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

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.

Advanced Kyusho Jitsu Striking Actions - Solutions

Advanced Kyusho Jitsu Striking Actions

There are solutions to this issue. However they do require more study and more training! These are the Advanced Kyusho Jitsu Striking Actions that I call the 6 Energy Hands.

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!

Attacked Tonight on the Way Home. Are you prepared?

Attacked Tonight on the Way Home

UPDATED August 25th 2020. What would you do if you were attacked tonight on the way home? What if your wife and kids were with you? Have you considered this?

When you’re walking to your car after a night out, after a movie or dinner, do you feel safe and confident? Or do you worry about the shadows in the corner?

Attacked Tonight on the Way Home 

Maybe someone lurking behind the next car or the trash bin? If you do, you’re not alone! Thousands of people every DAY are attacked on their way to their car in a parking lot or garage.

How about at work? Are there other employees that hassle you daily, sometimes threatening violence? Or maybe you work with customers all day, what happens when they get angry because things are not going their way, or perhaps they’ve had too much to drink and are just looking to take their bad day out on someone… again this sort of thing happens every day!

When an attack happens, there is a trigger that goes off in our bodies, called the “Fight or Flight” reflex. You either freeze on the spot, becoming completely helpless, or you act upon the situation. The majority of people freeze, it’s a natural response, especially when most people have never had to confront an attacker or a dangerous situation. Did you know, attackers constantly look for someone who isn’t going to give them a hard time?

Pressure Point Self Defense - Attacked Tonight on the Way Home - Are you a victim?

Attacked Tonight on the Way Home

This is a very dangerous situation! Do you have the REAL knowledge to handle multiple attackers? Odds are that you do not!

An attacker will look for someone who looks like an easy target and won’t give them a hard time. In fact, there are some very specific things you probably do that give you away as one, such as…

  •  Someone walking with their head down
  •  A person distracted by rummaging through their coat or purse
  • Someone on their cell phone engaged in a conversation
  • A victim that will be easily pressured into doing what they want
  • Most importantly, someone who will NOT put up a fight!

Attacked Tonight on the Way Home - Martial Arts Training

If you were attacked tonight on the way home, this is where we hope our martial arts training kicks in. And there is an excellent chance if we have trained vigilantly it will! However, the reality of the streets today is far different from 20, even 10 years ago. The threat must end FAST.

Recently, I quietly attended a seminar by a very well respected but out of touch martial arts master. There was no discussion of threat level, or anything realistic when it came to weapons. The techniques taught were OK as far as techniques go, however they provided a defense that simply did not address the BIG PICTURE. Ending the conflict with reasonable force in the fastest amount of time.  Plus, on the street, these types of techniques rely too much on timing. And if your timing failed would get you hurt.  Hence, they are impractical.

Attacked Tonight on the Way Home - Real Pressure Point Self Defense

The problem today is the most martial art training is very heavily focused on sport. And there is no similarity between this and self-defense. I have personally known many good fighters who got smoked on the street because being attacked is in no way a sport. Therefore, this is training everyone needs.


Right to Self Defense - Know the Law!

First thing first, which is the need to understand what I mean by self-defense. Self Defense is not a “fight.” It is a situation when you have been targeted because the attacker wants something from you. It is not an argument in a bar that leads to fighting. That is a choice based on peoples egos. 

Attacked Tonight on the Way Home in Conclusion

Kyusho Article CONCLUSION

You also need to know and understand the laws of where you live and your RIGHT to Self Defense!

Other things that you need to understand are linked below at the end of the article. Most of all, I have something that can help you in every area needed for successful real street self-defense. Keep reading and learn more!

Thank you for reading Attacked Tonight on the Way Home. Since I first wrote this article, and subsequently updated it in 2020, things have gotten much worse on the streets. I strongly suggest checking out my course called Kosho Street Strategies

Kyusho Jitsu Chi Development. How to build life force.

Kyusho Jitsu Chi Development

Before I go into the details as to why Kyusho Jitsu Chi Development is very important I must first make clear exactly what Chi is and why it is important to every aspect of life. 

Kyusho Jitsu Chi Development - What is Chi?

What is Chi really? Does Chi exist? How important is Kyusho Jitsu Chi Development?Lets take a deeper look. 

