In True Self Defense. How to Win before a Punch is Thrown.

* In True Self Defense there is n Body Contact

In True Self Defense: If I was choose the one thing that changed my direction in the most in my martial arts journey it was the study of Kosho Ryu, the Natural Laws of the Octagon.  

This is what made Kyusho Jitsu / Pressure Point study work so very effectively for me. It also gave me a revelation, In True Self Defense there is no Body Contract.

But what does this mean?

Back in about 2003 I was in Niagara Falls Canada with many adult members of my school. We were visiting a Buddhist Temple there.

While I was out in the park a man walking behind me took notice of the saying on the back of my T-Shirt that read "In True Self Defense there is no body contact." 

He tapped me on the shoulder and and stated to me about the saying "what a pile of S**T."  I asked him if he was in the martial arts.

His reply was yes, he was from Quebec and had been training about 5 years. I told him I was a white belt in the school "Peaceful Warriors Martial Arts."

He was very agitated about the entire subject, but soon calmed down and asked me again about the logo. When he left he had different views on the subject. He realized his training was much more than physical. And he also noticed how quickly I turned his view on the subject.

How did I turn his view to understand the saying? I told him that his perception was equal to his reality. If he believes violence is the only solution, then that is correct for him

In True Self Defense - Perception equals Reality

Understanding this is the beginning of martial art mastery. Your perception is equal to your reality. We live in a prison of our own creation, our own mind.  The world is suffering the karma of the sin of apathy today. I know of several people who have been locked in their homes now for about 15 months.

They believe that if they go out they will die. There is no truth to their belief, but it is reality to them. They have internalized the propaganda of the day, and there reality is suffering.

In True Self Defense - Opinion is Illusion

We all have opinions, and if you look deep we are all usually wrong. Opinion and the need to express it is a function of the ego. And in martial arts training EGO is a big problem. Ego is the enemy. Now we all have an ego. The ego keeps us alive. 

But when it becomes excessive we are in trouble.

Your opinion of a fight or a self defense situation is never FACT. It is opinion based on perception. A true student of the martial arts is a student for all is their life. You stop being a student when you stop being teachable. Martial Arts training IS AN OPEN MIND

In True Self Defense - Love equals Forgiveness.

Hatred, there is so much of this today. And hatred is pushed hard by the political left in the world and media. Why? Because they have opinions of the way other people should live their lives. Along with hatred comes all the low thinking vices like envy, lying, stealing and cheating.

Forgiveness begins with you. It has very little to do with the offending person. You forgive yourself for giving them the power to control your thinking, your feeling and your actions. When that happens then is forgiveness can then be turned outward towards the offender.

This does not mean they will accept and it does not matter if they do or do not.

In true self defense there is no body contact. When the 3 precepts above are learned, internalized and practiced you can deal with almost any situation and do no harm. Defending yourself and others without doing harm is the ultimate of training. Body Mind and spirit.

In True Self Defense in Conclusion

In True Self Defense CONCLUSION

This is only scratching the surface of this topic. It is a deep as the Pacific Ocean itself. It is possible that at some point you may have to do harm. But applying these laws, natural laws to your life puts you in control.

And if harm must be done it will be justified. And you will sleep at night as the result.

Special Application Pressure Points. What is so special?

* Special Application Pressure Points

So, what do I mean why I refer to "Special Application Pressure Points?" How are they different from other pressure points points on the body? What makes them different from other types of pressure points like Alarm Points? Are these the same as Special Purpose Pressure Points

Let me begin with YES, I have renamed what I have termed as Special Purpose Pressure Points to Special Application Pressure Points. The reason is these 4 types of pressure points have a deep application to them. So the term "special purpose" does not do them justice.

Special Application Pressure Points - What are they?

There are 4 classification of these Special Application Pressure Points, and you may have heard of these 4 classifications before. But I promise you have not seen the power they possess! 

