April 30, 2018
/ By Grand Master Art Mason

Why study Kyusho Jitsu? What are the advantages to the study of the science of pressure point self defense? The truth is there are MANY reasons to do so.

But today I am going to give you a list of 5 of the top reasons!

5 Reasons to Study Kyusho

These are 5 reasons to study Kyusho, but I can think of dozens. But lets start simple shall we?

It makes your techniques more effective! How does it do this? When you study Kyusho Jitsu you begin to look at how the body works, and therefore the best ways to affect the body. The neurological systems controls how everything works. Therefore attacking nerves is a MUST!
Size stops mattering! When I was young and Bruce Lee was still alive people spoke about in martial arts size does not matter. In today's martial arts competition oriented world size matters a LOT! That is because this knowledge of pressure points has been lost.
Ageless. When you study Kyusho Jitsu it also helps to compensate for aging! This one I know very well! Age and injury eventually take advantage of us all! Even Chuck Norris!
Expands your understanding of your root art. Kyusho Jitsu will also help to expand your understanding of the root art you study! There is no wasted movement in any martial art system. But if can seem like there is. That is because knowledge gets lost over time. Therefore to study Kyusho Jitsu helps to bring this back!
Understanding Kata. There is magic locked inside your Kata! But on the surface it is often overlooked. The study of Kyusho Jitsu will help you to unlock the secrets in your Kata? Why is this important? It is because when you see these things, your brain then accepts and internalizes the movement. Therefore making them, or versions of them accessible during a stressful self defense situation. Here are some other benefits of Kata training as well.

In Conclusion

Honestly these 5 reasons to study Kyusho Jitsu are JUST the BEGINNING. These are martial art related benefits to the study.

And this is where most people start! But there are many, many more reason's

I wrote an article called Kyusho Jitsu Training benefits a while back that goes into the other reason for the study of Kyusho Jitsu.

3 Most Painful Pressure Points for Devastating Results

April 28, 2018

What are the 3 Most Painful Pressure Points on the human body? There are many different pressure points that when stimulated correctly can cause vast amounts of pain!

Learning and understanding the Painful Pressure Points is an important part of the science of pressure point self defense.

So let's take a look at 3 or my favorite "pressure points that hurt." When understood correctly PAIN is a great deterrent in a low to medium self defense situation.

There are certainly many, many more and you can download a report with more below! But this will get you started working with the 3 most Painful Pressure Points.

Painful Pressure Points - Triple Warmer 17

The first of the 3 Most Painful Points on the body is TW-17. This is a great point which I am personally very fond of!!

It causes intense pain on about 90 percent of the people I have worked with. Those are pretty good odds too!

Located behind the ear posterior to the lobule of the ear, in the depression between the mandible and mastoid process.

One of the most painful and potentially deadly pressure points. Easy to press in and seal with the finger, but difficult to strike. However, once a solid strike is made the result is devastating.

As a control pressure point it is very effective! Once hit there is a potential for a separation between the spinal column and skull resulting in permanent paralysis and possible death. A jaw dislocation is also possible using proper angle and direction.

Striking this point can cause a knockout however this not recommended in Dojo training due to the serious potential consequences. This is the 1st of the 3 most Painful Pressure Points on the body.

Below is a video of using TW-17 along with the "Mental" nerve.

Pressure Points that hurt alot! - Governing Vessel 26

This is another massively most painful pressure points on the human body, which is rub pressure point primarily. However you can use as an example and hammer-fist on it and hit in and down.

GV-26 is located on the inside of the upper lip, at the junction of the frenulum and the upper gum. It is attacked by pressing in and down on the upper lip, with a 2-Way Action.

A vibrating side to side motion works best! Small motion while pressing in HARD.

This is a great point to use if someone gets on top of you. They will not stay there long if you attack this point! It can also be struck down which can cause a knockout.

Here is an article if you wish to read more about GV-26. This is the 2nd of the 3 most Painful Pressure Points.

Painful Pressure Points - Large Intestine 18

Next in the 3 most Painful Pressure Points is LI-18, which is a wonderful strike point. When hit correctly with 2 Way Action, and straight across to the other side will cause crippling pain.

If the strike is of sufficient force a knockout can also occur. But no matter how hard the strike extreme neck pain will occur.

A solid strike to Pressure Point Large Intestine 18 on one side will cause the person to drop down to their knees in pain.

The pain is very slow to dissipate, which allows time for escape in a self defense situation.

A simple inward knife hand or "ridge" hand will accomplish this very well. And because of the close proximity to ST-09 it is also possible to cause a drop in blood pressure.

Holding / supporting the neck on the opposite side with your other hand will also intensify the effect. LI-18 can also cause respiratory issues in anyone who has any kind of chronic breathing issues! You can read more about LI-18 HERE.

Below is another video example using LI-18
