Discover the Power of the Hapkido Cane Defense System

February 23, 2020
/ By Grand Master Art Mason

What is the Hapkido Cane Defense System? And why do I consider it to be important enough today to bring a course out on it at Kyusho Jitsu University? This article will address all this right now.

The walking cane is the only traditional weapon in my root art of Hapkido. When the cane first made its appearance in the world it was a "status symbol" for the wealthy. People really did not consider it to be anything else.

Rich people and royals had canes. Today however it is linked with the elderly or someone with issues walking. And while all that is true, it is also perhaps aside from a firearm, the best self defense too available today to ANYONE who wishes to carry one.

The western world first real look at Hapkido was in the movie the Trail Of Billy Jack. During the Hapkido training scene with Hapkido legend Bong Soon Hon you get a look at the use of the walking cane in the art. For many people this is the first and ONLY exposure they have ever gotten to the Hapkido Cane Defense System.

Kyusho Hapkido Cane Defense System

The cane was not taught to me from my Korean Hapkido Grand Master. Grand Master Oh is referenced in my bio and other articles, rather it began as a result of my son contacting Grand Master Mark Sheuy of Cane Masters.

My son Curt devoted about 2 years to this learning after which we began to incorporate it into the style we were creating that would later be called Hon Sang Mu Sa Hapkido. The cane was turned into a extremely effective self defense system using the movements of the Octagon and incorporating the Principles of Kyusho Jitsu into it.

Hapkido Cane Defense System- The Ultimate Self Defense tool

The walking cane, the Hapkido Cane Defense System is truly the ultimate self defense tool! Why is this? Because legally it is not view as being a weapon, it is viewed as a tool to assist someone with a disability to walk. This is part of the amazing power the cane possesses!

I get a lot of comments from people in the USA talking about carrying a firearm. Now I am all for that! However this is simply not the reality of the majority of the world. In Canada is it VERY hard to get a permit to carry a concealed weapon. Plus you will never be allowed to carry it everywhere you go!

In the USA you can have a permit in one state. Yet in a second your permit would be invalid making the gun illegal. This does not EVER happen with a cane. You can take a cane everywhere including when you board a plane!

Your cane can always be at your side! Cane is taught in my root art beginning at Red Belt. The need for people to learn the Hapkido Cane Defense System I am sure you can see clearly now.

Hapkido Cane Defense System in Conclusion

Kyusho Hapkido Cane Defense System CONCLUSION

I am hoping this article on the Hapkido Cane Defense System will help you see the power and advantage of learning the Kyusho Jitsu Cane Defense System.

There are more advantages to this system than I am going to mention here. But I will add one more!

In my view, especially in today's world, Hapkido Cane is something that every martial artist needs to learn. Also read the full History of Hapkido from the World Budo Alliance here. Thank you for taking time to read Hapkido Cane Defense System.

HPPT Deescalation Secrets. How to deal with threat levels.

February 16, 2020
/ By Grand Master Art Mason

HPPT Deescalation Secrets. I have an older article called Understanding Self Defense Escalation Levels which I recirculated last week. In the ad for the article I refer to being able to do this in seconds.

And you only have seconds to do it! So today I am going to discuss HPPT Deescalation Secrets.

The reason I am doing this article on HPPT Deescalation Secrets is because of a comment I received in a Facebook Group stating "easier said than done."

I guess he did not like my reply because he then told me "don't ever get in a fight you will lose!" Yeah, sure......I love how people can read a few words and know everything about me. I guess he either knows everything, or is too lazy to do the important work of mastering the HPPT Deescalation Secrets.

HPPT Deescalation Secrets - Assess the Situation

The first step is too assess the situation. How much trouble are you in? Can it be deescalated?If someone is looking to rob you give them what they want! The cemetery is full of heroes. This is the best way to deescalate.

Now the egotists will object! Is your life really worth the contents of you wallet?