Science will be happy to tell you there is no such thing as Chi. What is Chi really? Why does main stream science say it does not exist?  The answer is easy, there is no funding in it.  Today, very sadly science has become a business, creating results based on FUNDING, and not FACT.  

To see this all you need to do is look at the bombardment of drugs ads on TV for conditions that the drug itself gives as a side effect. (Like anti depressants causing suicidal thoughts).

3 Circulation Systems

The human body, all mammals actually have 3 different circulatory systems. They are as follows:

  • Cardiovascular (Gets the most attention)
  • Water balance ( which cleans the cells via the Lymph system, gets ignored)
  • Chi or Ki (Is denied by main stream science)
  • Kyusho Jitsu Chi Development

    Therefore the first thing to think of to understand Chi is that the body is basically a bio-mechanical suit. It runs on electricity.  All movement, bodily functions and thought run via electrical impulses in the brain and the nervous system.  Chi is an electrical current that runs on the outside of the nerves because of an electric principle called induction. Very similar to a transformer.

    Proper Chi flow in the body is a result of good health and proper functioning of the body systems.  And Vice-Versa. This is the basis of Chinese medicine and acupuncture.  Acupuncture corrects body health by reestablishing proper chi flow.  Each systems affects the other systems. The explanation is over simplified, but I know you get the idea!

    Kyusho Jitsu Chi Development

    Developing strong body Chi will lead to many things! However the most important is HEALTH! Therefore you need to be doing this! Next is the ability to help others heal, and finally it can be used in self defense. I know that sounds crazy, but it is true. The art of Dim Mak was based on this very idea!

    Here is a video to teach how to create a Chi Ball.

    Kyusho Jitsu Chi Development in Conclusion

    Kyusho Article CONCLUSION

    There are ways to develop Chi. Mediation was once believed to be the only way to get a result.  

    While meditation is certainly important, there are ways to jump start the process. Below are the links you need to start now!

    1. Free Chi Manipulation eBook. This is the best way to get started Follow this LINK to get your copy!

    Kyusho Jitsu Quadrant Theory. How Powerful is this Theory?

    Kyusho Jitsu Quadrant Theory

    The Kyusho Jitsu Quadrant Theory is one of the 15 Principles of Kyusho Jitsu that I get the most questions about. People tend to be very fascinated with it! And for good reason also! The Kyusho Jitsu Quadrant Theory once understood is one of the most effective and powerful of all the principles. So today lets take a look at this one in more details.

    Kyusho Jitsu Quadrant Theory

    The idea behind all this is that one "quadrant" of the body is "allergic" to the other quadrant of the body. Now the word allergic is not a very good one, but for now it will do.

    To deeply understand the Kyusho Jitsu Quadrant Theory you must first realize that the human brain CANNOT multitask

    This has nothing to do with IQ either. The brain much like Windows simply switches from one task to another, and oftentimes does neither task very well. 

    This is just how we are wired! The brain is a very busy place, and not designed for multiple conscious tasks. This is the basis of how the Kyusho Jitsu Quadrant Theory works!

    However you can "program" automated responses to different scenarios, and this is how the Kyusho Jitsu Quadrant Theory would be used in application.

    So the basic idea is, when you attack different "quadrants" of the body the brain cannot understand the input and then reports far more pain than normal. In the case of striking it makes Neurological Pressure Point Knockouts easier!

    Take a watch of this video on "stacking fire."

    So why I am showing you a video on stacking fire when I am talking about the Quadrant Theory? Because my son Master Curt Mason stacked the Kyusho Jitsu Quadrant Theory into this to make it more effective with a VERY strong Uki.

    My question is? Did you hear him admit this during the demonstration? You can answer here to tell me yes or no!

    He said "and going off the quadrant." Now Curt is the consummate teacher and he did it this way to see how many were paying attention. But I am sure you see just how effective this is! 

    In Conclusion:

    Kyusho Article CONCLUSION

    The Quadrant Theory is a very powerful principle in the science of pressure point self defense. And it is not that difficult to learn and apply!

    Have you ever used this one? Comment here and let me know your thoughts!

    Update September 16th 2021. Are you aware the the Quadrant Theory is also part of Octagon teaching? In high level training in Kosho Ryu is extremely important? Read more about Kosho Shorie Ryu here.

