Chi Power of Intention: The masters of old, men like Morihei Ueshiba, Hohan Soken and Seiyu Oyata to name a very few had a presence. And when they entered a room you knew they were there. Their students talk about their incredible abilities, but these abilities where not just physical, they were mental and spiritual also. And they possessed the Chi Power of Intention. 

Most of all some say that the commercialization of the martial arts has caused much of their teachings to be lost. And this is very possible. But I do not believe it has happened everywhere and in every Dojo. And I have known many martial artists today who also have a presence to them. Men like Chuck Norris,  Wally Jay, Remy Presas and George Dillman have carried on these traditions. The all have / had presence and understand the power of their chi and its relationship to intention.

Chi Power of Intention

Most importantly Martial Arts today is very "sport focused" and that is not in my view a good thing, but it is also not a bad thing either. It is however different.  And different because the deadly techniques the masters of old knew and taught have been removed for safety reasons. They were also removed for other reasons like the teaching of children. 

However, that does not mean they are forever lost. I realized this in the mid 90's and began searching for knowledgeable masters willing to teach what they knew. And I found many!

Most of all, today my focus is to bring this information to you, if you are willing to learn.

Do NOT Seek to be like the Master
Chi Power of Intention

And you see a bad mentality today. People idolize "celebrities" from all walks of life, then you discover the depth of their corruption. Do I REALLY need to name names? I do not have heroes, I idolize no one! Never put someone's success above your own!

And I understand something very important. "Do not seek to be like the master, rather seek what the master sought."

So, tell me do you think that the men I mention above spent their time arguing about politics on Facebook? Or promoting the lies of the powers that be to show people what good people they are with endless virtue signalling? Watching TV every evening, eating themselves to an early grave? 

And they focus on what their masters knew and were consumed to learn everything possible in their chosen art.

Training is the KEY to success in every aspect of life! These men trained physically, and mentally. They also did something not done today in martial art Dojo's, they meditated developing a strong mind and body connection.

The Chi Connection - Chi Power of Intention

Therefore what is the Chi Power of Intention connection here? Development of Chi is essential, for mental and physical health. And strong Chi development gives you a presence in life. This intention is what makes martial arts effective in all walks of life. And this is why the martial arts is a way of life and NOT a hobby or sport!

And I am often asked by new students what makes me so effective with Kyusho Jitsu and knockouts. The reason is that I have a deep understanding of Intention, and I have spent decades in Chi training and development.

Chi Power of Intention in Conclusion

No one has the ability to move in with a martial arts teacher and focus exclusively on training. Thank you for reading this article on Chi Power of Intention.

Kyusho Jitsu and Meditation - the problem

Stress has always been a problem in the modern world. But today people are bombarded 24/7 with propaganda and contradictory information for the purpose of dumbing down the people. That is obvious or at least it should be if you are reading this. And it is working very very well!

This type of brainwashing causes a condition in the mind called cognitive despondence, which we do not yet know the potential issues in the long term. My guess is we are making sociopaths.

We have now created a world of people who are mentally very unstable, who think words are violence and physical violence is OK. Where lies are truth and facts are racist and dangerous. Most people do not want to leave their homes and are more than willing to comply with Orwellian lies and government corruption just because they want to live in peace. And I do not blame them. WE do not know who the enemy is any longer. 

But the mind must be nourished or it will die! Many diseases of the brain are reaching epidemic levels, 

Kyusho Jitsu and Meditation - the benefits

The idea of either just getting in shape, or becoming a champion is prevalent. It is a pass time for most and not a way of life.

Plus most of what I have seen in the real world despite its claims fall very short in the self defense department. This is why I wrote an article called martial artist are not self defense experts.  And years and years ago Chi Development and Meditation were part of the teachings.

Today this is not so because of our politically correct world. And from what I see the knowledge is just not there any longer. 

Kyusho Jitsu and Meditation - Benefits

The benefits of meditation are many. Here is a short list for you to consider. So let's begin shall we!

• Calming the mind - control of out of control emotional reactions to everything!
• Focus - being able to focus the mind, to control and give attention to things that matter.
• Breathing - learning to breath correctly and fully
• Increasing Chi flow in the meridians
• And Increases intelligence and staves off mental deterioration

This is a short list! There are many more benefits to be considered. Here is an article where 47 people  comment on what meditation has done for them in their lives.

What about Kyusho Jitsu?