Years ago on a Detroit TV called Kelly and Company Chuck Norris was a guest. An audience member as Norris what he would do if someone tried to rob him at gun point. The answer was perfect and the audience member did not see it coming! GM Norris said "i would give him my wallet." The disappointment in the "questioners" face was EPIC. There are no stupid questions only stupid people.

Chuck Norris' answer is just common sense.

HPPT Deescalation Secrets - Personality Types

If you can deescalate a bad situation this is where HPPT Deescalation Secrets come into play. You need to have knowledge of and study personality types. When you know the personality type you can then talk with the person in a very important way.

You treat the attacker "the way they want to be treated." This can calm a situation down quickly and lead to a resolution other than violence. How do I know? Because I have done it countless times! Let's look at an example.

There is a man who appears from nowhere and puts a gun to your head. What do you do? If you think you can disarm him you are a fool. Please read these articles on Gun Defense Laws & 5 Misconceptions about Gun Defense. The same applies to KNIFE Defense.

So let me ask you a question about this scenario. Why are you not dead?

Because the attacker has not yet decided to kill you. You have time to apply HPPT Deescalation Secrets and walk away clean.

What are the HPPT Deescalation Secrets?

The are 4 basic personality types. These are as follows.

Director
Socializer
Thinker
Conscientious

Every person is a mixture of 2 of these. A primary and then a secondary personality. I am a Socializing Thinker. This means I am a thinker primarily, and socializer secondarily. A personality type like mine is easy to engage in conversion. Conversation buys time and potential non violent resolutions.

A Socializing Director is very different. Too much conversation will be taken as patronizing and could escalate the situation. There are no guarantees, but buying time is essential!

What does this guarantee?

It guarantees nothing, except to give you the chance to negotiate, deescalate or if violence is inevitable plan your counter and escape route. There is a much more at play than just personality types. Even a conscientious person can be violent. Assumptions cannot EVER be made!

We also need to assess quickly "WHY" this is happening and are we dealing with a mental illness? There is a lot to take in quickly. How is all this possible? It gets down to the way you think and how you train.

HPPT Deescalation Secrets in Conclusion

This is a complicated subject and every instance will be different. It is beyond the scope of a single articles to teach you how to do this "personality" typing.

But that is one of the reasons for my Humane Pressure Point Tactics Certification Course.

In Level One I teach about deescalation, and in Level Four I teach the personality types.

The personality type information should be practiced everyday with every person you meet or know. Thank you for reading about HPPT Deescalation Secrets.

All Inclusive Self Defense. The things you do not know.

January 27, 2020
/ By Grand Master Art Mason

All Inclusive Self Defense: Today the word inclusive has become very important, but when it comes to the self defense world so many things are simply overlooked. Today we are going to discuss All Inclusive Self Defense and what this really means. I am going to breakdown the things you need to know, learn and understand to survive the threat of today's streets.

One of the biggest disservices being done to people today is the constantly telling them what "victims" they are because someone did something bad to them. Really I feel that this behavior, which we see a lot on the "Left" in USA politics is CRIMINAL. They are teaching people to be weak rather then showing them the way to succeed, all while making themselves famous and richer. Pathetic we put up with this! These employees of the people need to be put in their place!

But let's get on with All Inclusive Self Defense

All Inclusive Self Defense - Situational Awareness

I know you have heard this one before! But when I look at people out on the street they are only intellectually understanding this idea.

Walking alone with headphones on in a park, or their nose firmly planted in their smartphone have no idea of what is going on around them.

Are you one of these people? Addicted to Facebook or Instagram?

Myself I use my smartphone on average of less than 10 minutes per day. There is a "Digital Wellness" app that will tell you exactly how much you use your phone. Try it out!

When you are out in the world know exactly where you are at all times, and who is around you. Plan your route ahead of time, don't us the GPS! Look confident as you travel to your destination. Bad Players are looking for distracted, lost people. Starring at your phone will make you look like a good target.

