Pressure Point Spleen 11. How to Knockout someone with a leg kick

Pressure Point Spleen 11

Today as part of the series on different pressure points and how they work I am going to talk about one of my very favorites! This is a leg point, and one of the most sensitive and therefore important pressure points on the body. This is Pressure Point Spleen 11. And SP-11 is a CRITICAL self defense pressure point!

Pressure Point Spleen 11 lies on the inside portion of the leg, located halfway between the inguinal crease (groin) and the knee. Slightly to the front. The above picture will give you a good idea of its location. 

Pressure Point Spleen 11 - Location and Purpose

Now that you can see the location of Pressure Point Spleen 11 it is important to understand how this pressure points works and why it works. First it is located on the Femoral Nerve, which runs down along side of the bone in the leg.

Pressure Point Spleen 11

When you attack this pressure point [SP-11] or the nerve with a kick as an example you compress the nerve against the bone. Not only does this cause great pain in the leg but also reports to the brain the possibility of a break or damage to the Femur. The femur is the bone in the upper leg as you can see in the picture to the left.

So what makes this such a big deal? Bones break in many different places on the body. Why does this pressure point cause such a reaction?

Pressure Point Spleen 11 and the Femoral Artery

The reason for the massive dysfunction of the brain, including causing a knockout is the location of the Femoral Artery which is the main heart artery in the leg. 

So what are the reasons for the reaction? Simple: a break in the femur can result in a tear, puncture of severing of the femoral artery which can in many instances depending on severity result in DEATH

This is why as an example people who break their legs in skiing accidents will pass-out,  as the nerve has been stimulated. 

And this is a defense mechanism for protecting the body and one all Kyusho Jitsu students need to understand how to take advantage of! This is in my view one of the 10 most important pressure points for self defense!

Femoral Artery

Pressure Point Spleen 11 - Knockout

Below is actual and real video footage of me from about 7 years ago doing a Knockout in SP-11. When you understand how things actually work, you then begin to see the real benefits of the science of pressure point self defense.

If you have questions as to the accuracy of this information feel free to ask any medical practitioner.

Kyusho Article CONCLUSION

In Conclusion

I hope you can see from the above information why this pressure point, SP-11 is such a critically important pressure point for self defense? The results can be devastating for the attack.

Pressure Point Spleen 6 AKA Triple Yin Ultimate Setup Point

* Pressure Point Spleen 6

Today I am going to start a new series of posts on different, and extremely important pressure points. And I will begin today with everyone's favorite, Pressure Point Spleen 6 - Triple Yin as it is often called. And SP-06 is one of the most commonly used pressure points in Kyusho study. 

SP-6 is located about 2 finger widths above the ankle on the inside of the leg. You can see approximately the correct area from the chart above. Now let us take a deeper look at this pressure point.

Pressure Point Spleen 6 - As a Setup Pressure Point

One of the most common uses for Pressure Point Spleen 6 - Triple Yin is that of a setup pressure point for a knockout. Since the majority of neurological knockouts are done on the head this point works well for basic setup. Why is that?

Because it follows a few principles which I will explain later. But it is also very far from the head and so causes the brain to become disoriented.

When you hit SP-06 the brain under most circumstances will not understand what happened. On a conscious level perhaps, but it is the unconscious we are concerned about.

While the brain is trying to understand this the head is left in a weakened state. This allows for easier disruption of functions. 

Pressure Point Spleen 6 - What is Triple Yin?

The term triple yin refers to the fact that 3 different Yin Meridians are running through this very tight area of the body. Therefore when you strike SP-06 you will also have an effect on Kidney and Liver. So theoretically speaking you have "water, earth and wood" from this single strike. Earth being the predominant element, the other being much weaker. 

However the best effect comes from the reason above, which is the distance from the brain, and that the strike will always be unseen. 

