HPPT and Nonlethal Force. How to stay out of jail!

* HPPT and Nonlethal Force

HPPT and Nonlethal Force: Most martial artists and their instructors live in a fantasy world when it comes to self defense. And I will say it once again! Self Defense is NOT MMA, ring fighting, street fighting or an ego trip. Thus, it is a serious matter, with serious consequences.

Most of all it is requires specialized training, and this training is not what 90 percent of the population think it is. Therefore with that in mind today I want to address HPPT and Nonlethal Force

So, what is HPPT? If you read this blog or follow me elsewhere you will know that stands for Humane Pressure Point Tactics.  Here is an article that will go into great details on Humane Pressure Point Tactics.

And there is on this blog at least a dozen articles on self defense. Most of all I mean directly on Self Defense. Important to note I have spent 30 years in search of what works, why it works and how to properly train for self defense. But oddly it is a subject few martial artists are interested in. People would write me asking question but only for the reason of "debate" on the subject.

Therefore after all these years I have no interest in debate. You either wish to learn or not. Both are correct ways to think. And I have nothing to prove. However with the current issues in the world today. The massive corruption that infiltrates every aspect or life, HPPT and Nonlethal Force are a talk we need to have.

HPPT and Nonlethal Force

Important to understand is that Self Defense has been under attack in the western cultures for a long time. I have written many articles on this. One such article "your right to self defense in the 21st century" being one. But I am not going to cover old ground. Follow the link if you are interested. I do need to discuss "Nonlethal Force" because making mistakes, especially today will get you locked away forever.

Aside from the fact that psychologically most people cannot live with the guilt of taking a human life, no matter how much they think they can!  Today you will not be judged by the "rule of law" but by who you used lethal force against and what you think politically. 

HPPT and Nonlethal Force - Let's look at what I mean

Back in spring 2020 the USA had massive politically based and paid for riots in democratic cities. These riots were called my MSM "mostly peaceful." I watch live underground video feeds while it was happening. There was NOTHING peaceful abut these protests.

Most of all these peaceful protesters today, who have committed acts of murder are walking free. And the terrorist organization BLM responsible for this has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. Hence, I hope you see the playing field of self defense is NOT LEVEL.

And yesterday an article was featured in Time magazine stating the election in the USA was rigged and that this WAS OK! 

HPPT and Nonlethal Force

With the current move to communism in the west, and yes this is all communism, using lethal force will likely be a life sentence for you. And possibly a death sentence also as retribution will be allowed. You need special skills today!

Also other BIG issues that should be and once was a saving grace,  is video surveillance by the masses. Video was once a great way to show innocent. But editing now can turn a real self defense situation into murder. Special training skills are needed. And HPPT and Nonlethal Force is an example of this.

HPPT and Nonlethal Force in Conclusion

HPPT and Nonlethal Force CONCLUSION

People are very slowly waking up to the truth about 2020/2021/2022.

We have all be HAD. Life circumstances woke me up decades ago.

But as the masses see the lies and realize the clear and present danger we face today, you know it will take time before things get better.

As of the time of this writing the next 30 days are critical. Beyond that time recovery is decades. And beyond my life cycle. If you read this far I assume you are awake or waking up. I have been cryptic on purpose. 

Below I offer some critical learn possibilities. Some free, some come at a minimal price. Have a look, watch the videos and consider what I am saying. Thank you for reading HPPT and Nonlethal Force.

Self Defense and Fear. How to Slay the False Dragon

* Self Defense and Fear

Self Defense and Fear: This seems to be a very good topic for this place in time. Self Defense and Fear has been the topic of many questions asked of me over time. So I am going to do my best to answer this question today. And to explain the relationship between the 2 elements.

What is fear? Fear is a primal reaction to circumstances. It is an emotion hard wired into your brain. It is ego and self preservation all in one. Definition taken from a Wikipedia article:

Self Defense and Fear

Fear is an emotion induced by perceived danger or threat, which causes physiological changes and ultimately behavioral changes, such as fleeing, hiding, or freezing from perceived traumatic events.