When going to and from work or school try to not be predictable taking the same route and the same time everyday. And if possible travel with friends. Learn about the city you live in and where the problem areas are. Stay away from problem areas.

Cellphones - Ultimate Self Defense Weapon

Part of All Inclusive Self Defense is the cellphone. While it can be a problem is also an amazing weapon! If you have a 911 service this is best. If not make sure the local police are on the speed dial. Don't be afraid to call for help! The police would much prefer coming to a false alarm rather then to mark out a crime scene after an attack.

All Inclusive Self Defense means taking advantage of everything at your disposal! And this certainly means technology. OH, and if something is going on around you. Turn on the voice recorder. This can be used to help with the police if something does happen.

All Inclusive Self Defense - Body Language

Body language and understanding it is an art in itself. But remember this is a 2 way street!

You can read the other person or potentially bad situation, but they can read you too! All inclusive self defense means 3 dimensional thinking.

If you look nervous they will see this! But to not look nervous means training to be braver. You cannot overcome fear.

Always walk with your head up and shoulders back! Know exactly where you are and possible escape routes if needed. But do not look around intensely like you are panicked. If someone talks to you answer but keep moving. Do not stop to answer the inquiry! "Hey bud what time is it?" " Sorry no watch," and keep going. Eye contact is OK but never stare! Best to look disinterested. Use your peripheral vision too! Practice to use it!

Watch the body language of those around you. Do they look nervous or "suspicious." Your gut feeling is almost always right. If something feels wrong get "out of Dodge."

All Inclusive Self Defense - Escalation

This is something in my Humane Pressure Point Tactics Certification Courses [H.P.P.T] I talk about non stop. How much danger am I in here? What can I do to lower the threat? Threat management is also an art!

And things can go from 1 to 10 very fast! Especially if you run into someone with a mental illness. Words, like disagreeing with someone can "trigger" violence at a moments notice. A question like "what do you think of..." is best answered with a shrug.

When we were kids we were told by mom "don't talk to strangers", this seems to be very good advice today when a simple greeting or kindness can trigger one of the "woke" to go off the deep end and become violent.

Be prepared mentally, and "Chance favors the Prepared Mind."

In True Self Defense

"In True Self Defense there is No Body Contact" a great quote from the late Jame Mitosi. And once understood and even mastered can lead you to becoming safe on the street, and to avoid bad situations. A lot of what is being taught today as "self defense" is simply BAD advice. And because someone was a "seal" or claims to be a "seal" does not really meaning anything.Self Defense is NOT WAR and not sport either. Get that out of your mind!

All inclusive self defense is about personal security, personal privacy and defensive techniques and learning designed to make you safe and allow the police to then do their jobs.

All Inclusive Self Defense in Conclusion

The most important thing in all inclusive self defense learning is surviving the threat! Really that is the only thing that matters!

Hapkido Kyusho Jitsu Connection how to increase training effectiveness

January 14, 2020
/ By Grand Master Art Mason

Hapkido Kyusho Jitsu Connection: My martial arts training began officially on November 10th 1984 in Windsor Ontario Canada as part of Chung Oh's School of Tae Kwon Do. Grand Master Oh was at this time a 7th Dan Black Belt in Hapkido as well as Tae Kwon Do. The TKD element was really only the Hyung or Kata we learned bases on the ITF or International Tae Kwon Do Federation. GM Oh and General Choi were very close.

But today I want to discuss the Hapkido Kyusho Jitsu Connection.

My direct instructor was Master Philip Hollohan, who was an amazing teacher. I was with him for about 16 years before venturing out on own in July 2000.

What was the main reason? One day I met a man on the streets of Windsor who was dangerous. And there was no way I could handle this man alone. I found out the follow day from the Windsor Police who apprehended him after my call that was a dangerous psychotic.

This caused me many sleepless night and I wanted desperately to learn more and take my focus from sport, to real street self defense. So in 2000 I opened my own Dojo full-time in pursue of knowledge.