Kyusho Jitsu and Meditation - Meditation Training

There is a lot of crap out there being taught as meditation. Ok I said it! As an example i am NOT a fan of "guided meditation." To me it is simply a self help marketing ploy. Why do I say this? For one reason it does not create the habit of meditation because people do not see results and stop doing it and second people fall asleep. I know I have tried it! It was boring after 2 days! Perhaps it is for you. I guess it depends on the author. 

Also I have been asked about music during meditation. But I suppose it depends on the music. Personally no, I am not a fan. But that is up to the individual.

Kyusho Jitsu and Meditation in Conclusion

And from experience, like martial arts training, Kyusho Jitsu and Meditation are worth every moment of the study and dedication. Thank you for reading this article on Kyusho Jitsu and Meditation.

This is a knockout pressure point and because of the location is very dangerous if stuck with too much force as a demonstration.

Years ago a martial arts instructor demonstrated with a student on a TV show in the USA caused an emergency situation requiring a doctor to be brought in to help the student. The student was fine afterward, however this shows the power of this pressure point. 

Striking Pressure Point LV-13 on the left side of the body can also easily result in a ruptured spleen which can be deadly in of itself.

In truth the evidence of the Death of the Western Culture is overwhelming of the good that was done.  Yet the mentally ill still attack daily. Pathetic. Bring back asylums!

Mental Illness of the Masses

Seriously people do you not know "hatred" like this is a serious mental illness? Some will argue this, but when an emotion affects the way you live your life, you have a SERIOUS problem! When a group hates one man so much they will destroy their own life, well society is dying. [ Trump Derangement Syndrome ]

And I no longer trust doctors because they do not do what is right today, but what they do what they are told! Or they have changed the oath from "do no harm" to KILL as many as possible and get more money!  But I opted out of western medicine 30 plus years ago now. My health is exemplary also. 

How can I trust them when the TV is full of ads for dangerous drugs promising to give you a wonderful life (but the side effect may kill you or cause you to kill others). Then outlawing treatments that work because there do not make any money selling them. This is the very definition of corruption. And the west embraces it......

However many doctors are trying to speak out today about the current lies. It is a hard battle because corrupt media and government try to discredit them.  But my Kudos to them for trying! Also as they try to stop the genocide be done by big pharma and corrupt doctors, politicians, and media. 

Weakness is now Virtue

Lies are the major contributor to the Death of the Western Culture! No one is ever good enough. Life is a journey of self improvement and self understanding. And we used to help the weak become strong. Now we enable them telling them are "bold and beautify" so they feel good for 10 minutes and we as a society can virtue signal about "good people" we are. If you think this way, and the masses do, you are not good, you are pathetic! When a group of people you treat this way has a 40% plus suicide rate society has failed!

The sad truth is today this "pandemic" is loved by about 60% or more of the people in the western cultures. Staying home, wearing a mask, social distancing, non of which is based on science, allows them to play the victim card. Wait till you find out the truth of this one! The Ukraine??? YEP....

They can show the world how much better people they are because they understand the "greater good." They embrace untested medication to show just how good they are. And lets not forget the FREE MONEY! And over time all communist's and their government spoke of the "greater good." Are you so stupid you cannot see this? Or are YOU a commie?

All the while people with health issue who cannot wear a mask because of their medical condition are treated like criminals, while the virtue signalers yell at the top of their lungs for equity! 

Non Stop Lies

Lies are the major contributor to the Death of the Western Culture! This is the thing that disgust me the most. People today LIE NON STOP.  

People lie about everything and anything. Regardless of importance. The "programming" on television has been pushing the |virtue" of lying for decades. Look at the as an example 1970's show Threes Company. All three lie about everything and somehow people find this funny?

Our politicians lie non stop. A truthful statement has never come out of Pedophile Biden's mouth in his 50 years in politics! How this man is FREE proves my point about the Death of the Western Culture. There is no "rule of law" any longer.

That piece of human excrement Justine Trudeau has committed violations of the Criminal Code of Canada and was not even investigated. He LIES his way out. Rule of Law in my former country? It is a JOKE!

And as of this update he is in hiding because the country has risen against him. The voice of the"fringe minority."

And now our doctors, police, and every agency imaginable have joined in. That EVILS BASTARD Fauci has lied to Congress. Now it look like there will finally be an investigation. He crimes are beyond anything anyone in history has done.

And people tolerate it! You go lie to Congress and see what happens. Anthony Fauci is the evilest man to every live. He makes Joseph Mengele look like a boy scout. Robert F Kennedy's PROOF is his evil tells all. Yet this bastard is still as of the moment "above the law."

I have a friend in Canada who employer has lied about the "Health and Safety Act" in Ontario Canada to protect the lie of the narrative today. She needs to go to prison.  I have read the code, what she claims is there is NOT. And this bitch is in HR.

