Pressure Point GB-01

Pressure Point GB-01 is located 0.5 cun lateral to the outer edge of the canthus of the eye. The point is in the orbicularis muscle.

The nerves in the region include the zygomaticofacial, zygomaticotemporal and the temporal and frontal branches or the facial nerve.

Striking this pressure point with no other setup has a dramatic result. Aside from serious eye damage this pressure point can cause nausea, loss of memory and in extreme cases death. This is a potential result. It would be caused by underlying health issues. Today in the Western Culture because of people's addiction to pharmaceuticals many have serious underlying health problems exist. Just listen or read the potential side effects from all these unnecessary drugs.  

Please use extreme caution here. Do not under any circumstances use this pressure point in demonstrations. Doing so is grossly negligent. This si for life and death situations.

Pressure Point GV-22

This pressure point is located 3 cun anterior to GV-20, 2 cun posterior to the anterior hairline. As you can see pictured above. This one is extremely powerful and can will cause temporary blindness.  That is a powerful aid in self defense.  Also to note that because of its location it is not difficult to target.

A solid strike with all cause disorientation, and massive brain dysfunction. A knockout is very likely, or at least staggering and confusion. It is not likely to cause a concussion because a concussion comes from the brain bouncing around in the skull. This is a strike here in the wrong direction. Pressure Points like TW-18 on the side of the head are more effective for this result. As an interesting side note helmets do NOT prevent concussion only bone damage to the skull. All head strikes are potentially deadly for many reasons.

Striking pressure point is a fast end to any attack. Pressure Point GV-22 is also one of the 36 Dim Mak Vital Points. A hammer fist using Two Way Action is the perfect tool to attack this point.

Pressure Point GV-22 - In Conclusion

Too bad he misses the point. Likely he does not understand how things work. Learning is essential for success. Thank you for reading this article on Pressure Point GV-22.

This is a dangerous pressure point and striking it very hard can result in delayed death due to other complications*. When used with PC-06, a strike to the chest will cause severe damage and Heart issues can result.

As an example of this is simply touching Pressure Point PC-06. This weakens the chest area. Pressure Points located on the arms are excellent for self defense training because everyone has 2 arms, and these always present themselves during an attack. 

The other *complications mentioned above with also vary with the health of the attacker. Today, after 2 years of lockdowns and other issues peoples general health is questionable. Many people I know in the Western Culture have gained a tremendous amount of body mass. This is a very bad and unhealthy situation.  

Pressure Point TW-08 - In Conclusion

Any point, like Pressure Point TW-08 can have a great effect on the body. And the Triple Warmer Meridian an all associated pressure points should be studies with it. 

Physical and Mental health are a balance, and both are governed in many ways by Triple Warmer. 

Thank you for reading Pressure Point TW-08 also.

So lets start!

Pressure Point GB-06

It will be a slow process and can result in death within a few days. When the artery is damaged it shows up in the eyes as different sized pupils. There is also an electric shock present after the strike and a knockout will occur with little effort.

This point is getting close to a point just above the ear which is a major Dim Mak pressure point. Therefore it is important NOT to use this pressure point for demonstration purposes! Death can result very easily!

I get questions often about how to reverse damage from a pressure point strike. It is important to understand some strikes are like gun shots. They cannot be revered! This, Pressure Point GB-06 is one such point.

Affects of Commercialization on Pressure Points

Men like Robert Trias come to mind here.  Others continue to study and learn from the Japanese, Korean, Chinese masters who immigrated. The result was some amazing martial artists coming to light in the west.

The problem was there were a greater number with huge egos believing the arts was about fighting who began to destroy the arts by no longer learning. And just believing they had all the answers. And because of this many aspects of the martial arts began to disappear. Most importantly pressure point study was once such aspect.

Affects of Commercialization on Pressure Points

How did this happen? Well in my view, from my research the Affects of Commercialization on Pressure Points was simply because by nature people are lazy. Especially egotistical people. Children were also begin taught and therefore deadly techniques needed to be removed. 

The problem is as the masses began to want to learn the arts, many were only looking for an activity, not a way of life. This caused further watering down. History of the art being taught began to be ignored by the head of the system. My original root art of Hapkido is a great example. Questions were not allowed and history was not spoken of at all. And if you look at the History of Hapkido you see how things progressed, and also why it is far from a complete system.  It also appears to be more about positioning and politics that training. This is what made me look to the outside world for more teachings. And I was successful finding it. 

Affects of Commercialization on Pressure Points

Most of all the Affects of Commercialization on Pressure Points has been profound, so much so that many of the high ego martial art instructors and students deny their existence and effectiveness because it takes the spotlight off them. And you know you are correct when you question them because they attack talking about their "linage" and their rank. This behavior is so childish.

There are many systems I see in the wild I personally are not impressed with. But I do not talk about them. The reason is I have not studied them to make an informed decisions. And attended a few seminars is meaningless.