Hapkido Kyusho Jitsu Connection

The Hapkido Kyusho Jitsu Connection was not the first part of my learning when I went out on my own. At first I met a Kempo Grand Master named Raymond Hayes. He spoke of the Octagon, which I found fascinating. Soke Hayes passed away several years ago. I miss the many conversions he and I had, as well as his wisdom and direction.

But I did end up working directly with one of his former students who had pursued and attained a high rank in Kosho Ryu. I worked with Grand Master Buchan intensively for about a year and incorporated all I learned into my root art. Changing if dramatically.

While I only remained with GM Buchan for about a year he generously shared his knowledge. I departed due to a different direction we both had. He was looking for expand his organization and I was not willing to be absorbed into it. I cannot give you a link to GM Buchan as it appears he is not longer teaching. He was a student of Hanshi Bruce Juchnik.

Hapkido Kyusho Jitsu Connection

After this time period around mid 2001 I attended a George Dillman Seminar in London Ontario, about 2 hours east of Windsor. At this seminar I was very impressed with how the materials were presented and also that I could make it work very easily.

I was hooked and contacted seminar host Grand Master Steve Stewart and began formal Kyusho Jitsu training with him the following month. I worked directly with him for better than 10 years becoming a Level Five Kyusho Jitsu Instructor under him. This of course deepened the Hapkido Kyusho Jitsu Connection.

Hon Sang Mu Sa Hapkido - Hapkido Kyusho Jitsu Connection

As I mentioned I have a thirst for learning. I took all the things I learned in Kyusho and Kosho, plus Small Circle Jujitsu and Systema and integrated them into my root art. Then in 2005 while talking with a high ranking Tae Kwon Do Master he pointed out to me he was not sure what we where training in any longer. This was the inspiration to name and register my eclectic art which is called Hon Sang Mu Sa Hapkido with the World Budo Alliance.

Today, in the Dojo that bears my name, Kyusho Jitsu study groups are still going on today. High rank (4th Dan) in my root art does require the student to rank in Kyusho Jitsu also. My 2 ranking instructors in Canada are board members the Kyusho Jitsu World Alliance as well as still training with Grand Master Stewart on a monthly basis.

Kyusho Jitsu Hapkido Cane

Another important part of the Hapkido Kyusho Jitsu Connection is cane. And I also want to take a moment to mention the ONLY traditional weapon in Hapkido which is the walking cane.

While I did not learn this from my first instructor, Grand Master Chung Oh we incorporated this into our teachings in 2000.

My son Curt pursued this information originally from Grand Master Mark Sheuy of Cane Masters. Years later we restructured this with Octagon and Kyusho to create a Cane Defense System within our new root art. You can learn more about Kyusho Jitsu Cane Defense here.

Hapkido Kyusho Jitsu Connection in Conclusion

Kyusho Jitsu is the missing part of every martial art. Learning Kyusho causes you to develop a deep understanding of your root art.

And it this development is revolutionary to your training. Please feel free to leave a comment below. and please checkout this History of Hapkido.

Thank you for reading this article called Hapkido Kyusho Jitsu Connection. I hope it helped to show you the relationship, the Hapkido Kyusho Jitsu Connection.

HPPT Self Defense Psychology. How do psychopaths think?

January 8, 2020
/ By Grand Master Art Mason

HPPT Self Defense Psychology. No matter who tells you the contrary violent crime is on the rise. The government supplied statistics are deliberately misleading no matter which country you are living in.

There is a reason too! Governments love to collect money from citizen but they prefer to put it into their own pockets rather than into services for the people.

Enter the need for HPPT Self Defense Psychology.

Most police forces are shrinking. And with today's "WOKE" world police are chasing things put on twitter rather than as an example the 23% increase in knife crimes in 2018 in the UK.

You will hear a lot of positioning about "gun laws" like that would actually matter. Criminals do not care about laws, especially when the system has so many holes in it they get out anyways.