Pressure Point Spleen 6 - Triple Yin - The Physical Effect

What is the effect of striking Pressure Point Spleen 6 - Triple Yin? How does it work? First the correct angle and direction for the strike is straight through like an arrow, using 2 Way Action of course! This will cause a primary release of the ankle causing it to give way and roll in the direction of the strike [From inside to outside].

The secondary affect is the release of the knee in the same direction. On a heavier person, who has his or her weight on the leg struck this will cause great damage to the ankle [break, shatter, etc] and a possible dislocation of the knee. 

This is an excellent option in self defense if the opportunity is present! 

Pressure Point Spleen 6 in Conclusion

Kyusho Article CONCLUSION

Pressure Point Spleen 6: This is one of the favorite pressure point especially for the novice student!

It is not as dangerous as some other pressure points when attacked and is therefore awesome for demonstration purposes. 

Have you had an experience using "Triple Yin? I would love to hear about it! Comment here. Sp-06 is also a very commonly used acupuncture point in Chinese Medicine. Thank you for reading about Pressure Point Spleen 6.

Exact Kyusho Pressure Point Locations. How to find a Pressure Point

LI-20 Painful Face Pressure Points

Exact Kyusho Pressure Point Locations: One of the main reasons for failure when it comes to the science of pressure point self defense is NOT knowing the Exact Kyusho Pressure Point Locations. And the fact is that often times the charts you are using are wrong. You can and will find variance in charts from different countries. So how are you supposed to know? 

Therefore today I will talk about how to find Exact Kyusho Pressure Point Locations!


Exact Kyusho Pressure Point Locations - Pressure Point GB-20

Pressure Point Knockouts

In this diagram, one I use often because I have modified it to show the pressure point, we have GB-20. The exact location of the pressure point is in the grove at the base of the skull. Good luck hitting that point well!

 You will most like hurt your hand doing so! The correct angle and direction is in and up to the other side of the skull. 

And YES it does work! But if you come a little downward, and strike just below this pressure point you get a better result. You are hitting the "lesser occipital nerve" very solidly. 

Kyusho Pressure Point Locations - The Charts are Wrong?

Are the acupuncture charts wrong? No they are not wrong. However you do need to understand that acupuncture is an exact healing science / art. Kyusho Jitsu and Dim Mak are NOT exact sciences. These sciences of self defense are ones of exploration, not exact road maps. Exact Kyusho Pressure Point Locations are not as critical as in healing arts. 

Back many years ago I was doing a demonstration of a knockout back in my home town of Windsor Ontario. I was using a teenager for a Stomach 5 knockout. But, this young man had a very unusual jaw line. He was a very heavy Fire Element person! ST-05 was not where I expected to find it! After I located the point,  before the show I discovered it hurt my hand because of the location to strike there. This was in fact the ideal place to use an "iron bone hand" but I did not want to do that! So I cheated the knockout!

The knockout went fine. But this is an important note to make when studying Kyusho Jitsu. No humane body is exactly alike. You need to study anatomy also to be able to find not just pressure points, but also how the nerves run! 

An example the nerve at ST-05 in my experience is available in at least 2 different ways. And the one I teach, for me has been the most effective place to strike. But if I send you to just a "chart" it will not be obvious to you! Your do need the charts! But you also need more study as well! Personally I also have a copy of Grey's Anatomy, and I am not talking about the TV Show! If you decide to get a copy, please do not use Amazon. Support a local book store. 

Kyusho Pressure Point Locations - The Nerves

Angle and direction, you hit in and down stretching the nerve and getting a very dramatic effect on the body. Striking this way is easier, and more effective. I would still call this a GB-20 strike, but the point I strike is NOT the exact pressure point!

And we also tend to be that "area of activation" I speak of often in novice or beginner Kyusho Jitsu Courses. All part of knowing the Exact Kyusho Pressure Point Locations.

Kyusho Pressure Point Locations - How to Find Them!

What are the 3 Commonly Asked Kyusho Questions NOW?

