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.

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 Cycle of Emotions. How can emotions affect outcome?

    * Kyusho Cycle of Emotions

    What is the Kyusho Cycle of Emotions? How does it work? On the surface it is a very simply cycle. Application of it is however a little more complicated. So let me explain.

    Kyusho Cycle of Emotions

    The breakdown of the Kyusho Cycle of Emotions is as follows:

    1. Happiness destroys Anger
    2. Anger destroys Grief
    3. Grief destroys Happiness

    The cycle is also referring to extremes of emotion. Which complicates its usage. 

    The Kyusho Cycle of Emotions and YOU

    The first issue with the application of the Kyusho Cycle of Emotions is that you, the defending need to be in control of you emotions. This is not an easy task and requires serious practice to achieve. 

    In a demonstration it is very easy to use the Kyusho Cycle of Emotions because it is a controlled environment.

    So as an example you have the Uki attack you after working up some anger, then you hit him at ST-05 while laughing at him and you will have a DEEP Neurological Knockout

    Pretty cool eh? But as you can imagine to laugh at someone trying to hurt you would not be easy. FEAR is the normal psychological response. The fight or flight reflex kicks in.  Now you may be able to defense yourself no problems. But changing the "emotional" state you are in is different. That is a big challenge! Plus it needs to be pure, not just an ego mask!

    Therefore it is a idea good to understand the physiological happening of what are emotions to get a real understanding of how this works.

    Emotional State of Attacker - Kyusho Cycle of Emotions

    You also need to understand the emotional state of the attacker in order to apply the Kyusho Cycle of Emotions! The automatic assumption is that the person is angry. But that is not always the case!

    It really depends on how bad your luck is! Let's take a look at different metal conditions and the associated emotions that come into play. 

    Kyusho Cycle of Emotions

    And if we are honest with ourselves, and when we speak of self defense we must be honest because mental illness has become an epidemic problem today.

    So let's break this down!

    Psychopaths - Kyusho Cycle of Emotions

    Psychosis and Self Defense

    The issue here is emotionally Psychopaths are not influenced by other people emotions. Therefore if one attacks you he or she will feel nothing for you.

    This can cause the attack to be very robotic, and unemotional. Therefore the Kyusho Cycle of Emotions is not really going to be applicable. You can make a Psychopath angry by attacking his or her ego. 

    But that is likely to make the situation far worse! There certainly are ways to defend yourself against a Psychopath using the science of pressure point self defense. But the Kyusho Cycle of Emotions is OUT!

    Also a psychopath does not have a conscience!

    Sociopaths - Kyusho Cycle of Emotions

    The sociopath is a very interesting person. They can also be hands down the most dangerous. They are capable of attacking someone, even killing them with little to no emotional association at all. However not all Sociopaths are interested in doing harm to others. 

    A Sociopath does have a conscience, but it is very weak. Here is a great reference on the difference between the Psychopath and the Sociopath

    Depression - Kyusho Cycle of Emotions

    This is one of the most common forms of mental illness today.  It has been linked to dozens of mass shootings in the USA and is also not very well understood. Depression on its own is not going to be a cause of violence. However there are other factors that come into play.

    Kyusho Cycle of Emotions

    Because depression can basically cripple someone and destroy their lives they can become very resentful inside. This can lead to problems if they decide to act out their resentment on someone who they view is the cause. In this case anger does come into play!

    This can also be complicated and has been complicated by the medication the person is taking.  Here is another read for you on Depression and Violence.

    Kyusho Cycle of Emotions In Conclusion

    Please note I am not targeting in anyway people with any of the above conditions or others. However as martial artist and martial art teachers we need to understand what is happening in our environment. The more people understand mental illness the better! Our goal as martial arts teachers is to help.

    You cannot help what you do not understand. Ignorance is a bad choice. 

    The study of Pressure Points, Kyusho Jitsu is about understanding the human body and how it fuctions. It is not just about hitting or kicking. The better the understand you have the better your chances of success. After all "chance favors the prepared mind."

    This is called a preparatory martial art. And if you want to develop a deep insight into the Cycle of Emotions then understanding Triple Warmer is essential. Learn more about my book Mastering Triple Warmer here.

    Would you like to start to Learn Kyusho Jitsu Today? I mean for real? Real information, real teaching? Then keep reading!

    One of the biggest complaints I hear from those seeking to learn the science of pressure point self defense is that many of those teaching keep secrets. They rehash all the information they taught before in a new form.

    Now review is important! But I have seen many times information being kept back until the student is ready (in reality paid more). We all need to make a living, and this what I do! But I believe it is more important to spread the knowledge to more people.  

    Teaching with Systems

    In order to learn anything well there needs to be teaching systems in place. That is what the Kyusho Jitsu World Alliance is all about. Spreading the teachings of Kyusho Jitsu via systems to make sure the dedicated student REALLY learns!

    It is not about me! It is about YOU the Student, and helping you to master pressure points!  Systems are what makes masters!

    Kyusho Jitsu Does it Work?

    Kyusho Jitsu Does it Work?

    Today I am going to address a common question, Kyusho Jitsu Does it Work? This is a very common question. It actually came up for me on a Google Search, so lets answer this one!

    But first I need to ask you, the reader a few questions!

    1) Do you run a Dojo? Are you successful?
    2) Are you a MMA champion?
    3) Have you a professional fight?

    What did you answer to those 3 questions? If yes to any, good for you! If no to any, then why not? 

    The fact is that the answer to each of those questions is based on you! If want to do it, if it is a goal in your life. If you have drive and ambition, you can do any or all of those things listed! Kyusho Jitsu Does it Work?

    The answer is really up to you!

    Kyusho Jitsu Does it Work? - Failures in Life

    People who are FAILURES in life can find an excuse why ANYTHING does not work. AND IT IS ALL EXCUSES! 

    I played hockey most of my life. But I never made the NHL. Why? Because if was not a passion for me to do so! Now if it had been things could certainly have gone wrong. Injuries can end a career quickly!

    Kyusho Jitsu Does it Work

    Same with self defense. Like getting attacked, trying to defend yourself and you get stabbed! The reason you got stabbed was not a shortfall of your martial art system.

    It was YOUR shortfall! Errors you made. The situation perhaps, but not the martial art itself.

    Kyusho Jitsu does it work?

    Yes it DOES, 100%  if YOU do the work! But it takes time, dedication and hard training. Like anything in life, success or failure falls into the hand of the individual. I have had many failures in my life, and they are ALL my fault and not something outside of me. 

    So what does it take to make Kyusho Jitsu work in real life? Study,dedication and training! Yes it really is that simple! Here is another article I wrote on the subject a while back.  You can learn and accomplish anything in life you wish, when you stop listening to those who wish to pull you down.  Kyusho Jitsu Does it Work? If you train properly YES IT DOES!

    Kyusho Jitsu Does it Work in Conclusion

    Kyusho Article CONCLUSION

    I have seen so many times someone commenting "Pressure Points don't work" and then in the next breath talk about the great KO they saw in the recent MMA event. 

    Kyusho Jitsu Does it Work? What do you think at this point?

    The funny thing is that KO was the result of stimulation of the nervous system! All knockouts are neurological events! Don't let your ego get in the way of becoming more effective!