Let's break them down:

  1. Underlying Indicator Pressure Points
  2. Influential Pressure Points
  3. Collateral Pressure Points
  4. Confluent Pressure Points

Note I have linked all the above to articles with more information. 

However these articles only scratch the surface! And I am currently in the process of writing an eBook on the topic it is so vast. Depending when you read this article the eBook already be finished.

Why are these types of pressure points so important? Because each grouping has a profound effect on the body. And because of this you can dramatically increase the effect of a pressure point strike, and in truth take to a deadly level with ease. 

Back when I created Combat Pressure Points I wanted to do a video series on high level self defense and how pressure point nerve strikes can be applied. Application is usually the most confusing part of Kyusho Jitsu for people. And they feedback on this course was great!

Then when the sequel was introduced I based it on my learn on Confluent Pressure Points. That is what the video course Kill Shot Pressure Points is all about. Very deep information but not that hard to apply! 

Special Application Pressure Points and Dim Mak

Most of all, and really I found this incredible, was the application of this to Dim Mak theories. My new course Dim Mak Theories to Street Applications is based on Influential Pressure Points and how they affect the body oping it up for Dim Mak energy attacks. 

This is some really cool stuff! If you are not familiar with the Dim Mak Project you can read more about it here and get a free video too. Dim Mak is a complex art, with a deep study and understanding need to apply it.

I am hoping that course will help to shed some light on its power.

Special Application Pressure Points in Conclusion

Kyusho Article CONCLUSION

And most of all in regard to this article read the LINKED articles on each of the 4 classifications of Special Application Pressure Points.

This will get you started understanding their power! If you do the work you will get the results. 

Thank you for reading Special Application Pressure Points.

Chi Training and Health. What secrets have been hidden?

Chi Training and Health

Chi Training and Health: The world is on fire, but it is till just a brush fire. And the fuel being used to create this fire? FEAR. Really aside from the damage of an uncontrolled fire it is kinds fun to watch. Today we will look at putting out this fire. Chi Training and Health, your natural state of being. 

Now I not longer live in the "west,"  and I have made my final journey to Canada. I will never return again. But I swear, the average IQ for the country has dropped better than 30 points.]

Why do I say this? Because today people do not want to learn truth, they want to be right. And my observations lead me to believe they LOVE this "pandemic." It gives them an excuse for their failed lives, their misery. It removes accountability for failure.

So what is the remedy? First the realization you cannot save the world, nor should you try. All you can do is fix your own life. Become physically, mentally and spiritually stronger.

Chi Training and Health - Fear

* Self Defense Fearmonger

Fear causes the body to become "acid." And you can feel this in your own body. Headaches, stomach issues to name a few.

But they have chemicals for you with side effects that include death!

Why would you take these? Brainwashed

Chi study, mediation and focusing on health not disease, changes the chemistry of the body to alkaline. Then the immune system works as intended, perfectly. Then you do not look to "deadly vaxxes" all unapproved by the FDA,  purely experimental so a drug company can made billions at your expense. And the drug company admits this on their website!

But fear, which is really never real, leads people to BAD decisions.

And if this is so great it would not require BULLYING, or massive marketing campaigns telling you that you need to care about others, when they are only do it for power and profit. 

Modern medicine is not about health, it is about illness. Keeping people at the drug store and SICK. You kill the beast by stopping his food supply! 

The money train STOPS DEAD if people become healthy. This is why there are laws prohibiting herbs for saying they can cure. All while after a trillion dollars of research there is no cure for cancer. ponder that a minute or two, 

And FEAR is used to keep you going to the pharmacy rather then focusing on your own health, what you consume and how you think.

I can quote you countless factually based studies and statistics (as apposed to lies called science today) that would shock you. But I cannot save the world, nor do I want to. <<people are free to make their own choices, but there is karma to all choices. I cannot feel bad for them.

Science today, which I call "lie-ence" has become a cult like religion lead by a evil criminal named Fauci who is their priest. Remember Jones Town? Drink the "koolaide" for a better life!