Lying is NOT VIRTUE. If you lie you are a just a liar. 

"Always tell the truth, or at least don't lie" Dr Jordan Peterson

Each day we get closer to the end of, the death of the western culture as communism becomes reality. It is time to bury this failed experiment. 

When you bring this point up you are called names like racist and conspiracy theorist. Not that I personally are about being labeled. 

Let's look at a few example from history

• Fall of the Roman Empire
• Fall of the Greek Empire
• Rise of the 3rd Reich

I could literally give 100 different examples and factual links. But why? Most people will never read and educate themselves. History repeats, right down to wearing masks. But the masses want what is coming to the west! They embrace the socialist/communist agenda that murdered over 100 million people in the 20th century. 

"Today rather then fight a common enemy people fight each other on behalf of the enemy."

There are many trying to fight what is happening. But the people have been successfully divided. That is hard to fight against. You know longer know who the enemy is.

 Today it can be a family member who lies and turns you in because they do not like the way you "THINK." Or they become ill and blame you for it! I saw this coming years ago and pretty much stay clear or the masses. I am the Howard Hughes of the martial arts world. 

In Conclusion

This is all I will say on this subject. Back to teaching Kyusho and Kosho Ryu via the internet and the Wolf's Den Dojo.

Some will say I am "throwing the baby out with the bathwater." No the baby is was aborted, the organs harvested, and the remains put into the food chain. Enjoy that Big Mac!

This causes intense local pain and knee injury will also result! And this will be immediately followed by severe kidney chi drainage and damage causing immediate loss of power and tiredness.

In someone with kidney issues serious problems, like kidney failure, can and will result over time. This can also be a knockout pressure point because of the trauma and reaction of the brain.

Kyusho Jitsu Grand Cross: Attack the knees they say! OK that sounds like a good idea! But exactly how do you do this? What is the best way? Today I will spend a few minutes discussing 4 pressure points located at the knees and the meridians involved. A place I refer to as the Kyusho Jitsu Grand Cross.

Kyusho Jitsu Grand Cross - Pressure Points 

There are 2 meridians running down the legs and 4 pressure points located at the knee joint that makeup the Kyusho Jitsu Grand Cross. When attacked correctly these cause the knee to collapse and the attacker to go down.

Let's take a look at these pressure points now.

Kyusho Jitsu Grand Cross - SP-9 & Sp-10

At the superior margin of the medial condyle of the femur, in the medial margin of the Vastus Medialis muscle. Another way of locating this point is to cup your right palm to the patient's left knee, with the thumb on the medial side and the other four fingers directed proximal to the pressure point is located where the tip of your thumb rests.

I will cover the attack of these points later in the article.

Kyusho Jitsu Grand Cross - ST-34 & ST-36

Attacking the Kyusho Jitsu Grand Cross

Very simply really! Use cautious when training as the results are profound.

Today I a going to look at the most Deadly Back Pressure Points! This is going to be a list that includes the back and the back of the head and neck. Please note all pressure points on the back have the potential to be very dangerous! Therefore extreme care needs to be used when training to assure Uki safety!

Deadly Back Pressure Points - BL-10

And BL-10 is found just below the Medulla Oblongata, which is the lowest part of the brain stem. It is about two centimetres long.

The nerve fibers cross here, causing one side of the brain to receive information from the opposite side of the body. This is the control centre of the brain for many vital bodily functions. Therefore making the area very dangerous.

Hence one of the very dangerous effects of a strike here is damage to the brain stem which is right there! Unconsciousness will result and potential death and delayed death (Dim Mak) if a Chi strike is used and the electrical system is disrupted. 

Therefore please read the article linked above for greater details!

Deadly Back Pressure Points - GB-20

Not quite as dangerous, however very effective is Pressure Point GB-20.  

A low to medium strike will cause a knockout and a hard strike can result in brain damage. Great local pain is also present with any strike. Concussions are always a risk with head pressure points. 

While Pressure Point GB-20 is commonly used for demonstrations of Neurological Knockouts there are dangers associated with it that do need to be addressed. While no where near as dangerous as BL-10 caution still needs to be used on this pressure point. 

GB-20 lies on the Greater Occipital Nerve as you can see in the diagram above. This is obviously tied into the functions of the Trapezius Muscle [Left] as well as other functions. 

Deadly Back Pressure Points - Bladder Meridian

In other words a correct strike with 2 Way Action, plus correct direction will stop the heart immediately! 