Here is a great example! Back several years ago a man went crazy on a bus in Canada and stabbed, cut a man head off and began to eat the body. The victims name was Tim McLean. The attacker was deeded sane and released by the government.

Do you see a need to understand HPPT Self Defense Psychology? THEY, the corrupt medical system were more concerned about the rights of the attacker than the victim.

HPPT Self Defense Psychology: Are you prepared?

Can you image the life long trauma of those passengers? Why do I bring this up? Because this man was released and walks the streets of I believe it is Manitoba today. Having been deemed "cured" by doctors. And this is because of the mental illness of today's western liberal extremist!

Tell me would you be prepared for something like this? If you have that tough guy attitude I see in the martial arts world today you would die in such circumstances.

The Greater Good Lie

Today in our propagandized world you hear the powers that be refer to the "greater good." Like National Security this has nothing to do with the greater good of the people. But the greater good of the government agenda.

Please read this important article on Violence Rises in Dystopian Hell.

You CANNOT be a tough guy with someone mentally disturbed. And today not only has mental illness gone off the charts with the addiction problems in society, but politics has created an envy based hate culture. Also enabling those with serious illness, illness that needs treatment not encouragement! This man in the crime above should have been deemed a "dangerous offender" and never released! But today politics makes criminals into victims! And victims into criminals! This is why real heads up Self Defense courses like HPPT is so needed.

And this problem is going to get worse. You have to understand you need more today in your training than just the traditional martial art / self defense knowledge.

HPPT Self Defense Psychology in Conclusion

With that in mind I am going to recommend 2 books. These are being bundled together for a special price. I really want this information in everyone hands!

Follow this LINK to learn about The Psychology of Self Defense. This book explains the psychology of many attackers and well as training for it!

The second is my Humane Kyusho Beginners Guide. Thank you for reading this article called HPPT Self Defense Psychology.

Pressure Points Are Fine Motor Skills. Separate truth from propaganda.

December 23, 2019
/ By Grand Master Art Mason

I hear this almost everyday! Pressure Points Are Fine Motor Skills are therefore cannot, and will not work under the stress of a street attack or fight.

The statement is DEAD WRONG and simply propaganda. There is NO basis for fact unless you are talking about the untrained. Saying this is simply and EXCUSE for your personal failure in training. [Know your Limitations]

So let me explain why.

Fine Motor Skills vs. Gross Motor Skills

What are gross motor skills? They are "Gross motor skills involve movements of the large muscles of the arms, legs and torso."

What are fine motor skills? The definition is as follows. "Fine motor skills are the ability to make movements using the small muscles in our hands and wrists." These are basic definitions but will do for the purpose of the article.

These definitions being given striking at a pressure point is therefore considered to be a fine motor skill. However by this definition so is punching, slapping etc. And by this definition all martial arts training including striking with the forearms and knees is fine motor skills and therefore cannot me done.

The problem is they all can be done. Because gross or fine motor skills are irrelevant, and training is the only object, the only path to success. One of the more detailed fine motor skills is using a firearm. Yet these are used in high stress situations daily!

Pressure Points Are Fine Motor Skills in Conclusion

I am sure by now you can see that the martial arts world has been sold a "bill of goods" telling them that only gross motor skills work today!

They are trying to convince people that training is worthless and a waste of time. This is only true when society and the powers that be want to create a culture of sheep!

I have many concerns today about the martial arts world. Please follow this link and have a look at my latest eBook offering on the subject. Thank you for reading Pressure Points Are Fine Motor Skills!

Deadly Pressure Point KD-21. What makes it dangerous?

December 16, 2019
/ By Grand Master Art Mason

Deadly Pressure Point KD-21: We hear the stories all the time, more often than anyone wants too. A child is hit by a baseball or soccer ball in the chest and dies on the field. Doctors who are not versed in eastern medicine have no idea as to why. But the answer is the child was struck with the correct "spin" at Deadly Pressure Point KD-21, usually on the left side of the body.