Pressure Point Study

More about the Affects of Commercialization on Pressure Points. Pressure Point study or Kyusho Jitsu exists in only a handful of martial arts styles or systems. The majority ignore it, or talk about it with no substance or understanding. I know one well respected Hapkido Grand Master I met trying to impress me with his knowledge of pressure points. However he only knew locations, and nothing else. I would have been much more interested in his history as a student than what he believed he knew about pressure points.

But it does not need to be this way. Kyusho Jitsu is a study. However it is not a study of motion, but of the acupuncture system of the body from a destructive viewpoint. 

You can add it to your current martial art without having to radically change what you are doing. Will this then make pressure points street worth for you? That depends on your root art. And unfortunately most arts today are so watered down for sport that they have no street worthiness.

And sorry people, sport and street have no relationship. And do not think because you won a bar fight that you are "all that." If you think that you are a fool.

Affects of Commercialization on Pressure Points - In Conclusion

And I am working on a History of Kyusho Jitsu you might enjoy reading. The affects of Affects of Commercialization on Pressure Points have been quiet profound as I am sure you can see.

Thank you for reading Affects of Commercialization on Pressure Points.

And this is a programmed response, brainwashed response, based on disappointments and indoctrination of the the Western Cultures systems. And with Kyusho Jitsu training, or ANYTHING in life this is the wrong approach. With Kyusho believing is Seeing. That is the concept of INTENT.

Kyusho believing is Seeing

What is INTENT? Intent is seeing the result you are seeking before you do the work to obtain the result. The breakdown is as follows.

• Desire to accomplish something. As an example a pressure point knockout.
• Do the work to learn the things you need to know to make the desire happen. This with Kyusho Jitsu includes information about the pressure points and training to be able to hit the points correctly based on the information.
• Leave the EGO at home and DO IT.

Yes you may fail! Awesome! Analyze what you did, see where the errors are and correct the errors. Rinse and repeat! Do NOT be like a majority who fail at doing something and begin the lies as to why it did not work. You can call them excuses if you like. But I call them lies. Excuses are lies to the self.

There are many martial artists in the world who are either to lazy, to egotistical or too stupid to make Kyusho work. However those who do the work always succeed with time. This formula also applies to anything in life you want to do, have to accomplish, as long as it is not ridiculous. Today when people do not get what they want they carry on like 2 years having a tantrum and calling the world unfair. LOSERS.

An example of ridiculous is me at 5'9" and my age thinking I am going to be a pro basketball player. People like this are just idiots. You cannot fix stupid. Do I seem harsh? I am because it needs to be said. Truth brings strength.

Kyusho believing is Seeing, wanna see the result? Believe it first! 

Kyusho believing is Seeing - In Conclusion

And do not get discouraged when things do not go right. That is normal. You fail everyday and you are only a failure when you give up and quit!

Thank you for taking time to read Kyusho believing is Seeing.

A Kyusho Principle called Tempo. Have you ever watched martial artist train? Now I realize you since you are reading this are a martial artist and train. But have you sat and watched? Free sparring, self defense and even kata?

It is chaos! Students running into each other, falling, you name it! I recall back in the 80's when I competed ending up falling on chairs because of something I was they to do and lost balance. 

Kyusho Principle called Tempo

If you cannot dance you cannot fight. This was something my first teacher Master Philip Hollohan told me. And this man could dance! WOW! Born and raised in Newfoundland Canada dancing is a cultural norm there. And he was, in the Tae Kwon Do world of the 70's and early 80's, North American Grand Champion 7 years running. Now Master Hollohan understood these natural laws and this was why he was so amazing. 

And you know I am not big on sport, but on the street this man was also devastating. What the video below. Watch the interplay of these ice dancers.

So what does this have to do with martial arts and Kyusho? These skaters respond to each others movement. The man leads, the woman responds. That is how they accomplish this. Martial Artists react to each others movement, which is out of tempo. If they were trained in a preparatory martial art, and not a reactionary martial art then they would understand the natural laws of motion, which would UNLOCK the opportunity for pressure points strikes using the correct temp. Because the Kyusho Principle called Tempo would simply happen. 

Now isn't that interesting?

Kyusho Principle called Tempo - In Conclusion

But this is not for everyone. I really wish it was. If you want to learn more about natural laws there is a free video below that will get you started. This understanding, these teachings will take you Kyusho to a very different level.

Kyusho Jitsu and Resuscitation is based on Traditional Chinese Medicine TCM , NOT western medicine. With that said there are certain things you need to know and understand. Now I can only speak of laws in Canada, but you can assume they are the same or close worldwide. 

Kyusho Jitsu and Resuscitation - Types 

There are 3 basic types of resuscitation a Kyusho student or teacher would deal with. They are as follows.