3 Commonly Asked Kyusho Questions #

I get questions about the science of pressure point self defense on a daily basis. So today I want to address the 3 Commonly Asked Kyusho Questions. So let's get started shall we?

3 Commonly Asked Kyusho Questions #1

Are Death Pressure Points Real?

Are there pressure points that can kill? I wrote an entire article on this question back a while ago. Here is a link to an article called 5 Deadly Pressure Points. 

This answer is not a simple one. Is there a specific pressure point that if attacked will cause death. The answer is generally NO there is NOT. However it is very possible under the right conditions and with the correct training to cause death by using pressure points. And certain pressure points are far more dangerous than other. However the odds of causing death by accident are very remote.

You must also take into account the health, and potential health issues of the attacker. Death is very possible, but not unless you really know what you are doing death is not probable. The fortunate / unfortunate thing is very few people are willing to put the study in to become this good! And there also needs to be the understanding that if a pressure point has the potential to cause death, and you strike this pressure point in demonstration and not self defense you are negligent. The first of the Commonly Asked Kyusho Questions.

3 Commonly Asked Kyusho Questions #2

The Dim Mak Project

Is Dim Mak real? This is an easy answer! YES Dim Mak is very real! But this does not mean that if you learn it you will be able to do a "delayed death touch." Once again there is a lifetime of study needed to understand and use this art in real life.

Many of the teachers of Dim Mak are not able to perform these feats. And for good reason also!

But theoretically it is all very possible. Back last year I released some works on Dim Mak. These are a western few of how all this works and is possible. It is called the Dim Mak Project. You can read more about Dim Mak from this LINK.  Commonly Asked Kyusho Questions number #

3 Commonly Asked Kyusho Questions

Can a Pressure Point Strike Blind someone?

Is there a way to make the attacker blind? Once again this is a yes answer. But it need some clarification also. The pressure points attacked that can cause this and provides a temporary state of blindness. But once again you must know what you are doing! And most people are simply not will to put in the work to be this good! Today society wants instant everything.

But there is no such thing as equality of outcome, no matter what politician tells you it is possible. Just because you study something does not guarantee excellence! Only dedication can do this!

And this question should not be confused with attacking TW-23 and damaging the eye to cause blindness. That is NOT the same thing! TW-23 has no neurological connection to the eye. Only the bone above the eye. And anyone can damage that!

Commonly Asked Kyusho Questions in Conclusion 

Kyusho Article CONCLUSION

Am I going to tell you how? No I am not going to tell you in this article how to accomplish these Kyusho Jitsu / Pressure Point feats.

You have to do the work! But in all honesty the work is well worth it!

24 Hour Diurnal Cycle of Kyusho Jitsu. What are body energy cycles?

The Kyusho Jitsu 24 Hour Diurnal Cycle

Beginning in Novice Kyusho Jitsu study and carrying on far into the master levels including Dim Mak is the Kyusho Jitsu 24 Hour Diurnal Cycle. Many student believe this cycle to be of little use. However this could not be further from the truth. The fact is that the Kyusho Jitsu 24 Hour Diurnal Cycle is a cornerstone principle of pressure point study as well as Dim Mak. It is also essential for success. So today lets dive deep into this advanced principle. 

Kyusho Jitsu 24 Hour Diurnal Cycle - Breakdown

First let us take a few moments and do a breakdown of the cycle. It is critical for any Kyusho Jitsu student to memorize this cycle and be able to recite it from any part forward and backwards! 

24 Hour Cycle - 1st 12 Hours

  • 3:00 am - 5:00 am - Lung
  • 5:00 am - 7:00 am - Large Intestine
  • 7:00 am - 9:00 am - Stomach
  • 9:00 am to 11:00 am - Spleen
  • 11:00 am - 1:00 pm - Heart
  • 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm - Small Intestine

24 Hour Cycle - 2nd 12 Hours

  • 3:00 pm -5:00 pm - Bladder
  • 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm - Kidney
  • 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm - Pericardium
  • 9:00 pm - 11:00 pm Triple Warmer
  • 11:00 pm - 1:00 am - Gall Bladder
  • 1:00 am - 3:00 am - Liver

So what exactly is this? In the healing arts this is the energy flow cycle of the 12 meridians of the body. Note the Yin/Yang parts? This is extremely important as the study progresses! The time itself denotes the "reboot" period for the organ and therefore it become most vulnerable at this time. 