Deadly Pressure Point KD-21 Location & Affects

The location of Deadly Pressure Point KD-21 is 6 cun above the umbilicus, and 0.5 cun lateral to CV-14. This is an extremely dangerous point as it combines a serious shock to the life
force meridian. The shock also is crossing over to CV-14 which in itself
is a very dangerous pressure point.

Correct striking of KD-21 will result in immediate heart stoppage that requires reverse CPR to be immediately administered, or a defibrillator unit to shock the heart back into action.

Reverse CPR is covered in details in my Kyusho Home Study Course.

Notice in the image to the right the position of the pads from the defibrillator? Which pressure points are being shocked?

Striking Actions & Angle - Direction

In order to get the result you must attack Deadly Pressure Point KD-21 with the correct striking action, plus the correct angle and direction. And we must not forget 2 Way Action.

So how does this cause death from a strike by a ball? It does defy the odds when it happens.

The ball must hit the "heart side" or the left side of the body, dead on the pressure point, but spinning "clockwise." This is the only way to get the heart stoppage result! If you strike the other side of the body the strike would be anti-clockwise.

As for a strike itself, you would attack with a "grasping" action for water, spinning with the right hand in an upset or clockwise direction. Therefore this will interrupt the hearts electrical connections to the brain and cause the stoppage.

This is accomplished with a high-medium to heavy strike. And a softer strike will result in brain dysfunction as well as spasms of the diaphragm resulting in dangerous breathing issues which could also result in death.

I cover healing this issue in my Kyusho Healing Course. Deadly Pressure Point KD-21 falls into the category of a "Combat Pressure Point."

Deadly Pressure Point KD-21 in Conclusion

And I am sure you can see how dangerous this pressure point is and that is should never be used for demonstration purposes.

Striking the pressure point is very straight forward and require little training.

But extreme caution needs to always be used.

Kyusho Know your Limitations so you can exceed them!

December 13, 2019
/ By Grand Master Art Mason

Kyusho Know your Limitations: Have you ever noticed that those who know the least argue the most? I know I see this almost on a daily basis. But, I cease communications anytime I encounter a "closet intellectual." Kyusho: Know your Limitations, it is good that these alleged martial artists do realize their potential as they try to impose their limited thinking on others.

Why do I saw alleged? Because when someone is willing to argue a point to prove they are right I see holes in the stories. People lie to protect their lies. Recently I had some "closet intellectual" ask me about "fear" and how to control it. When someone asks this question I am always on guard. This is usual a "baited" question. And in truth I am not the one to ask. You should be asking a psychologist if you have fear issues.

Kyusho Know your Limitations - Pressure Points Don't Work on the Street

Now whenever someone comes with this question about fear we end up in the "pressure points don't work on the street" talk. This is where I cut communication and spam the address. Why? Because I do not have time for "closet intellectuals."

Whatever you believe will become your reality, and the more limited your thinking the more limited your life will be. There are no exceptions. If you cannot target pressure points under stress this has nothing to do with pressure points. YOU ARE A FAILURE IN YOUR TRAINING.

Kyusho Know your Limitations!

Today we are dealing with some very BAD, limited thinking. Ideologies of envy and failure. "Oh this person has more than me, it is not fair." Do you know what a loser you must be to think this way? Make excuses for your lack of effort? Seriously!

Failure is part of life and you will fail more than you will ever succeed. That is just life! And the most successful people in life, be it in business, martial arts or any other aspect have failed more than 99% per of whiners will ever try! Kyusho Know your Limitations and surpass them!

If you have never failed it is because you have done nothing in life!

Kyusho Know your Limitations - Triple Warmer Overload

We have a serious problem in society today. Self Control is a thing of the past as people are ruled by their addiction to their emotions. Because you "feel" someway about something does not make it true or right.

And this addiction people have will always lead to more failure. Because the Triple Warmer Meridian is overactive.