    The Quadrant Theory is a fascinating subject. Myself I have trained it as one of my favorite ways to get things to work especially if I encounter a strong Uki. And there are ways to train this. But first you need to develop a strong understanding.of how it works. 

    Back last winter I found some OLD video footage that was hidden on a external drive on my laptop. It included the Quadrant theory and several other principles and misc Kyusho Jitsu things. This is a 5 video set that includes:

    Discover the 3 Types of Pressure Point Knockouts

    3 Types of Kyusho Knockouts

    When people think of the word "knockout" they tend to think only of concussive events. However there are 3 Types of Kyusho Knockouts, and I am saying 3 types because you may be very surprised as to why.

    There is for some reason much controversy when it comes to pressure point, Kyusho Jitsu Neurological Knockouts. However when you take a look at the facts you will see very plainly how they work! 

    Therefore lets take a moment break down the 3 Types of Kyusho Knockouts.

    3 Types of Kyusho Knockouts - Types of Kyusho Knockouts #1

    Pressure Point Knockouts

    The first on the list is the concussion. Concussions are caused by blunt trauma to the head resulting in bruising or damage to one or more areas of the brain.

    This happens as the brain collides with the inside of the skull.  

    A concussion can be caused by heavy impact to the skull such as a martial arts strike, a fall, car accident, etc. However trauma does not always cause unconsciousness, but when it does it is a neurological event. Therefore these are very dangerous and can result in death. 


    3 Types of Kyusho Knockouts - Types of Kyusho Knockouts # 2

    3 Types of Kyusho Knockouts

    Next on the list is the neurological knockout. A neurological knockout is caused by a short circuit, overload, or imbalance in the central nervous system. [involving both the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems.

    Therefore this can be done using Kyusho Jitsu techniques

    And these may also be caused by extreme stress, emotions, shock, or extreme trauma to any area of the body. [A broken bone or crushed limb for example]. 

    Neurological knockouts also occur due to excessive use of drugs or alcohol. What is often called "fainting" is also a purely neurological event. As an example someone may faint at the sight of a needle. Since some do not believe that pressure point knockouts are real does this mean the person fainting is not real also?

    3 Types of Kyusho Knockouts - Types of Kyusho Knockouts  #3

    Then we have cardio/respiratory. This type of knockout is caused by limiting the oxygen supply to the brain. Therefore this can be caused by choking or strangulation involving the air supply, the flow of blood or both. These can also be caused by impact to veins or arteries. Which cause a disruption in the flow of blood,  possibly dislodging plaque from the arterial walls causing clots.  

    This is part of the Dim Mak systems of training. 

    3 Types of Kyusho Knockouts

    This now bring me to the point, since all knockouts, not matter what the cause are neurological then why would you not be training in this science? 

    Why POWER is not the ANSWER

    There are many martial artists out there who believe in the idea of "punch or kick him hard in the head." There are so many issues with this one I cannot list them all! First the kind of power these people are talking about comes from anger

    When you are angry you lose control of your motor skills. In fact anger and fear have the same result on your ability to fight back! 

    You can miss very easy!

    Plus you have no specific target in mind. Going for "impact" or in other words a concussion may not yield the results you are looking for! It takes time for the brain to swell and cause the "neurological" event of unconsciousness or a knockout.  I have had many concussions in my life and ONLY ONE caused me to lose consciousness and that was the first one. 

    So rather than focus on that one time power hit why would you not strike at the "occipital nerve" located at GB-20, or the "vagus nerve" branch at ST-05? These strikes, done correctly WILL cause  Kyusho Jitsu Knockouts. Here is a LINK to understanding how power is created and apply in Kyusho. This is the Kyusho Jitsu Power Principle

    3 Types of Kyusho Knockouts

    Plus you are less likely to have "legal" issues as a result of your "fight" or "self defense" due to excess force or "overkill." 

    Are Kyusho Jitsu Knockouts hard to learn?

    The answer is NO they are not. But you have to do the study! This involves learning how these nerves work, how to properly activate them and then tying this back to your root art or self defense system. 

    This type of knockout is someone anyone can do! But you do need to spend some time developing the skills!