Kyusho Jitsu 24 Hour Diurnal Cycle

So as an example the Gall Bladder meridian is at its most vulnerable from 11:00 pm to 1:00 am. Therefore attacking GB-20 will have a more devastating effect.

Since this is also the height of drinking time in the bars, and alcohol weakens the Gall Bladder this adds to the effect. 

But this information applies more to Dim Mak than anything else. The reason being is most people are not that time conscious. However with training you could be!

In Conclusion

Kyusho Article CONCLUSION

When it comes to the Kyusho Jitsu 24 Hour Diurnal Cycle there is much to learn! For the student of the science of pressure point self defense the direction of energy flow is the most important.

If you have any questions on this principle please leave a comment!

Update September 2nd 2021: I am constantly learning more and more about just how important this 24 Hour Cycle is. Not just for Kyusho and Dim Mak, but also when it comes to health. 

Do you understand how the Chinese Zodiac works within the 24 Hour Diurnal Cycle? Get a master level understanding. Have a look at Part Four of the Secrets of Kyusho Jitsu eBook series called the Kyusho Book of Changes. This information will blow your mind!

3 Pressure Point Knockout Combinations. What is the Secret?

Learn 3 Pressure Point Knockout Combinations

Are Pressure Point Knockouts real? If they are then how do Pressure Point Knockouts work?  I am asked this question often. Therefore today I am going to give you  3 Pressure Point Knockout Combinations that you can begin to use right away!

*Warning - please always train doing pressure point knockouts with proper instruction*

The first thing I want to clarify with this post is that these knockouts will work. However depending on your root art and style of movement you may or may not be able to incorporate these.

They also tend to be "static" which is part of the learning experience. How you get to these 3 Pressure Point Knockout Combinations will be up to you. But I will give you the basics.

First I need to note that all attacks are based on ONLY 3 possibilities. 3 different ways someone can attack you. Today I will give an example from one of each. 

The 3 methods of attack are:

  1. Push
  2. Grab 
  3. Punch

Pressure Point Knockout Combinations - A push

Pressure Point Knockout Combinations

The first and most basic of attacks is from a push. In my Humane Pressure Point Tactics Courses I teach how you can absorb these pushes and trap the hand coming forward. This allows for a fast and easy setup by trapping the hand to part of your body, lets say KD-27 for the purpose of this article. 

With some training you can then trap using your HT-8 point in alignment with their TW-3. If they are touching Kidney in this case noted you have Water and Fire together in the cycle of destruction. Thus beginning your setup.

If the push is against your left shoulder you would absorb and then return to position turning them away from you. This would expose GB-31 for a knee tap. Also exposing ST-5 for your right hand and a strike from back to front. Plus this gives you all 5 elements in the cycle of destruction and if ST-5 is hit well and deep knockout.

Pressure Points Used on Attacker

Pressure Points Used on Self

  • KD-27 Water
  • HT-08 Fire
  • Hand strike gives fire and metal. It is low metal, but that is not an issue. Sound could be added to enhance the attack.

Unfortunately a video demonstrating this has been deleted by YouTube. Anytime I speak of "self defense" on YouTube and demonstrate a knockout they consider this offensive and a violation of policy. I wish I was kidding. But your RIGHT to Self Defense in the 21st Century is under attack by these politically correct clowns.

Pressure Point Knockout Combinations - A Grab

Video removed due to issue, however TW-23 can be a dangerous pressure point as it protects the ocular bone and a hard strike therefore can damage the bone and the eye. However a light tap is OK. This knockout comes from a combination of below.