Chi Training and Health

Your body is a near perfect machine. The race of human has been in existence for thousands of years. We in TRUTH do not know how long. Empires have risen and fallen, and yet people survive. But today the unprecedented LIES and corruption of Government, Medical "science" and media are beyond anything we have ever encountered in history.

It is time to wake up and look to our inner self, looking for answers,  realizing that Chi Training and Health go hand in hand. No one needs dangerous chemicals to be healthy! Research a question. What has medical science CURED in the last hundred years? Research will tell you their claims are lies and the truth is the cures where herd immunity not their chemicals. 

You will heard claims, but never proof. When you ask for proof you are attacked. When you find truth all lies become self evident. 

Chi Training and Health in Conclusion

Chi Training and Health CONCLUSION

In this article on Chi Training and Health I am offering you an opportunity to reach amazing health. All aspects!

And you can do it without any cost. But unlike the LIES of the ideologues today, you have to do the work! If you do not do the work you will not get ANY result. 

We make the world better by making ourselves better. No one can save the world, but through Chi Training and Health we make our lives better and can share this knowledge.

Never trust your health to those who profit from your illness. Thank you for reading Chi Training and Health.

Dangerous Neck Pressure Points. How to paralyze the human body?

Dangerous Neck Pressure Points

This one slipped my mind! It was not until I was doing some updates on articles at this blog did I realize I had not covered Dangerous Neck Pressure Points! I have talked about Pressure Points of the Chest, the Head, the arms, the legs and the back.

But not Dangerous Neck Pressure Points.

So today I will discuss these. Most of these have been covered in other articles, and I will link those articles also. But I know many of you readers like it when I groups like this.  So onward!

Dangerous Neck Pressure Points

Pressure Points on the Neck are great, and they are also very easy to access. The brain will protect the "throat" itself by dropping the chin. This reduces the chance of a throat strikes, but little to nothing to protect the main most Dangerous Neck Pressure Points! The brain will protect what I called "vital areas" but not pressure points.

Dangerous Neck Pressure Points - Pressure Point ST-09

The Pressure Point Stomach 5

This pressure point is arguably the most DEADLY on the human body. Located right over the carotid sinus. The carotid sinus is a Baroreceptor, whose purpose is to detect an increase in blood pressure. And then regulate or drop the pressure. 

When the brain detects an increase in blood pressure, the vagus nerve sends a signal to the vasomotor center and this initiates a Vasodilatation, and slowing of the Heart rate to lower the blood pressure to normal.

A strike here will cause an instant knockout.

 However because this is from a physical strike any damage to the area can cause death because the blood pressure never going back up. 

Anyone with a heart condition is in serious trouble if struck here.  Never use this pressure point for demonstration purposes.  Article on Pressure Point ST-09.

Dangerous Neck Pressure Points - Pressure Point LI-18

This is another extremely painful and dangerous pressure point. LI-18 is located on the lateral side of the neck, level with the tip of the Adam's apple, between the sternal head and the clavicular head of the sternocleidomastoids muscle.

Use care when striking this pressure point as not to strike ST-09 at same time;, if you do death is possible!  A hard strike can cause permanent damage to the Adams Apple”.

Large Intestine 18

Because of the potential for disaster I do not recommend this pressure point for demonstrations unless you have a lot of experience. Here is an article on Pressure Point LI-18. 

Dangerous Neck Pressure Points - Pressure Point TW-16

* Deadly Pressure Point TW-18

It was this pressure point, while I was writing on article on it, made me realize I had not done any work on Dangerous Neck Pressure Points. This is another devastating pressure point. TW-16 is located posterior and inferior to the mastoid process, on the posterior border of the sternocleidomastoideus, level with SI-17, and BL-10 at the hairline, in the posterior margin at the insertion of the sternocleidomastoid muscle.

This is one of the more dangerous pressure points on the body. This is a one-shot knockout pressure point and a hard-enough strike will cause death. A lesser strike results in a high emotional state, where all things seem very critical to the person. Paranoia is not uncommon.

