Influential Pressure Points. What makes them so important?

* Influential Pressure Points

Influential Pressure Points: Today I am going to look at another set of "Special Pressure Points." This is extremely advanced information. There will be one more of these special pressure point sets after this coming soon. Special Purpose Pressure Points are points that do many different things. And this relates to the term Influential Pressure Points. They influence other parts of the body. 

We are interested in this from a destructive point of view. These have been reverse engineered from acupuncture. 

Influential Pressure Points - How They Work

These pressure points when activated affect certain meridian and organ groupings. The pressure points in these cases are activated by simple contact, but once contact is removed, the affect is gone also. However you do have approximately a 10 second delay before the effect is completely gone. 10 seconds is a long time! This is not related to pressure point activation, which is a much longer period of time.

Breakdown of Influential Pressure Points


1) Liver 13 (This affects the Yin Meridians on both sides of the body. It also has a direct
affect on the Yin organs of the body (Heart, Lung, Pericardium, Spleen, Liver and
Kidney) (Zang Organs).
LV-13 is also an Alarm Point, as are all of these. 

2) Conception 12 – this point affects the Yang Meridians on both sides of the boy. It also
has a direct affect on the Yang organs (Large Intestine, Small Intestine, Stomach, Gall
Bladder and Bladder) (Fu Organs).

3) Conception 17 – This point affects the Qi or Chi energy on the left side of the body making any strike to the left side having a greater effect. The left side of the body is also extremely important in Dim Mak

4) Bladder 17 – This point affects the Blood energy on the right side of the body making
any strike to the right side more effective. Another extremely important pressure point in the study of Dim Mak.

Influential Pressure Points

Influential Pressure Points while advanced knowledge are extremely important and have a profound effect on the body.  To use these first you must complete the basics, and have a very strong Kyusho Jitsu foundation. 

A great way to experiment with these is by activated them, then do strikes to the related area and note effect. 

Caution needs to be used as this is very powerful knowledge. And please do not overuse your Uke. There health is critical. If you are going to train with this information please consider take ing my Resuscitation Certification Course

Influential Pressure Points in Conclusion

Kyusho Article CONCLUSION

Kyusho Jitsu is an amazing journey! Yes there are simpler ways to do things. And there are a lot of Kyusho instructors doing this.  

But I prefer pressure points to be a learning experience. I try to learn something new everyday. And I am still learning new things all the time about Kyusho Jitsu. 

Dim Mak Theories to Street Applications is based on this information. Thank you for taking time to read about Influential Pressure Points.

Collateral Pressure Points. How the energy river runs.

( Collateral Pressure Points

Collateral Pressure Points: Today I am going to get into some seriously advanced Kyusho Jitsu. A few days ago I wrote an article on Confluent Pressure Points which I hope you got to read.  Collateral Pressure Points are a topic very few really know about or understand.

They are critical to the understanding and application of Dim Mak Principles and tie directly to another very difficult Principle of Kyusho Jitsu which is the 24 Hour Diurnal Cycle.

First I am going to break this all down, and then give you a way in which to tie this information all together. So hold on!

Collateral Pressure Points Breakdown

The follow points connect to meridians not normally charted. They run deep and will connect directly to other meridians as you will see in the chart.

1. Lung 7 – Connects to the Large Intestine Meridian.
2. Small Intestine 7 – Connect to the Heart Meridian.
3. Stomach 40 – Connect to the Spleen Meridian.
4. Spleen 4 – Connect to the Stomach Meridian
5. Liver 6 – Connect to the Lung Meridian
6. Bladder 58 – Connects to the Kidney Meridian
7. Kidney 4 – Connects to the Bladder Meridian
8. Pericardium 6 – Connect to Triple Warmer Meridian
9. Triple Warmer 5 – Connect to Pericardium Meridian
10. Gall Bladder 37 – Connect to the Liver Meridian
11. Liver 5 – Connect to Gall Bladder
12. Conception 15 – Connect to Governor Vessel
13. Governor 1 – Connect to the Conception Vessel
14. Heart 5 – Connect to Small Intestine
15. Spleen 21 – Major Collateral connect and wraps around the entire chest.