Pressure Points on the Attacker

Pressure Points on Self

  • HT-08 on the strike
  • Water from the movement

Pressure Point Knockout Combinations - A Punch

Next we look at the punch. Below is another video for you to enjoy. I will break it down afterwards.

In this knockout I am using a fire stance, and attacking all the Yin meridians on the arm. And this gives me a lot of fire and metal. Here is a breakdown of points and other elements.

Pressure Points on the Attacker
Pressure Points Used on Self
  • HT-8 (Hand)
  • Fire Stance

Here we are using a short cycle of destruction which are water, fire and metal. The water element comes when I step into the fire stance. Any time you break ground with Kidney 1 you create water.

3 Pressure Point Knockout Combinations in Conclusion

Pressure Point Knockout Combinations

One of the things you need to understand about Pressure Point Knockout Combinations and being success is how the different pressure points work!

Without this understanding it is very difficult to get good at this part of the art. And especially to apply it on the streets!

Kyusho Jitsu Debunked! What make Kyusho so controversial?

Kyusho Jitsu Debunked!

I spend every morning on a mission.The first thing I do is check the stats for all of my website. And this includes seeing what people are searching for when it comes to the science of pressure point self defense.

Today someone search "Kyusho Jitsu Debunked."  But they did spell debunked wrong. Which is actually one reason for the article,

Kyusho Jitsu Debunked

Today there is a trend in entertainment and society to want to "debunk" things. Personally I think it is pathetic. There is even a TV show dedicated to this! And they have been caught falsifying their results!  

So am I against this idea of debunking? No, I am not, but do the damn work yourself! Stop being influenced by people with agendas.

Large Intestine 18

Over the years I have watched many political attempts by martial artists, news media and supposed "watchdog" sites like Bullshido try to debunk Kyusho Jitsu. Sorry guys but any claim of Kyusho Jitsu Debunked is a false one! They setup circumstances under their full control to try to prove a point. Debunking MUST be done with a neutral mind, one without an opinion as to the outcome. People are also great for their misinterpretation of results in order to further their opinions and sooth their ego. 

I recall one such interview years ago with a Kyusho Master and the local news media. As he was demonstrating how a knockout worked and "tapped" the woman reporter at ST-05 her response was "of course I am dizzy you hit me in the head." And the stupid public bought this as Kyusho Jitsu Debunked! 

Brilliant of the news to send a woman, and a great misinterpretation of what Kyusho Jitsu is all about! Same with the FARCE from the once great magazine turned political tablet National Geographic. The same magazine that stated "vampires are possibly real" enabling a group of people with a mental disorder. 

Kyusho Jitsu Debunked - Do the Work

Referencing Kyusho Jitsu

Are you wondering just how real the science of pressure point self defense is? Then OPEN your mind and do the work! I know doing the world is against the current way of thinking in the 21st century, but that is just how life really is! Decide things for yourself after looking at all the different possibilities. 

Approach people and learning as if the person you are speaking with might just know something that you do not know and therefore there is a great opportunity to learn! Most people are not listening just waiting for their turn to talk.

Facebook is proof of how much people want to force opinions on others. 

In Conclusion

Kyusho Article CONCLUSION

Today people love to have an express opinions on things they know ZERO about! It has become like a illness.

Always go to the people who know for information you need, not the wannabees! 

I know I never learned anything while I was talking. If you have any questions about this article of on Kyusho Jitsu in general please feel free to leave a comment.

3 Most Dangerous Pressure Points for Devastating Results Fighting

* 3 Most Dangerous Pressure Points

What are the 3 Most Dangerous Pressure Points on the human body? I get asked this all the time, so lets discuss this today.  Please note I DO NOT recommend striking these points ever unless your life is in danger.

I certainly do not recommend them for demonstrations either.  With martial arts training comes responsibility.

And with the current climate in the world today it is essential that we should show responsibility when others will not. Read this article on the Kyusho Jitsu Uke to understand the importance of this. 