Fear in human beings may occur in response to a certain stimulus occurring in the present, or in anticipation or expectation of a future threat perceived as a risk to oneself. The fear response arises from the perception of danger leading to confrontation with or escape from/avoiding the threat (also known as the fight-or-flight response), which in extreme cases of fear (horror and terror) can be a freeze response or paralysis

Today I am no longer a fan of Wikipedia, that is because their information tends to be very politically motivated, therefore becoming less factual. Infact they tend today to outright lie. But the above definition works for this discussion.

We also need to then divide this into two different categories, the rational fear and the irrational fear. 

Self Defense and Fear - Irrational Fear

An example today of irrational fears is the current "boogieman virus" situation today. The reaction of many is the very definition of irrational.  Listening too and believing propaganda with NO EVIDENCE at all that is truthful or factual, but still causes fear, is truly the very definition of irrational fear. 

An example of what I mean with the current "pandemic" situation.  They are considering 'case numbers' to be more important than deaths. Deaths is the ONLY number that matters and that is less than 100th of 1 percent.  If you are afraid of the current situation other then the authoritarian attitudes I encourage you to look into it deeply. But not from Facebook or CNN. Today ALL mass media lie for profit. These companies need to be removed. That is done by not watching and support them and their pathological lying.

There is NO REASON to be afraid, therefore the fear is irrational. And it is very unhealthy!  

Self Defense and Fear - Rational Fear

The situation on the streets of the failed Western Cultures today, well the entire world really, is something you can be rationally afraid of.  Today there is a serious violence problem on the streets. The reasons this is happening are many! But lets simply look at the relationship now with Self Defense and Fear.

How do you overcome fear? You cannot! There is no way to over ride the emotions you are feeling. Instead you must become BRAVER which will allow you to deal with the Self Defense and Fear situation. 

How is this done? Well this is a process, so lets look at it now.

Self Defense and Fear

Dealing with fear takes time! There is no magic pill you can take and become braver. And never lie to yourself about being brave either! This will make it worse!

My first suggestion is too train HARDER and more often. And train with an Uke you do not like to use! One who can challenge your techniques. Easy is not good! You can start easy but you need to ramp up the intensity on a continual basis! Challenge yourself each time!

If you are intimidated by the idea of a larger attacker, find a BIG training partner! Work up to live training, where you do not know what the attack will be! Train in the dark! This is so beneficial on so many levels!

Train in a Gi, and plain clothes, with shoes and without! Cover as man aspect of the street as you can do! This is what becoming braver is all about!  This is not stop you from being afriad, but you will be better equiped to handle the stress of fear.

This applies to all aspects of life. 

Self Defense and Fear in Conclusion

Kyusho Article CONCLUSION

The answer to fear is found in your Dojo! Train harder! If you are worried about larger attackers, find a larger training partner.

If you are worried about knives, train for knife defense. And remember self defense is not now, nor has it ever been a ring fight.

That mentality will get you killed very fast!

Kyusho Jitsu Uke. The Line between training and Negligence.

* Kyusho Jitsu Uke [Training Partner]

Kyusho Jitsu Uke: This is my first post of 2021! So Happy New Year! And for Kyusho Jitsu in 2021 I think it is going to be a good one! But today I want to take a few moments and upset some people. We are going to discuss the Kyusho Jitsu Uke or training partner. In particular we are going to discuss Uke safety as it relates to Kyusho Jitsu study.

What I see in the Kyusho Jitsu universe is a lot of very reckless people who made a name for themselves or are trying to make a name for themselves not taking proper precautions when it comes to the Uke or training partner.

My guess is either these people are IDIOTS or so egotistical and narcissistic they simply do not care about the Kyusho Jitsu Uke. Maybe both! And I have seen these examples time and time again. I ever have had some arguments with these people. But lets get into this more. 

Kyusho Jitsu Uke - The Law 

I know that many Dojo owners have their students sign wavers for injury. And this is smart. But thinking this is a waver for negligence is stupid. 