Like other neck pressure points this one needs to be reserved for life and death situations not demonstrations. Here is a detailed article on Pressure Point TW-16.

Dangerous Neck Pressure Points in Conclusion

Kyusho Article CONCLUSION

Before anyone complains, the links to the medical references go to my Encyclopedia of Kyusho Jitsu Online. You need an account to access these.

The reason I am doing this in this article is because I consider this to be the most important Kyusho Jitsu project I have ever done. And I am going to promote it.

As for Dangerous Neck Pressure Points this article gives you my top 3. There are a few other I can mention like Pressure Point SI-16. The next is a great targeting area for self defense.

Pressure Point TW-16. What makes the Neck so Dangerous?

Pressure Point TW-16

Pressure Point TW-16: Today I am going to continue my discussion of another pressure point on the Triple Warmer Meridian. That is Pressure Point TW-16  a very dangerous and effective Pressure Point.

Most of all it is pretty easy to access being located on the neck.  This information is so important I wrote an eBook recently called Mastering Triple Warmer Meridian

In today's world this Kyusho Jitsu Book is a must have.

Pressure Point TW-16

I have also over the past months written articles on TW-17, TW-18 plus some information on the Triple Warmer Meridian itself. And I will list the other related Kyusho Article below. Plus I am pretty sure I have written more articles on this topic that any other sets of pressure points of the body.

So what makes Pressure Point TW-16 and the others like it so important today? They always were important for one thing, however today we live in a very odd time in history. Today wild swings of emotion, people believing that unstable emotions, are considered virtuous, and that makes the learning critical.

 Actually that is what the book I wrote is about. 

Pressure Point TW-16 - Location and Effects

Pressure Point TW-16 is located posterior and inferior to the mastoid process, on the posterior border of the sternocleidomastoideus, level with SI-17, and BL-10 at the hairline, in the posterior margin at the insertion of the sternocleidomastoid muscle.

This is one of the more dangerous pressure points on the body. Also this is a one-shot knockout pressure point and a hard-enough strike will cause death. A lesser strike results in a high emotional state, where all things seem very critical. Paranoia is not uncommon.

This pressure can be used to cause a "state change" in an attacker. That is powerful!

Like other neck pressure points this one needs to be reserved for life and death situations not demonstration. You do not want to end up with your Uke having serious injury of complications. I have seen this happen too many times.

Pressure Point TW-16 in Conclusion

Pressure Point TW-16 CONCLUSION

Most of all today, with the unprecedented amount of mentally ill people walking around the streets we must study and see its relationship to not just self defense but the study of Kyusho Jitsu also.

Some people in an agitated highly emotion state of mind is very unpredictable. 

Perhaps you will never encounter this where you live. I know I am very unlikely too in a small mountain village. However "chance favors the prepared mind" and we as martial artist should always expect the unexpected. While in Canada I saw a lot of this. People there are nuts today. I watch one women get homicidal because other person touched their face. This lady needs a rubber cell. 

Today I am making a refocus on Kyusho Jitsu. More articles will appear here about everything pressure points. I will not be writing anymore editorials, and very few direct self defense articles. I urge everyone to bookmark this blog and return often. There is a wealth of free information here. 

Thank you for reading Pressure Point TW-16.

Pressure Point ST-08. What makes this pressure point dangerous?

The Pressure Point Stomach 5

Pressure Point ST-08 is a pressure point most people will never look at. And that is too bad because it is easy to access and extremely dangerous at the same time. So I decided to write about it today because I saw someone hit here with a weapon in a cop show. 

And the results are devastating! Aside from the physical damage that can be caused at this area of the head there is a lot going on here from a Kyusho Jitsu prospective.

Also that also makes it worth a look. 