The reason is simple, under a high emotional state your ability to make an objective decision is gone. Instead you become easily manipulated by the narrative. Today people sound like robots as they spew out the current narrative they see on social media.

Martial Art training is a remedy to this, but only if you actually quit making excuses and do the damn work! Kyusho Know your Limitations know them, and surpass them.

Kyusho Know your Limitations - Check your Addictions!

So what are your addictions that are preventing you from succeed in Kyusho Jitsu, martial arts or anything else?

How much time do you WASTE on Social Media like Facebook each day? Nothing wrong with using Social Media but the always being logged on is BAD. The average person wastes 144 minutes per day on Facebook. I limit myself to 10 minutes per day.
Are you obsessed with politics? Have you lost friends over differences?
Do you get very anger for no real reason? And do posts on social media upset your day? If yes stop reading them. I don't read my timeline.
Do you make excuses, blame others for your failures like the "left wing nutbags" tell you that you should?

If this is you, then perhaps it is time to forget the status quo and get back into the Dojo and training for REAL! Focus your MIND.

Kyusho Know your Limitations - Stop the Excuses

Take a look at this image on the right. These are the pressure points on the right side of the head and neck.

The area of activation of each one is the size of an American Silver Dollar.

And there are a total of pressure points on each SIDE OF THE BODY!

Can you see why when some clown tells me that hitting pressure points is not possible I call him out as his training being an EPIC FAILURE?

Kyusho Know your Limitations in Conclusion

Kyusho: Know your Limitations CONCLUSION

Kyusho Know your Limitations: Are you ready to stop making excuses in life?

Can you see whey I do not bother with these BAD THINKERS or "closet intellectuals" I speak of? If you do the work pressure points WORK period!

No matter what some loser will tell you.

What is a closet intellectual? It is someone who knows little to nothing about a topic but their ego is so big they need to argue their expertise anyways. I'll bet today you know a lot of people like this!

Deadly Pressure Point HT-01. What’s makes this a Heart Stopper?

December 10, 2019
/ By Grand Master Art Mason

Deadly Pressure Point HT-01: The Heart Meridian, one of the most under rated of the 12 Kyusho Jitsu meridians on the body, and Deadly Pressure Point HT-01 is perhaps the more ignored pressure point on the body because of its location.

But I can tell you the results of a strike to HT-01 are a fight ender, with the potential of it being a lethal strike

Deadly Pressure Point HT-01 - Location

Deadly Pressure Point HT-01 is located in the armpit, AKA the Axilla. The contents of the axilla include the axillary vein and artery, as well as the brachial plexus, lymph nodes and fat. The axilla is the space between the side of the thorax and the upper arm.

Pressure Point HT-01 is located In the center of the axilla, on the medial side of the axillary artery, at the lateral inferior margin of the pectorals major muscle and in it's deep position the point lies in the coracobrachialis muscle. The axillary nerve is also present at this location.

Effects of Strikes to Pressure Point HT-01

What happens if you strike Deadly Pressure Point HT-01? Well let's take a look at this. A strike to HT-01 on the left side of the body will stop the heart immediately. This is accomplished with a little as a "medium" strike. This is also possible on the right side of the body, but not probable.

A neurological pressure point knockout will also occur immediately on either side of the body. A light strike will cause intense local pain and disorientation from brain dysfunction. Speech impairment will result as well as a very unstable emotional state.

Great physical damage can also occur in the area such as dislocation or the arm at the shoulder, permanent nerve damage, and possible rupture of the Axillary Artery or vein.

Deadly Pressure Point HT-01 in Conclusion

As you can see this is another very dangerous pressure point and one that should never be played with.

Access is not as difficult as you might think This is especially true with a taller attacker or if a front choke is applied

If you would like more information like this please checkout my eBook Kyusho Pressure Point Anatomy. This pressure point is also discussed in my article on 5 Best Combat Pressure Points. Thank you also for taking time to read this article on Deadly Pressure Point HT-01. This is part of a large series on the different pressure points of the body.