And this list of 3 only scratches the surface of 3 Most Dangerous Pressure Points on the human body.

3 Most Dangerous Pressure Points - TW-17

Triple Warmer Meridian

One the the first of the 3 Most Dangerous Pressure Points. I am not listing these in any particular order. This is not the least nor the most dangerous of points. Opinions will vary on this but that is normal. So what makes Pressure Point TW-17 so dangerous?

It can be used in safety under certain circumstances. it is a GREAT head point for pain and control. However striking it can result is serious injury and even death. ANd this is why is is listed here under the 3 Most Dangerous Pressure Points.

3 Most Dangerous Pressure Points

Striking this point can cause a few things to happen. The vagus nerve is in this vicinity which is tied to the heart. Striking can cause a dislocation of the jaw very easily, which can in turn damage the jugular vein. It is also possible to cause a dislocation of the skull to the spinal column if the strike is hard enough and at the correct angle and direction

This pressure point also causes brain shock, which is a dangerous condition. Therefore this makes TW-17 one of the 3 Most Dangerous Pressure Points on the body. Read more about Pressure Point TW-17.

3 Most Dangerous Pressure Points - ST-09, ST-10

Kyusho Jitsu World

In considering the 3 Most Dangerous Pressure Points I count ST-09 and 10 as one pressure points because you will not strike one without striking the other. These lie in the neck along the carotid artery. A strike to these points cause an instant drop in blood pressure and a resulting vassal faint. What makes this so dangerous?

Because today heart disease is the number one killer the odds are pretty good that the person you strike may have some kind of heart issue.

This strike can cause plaque in the arteries to be released causing a stroke. Or in some occasions the blood pressure does not come back up and death can result. Now this is not probable, but POSSIBLE.

Therefore these points should be avoided in training. Extreme cautious needs to be used in reference to these 2 pressure points. Large Intestine 18 and Small Intestine 16 fall into this category too of the 3 Most Dangerous Pressure Points.

If you click the button below you can read what my new book Kyusho Pressure Point Anatomy has to say about ST-09. And here is an article on Pressure Point Stomach 9-10. I include ST-10 because it is almost impossible to ST-09 without hitting ST-10.

3 Most Dangerous Pressure Points - SP-21

Kyusho Jitsu Nerve Strikes -Spleen Meridian

Continuing with the 3 Most Dangerous Pressure Points we have Spleen 21 is in my view the most dangerous pressure point on the body. This is especially true for the left side.

Those who are advanced in kyusho Jitsu study know the many special functions of this pressure point. It is also one of the "death touch" points in Dim Mak

Aside from the energetic reason we deal with in advanced Kyusho Jitsu this pressure point lies in a very weak area of the ribs. a resulting break can cause a lung puncture and possible damage to the heart if on the left side.  

A light strike will cause incredible pain. The energetic reason this point is so dangerous is beyond the scope of this article, however I will provide some links for learning more.

I have a separate article on Pressure Point Spleen 21.  This is truly one of the most vital spots on the human body when it comes to pressure point fighting. 

Kyusho Article CONCLUSION

In Conclusion

There are many, many very dangerous pressure points on the body. What are some of your favorites? 

Are there some you are wondering about?

Leave a comment here and I will answer!

Here is a 4th example of the Dangerous Pressure Points. This is Dim Mak Pressure Point BL-10. Any strike to this pressure point is highly dangerous. Use the link above to read more. I hope you enjoyed this article 3 Most Dangerous Pressure Points.

Advanced Kyusho Jitsu Striking Actions. What students do not know

Advanced Kyusho Jitsu Striking Actions

An auto mechanic knows that for every job there is a tool. Sometimes these are very specialized tools, but they do exist. Just like for every pressure point there is a "way" to strike them. But sometimes it requires Advanced Kyusho Jitsu Striking Actions to get the job done properly and with the greatest affect.