Pressure Point ST-08 - Location and Effects

Pressure Point ST-08 is located 0.5 cun within the anterior hairline at the corner of the forehead. The pressure point is found in the galea aponeurotica on the superior margin of the temporalis muscle

If you need to end a fight pressure points of the head are a must learn. The number of effective and dangerous pressure points found on the head is amazing really. 

Striking this pressure point will cause great localized pain, nausea, concussions, and knockouts. A hard strike can easily fracture the skull at this pressure point. Small weapons tend to work best. This is also a massive Chi Drainage pressure point. Death is common from hard strikes.  Therefore caution needs to be used in training.

Now this is not the best pressure point to use with a great size difference, in that case I would be looking at ST-05 or ST-09. Most of all you always want to train within correct Body Mechanics for the best result. However if heights are close Pressure Point ST-08 is an excellent target area. 

Hence correct Body Mechanics, not muscle mass gives power.  Pressure Point ST-08 is an important pressure point to know!

Pressure Point ST-08 in Conclusion

Pressure Point ST-08 CONCLUSION

Pressure Point ST-08 is an epic pressure point that is easy to train for. And also it is great if you have trained in my Cane courses

I recently released an eBook called Self Defense for Disabilities which featured cane defense for those who have mobility issues. 

Myself am of the belief all martial artist should do the cane training. At some point in life everyone needs one if they live long enough. And lets face it we are in an industry in which leg injuries occur often! So get over yourself, the ego aspect and train with a cane. This opens up a world of opportunities within Kyusho Jitsu itself. I have heard so often people say they would feel "stupid carrying a cane."  Remember martial arts training, to be successful you must let go of ego.

And realize we are talking about a Stomach Meridian Pressure Point, which is EARTH under the 5 Element Theory of the Cycle of Destruction. Plus a CANE IS WOOD.  Yes a cane made of wood does work in the Cycle of Destruction. 

Thank you for reading this article on Pressure Point ST-08! See you in the next article.

Associated Alarm Point BL-22. When you Attack the Back!

Associated Alarm Point BL-22

Associated Alarm Point BL-22: I have done dozens of articles over the years on different pressure points of the body.

And these have been very popular. Today I am going to look at something very powerful, that is Associated Alarm Point BL-22

This is the Associated Alarm Point for Triple Warmer. A few days back I did an article on the Alarm Point for Triple Warmer which is CV-05.

I have linked article to Alarm Points, Associated Alarm Points and the Triple Warmer Meridian if you are not familiar with the terms.

Associated Alarm Point BL-22 - Location

BL-22 is 1.5 cun lateral to the lower border of the spinous process of the 1st lumbar vertebra of the spine. In the lumbodorsal fascia, between the Longissimus and iliocostalis muscles. 

Note while the Bladder Meridian is located on both sides of the spine, it is the right side we are concerned with here when talking about Associated Alarm Point BL-22.  Being the Associated Alarm Point for Triple Warmer it is right side only.

The left side is simply a Bladder Pressure Point and not the Associated Alarm Point  You strike this pressure point in and down for the best effect.

Associated Alarm Point BL-22 - Effects

What happens when you strike Associated Alarm Point BL-22? The effects is to disrupt the neurological aspects of the organ in question, which in this case is the hypothalamus.  This messes up the endocrine system of the body. The harder the strike the more potential to shut the neurological connection down. 

But the hypothalamus is in the brain, so how does this work? It causes the electrical current to "bleed" thus taking nerve function to to this loss from the hypothalamus. This also includes Chi Bleeding as well. You also need to realize this is all high frequency and therefore more susceptible to interference. 

Fainting is common with a solid strike, as well as disorientation. That makes following strikes easier to execute, and since the mind is not functioning so well the effects of other strikes become amplified. 

 in Conclusion

Kyusho Article CONCLUSION

I have done several articles on different pressure point of the Triple Warmer Meridian.

And being this is an Associated Alarm Point we are looking at Triple Warmer not Bladder.

In my new eBook Mastering Triple Warmer Meridian I go into the amazing power of everything Triple Warmer. You may wish to check this out. 