This applies to all Associated Alarm Points and the organ they represent! Please read that article on Associated Alarm Points.

What I wish to refer to in this article is the method in which we add Kyusho to a joint lock. First the movements are not based on large movement, but small circles. This is something I teach in depth in my Advanced Hapkido Home Study Course, but the original knowledge comes from Professor Wally Jay's Small Circle JuJitsu. 

The use of small circles over the tradition large movements cause much more pain! Plus the addition of understand fulcrum/lever activation is a must! I also suggest an understanding of the 3 different joint types in the body. Also I do explain more about fulcrum / lever activation in my article on 2 Way Action.

Here is a short video about Kyusho Joint Locks Octagon on Fulcrum / Lever activation.

In a nutshell this means understanding that the fulcrum is closest point on the lock to the body after the lock has been applied. 

So what about pressure points? First you will often in pressure points located around and very close to the joints themselves. The knees are a great example! However applying a lock on a smaller joint will cause the meridians affected to distort, causing a Kyusho effect due to stretching of the meridian. The more energy in a meridian the greater the affect! Elongating a meridian cause more energy to flow.

Kyusho Joint Locks Octagon - Octagon

This is useless in a self defense situation! Self Defense is NOT fighting. this is where movement in the Octagon comes into play! Octagon movement is about moving on angles to obtain a better mechanical position and therefore power. Proper Body Mechanics is critical! Body mechanics is a cornerstone of Kyusho Jitsu and Hapkido.

Also standing directly in front of someone is a game of dominance! When you move on an angle you take that power away from the attacker! But I do go into great details about this in my Beginners Octagon Video Course, and my Advanced Octagon Certification Video Course I do have an Octagon eBook also!

Kyusho Joint Locks Octagon in Conclusion

Kyusho Alarm Point CV-14: I am a martial arts teacher who specializes in Pressure Points. My area of expertise is very specific. They are Kyusho Jitsu as well as my eclectic root art of Hon Sang Mu Sa Hapkido. I do not follow the martial arts industry, other instructors or styles. I am going to give you a video below to explain a little more. But today we are going to discuss a very important pressure point that is Alarm Point CV-14. 

You can learn more about Alarm Points from the link provided. 

Alarm Point CV-14 - Location & Dangers

A person receiving a strike here, damaging the Xiphoid process can die from a coughing and/ or vomiting attack! Not to mention the physical damage that can be done to the heart muscle itself from the breaking of the xiphoid and sternum. 

Alarm Point for the Heart - Kyusho Alarm Point CV-14

As I also mentioned Alarm Point CV-14 is the Alarm Point for the heart itself (the organ.) Any strike to this pressure point has a direct effect on the health of the heart itself. If the person suffers from underlying heart issues death can result down the road.

However in this article I can only touch on the subject. Also read the article here called Pressure Point CV-17 which is the Alarm Point for the pericardium, AKA Heart 2. 

Kyusho Alarm Point CV-14 in Conclusion

I will also include several links to related Alarm Point articles below to further your understanding about these critical pressure points.  Thank you for reading about Kyusho Alarm Point CV-14.

Kyusho Hapkido Octagon - Hapkido

We must first begin with my root art of Hapkido, or the more accurate name of Kuk Sul Hapkido. Unfortunately there is little information available online, or at least that I can find. The system I come directly out of is the late Chung W Oh from Kitchener Ontario.

Mr Oh came to Canada from Korea as part of the big Tae Kwon Do wave of General Choi Hong Hi. Mr Oh and the General were very close and GM Oh is even found in the Generals Encyclopedia of Tae Kwon Do,  My direct instructor was Master Philip Hollohan, who was one of Mr Oh's first students when he came to Canada. (Philip Hollohan is center picture above)

This is the Hapkido part of the Kyusho Hapkido Octagon connection.

Kyusho Hapkido Octagon - Octagon

The organization Kosho Ryu International does still have its website online. However it has not been updated in years!

Kyusho Hapkido Octagon - Kyusho

The final leg, or major leg of the journey began in late 2001 when I attended a George Dillman seminar at Steve Stewart's Modern Martial Arts in London Ontario.  After this seminar I was hooked on the pressure point science of Kyusho Jitsu and began a 10 year plus journey as a direct student of GM Stewart. 

All of which was incorporated in the root art I founded in 2006 called Hon Sang Mu Sa Hapkido. 

Kyusho Hapkido Octagon in Conclusion

Here is a History of Hapkido from the World Budo Alliance. You can read my full biography here. I will also provide links to all related courses below! Thank you for reading Kyusho Hapkido Octagon.