Advanced Kyusho Jitsu Striking Actions - Heart 8

You may already be familiar with the power of the pressure point HT-08. 

This spot on the body releases more energy than any other. Is there a way to take advantage of this? To be able to use this in a self defense situation to get a more predictable, more devastating result?

Yes there most certainly is! 

In every martial art system there are the convention methods of attack. There is the punch, which is the most common and the least effective. Then there is the knife hand, and ridge hand which are much better than the punch. Finally there is the palm, which of the 3 is the most devastating. But it is the most challenging to use as it does not fit every situation. So everyone goes back to the punch. 

Advanced Kyusho Jitsu Striking Actions

The funny thing about the punch is that most martial artist i have seen do not understand the mechanics of a punch, and use a sport version. This is designed to be safer. Some will condition their hands to make the weapon more powerful This is fine if done properly. But most people are not familiar with the proper way. This causes damage and pain later in life.

There are reason for each different "tool" being either more or less effective. A fist, especially if it is held tightly, with the thumb too far inward conceals energy.

A knife hand has a better angular effect, and the edge focuses the power better. 

The palm is best because it can use the energy at HT-08 to enhance the effect. 

So most people will then turn to elbows, knees and feet as additional weapons. The issues is these are higher risk or limited range.

6 Ji Energy Hands of Kyusho Jitsu. What are they?

6 Ji Energy Hands of Kyusho Jitsu

There are many mysteries in the science of pressure point self defense. Some of them are talked about, but often times they are not really taught or explained well. The 6 Ji Energy Hands of Kyusho Jitsu is a great example of this! I have seen many video demonstrations of these 6 hands. And even some live displays. But they really don't teach it!

Until now that is!

6 Ji Energy Hands of Kyusho Jitsu - Striking tools

When it comes to martial art training there are really only 3 basic tools taught. And these are taught today based on developing as much power as is possible. That is why students spend endless hours kicking and punching 100 pound plus heavy bags. 

This is a very common practice for "fighters" and the hard styles of martial art training. And there is nothing wrong with this. However it does not mean that it is the only way.

Are you aware that a fist conceals energy? The more tightly held the more energy that is concealed. Also MOST people do not know how to properly made a FIST! The is a mechanically correct way!

6 Ji Energy Hands of Kyusho Jitsu

And the fist is notably the worst of all striking tools. It conceals energy and if make poorly like the example to the left can cause wrist injury. Not to mention damage to hand itself. 

When you have to "condition" something to use it, you also need to ask questions as to why? Perhaps it is not the best weapon?

This why the palm strike and/or knife hand is a superior weapon. Open hand release energy!

6 Ji Energy Hands of Kyusho Jitsu - Striking Actions

The science of pressure point self defense also employees "striking actions" which dramatically increase the effectiveness of your strike. These are element based actions, which means the strike is actually against the element of the meridian. Therefore getting the best affect or result. If you are not familiar with these below is the breakdown.

  • Slapping - Fire
  • Vibrating - Metal
  • Chopping - Wood
  • Penetrating - Earth
  • Grasping - Water

All of the above actions also get their best result with an "open hand" as a weapon. The exception can be water, however the fist is very loose upon impact! It goes from fully open to closed on impact.

Understand the 6 Ji Energy Hands of Kyusho Jitsu

Now there is much more to learn! You will often see in the ancient Chinese arts, and let's face it the root of all martial arts is China, different open handed techniques. Often times these are based on the animal styles. And that is great! But there are 6 that stand out, and these are the 6 Ji Energy Hands of Bubishi.  Now here I am using the term the 6 Ji Energy Hands of Kyusho Jitsu because we are going to be using Kyusho Jitsu applications with it!

In Conclusion

Kyusho Article CONCLUSION

You will find a lot of different demonstrations and information about the 6 Ji Energy Hands of Kyusho Jitsu online.

So what makes what I am referring to different? I am not just going to show it and talk about it. I am going to TEACH IT!