You will notice, I hope that we have 2 pressure points listed that just keep showing up! The first is PC-06 which is also a Confluent Pressure Point, plus I consider a Special Alarm Point. Then we have SP-21, which is arguable the most dangerous pressure point on the body. Also a Special Alarm Point.

Everything is connected.  This subject is far to difficult for a simple written explanation. This information is also heavily tied to body health and healing. Check my article on Quantum Healing with Chi Development and hopefully you will begin to connect the dots here. 

Watch this Video on Collateral Pressure Points!

Collateral Pressure Points in Conclusion

Kyusho Article CONCLUSION

I hope you see the massive power of this understanding. Yes it is a LOT to digest. But Kyusho Jitsu is about a journey not a destination.

And I am doing my best to give you the best information on earth! Thank you for reading Collateral Pressure Points.

Quantum Healing with Chi Development.What lies within us all.

* Quantum Healing with Chi Development

Quantum Healing with Chi Development: This article is going to be packed with a lot of very important information for my Kyusho Jitsu students and followers. So please read to the end and share this one! Today I am going to address your health and Quantum Healing with Chi Development.

And I am going to take no prisoners in the article. I also encourage you to research the things I am going to say! 

But when you do your research make sure to stay away from Google and main stream media and platforms. 

This is because they have been bought and paid for years ago! Your health does not require any doctor of chemical from the medical industrial complex. The body is a perfect flawless creation that when taken care of heals itself, until the end of life comes. 

The more you interfere with this, the more issues you develop. Think about this for a while.

Quantum Healing with Chi Development - Take Charge of your Health!

The government has no business in your health of any kind of regulation therein. Why do I say that? Because there is so much corruption, especially in western government that all they want is MONEY and POWER, If you are Canadian and think your federal government care if you iive or die, you are a fool! 

If they DID care the lies they are telling you about mask and lockdowns would never have come to play! And do you know YOUR DOCTOR gets a kickback for a positive test? Just like he or she does for writing that opioid prescription for pain. 

Just like your government controlled school boards get kickbacks for saying your child has a learning disability. BULLSHIT. the education system has a teaching disability!

How many lies will you listen to until you stop believing the liar?

Your body has a DNA map to repair itself to its original state without interference. It simply need certain tool and conditions to do so. Yet the government and medical industrial complex along with Gates wants to alter your DNA with a vaccine for something with a non existent death rate. And people buy this garbage!

So how do you benefit from Quantum Healing with Chi Development? This is a way to view your health from a different angle. Now I am not saying to anyone with a chronic illness that has a PROVEN non invasive treatment that you should stop the medication.

But I am saying to add this information to what you are doing. And always realize the current system is about profit and not health.

First step is stress reduction! Meditation is the key to this. Even if it is only 10 minutes per day! Your brain is bombarded with thousands of message designed to program you in different directions. You MUST TAKE OUT THE TRASH!

When I stepped off the plane in Toronto in September 2020 my stress level went thought the roof. The vibration in this horrible communist country is so low. It sucks the life out of you! I had to focus on Kyusho and producing great content for you, plus meditation to fight this off.

Stepping off the plan in Bucharest is wonderful! A different world!

Next is building your CHI. I have a lot of great information this at my Chi Development Website. When you do this Chi work then Quantum Healing with Chi Development becomes logical and easy.

Quantum Healing with Chi Development - Diet and Exercise

This is a joke industry. Obsessive training, and obsessive dieting when moderation is always the KEY. Life is about moderation not excess! 

In my new course called Quantum Chi Healing Video Course I am going to break down all these areas. And it will be in massive details. I encourage you to visit the website and learn more. 

Quantum Healing with Chi Development in Conclusion

Kyusho Article CONCLUSION

It is time to take control of your own destiny and health. Riches do not matter if your health is BAD. And today in the west all you need to do is look and you can see how unhealthy the population is. And there is a reason. It begins with trusting others, abdicating your responsibly for your own health to corrupted people. 

In closing I will make one statement. Would you trust Joe Biden babysit your child? Then why would you blindly trusting those profiting from your illness to be in charge of your health. Thank you for reading Quantum Healing with Chi Development.

Confluent Pressure Points. What makes the Dangerous?

* Confluent Pressure Points

Confluent Pressure Points: Today I am going to take a look at some seriously advanced pressure point knowledge. And I will do my best to keep this as simple as possible so everyone can benefit from this.