    3 Types of Kyusho Knockouts in Conclusion

    Kyusho Article CONCLUSION

    When it comes to the reasons for how knockouts occur, the fact is they always become a neurological event.

    Therefore with this in mind, why would you not just default to the neurological every time? Have you ever done a neurological knockout on someone? Leave a comment and let me know!

    Kyusho Jitsu Yin-Yang Principle: The Yin-Yang Symbol is one of the most misunderstood symbols we have today. It is very old and is taken only on a very superficial level by most martial arts teachers and even many spiritual masters. For years I thought I understood it!

    But today I am constantly realizing how much there is to it! One of the issues of course with something this old is translations. Translations can be very self serving for the translator. So let's look at the Kyusho Jitsu Yin-Yang Principle and symbol.

    But we see that all the time. So today lets take a deeper look. But this is only going to be the tip of the iceberg!

    Kyusho Jitsu Yin-Yang Principle - Meaning

    If you have ever been in a room with me you will know I have a Kyusho Jitsu Yin-Yang Principle & symbol with some Chinese writing on my arm. I did this many years before I had any clue of what they symbol meant. I also used it as part of my school crest. The reason I used it was first the symbol was and is public domain. And it also symbolizes balance. I was asked once by an old woman in China Town Toronto if I understood it. From my explanation it was obvious I did not. 

    However when it comes to understanding the Yin-Yang Symbol that is like saying the sky is blue!

    Many years ago I studied to some extent the religions of the world. Often time when people do this come back believing nothing. That was not the case with me. It caused me to search more for truth. It also made me see the many lies about the ancient civilizations and the things we have been told about them.  They were far more advanced then we have been told! But that is for another time. 

    Often times the Yin-Yang Symbol is looked at as opposites. There is truth in this. It does superficially represent the duality of existence. Example of this are:

    • Yin - Negative - Yang -Positive
    • Dark - Light
    • Right - left
    • Up - down

    I know you get the idea. But in truth they are not really opposites because as an example there is no pure good, or pure evil. now religion will argue with me on that. However they do not actually have an argument! 

    The world, the universe is a cycle. Good travels and finds evil, evil faces redemption and leads to good. 

    Kyusho Jitsu Yin-Yang Principle

    Kyusho Jitsu Yin-Yang Principle Symbol - The Principle 

    One of the most important of the 15 Principles of Kyusho Jitsu is the Principle of Attack using Yin and Yang. This is one of my personal favorite principles because it works on everyone!  The 24 Hour Diurnal Cycle is divided into Yin-Yang pairs. And you will not there are always 2 like pairs together. 

    Why is that?

    Because opposites do not attract! Like attracts like. And this is a law of nature. Here is where someone will say "like poles of a magnet repel each other." In actually this is not what is happening. Putting like poles of a magnet together is like trying to separate the Yin-Yang itself. It cannot be done because you are trying to stop the energy flow! One cannot exist without the other.

    Even the way in which the symbol itself sits has an affect. I talked about this in my Esoteric Kyusho Jitsu Video Series, and it will be a MAJOR part of the Quantum Kyusho Jitsu Project. The power of the Yin-Yang Symbol and what it represents cannot be over looked!

    Kyusho Jitsu Yin-Yang Principle - Trinity not Duality

    Only from a very superficial viewpoint can the Yin-Yang Symbol be looked at as a duality. It in fact is a trinity. It represent the extremes and the subsequent balance.  And it is represented by math also. Specifically the numbers 3, 6 and 9.

    Quantum Kyusho Jitsu & Yin Yang Theories

    You can see here in this image the numbers representing each part. Do you see anything else? The position of the numbers? 

    This is important and powerful information!

    Duality and the Kyusho Jitsu Yin-Yang Principle

    There is also a very important meaning and learning when it comes to the Yin Yang Theory and life itself. Today we are living in a world of extreme chaos. This is a sever Yin state. Life, a good life, requires balance. And yes you can life a life of balance in a world of extreme chaos.

    I am writing a book called the Power of the Kyusho Yin Yang Theory. This book is not just a Kyusho Jitsu / Pressure Point book but a book about life in general. Check it out if you are interested. Let's finish up for now with the Kyusho Jitsu Yin-Yang Principle.