If you are looking for a GREAT reference for all things Kyusho checkout the Encyclopedia of Kyusho below. Thank you for reading about Associated Alarm Point BL-22.

Pressure Point Psychology. How to Confuse the Mind

* Pressure Point Psychology

Pressure Point Psychology. How to Confuse the Mind. "All is far in love and war." Now there is an old saying for you! Today I am going to give away some secrets.  So lets look at Pressure Point Psychology - The Power of the Triple Warmer Meridian. This will below you mind!

There are many "martial artist" out there who are more than happy to tell you how Kyusho Jitsu does not work. But that is statement always come from lazy, self important people.  I have been dealing with these failures in training for decades. If you do not do the work, you will NEVER get the results. And no matter how much some does not like this, it is just FACT

Now did you see what I did there?

Let's continue. I have a "follower" and I have to call him a follower because he wants everything handed to him on a silver platter. Now I put up with him for the most part because I find it entertaining. He will ask me a question, and wants me to do a video for an answer. I stopped doing video long ago! I tell him to go and train. Then ask questions. 

Today no one wants to do the research. This is one reason the world is in so much trouble today. People see something on TV (the idiot box) and believe it to be FACTUAL. They believe this no matter how RIDICULOUS the information. 

Pressure Point Psychology - Again I ask, did you see what I am doing?

I am using Pressure Point Psychology - The Power of the Triple Warmer Meridian to get an emotional response from you. And I will always get an emotional response or reaction. Some will get angry. Others will laugh. But there is always a reaction, strong or mild. 

The Triple Warmer Meridian is link directed to the endocrine system of the body, the emotions of the person, and therefore can be altered at will if you train to do so. Because no mtter where you strike on the body you active Triple Warmer, and even words do the same!

Pressure Point Psychology

I am sure you have seen the crap out there today about "if you hurt my feelings you are using hate speech." In my view that is pathetic. However it gives someone who trains for this a great advantage! 

Back a few months ago I released an eBook called Self Defense from Brainwashing. My hardcore students purchased it, but for the most part people do not want to admit they are being programmed. And that is OK, we all become aware at different times, and some never will. But there is some good information there on this exact topic! When you understand the tricks, you become enlightened. After all "all is far in love and war." I would certainly use this knowledge against someone who is an issue in my life!

Pressure Point Psychology. How to Confuse the Mind

Many years ago one of my boys turned me on to a TV series. It was a UK series called "Sherlock." But the reason was to watch the character and his ability to observe his surrounding and learn about people from their body language. It is an amazing show!

One of the final episodes of the series there was one called "Pressure Points." Now this was not pressure points of the body, but pressure points of the mind.  "Pressure Point Psychology!" The bad guy would learn about people he needed to control and find their "pressure points" and then use the information to control them. 

He tried to do this with Sherlock, and Sherlock played along. But if you understand what is happening you can counter act it. This is all very Yin/Yang also. The bad guy failed miserably and put himself in a vulnerable situation which cost him his life.  

Understand Pressure Point Psychology.

Pressure Point Psychology in Conclusion

Pressure Point Psychology CONCLUSION

First training is the ONLY path to get to the destination. And that means training the body and mind. Body is first.

Without the physical it is impossible to get the mind to a high level in Budo.

Spirituality is last. This is all part and parcel together.

Right now I am working on an eBook about How to Create an Eclectic Martial Art. But I am now doing one more on this subject. It is called Mastering the Triple Warmer Meridian

Kyusho Jitsu Education. Life is about learning.

Kyusho Jitsu Education

Kyusho Jitsu Education: I have written similar articles in the past. But today getting a Kyusho Jitsu Education is a little different.

When I began my pressure point education in early 2001 things were straight forward. I drove once per month for a year to London Ontario Canada to be taught by a true Kyusho Jitsu legend Grand Master Steve Stewart.

The after a year I made two journeys per month. 