So lets get into Confluent Pressure Points, which are very special pressure points. 

There are a total of 5 of these type of pressure points. However for the purpose of this article I am only going to look at 4 of them. The reason is the 5th, which is BL-62 has no self defense usage. That one is purely a healing pressure point

Confluent Pressure Points - Pressure Point PC-06

I have a very detailed article on PC-06 which you can also use for reference for this pressure point. PC-06 is one of the most important on the human body which is why I am addressing it first. 

PC-06 is located 2 cun above the transverse crease of the wrist, between the tendons of the palmaris longus and flexor carpi radialis muscles, in the flexor digitorum superficialis manus muscle. In it's deep position in the flexor digitorum sublimis muscle. Below is a closer look.

The Pressure Point Pericardium 2

This pressure point is very easy to access. It is available anytime someone grabs you. And the good news is that you do not have to strike it! Simply touch it. And remain in contact. This is BEST done with the pericardium finger, but not required.

What happens under these conditions? The chest weakens making it vulnerable to any strike on the area. But a strike to a pressure point like SP-21 or KD-21 would be deadly. 

This Confluent Pressure Points is POWERFUL knowledge!

Confluent Pressure Points - Pressure Point SP-04

* Confluent Pressure Points

Spleen 6 or SP-06 gets a lot of attention from the Kyusho Jitsu universe. And it even has an AKA which is Triple Yin. And yes it is a great pressure point to setup knockouts. But Pressure Point SP-04 is another animal!

Located on the foot in the depression distal and inferior to the base of the 1st metatarsal bone, at the junction of the red and white skin or roughly 1 cun behind the joint of the
big toe. At the anterior, inferior margin of the 1st metatarsal, in the abductor
hallucis muscle
.

These Confluent Pressure Points, when activated via a touch, and you can do this with a foot, causes the GI tract, Stomach and Spleen to become vulnerable. You can attack with a simple punch to thee abdomen and get an amplified result, or you could attack Pressure Point ST-05 and cause the system to overload.

Warning, if the stomach is full the contents are coming out! 

Confluent Pressure Points - Pressure Point LU-07

LU-06 Painful Arm Pressure Points

Another of the wonderful Confluent Pressure Points! LU-07 is located on the wrist superior to the styloid process of the radius, 1.5 cun above the transverse crease of the wrist, in the depression.

And being located on the wrist like PC-06 is very easy to access! Activation will cause weakness in the throat and head! Therefore any pressure point attacked in these areas can be deadly! The head is one of the most dangerous places to strike, as is the throat and throat generally.

Imagine a strike to ST-09? This is making many strikes Kill Shots

Confluent Pressure Points - Pressure Point SI-03

* Confluent Pressure Points

Our final pressure point today is SI-03! Located on the ulna side of the palm, in the depression between the base of the 5th metacarpal bone and the triquetral bone. Lateral to the origin of the abductor digiti minimi manus.

And another case of in a hands on attack these can easily be activated!

 What are the results? The neck at the sides and shoulders because vulnerable!

This opens up to deadly pressure points, LI-18 and SI-16 making them even more 

Confluent Pressure Points in Conclusion

Kyusho Article CONCLUSION

I hope you can see the power of using Confluent Pressure Points together with strikes. My new course Kill Shot Pressure Points is based on this information.  

I hope you enjoyed this article on Confluent Pressure Points.

HPPT and Nonlethal Force. How to stay out of jail!

* HPPT and Nonlethal Force

HPPT and Nonlethal Force: Most martial artists and their instructors live in a fantasy world when it comes to self defense. And I will say it once again! Self Defense is NOT MMA, ring fighting, street fighting or an ego trip. Thus, it is a serious matter, with serious consequences.

Most of all it is requires specialized training, and this training is not what 90 percent of the population think it is. Therefore with that in mind today I want to address HPPT and Nonlethal Force

So, what is HPPT? If you read this blog or follow me elsewhere you will know that stands for Humane Pressure Point Tactics.  Here is an article that will go into great details on Humane Pressure Point Tactics.

And there is on this blog at least a dozen articles on self defense. Most of all I mean directly on Self Defense. Important to note I have spent 30 years in search of what works, why it works and how to properly train for self defense. But oddly it is a subject few martial artists are interested in. People would write me asking question but only for the reason of "debate" on the subject.