    Kyusho Jitsu Yin-Yang Principle in Conclusion

    Kyusho Article CONCLUSION

    It will beyond the scope of a blog post to explain all this! It really requires a video or a book! Perhaps both! The 3 numbers and the math they represent are very complex. And there are no other numbers like 3,6 and 9. Nikola Tesla stated these numbers are the key to everything and after much research I see his point! 

    Now you can certainly begin to research all the information I have on the Kyusho Jitsu Yin-Yang Principle & Symbol. If you would like to learn more about Quantum Kyusho Jitsu follow this LINK. And if you have any questions on the Kyusho Jitsu Yin-Yang Principle use the form below to ask!

    5 Misconceptions about Gun Defense

    * 5 Misconceptions about Gun Defense

    What are the 5 Misconceptions about Gun Defense?  In fact most of what is being taught is dead wrong! It is based on the things people see in movies, therefore making it dangerous beyond belief. There is nothing wrong with practicing fancy gun disarms, and other techniques. However to think they apply to real life is fool hearty at best! 

    Back a few years ago I posted an article on the 13 Misconceptions of Knife Attacks. This article told the truth from a expert in the field. Today we will look at a different aspect, GUNS. Share these articles! They may help save a life!

    5 Misconceptions about Gun Defense

    This is a NO WIN. It is ONLY about survival, not being a hero!

    5 Misconceptions about Gun Defense #1

    The first of the 5 Misconceptions about Gun Defense is the idea that you are somehow going to disarm the attacker and not get yourself or someone else shot! Back in the mid 90's my first instructor had his variety store robbed at gun point. He very famously disarmed the robber when he saw an opening to do so. 

    So why am I saying you cannot disarm a gunman? The ONLY reason my instructor was not shot was because the safety was still engaged on the firearm. Otherwise he would have had a hole in him. One thing to understand about this is, that if you have not been shot there is ONLY one reason! The gunman has not decided to kill you yet! The gunman is holding all the cards, you have none!

    5 Misconceptions about Gun Defense #2

    If you grab the gun it won't go off! While there are some firearms this may be true for don't be foolish! It takes very little pressure to squeeze a trigger and the odds are no matter how fast you are you will be shot!

    This is a VERY serious situation and you are not in a position to "see what works." The ONLY priority you need to have is to get out alive and survive!

    5 Misconceptions about Gun Defense

    5 Misconceptions about Gun Defense #3

    "The gun will recoil upward and so I can duck." While there is logic in this idea there is a lot to be considered! If the assailant misses you the bullet is likely to hit someone else who could be behind you! The object is to end this and escape without the gun going off so that the police can then deal with it. Plus, he can still shoot!

    5 Misconceptions about Gun Defense

    This gun would have fired long before it got to this position. If it did not kill you then it will kill anyone in the way!

    This is FOOLISH!

    5 Misconceptions about Gun Defense #4

    "If I disarm them I can use the gun." Yeah, well NO you cannot. If by some miracle you disarm the attacker and get the gun you legally become the attacker! This ideal is pure Hollywood and therefore a pile of CRAP

    5 Misconceptions about Gun Defense #5

    "I can fight back if the bullet does not hit a major organ" Yeah again NO. The moment the bullet enters or even grazes the body you will go into shock! You will not then begin to be able to fight back! Plus there will be a large loss of blood! The object is only to keep the gunman from shooting!

    These are all really common sense. However common sense is not very common these days! So let's look at some logical ways to deal with things.

    5 Misconceptions about Gun Defense - Solutions

    The first step in this scenario is to understand if you have not been shot it is because the gunman has not decided yet to kill you! This is where your skills at de-escalation are paramount! You do train in deescalation right? You cannot talk someone down from this position, but you can find out what they want and do your best to give it to them! 

    Back in 2010 I had an incident I came out of OK because all they wanted was money. Had I tried to be a "hero" it could have gone very bad, very fast! I tossed the money to one side of the attacker, and I went the other way. This ended the conflict. There is more to the story then this, however time contains do not permit me going into it in great details. 

    In Conclusion

    Kyusho Article CONCLUSION

    The only opportunity you are looking for is escape! Then allow the police to do their jobs and deal with this!