You cannot wave gross negligence! Here is a link to a legal dictionary discussing the laws. 

And an example of GROSS NEGLIGENCE is allowing Kyusho Jitsu Uke or student to free fall to the ground after being struck, and brain dysfunction occurs or the Uke losses consciousness.

* Kyusho Jitsu Uke [Training Partner]

There is no amount of "I'm sorry" or wavers that will help you or prevent injury to the student. The student may strike their head hard, concussing themselves, or damaging the neck/back.

You are in serious legal trouble and the Uke can be in jeopardy of losing his or her life!

Is looking good, showing off your "skills" really that important to you? 

Kyusho Jitsu Uke - Student Injuries

I see a very careless attitude in many Kyusho Jitsu instructors. As an example about 10 years ago I was at a Kyusho Jitsu seminar where one of the presenters seriously injured his Uke's shoulder trying to show off how good he is. If you really are good there is no need to show off!

Brain Trauma

I know I lost respect for this person.

In my 37 years of martial arts training  I have NEVER caused even ONE serious injury to ANYONE. Now that is a bragging point!

So what can go wrong during an Uke fall? First realize something. You CANNOT break-fall while in a condition of brain dysfunction! But lets look at the potential injury list. 

  1. Concussion from head impact with the floor! This can happen even with mats! Mats can protect the exterior of the skull from damage but they DO NOT stop the brain from crashing against the inside of the skull resulting in brain injury and possible death.
  2. Injury to the vertebrae of the neck and spine. [Whiplash from the bounce ] In the best case scenario chronic pain for the rest of the Kyusho Jitsu Uke life. Possible temporary or permanent paralysis of the body and even death!

Do I really need to say more? Is this language plain enough for people? There are certainly other injuries that are possible. I could spend all day talking about this. But this is a good enough start! 

As a side note gross negligence carries a prison sentence depending on the situation. Death of an Uke is homicide. Still think showing off is worth risk?

Kyusho Jitsu Uke - Resuscitation

Another aspect of the practice of Kyusho Jitsu and therefore the care of the Kyusho Jitsu Uke is understanding, and I mean a deep understanding of resuscitation.

You will never keep a training partner if they get injured or sick because you do not bother to follow rules of safety when dealing with pressure point strikes.

* Kyusho Jitsu Alarm Points

Do not be lazy! Learn proper resuscitation techniques and train with them! This is the most important part of the learning process. Now it is beyond this article to teach these techniques, but below is a basic breakdown.

You must learn proper resuscitation of the:

  1. Head
  2. Lungs
  3. Heart

These are the critical safety courses and tools. This helps the body recover from the trauma of a pressure point strike and stabilize. If this is not done in the short term the Uke will feel like he or she has a hangover. More serious is potential injury to organs. Once example is illness to the large intestine. Serious diarrhea or constipation can occur. 

In the western culture because of BAD food, and bad diet habits most people suffer from issues with the digestive system. Make your training partner sick and you will be looking for a new one soon. Eventually no one will work with you!

Kyusho Jitsu Uke - Rules and Good practices to Follow

Here are a few rules and/or good practices to follow when working with a training partner or Kyusho Jitsu Uke. These will prevent injury and illness. And could also keep your ass out of court or jail!

  1. Always spot the Uke! Have 2 people in correct position to catch any Uke when the possibility of a knockout is present.
  2. Know the medical history of the training partner! No one with heart issues should ever is knocked out. Any serious illness means they watch and are not used for demonstrations.
  3. No one under 16 or over 30 should be used! Unless you are VERY experienced and know for a fact the medical history of the Uke.
  4. Keep the strikes when using someone extensively to one side of the body ONLY. The Kyusho principle of attack along the meridian is powerful. Understand this principle well
  5. Keep the Uke hydrated! Water is essential and ONLY water not those crap sports drinks. 

Kyusho Jitsu Uke in Conclusion

Kyusho Article CONCLUSION

I write this article on Kyusho Jitsu Uke because I see too many examples of bad and even criminal practice in the martial arts world in general.