Therefore after all these years I have no interest in debate. You either wish to learn or not. Both are correct ways to think. And I have nothing to prove. However with the current issues in the world today. The massive corruption that infiltrates every aspect or life, HPPT and Nonlethal Force are a talk we need to have.

HPPT and Nonlethal Force

Important to understand is that Self Defense has been under attack in the western cultures for a long time. I have written many articles on this. One such article "your right to self defense in the 21st century" being one. But I am not going to cover old ground. Follow the link if you are interested. I do need to discuss "Nonlethal Force" because making mistakes, especially today will get you locked away forever.

Aside from the fact that psychologically most people cannot live with the guilt of taking a human life, no matter how much they think they can!  Today you will not be judged by the "rule of law" but by who you used lethal force against and what you think politically. 

HPPT and Nonlethal Force - Let's look at what I mean

Back in spring 2020 the USA had massive politically based and paid for riots in democratic cities. These riots were called my MSM "mostly peaceful." I watch live underground video feeds while it was happening. There was NOTHING peaceful abut these protests.

Most of all these peaceful protesters today, who have committed acts of murder are walking free. And the terrorist organization BLM responsible for this has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. Hence, I hope you see the playing field of self defense is NOT LEVEL.

And yesterday an article was featured in Time magazine stating the election in the USA was rigged and that this WAS OK! 

HPPT and Nonlethal Force

With the current move to communism in the west, and yes this is all communism, using lethal force will likely be a life sentence for you. And possibly a death sentence also as retribution will be allowed. You need special skills today!

Also other BIG issues that should be and once was a saving grace,  is video surveillance by the masses. Video was once a great way to show innocent. But editing now can turn a real self defense situation into murder. Special training skills are needed. And HPPT and Nonlethal Force is an example of this.

HPPT and Nonlethal Force in Conclusion

HPPT and Nonlethal Force CONCLUSION

People are very slowly waking up to the truth about 2020/2021/2022.

We have all be HAD. Life circumstances woke me up decades ago.

But as the masses see the lies and realize the clear and present danger we face today, you know it will take time before things get better.

As of the time of this writing the next 30 days are critical. Beyond that time recovery is decades. And beyond my life cycle. If you read this far I assume you are awake or waking up. I have been cryptic on purpose. 

Below I offer some critical learn possibilities. Some free, some come at a minimal price. Have a look, watch the videos and consider what I am saying. Thank you for reading HPPT and Nonlethal Force.

Self Defense and Fear. How to Slay the False Dragon

* Self Defense and Fear

Self Defense and Fear: This seems to be a very good topic for this place in time. Self Defense and Fear has been the topic of many questions asked of me over time. So I am going to do my best to answer this question today. And to explain the relationship between the 2 elements.

What is fear? Fear is a primal reaction to circumstances. It is an emotion hard wired into your brain. It is ego and self preservation all in one. Definition taken from a Wikipedia article:

Self Defense and Fear

Fear is an emotion induced by perceived danger or threat, which causes physiological changes and ultimately behavioral changes, such as fleeing, hiding, or freezing from perceived traumatic events.

Fear in human beings may occur in response to a certain stimulus occurring in the present, or in anticipation or expectation of a future threat perceived as a risk to oneself. The fear response arises from the perception of danger leading to confrontation with or escape from/avoiding the threat (also known as the fight-or-flight response), which in extreme cases of fear (horror and terror) can be a freeze response or paralysis

Today I am no longer a fan of Wikipedia, that is because their information tends to be very politically motivated, therefore becoming less factual. Infact they tend today to outright lie. But the above definition works for this discussion.

We also need to then divide this into two different categories, the rational fear and the irrational fear. 

Self Defense and Fear - Irrational Fear

An example today of irrational fears is the current "boogieman virus" situation today. The reaction of many is the very definition of irrational.  Listening too and believing propaganda with NO EVIDENCE at all that is truthful or factual, but still causes fear, is truly the very definition of irrational fear. 

An example of what I mean with the current "pandemic" situation.  They are considering 'case numbers' to be more important than deaths. Deaths is the ONLY number that matters and that is less than 100th of 1 percent.  If you are afraid of the current situation other then the authoritarian attitudes I encourage you to look into it deeply. But not from Facebook or CNN. Today ALL mass media lie for profit. These companies need to be removed. That is done by not watching and support them and their pathological lying.