• A state of unconsciousness or dizziness (Head)
• Issues breathing (Lung)
• Cardiac events (Heart)

The 1st I am not concerned about with this warning. A neurological knockout, as long as the Uke recovers quickly, which they do 99% of the time is not of concern. However if you have been certified in CPR you must by law do that training if you encounter heart or lung issues with a Uke after a pressure  point strike or any other time a serious situation could arise in a Dojo. Myself I am not certified and never will be. CPR is an epic FAILURE and recover is rare when a heart stops. Now I am referring to chest compression. Reverse CPR has an amazing recovery rate! But western medicine does not talk about this. 

You can see this is true by the fact that portable defibrillators are now present in gyms, arenas and sport complexes. And this method is based on the same principle as what I teach in Kyusho often called Reverse CPR. And no matter which method is used you must get medical attention for the student. In Canada the 1st responders are excellent. They are even better in Romania! The hospital level is a different story sadly. 

Head Resuscitation

It is beyond this article, Kyusho Jitsu and Resuscitation to teach resuscitation. However the video below will show you the basic head resuscitation. 

Kyusho Jitsu and Resuscitation is a very important subject and you do need coaching with this. And this is why I created the certification course. This way I can see exactly what the student is doing during their grading and make corrections. Kyusho Jitsu and Resuscitation is an extremely important topic all should learn. 

Kyusho Jitsu and Resuscitation - In Conclusion

Plus I want nothing to do with you! Only an IDIOT allows this to happen. Accident happen, that is different. Doing this on purpose to feed your ego is disgusting. 

In modern times Dojo training becomes much more challenging. Many Dojo's have closed their doors due to the bad times. 

However the online world offers many opportunities. I cannot speak for other Kyusho teachers but I answer emails, and help students personally with their questions. Below you can ask any questions you have on this topic. 

Thank you for taking a few minutes from your day to read this important article called Kyusho Jitsu and Resuscitation.

I want to link to a website that offers good information on Traditional Chinese Medicine. At one time I could have used Wikipedia, however today they are more interested in political propaganda than facts. If you know of a good website talking about TCM please send it to me.

While not as dangerous as Pressure Point LU-01 it is close. The problem is LU-01 is hard to access, LU-05 is easy. Therefore it become potentially much more dangerous.

Pressure Point LU-05

LU-05: This Pressure Point is located in the depression of the Cubital fossa at the ulna aspect on the cubital crease, on the radial side of the tendon of the biceps brachii. The point is located with the elbow slightly flexed. Located in the origin of the brachioradialis muscle.

This is a major energy pooling point for the Lung Meridian which is why it is used for the initial Lung resuscitation. A strike to Pressure Point LU-05 can cause a knockout as well as severe damage to the area. The cause of the knockout is tied to the radial nerve and the protection of the radial artery. From the chi aspect the entire body can be put out of balance from attacking this pressure point. And LU-05 is an Underlying Indicator Point.

This pressure point can cause great damage to the whole system. It can cause a knock out when struck with for instance a back-palm and using a ‘dead arm’ strike. This is where the arm is totally loose with no tension at all and is thrown at the target making use of the heaviness of the arm itself. 

It can be used as a set up point, or it can be used all by itself as a devastating strike. The whole upper body is put out of balance both physically and Chi wise. A strong strike can also cause potential brain damage. Because this point is a ‘he’ point, when struck rather than used for healing, it will take Chi away from the lungs. In addition, as the lungs are part of the power system of the body, you will lose power instantly. Depending on the person death can result.

Pressure Point LU-05 - In Conclusion

There is far too much destruction, damage being done in the world today. The values once taught in the martial arts world need to return. Here is a link to an article on the World Budo Alliance website called Zen story on Healing. Check it our if you have a moment.

Pressure Point TW-12

TW-12 is located mid upper arm line joining the olecranon and TW-14 midway between TW-11 and TW-13. On the overlap in the Triceps Muscles.

Striking this pressure point straight through will result in a primary release of the shoulder and a secondary release of the elbow resulting in possible dislocations of both. While a break in the arm is possible, it is not probable due to the releases mentioned.

TW-12 is a fire element pressure point that is also liked to the endocrine system in the body. The best striking action is with a slapping motion. If you are not familiar with the 5 Elements and the Cycle of Destruction follow the links to the articles. 

The pressure point also exposes itself best when the arm is twisted with the palm facing up in the same direction as the point itself.

Pressure Point TW-12 is an excellent pressure point to be used by all grappling types of arts due to the hands on work. 

Pressure Point TW-12 - In Conclusion

Now there is no need to master all the pressure points I discuss on the blog. 

But as you get comfortable with one, move on to another. There is no rush, study them well, and work to make them your own.  You will find you have likes and dislikes. As an example the majority of martial artists who study Kyusho Jitsu love Pressure Point GB-20. Personally I am not a fan of it.

We are all different and that is fine. It is the study that matters most. Be a lifelong student.

Thank you for taking time to read Pressure Point TW-12.

Ask Questions!

I strongly encourage people to ask questions. One question I received recently was why i am promoting Kosho Ryu so strongly. Because my study of natural laws of Kosho is why my pressure point strikes work so well for me.