This was exciting! But today with the lies perpetrated on society by corrupt governments, medical systems and media, the world is a far difference place.

Kyusho Jitsu Education

We are at war, even if most people do not see this because it is not conventional. However that may change.

Today a Kyusho Jitsu Education and martial arts training are more important than ever before.

 However you MUST BECOME SELF MOTIVATED or you will fail. There is no instructor standing before you to push you like in older days. My article "end of the martial arts dojo" talks about this more. Everything is moving online.

Kyusho Jitsu Education - Changes Today

After the lies of the past year most children have lost so much time education wise they can never catch up. However it is not really a loss because the education system in the western world is a joke. It is a massive disservice to society and if I had young child today they would be taught at home. Education has an agenda and that is to program child to fail. 

But there is a silver lining because their always is! If you do some work you can find amazing information online today. Educational opportunities far beyond the main street. As an example I take online IT courses. From a private company interested in teaching people.

Not to push some BS political point for view. However if you search from Google you won't find anything but crap. I never use Google for anything. This is a great search engine here. DuckDuckGo

Kyusho Jitsu Education - Martial Arts Online

And the martial arts world has the same potential. And when it comes to online I have been leading the field for some time. On of my long time students, who resides in Malaysia Master Muhammad Ali has course at Udemy.

Udemy will not allow the link, but if you are interest contact Master Ali here. These courses are amazing! If you want some great organization of content this is amazing stuff!

But the fact is you today in order to succeed must become far more self motivated than ever before! You must become very discipled to succeed. Because no one is going to push you. Look today at how many people love the idea of just staying home and collecting an income from the government? I can only cll them PATHETIC.

I do not want anything from any government but to be left alone to succeed. And the feeling this brings, success is far greater then any other they of feeling I can explain. When someone as an example purchases my Kyusho Home Study Course and then emails questions about the content I still get very excited! 

Kyusho Jitsu Education - Do not let life get in the way!

But I often see life will get in the way and then the focus is lost and does not return. Believe me I have had life get in the way countless times. But self disciple brings me back to center and I march on.  I get up before the sun everyday to answer emails, write articles, book and video to offer students the best possible information I can give.

And I have been doing this for decades.

I do not sit pissing and moaning like so many. Some of my former students from my Dojo days are professionals at this! 

Kyusho Jitsu Education in Conclusion

Kyusho Jitsu Education CONCLUSION

The only limit people have is their mind. If you feed your brain crap, like as an example the work of Commie Karl Marx, you will fail in life. Consume things that empower you, not crap from criminals that limit you! 

Today we have some amazing opportunities in front of us. Rather than whine and complain about the world seize the opportunity. 

We have a long hard road to recover from this past year. Many people are afraid, and so afraid they can no longer think. They will not survive these times. 

As frustrating as this is it is still an opportunity! Surround yourself with like minded people and get training! You will never regret training and learning. Martial arts is about Body Mind and Spirit. A Kyusho Jitsu Education is the MIND part. Your root art is the BODY and Chi is the SPIRIT.

Old Man in the Mountains. A Life of Inner Peace

* Old Man in the Mountains

Old Man in the Mountains. A Life of Inner Peace:

So today I want to give everyone an update from the Old Man in the Mountains as to what is happening in not only in Kyusho but my martial art teaching in general.

Most of all our world is a very different place than it was about 40 years ago when I began my martial art journey. And it is certainly different than it was 8 years ago when the Kyusho Jitsu World Alliance was founded.

Old Man in the Mountains

Firstly I will not disclose my exact location to anyone, let's just say I am happy to be where I belong. I have much work to do! And it will take years to accomplish, which I love. And I am blessed to have a great team, my pack, to this all done. 

Back on August 11th 2015 I renounced the world and moved with one of my boys to East Europe. This was the best thing I ever did!  After raising kids, working for other people to provide for them I think I am well entitled to enjoy my "senior" years without the BS Communist Canada brings to the table. Canada is the perfect example of instanity as they continue to do the same thing over and over again expecting a different result. Then when they fail they are stupid enough to look to a government, the ones that have lied to them all their lives, for answers. Morons.....

