte to buff you own creatures, kill theirs, and if they don't get a Burning-Tree Shaman, they don't have a chance.
		Their only method, Pyroclasm, means that you have no Moldervine Cloak and no umzawa's jitte equipped, which is rare considering you carry playsets of both.

	VN Boards - Mace question: Jitte
		yes i can, there wa a fire jitte in the sc market last night, it was a 300 wield and had plus 20% melee def,with no tinks or imbues.
		Thy do max out at +20 Melee but I think damage is still capped at 32, or whatever a regular "Mace" is. In fact, that's speculation on my part as I'm unsure there is such a thing as a 325 wield jitte, which would cap their damage at 25-ish.
		I know I have seen some wield 325 jitte's, and checked there meleed, just to verify (this was before I seen this post) that they did go over 15.

		Basically this is the fastest beatdown deck in the format packed with solid early plays and abuses the Jitte the best.
		Jitte gets put to work as a creature booster as well as removal that was much lacking from White.
		As I mentioned at the top, The Jitte is king in this format and being able to destroy opposing Jittes while having a Jitte of your own is just great.