There is NO REASON to be afraid, therefore the fear is irrational. And it is very unhealthy!  

Self Defense and Fear - Rational Fear

The situation on the streets of the failed Western Cultures today, well the entire world really, is something you can be rationally afraid of.  Today there is a serious violence problem on the streets. The reasons this is happening are many! But lets simply look at the relationship now with Self Defense and Fear.

How do you overcome fear? You cannot! There is no way to over ride the emotions you are feeling. Instead you must become BRAVER which will allow you to deal with the Self Defense and Fear situation. 

How is this done? Well this is a process, so lets look at it now.

Self Defense and Fear

Dealing with fear takes time! There is no magic pill you can take and become braver. And never lie to yourself about being brave either! This will make it worse!

My first suggestion is too train HARDER and more often. And train with an Uke you do not like to use! One who can challenge your techniques. Easy is not good! You can start easy but you need to ramp up the intensity on a continual basis! Challenge yourself each time!

If you are intimidated by the idea of a larger attacker, find a BIG training partner! Work up to live training, where you do not know what the attack will be! Train in the dark! This is so beneficial on so many levels!

Train in a Gi, and plain clothes, with shoes and without! Cover as man aspect of the street as you can do! This is what becoming braver is all about!  This is not stop you from being afriad, but you will be better equiped to handle the stress of fear.

This applies to all aspects of life. 

Self Defense and Fear in Conclusion

Kyusho Article CONCLUSION

The answer to fear is found in your Dojo! Train harder! If you are worried about larger attackers, find a larger training partner.

If you are worried about knives, train for knife defense. And remember self defense is not now, nor has it ever been a ring fight.

That mentality will get you killed very fast!

Kyusho Jitsu Uke. The Line between training and Negligence.

* Kyusho Jitsu Uke [Training Partner]

Kyusho Jitsu Uke: This is my first post of 2021! So Happy New Year! And for Kyusho Jitsu in 2021 I think it is going to be a good one! But today I want to take a few moments and upset some people. We are going to discuss the Kyusho Jitsu Uke or training partner. In particular we are going to discuss Uke safety as it relates to Kyusho Jitsu study.

What I see in the Kyusho Jitsu universe is a lot of very reckless people who made a name for themselves or are trying to make a name for themselves not taking proper precautions when it comes to the Uke or training partner.

My guess is either these people are IDIOTS or so egotistical and narcissistic they simply do not care about the Kyusho Jitsu Uke. Maybe both! And I have seen these examples time and time again. I ever have had some arguments with these people. But lets get into this more. 

Kyusho Jitsu Uke - The Law 

I know that many Dojo owners have their students sign wavers for injury. And this is smart. But thinking this is a waver for negligence is stupid. 

You cannot wave gross negligence! Here is a link to a legal dictionary discussing the laws. 

And an example of GROSS NEGLIGENCE is allowing Kyusho Jitsu Uke or student to free fall to the ground after being struck, and brain dysfunction occurs or the Uke losses consciousness.

* Kyusho Jitsu Uke [Training Partner]

There is no amount of "I'm sorry" or wavers that will help you or prevent injury to the student. The student may strike their head hard, concussing themselves, or damaging the neck/back.

You are in serious legal trouble and the Uke can be in jeopardy of losing his or her life!

Is looking good, showing off your "skills" really that important to you? 

Kyusho Jitsu Uke - Student Injuries

I see a very careless attitude in many Kyusho Jitsu instructors. As an example about 10 years ago I was at a Kyusho Jitsu seminar where one of the presenters seriously injured his Uke's shoulder trying to show off how good he is. If you really are good there is no need to show off!

Brain Trauma

I know I lost respect for this person.

In my 37 years of martial arts training  I have NEVER caused even ONE serious injury to ANYONE. Now that is a bragging point!

So what can go wrong during an Uke fall? First realize something. You CANNOT break-fall while in a condition of brain dysfunction! But lets look at the potential injury list. 