    Question: Have you ever been in a life or death high escalation situation? If yes please comment below and tell us about it! This kind of information will help others be safe.

    Understanding Pressure Point Science. What is the best method?

    Understanding Pressure Point Science

    What do I mean by Understanding Pressure Point Science? First we need to define what science really is! It has nothing to do with main stream science today as this is no longer science but almost a religion! 

    Science:

  • 1 n. The observation, identification, description, experimental investigation, and theoretical explanation of phenomena.
  • 2 n. Such activities restricted to a class of natural phenomena.
  • 3 n. Such activities applied to an object of inquiry or study.
  • Understanding Pressure Point Science

    Recently TV star Neil degrasse Tyson made the comment "I am not a professional skeptic I am a scientist!"

    Well actually no, you are preacher because science is all about skepticism! 

    Neil degrasse Tyson is a SHILL

    Above is the real, correct meaning of the word. And today it is very important to use words with their correct meanings!

    Now the reason I bring up the above is because the science of pressure point self defense is all about asking questions, doing study and research. It is also about seeing what works and what does not work. And then looking for the results to be replicated with as high a percent as possible!

    This is what Understanding Pressure Point Science is about!

    Understanding Pressure Point Science

    There are many different levels of study when it comes to Kyusho Jitsu. As with any other kind of study. If you wish to advance you must do the work! For the beginners level there is a 10 Day Free Kyusho Jitsu Mini Course people can take. It is free for a reason! This gives the opportunity to try out real information and then see for themselves what works and what does not. 

    So how do I approach these teachings? I do so from a combination of eastern medicine and western medicine. Both side explain very well how things work, just from a different approach!

    What kinds of things do you learn in this Understanding Pressure Point Science? First there are 5 Basic/Novice Principles that are covered along with anatomy!

    You will develop a great understanding of how the human body works and how to disrupt its functions. 

    Understanding Pressure Point Science

    As you advanced you will develop skills in a total of 15 Principles! These 15 Principle of Kyusho Jitsu are the cornerstone of study and the path to understanding Pressure Point Science! 

    Understanding Pressure Point Science in Conclusion

    Kyusho Article CONCLUSION

    So what do we do in the science? The first step is to learn, and of course memorize the principles and other concepts.

    Next you take that information on to the Dojo training floor and begin to apply it! At first for most people this is a challenge. 

    Learning anything new is always a challenge! This is because at first we have doubts about what we are doing.  But over time these doubts will fade and your work will show progress!

    Also remember too, that is science is not a destination but a journey! This is something forgotten today! When you sincerely do the work, you will always get a result! Thank you for reading Understanding Pressure Point Science!

    The Quantum Kyusho Jitsu Project

    I am a fortunate man as I can focus on my passion full time. This allows me to explore and do real research that many cannot do because of job constrains, family and time.

    I do not fall into that category and can do what I love for a living.

    Quantum Kyusho Jitsu & Yin Yang Theories

    Therefore I often come up with and test new ideas and theories. And these lead to other ideas and theories.

    At first for me it was the idea of something I called Meridian Theory. The concept that you really did not have to focus on pressure points as much as you do the meridian pathways. Then with this understanding I began to add my study of the ancient secrets of the Octagon to it. 

    it was from here that the idea of Quantum Kyusho Jitsu was born! The first step was then to create a video to give people a basic understanding of the foundational theories of Quantum Kyusho Jitsu. This was released back in June 2018 to rave reviews! I even was asked to teach it at the Romanian Martial Arts Training Camp!

    You can learn more about the Introduction to Quantum Kyusho Jitsu from this link!

    Then one morning not too long ago I awoke with an idea, a theory. I began to make notes and the idea for Quantum Kyusho Jitsu 360 was born! 

    Quantum Kyusho Jitsu Project

    And thus begins a new leg of the journey of understanding Pressure Point Science I am calling the Quantum Kyusho Jitsu Project! Below are 2 links.

    The first will take you to the Quantum Kyusho Jitsu Project page where you can learn more and signup for a special mailing list with project updates. The second is to Quantum Kyusho Jitsu 360 with all the information on that all new upcoming video! This is truly a revolution in Kyusho Jitsu Study and Research! And this leads to an understanding Pressure Point Science. 

    High Level Kyusho Study