What are the 5 Best Combat Pressure Points for Defense?

December 2, 2019
/ By Grand Master Art Mason

Combat Pressure Points: I do not personally like the word "combat" being used in the martial arts.

But that is because I am a man who believes words have meaning and cannot be interchanged because someone wishes to. A great example of this today is the misuse of the word "phobia."

That means an irrational fear of. Because I disagree with an ideology or way of life does not mean I am afraid of it.

Anyway, lets today look at the 5 Best Combat Pressure Points. In this article I am taking aot vulnerable parts of the human body.

So when I say the 5 Best Combat vital points, what is it I am referring to? Combat is essentially a military term for engagement with an enemy. I do not consider the meaning to apply to martial arts because martial arts is about self defense training in peaceful times.

And that is OK. So the best combat pressure points need to be very specific. Therefore to the purpose of this article they mean pressure points with a very predictable result and no setup required.

Best Combat Pressure Points

With this in mind I am going to provide you with a list below, and a link to a more detailed explanation of each pressure point. One of my students left my school back in 2006 to join the Canadian military. He commented of all the things he learned in training under me that the pressure point information was really the only part that translated and worked in hand to hand, kill or be kill combat.

I wish more people understood this.

#1 Combat Pressure Points - GB-20

The first pressure point on this list is GB-20. Why is that? Because of its relationship to the occipital nerve at the back of the head it is an excellent pressure point to cause massive brain dysfunction.

And as an added bonus it is a "blind strike" which means the person does not see it coming, and therefore cannot mount any real defense.

#2 Combat Pressure Points - BL-10

Next is a very dangerous pressure point. This is Pressure Point BL-10. Perhaps one of the most dangerous pressure points on the body this one fits the criteria of Pressure Points for combat perfectly.

BL-10 is also tied in with the occipital nerve and the brain dysfunction associated with this. BL-10 is also a kill shot. Hit correctly you can cause damage to the brainstem which is right there, with very little tissue to protect it.

It's position at the back of the head also makes for another important "blind strike."

#3 Combat Pressure Points - SP-21

Pressure Point SP-21 is located on the ribs, about center of the bicep with the arms hanging. The exact location is on the lateral aspect of the chest, on the mid-axillary line, in the 6th intercostal space.

An intercostal space is the "meat" between the ribs which is a hotbed for nerves!

A solid strike to this area can break ribs, cause lung punctures and has the potential to stop the heart. And its location at the weakest point in the rib cage is a definte bonus!

#4 Combat Pressure Points - ST-09

Again we look at a very dangerous pressure point, and how, like the above this is a one shot kill. Pressure Point ST-09 is located right over the carotid sinus. The carotid sinus is a Baroreceptor, whose purpose is to detect an increase in blood pressure.

When it detects an increase, it sends a signal to the vasomotor center of the via the vagus nerve. This initiates a Vasodilatation, and slowing of the heart rate to lower the blood pressure to normal.

Striking the area will cause an immediate drop in blood pressure resulting in unconsciousness and potential death.

Damage to the carotid artery and sinus are possible which if not treated immediately will result in death. This is a dangerous pressure point, but definitely one of the very best combat pressure points.

#5 Combat Pressure Points - HT-01

I have only written about HT-01 in my book Kyusho Pressure Point Anatomy. However it is a very dangerous pressure point. The location is in the arm pit itself.

The pressure point is right over the top of the axillary artery and therefore great artery damage is also done when this pressure point is struck.

A medium strike, especially on the left side of the body will stop the heart instantly. Lighter strikes will damage the shoulder and cause sever brain dysfunction. This is a fight stopper no matter how you use it.

Combat Pressure Points in Conclusion

I hope you found this article on Combat Pressure Points to be of benefit to you. I also hope my have given you a deeper understand of just how dangerous pressure points can be.

This is lost knowledge today. Please consider sharing these posts with like minded people.