  1. Concussion from head impact with the floor! This can happen even with mats! Mats can protect the exterior of the skull from damage but they DO NOT stop the brain from crashing against the inside of the skull resulting in brain injury and possible death.
  2. Injury to the vertebrae of the neck and spine. [Whiplash from the bounce ] In the best case scenario chronic pain for the rest of the Kyusho Jitsu Uke life. Possible temporary or permanent paralysis of the body and even death!

Do I really need to say more? Is this language plain enough for people? There are certainly other injuries that are possible. I could spend all day talking about this. But this is a good enough start! 

As a side note gross negligence carries a prison sentence depending on the situation. Death of an Uke is homicide. Still think showing off is worth risk?

Kyusho Jitsu Uke - Resuscitation

Another aspect of the practice of Kyusho Jitsu and therefore the care of the Kyusho Jitsu Uke is understanding, and I mean a deep understanding of resuscitation.

You will never keep a training partner if they get injured or sick because you do not bother to follow rules of safety when dealing with pressure point strikes.

* Kyusho Jitsu Alarm Points

Do not be lazy! Learn proper resuscitation techniques and train with them! This is the most important part of the learning process. Now it is beyond this article to teach these techniques, but below is a basic breakdown.

You must learn proper resuscitation of the:

  1. Head
  2. Lungs
  3. Heart

These are the critical safety courses and tools. This helps the body recover from the trauma of a pressure point strike and stabilize. If this is not done in the short term the Uke will feel like he or she has a hangover. More serious is potential injury to organs. Once example is illness to the large intestine. Serious diarrhea or constipation can occur. 

In the western culture because of BAD food, and bad diet habits most people suffer from issues with the digestive system. Make your training partner sick and you will be looking for a new one soon. Eventually no one will work with you!

Kyusho Jitsu Uke - Rules and Good practices to Follow

Here are a few rules and/or good practices to follow when working with a training partner or Kyusho Jitsu Uke. These will prevent injury and illness. And could also keep your ass out of court or jail!

  1. Always spot the Uke! Have 2 people in correct position to catch any Uke when the possibility of a knockout is present.
  2. Know the medical history of the training partner! No one with heart issues should ever is knocked out. Any serious illness means they watch and are not used for demonstrations.
  3. No one under 16 or over 30 should be used! Unless you are VERY experienced and know for a fact the medical history of the Uke.
  4. Keep the strikes when using someone extensively to one side of the body ONLY. The Kyusho principle of attack along the meridian is powerful. Understand this principle well
  5. Keep the Uke hydrated! Water is essential and ONLY water not those crap sports drinks. 

Kyusho Jitsu Uke in Conclusion

Kyusho Article CONCLUSION

I write this article on Kyusho Jitsu Uke because I see too many examples of bad and even criminal practice in the martial arts world in general.

The health and safety of the Kyusho Jitsu Uke is of upmost importance and should never be taken for granted or neglected. Thanks for reading Kyusho Jitsu Uke.

Kyusho Education not Indoctrination – Chance Favors the Prepared Mind

* Kyusho Education not Indoctrination

Kyusho Education not Indoctrination - Chance Favors the Prepared Mind: People "take" martial arts classes for many different reasons, and most of the time it is the wrong reason.

That is why the quit rate in a martial arts dojo is so high. In some Dojo's it is as high as 90%.

But eventually everyone quits. And those who decide to pursue a Kyusho education also have a high quit rate, and one reason is we need Kyusho Education not Indoctrination.

Kyusho Education not Indoctrination

* Kyusho Education not Indoctrination

The education system in the west DISGUSTS ME. In the upper levels professions wish for their students to becomes slaves to their "brilliance" and yet they are only corrupt minions of the system they are involved in.

 Selling out their students to keep their boss happy.  In Canada, a sad and now pathetic country of the indoctrinated the "education" system does NOT teach cursive writing to children. 

Which destroys their potential as human beings PERIOD. Indoctrination is the "order of the day" in Canada.

But I am a little off topic, what does this all have to do with Kyusho Jitsu? I am a Kyusho Jitsu teacher not instructor, I believe in Kyusho Education not Indoctrination. My job is to provide the student with information and then make them think about it. Assess the information and decide how to be apply the information. Then using the knowledge attempt a knockout or create brain dysfunction in their Uki. Following protocols of safety of course. 

Not to provide answers, but to encourage pursue of knowledge and then to apply it! 