Old Man in the Mountains

And not to mention the non stop drama. (and this move caused a lot of drama with with former students and friends). Importantly I had dedicated my life to my family, and now as they are all grown I should be allowed to live my life. And all my family is always welcome to join me. 

There are many great things coming to the world in the future. So how do I know this?

Because I pay attention and I am awake. Most people, the masses are still fast asleep believing all the lies presented to them. They will even fight to protect these lies and the liars.

Hence this is called Stockholm Syndrome. I once had Stockholm Syndrome linked to a  complete definition but the FASCIST tech companies won't allow the link now. Talk about Nazi ideologies!

It is both kinda funny and pathetic at the same time. I have no right or interest on imposing my views on others. So I just keep quiet. Life is better that way. I love being the Old Man in the Mountains.

Old Man in the Mountains on Social Media.

* Old Man in the Mountains

The reason for this article actually is because of a comment from a man this a while back because I deleted all my videos I had made on YouTube. Actually I deleted the videos from my old school channel also.

All things "old man in the mountains" are gone from YouTube. Why? Because Google / YouTube are a corrupt company pushing lies to the public, fear mongering and censoring. I just cannot support them making money on my content, when I am denied doing the same.

Therefore when a company pushes an agenda that causes harm to people this is a company that should not be supported. And I will not support them. I being a consumer have all the power to chose what I do with my money. Most of all these companies believe they have control. This is a lie, they do not have any control unless we give it to them.

Old Man in the Mountains

Therefore I cannot in good conscious allow my content to be used to make them any money and feed this demon. And the only way to beat them is to bankrupt them. This is the power of the free market! When I did this someone commented "do you really thin what you do will make a difference." 

People this pathetic attitude is why the world is how ii is. It is called APATHY.

Sadly a while back I also received a scathing comment here from a former student. And from someone who I stood up for countless times and support him in his darkest times. He gossips like a child about me, knowing nothing about my life. Very sad. Therefore you must remove people who do not want the best for you from your life. People love to assume they know your circumstances when in truth they know nothing.

Old Man in the Mountains - Future of my teachings

Very importantly while I will always be involved in Kyusho Jitsu because I love the study, I have expanded what I am doing. My root art of Hon Sang Mu Sa Hapkido was founded by myself and my boys in 2006 with the World Budo Alliance. It was founded based on Kul Sul Hapkido, Pressure Points and the Natural Laws of Kosho Ryu. Kosho Ryu is the foundation of my root art.

This is what I often refer to ask Octagon training, however it is much more than this. It is actually a complete martial art. You can read more about this in a course I am creating called Kosho Core Concepts Series here. There are several other video courses and books available too. I am the Old Man in the Mountains.

Wolf's Den Dojo - Old Man in the Mountains

* Wolf's Den Dojo

I am also very soon going to build a private Dojo. What I means is this is not going to be a public facing Dojo open to the general public. It will be on the same property as my Wolf's Den Dog Rescue. You can read more about the Wolf's Den Dojo and the program offered here at the Peaceful Warriors Martial Arts website. 

What I will be teaching at this Dojo is Kosho Ryu. I have been working hard now for months as I reconnect, and continue to learn this very important ancient martial art that can be traced back to 1235.

And also give back to doggies and my love for them. We will never have peace among men when we cannot respect dogs and other animals.

Old Man in the Mountains in Conclusion

Man in the Mountains CONCLUSION

There is an old saying, "if you do not stand for something you fall for everything."

Martial Arts training, because when taught and studied correctly is a trinity of Body - Mind - Spirit. This is a positive energy which teaching can change the world

And in 2024 I do plan on a seminar in Brasov Romania. It is called the Romanian Martial Arts Training Camp. These seminars will be used for feeding the Wolf's Den Dojo and those interested in training with me personally.