Kyusho Education not Indoctrination

I do not believe in showing off. There is lots of video out their of me teaching seminars and doing knockouts. But unlike many in the field I do not post hundreds of videos of me showing how great I am. I want my students to be great, better than me.

But that requires commitment on not just my part, but the student also. Sometimes I see Kyusho people with cute little titles and nicknames. Things like the "Mozart of Kyusho." Nice, but I would rather be the "Doctor House" of Pressure Point Study making you think in the abstract, and developing your ability to connect the dots and make pressure points WORK.

Chance Favors the Prepared Mind

* chance favors the prepared mind

This is a great saying. And it is true beyond measure. Interestingly enough you could sum up the classic book The Art of War using this phrase!  

And this is also about learning to THINK, not just accept everything you are told as fact, but rather use both logic and reason to make you own conclusions based on the information given. 

Understanding the answers are not etched in stone, but will grow and develop.

 And today with the fact that almost everything to see, read and hear is propaganda then deductive reasoning becomes a survival skill. Martial arts training is about survival and war.

Today the war is not fought with guns and knives, but with words and mind control. Manipulation, lies, gas-lighting and censorship

Most of the world today suffers from cognitive dissonance, and that is a serious and dangerous mental condition. Don't believe me? Go outside and watch the people. It should concern you greatly. Unless you are a fool.

Chance Favors the Prepared Mind, what does this mean? Are you educating yourself constantly based on research and facts, not trying to make yourself "feel" good with the outcome, but understanding from a point of LOGIC, cold and hard,  so intelligent decisions can be made?

Kyusho Education not Indoctrination Martial Arts is about MIND

I have been int he martial art world going on 37 years. And thankfully because I am a risk taker therefore the majority of this time has been full time. Martial Arts is a physical avenue designed to connect the body to the mind. Then ultimately the body-mind-spirit connection.

And that is rarely if ever accomplished with sport or competition. Competition is a emotional based ego trip to prove yourself better than someone else, rather then to become better than you were yesterday.

*Value of celebrity opinions

All you have to do is look the world of profession sports, the drug addiction, the physical abuse of spouses and children to see that EGO is not the answer.

You now see the egos on every playing field, as they try to force their unresearched opinions on the masses to make themselves feel important. But I can say that about Hollywood too! 

Developing the MIND is everything. Then as a by-product developing the spirit. This is the path of life. A Kyusho Education not Indoctrination is one way to get on that path. The path of using the brain, the mind to its full potential. A calm, focused, propaganda proof, questioning mind. 

Chance favors the prepared mind, and MIND is everything.

Kyusho Jitsu is a Puzzle to be solved

Kyusho Jitsu is a puzzle to be solved, not a truth. Solving the puzzles develops the mind, Applying the knowledge learned makes any martial art more effective.  It take the focus off the physical and makes the martial artist ageless. 

And we all grow old! I knew one day I would grow old too, I just did not think it would be this fast! Kyusho Education not Indoctrination!

Kyusho Education not Indoctrination in Conclusion

Kyusho Education not Indoctrination CONCLUSION

The other day I had a gentleman approach me about learning some Pressure Points. Plus he sent me images of his note taking.

He wanted me to teach him on my Dim Mak Group on Facebook directly. But that is just not possible,  I have laid out a specific path for students, and the path works because the quality of the students in the KJWA is very high. 

And I hope he will follow that path! Also I hope you will seek this knowledge also. And if you are a student recommit your efforts to learning. True commitment has no expiry date.

The path is hard, it requires time and perseverance to become good. Seek a Kyusho education not indoctrination. If your teacher does not push to make you think, then it is indoctrination.  Thank you for reading this article called Kyusho Education not Indoctrination.

Hot Hands Kyusho Jitsu. How to go beyond Ki Development

* Hot Hands Kyusho Jitsu

Hot Hands Kyusho Jitsu: Why are some people so successful when they demonstrated the science of pressure point fighting called Kyusho Jitsu? Then others who have a deep intellectual understanding have issues getting things to work? The answer is easy. I call it the Hot Hands Kyusho Jitsu. Let me explain.

Back in the day Chi Development was simply part of training. It was not a separate entity that a student would seek out as they progressed. Meditation and Chi training were just part of the over all training picture. 

Today the martial art world, especially in the Western Culture is very different. Commercial schools and sport has watered things down a great deal. 

And adult enrollment in the martial arts in general is down as much as 90 percent. In my personal view the days of the Dojo in the West are coming to an end. And this is very sad. But I know it will continue for those who wish to learn underground. 

Hot Hands Kyusho Jitsu - Chi Development

To get a grasp on what is needed to take your martial arts training and practice to the level of the masters of old you MUST understand and train to develop your Chi.

The term Hot Hand Kyusho Jitsu refers to hand with a high level of Chi energy always present in them. 

Chi Combat

When hands have a high level of Chi present they will take on a "mottled" appearance. Blotchy, with usually but not always a slight purple appearance. This is not always present but turned on by the student when needed. 

This comes from dedicated Chi Development done over time. There are many different methods of doing this kind of work. It can be done with sound, as detailed in my Kyusho Home Study Course, and also through creating and controlling a Chi Ball, which will be discussed more below where you can get a free video learning how to do this.

Hot Hands Kyusho Jitsu - Meditation Training

Without meditation training you are not going to get very far. One of the main benefits of meditation is to clear and focus the mind. You will hear this often discussed in today's martial rt classes.

Kyusho Jitsu Cycle of Emotions - Control Emotions

But in my opinion they are falling short of accomplishing this when meditation is not done.

But in today's rather pathetic world of instant gratification no one wants to do the work to get the result.

Meditation takes time and thousands of hours in a lifetime to truly experience the benefits. 

The more time you spend meditating the better the result. I have been myself involved the martial arts world going on 37 years, and about 34 years of this time involved in one form of mediation or another. 

Hot Hands Kyusho Jitsu in Conclusion

Hot Hands Kyusho Jitsu CONCLUSION

Hot Hands Kyusho Jitsu is a high Chi energy condition that makes striking pressure point more effective than average.

You can succeed without this condition and understanding. And you can do VERY well without it!

But why settle for less when you can train harder now and get a better results in the future. Plus this kind of training is for when you are older and cannot keep a high fitness level due to age and injury. I know my days o putting my feet over my head are long long. But I do not worry about the streets. I have prepared all my life to be an aging martial artist.

Thank you for taking time today to read Hot Hands Kyusho Jitsu.

Alarm Point ST-25 [Stomach]. How to stop up Large Intestine.

* Alarm Point ST-25

Alarm Point ST-25: Today I am going to discuss on of my personal favorite pressure points. This is Alarm Point ST-25. And this is a pressure point often times overlooked, yet is so easy to access and very effective as a setup for other strikes. Plus if you perform Kata in your martial art system you have a "ready" stance at the beginning of the Kata. And this a strike bilaterally to ST-25

So lets get into this!

Alarm Point ST-25 - Location & Effect

Alarm Point ST-25 is located 2 cun lateral [finger widths] to the centre of the umbilicus. This strike can cause knock out when struck hard. It will also cause diarrhea on the spot. Plus this is a pressure point that is capable of causing emotional disorders and also the physical symptoms that go with emotional disorders. 

This is because it upsets the communication between Gall Bladder and Triple Warmer Meridian Systems. 

You also feel a vacuum effect with a hard and correct strike, using a penetrating striking action. 

Alarm Point

Alarm Point ST-25 is also and most importantly an Alarm Point. Alarm Points are pressure points that have a direct relationship to the organ they are linked with. In this case Pressure Point ST-25 is the Alarm Point for Large Intestine. This is why above I speak of potential diarrhea! Striking this pressure point also brings the 24 Hour Diurnal Cycle into play. 

When you strike Alarm Point -ST-25 the following results:

  • Activation of Stomach on the side struck
  • Importantly plus Activation of Large Intestine Bilaterally
  • Activation of Triple Warmer Bilaterally

The importance and power of Alarm Points cannot be overstated! I go into great details on Alarm Points in my eBook the 15 Principles Plus One of Kyusho Jitsu. Here is a link to an Alarm Point Video Course also. Both are excellent learning resources. 

Alarm Point ST-25 in Conclusion

Alarm Point ST-25 CONCLUSION

This is one very powerful pressure point! Because of its location and its dramatic effects this is one to be added to your training!

Plus you can often see this in your Kata as a double strike! Make sure to play with this one and learn its in and outs. But as always be cautious!