The health and safety of the Kyusho Jitsu Uke is of upmost importance and should never be taken for granted or neglected. Thanks for reading Kyusho Jitsu Uke.

Kyusho Education not Indoctrination – Chance Favors the Prepared Mind

* Kyusho Education not Indoctrination

Kyusho Education not Indoctrination - Chance Favors the Prepared Mind: People "take" martial arts classes for many different reasons, and most of the time it is the wrong reason.

That is why the quit rate in a martial arts dojo is so high. In some Dojo's it is as high as 90%.

But eventually everyone quits. And those who decide to pursue a Kyusho education also have a high quit rate, and one reason is we need Kyusho Education not Indoctrination.

Kyusho Education not Indoctrination

* Kyusho Education not Indoctrination

The education system in the west DISGUSTS ME. In the upper levels professions wish for their students to becomes slaves to their "brilliance" and yet they are only corrupt minions of the system they are involved in.

 Selling out their students to keep their boss happy.  In Canada, a sad and now pathetic country of the indoctrinated the "education" system does NOT teach cursive writing to children. 

Which destroys their potential as human beings PERIOD. Indoctrination is the "order of the day" in Canada.

But I am a little off topic, what does this all have to do with Kyusho Jitsu? I am a Kyusho Jitsu teacher not instructor, I believe in Kyusho Education not Indoctrination. My job is to provide the student with information and then make them think about it. Assess the information and decide how to be apply the information. Then using the knowledge attempt a knockout or create brain dysfunction in their Uki. Following protocols of safety of course. 

Not to provide answers, but to encourage pursue of knowledge and then to apply it! 

Kyusho Education not Indoctrination

I do not believe in showing off. There is lots of video out their of me teaching seminars and doing knockouts. But unlike many in the field I do not post hundreds of videos of me showing how great I am. I want my students to be great, better than me.

But that requires commitment on not just my part, but the student also. Sometimes I see Kyusho people with cute little titles and nicknames. Things like the "Mozart of Kyusho." Nice, but I would rather be the "Doctor House" of Pressure Point Study making you think in the abstract, and developing your ability to connect the dots and make pressure points WORK.

Chance Favors the Prepared Mind

* chance favors the prepared mind

This is a great saying. And it is true beyond measure. Interestingly enough you could sum up the classic book The Art of War using this phrase!  

And this is also about learning to THINK, not just accept everything you are told as fact, but rather use both logic and reason to make you own conclusions based on the information given. 

Understanding the answers are not etched in stone, but will grow and develop.

 And today with the fact that almost everything to see, read and hear is propaganda then deductive reasoning becomes a survival skill. Martial arts training is about survival and war.

Today the war is not fought with guns and knives, but with words and mind control. Manipulation, lies, gas-lighting and censorship

Most of the world today suffers from cognitive dissonance, and that is a serious and dangerous mental condition. Don't believe me? Go outside and watch the people. It should concern you greatly. Unless you are a fool.

Chance Favors the Prepared Mind, what does this mean? Are you educating yourself constantly based on research and facts, not trying to make yourself "feel" good with the outcome, but understanding from a point of LOGIC, cold and hard,  so intelligent decisions can be made?

Kyusho Education not Indoctrination Martial Arts is about MIND

I have been int he martial art world going on 37 years. And thankfully because I am a risk taker therefore the majority of this time has been full time. Martial Arts is a physical avenue designed to connect the body to the mind. Then ultimately the body-mind-spirit connection.

And that is rarely if ever accomplished with sport or competition. Competition is a emotional based ego trip to prove yourself better than someone else, rather then to become better than you were yesterday.

*Value of celebrity opinions

All you have to do is look the world of profession sports, the drug addiction, the physical abuse of spouses and children to see that EGO is not the answer.

You now see the egos on every playing field, as they try to force their unresearched opinions on the masses to make themselves feel important. But I can say that about Hollywood too! 

Developing the MIND is everything. Then as a by-product developing the spirit. This is the path of life. A Kyusho Education not Indoctrination is one way to get on that path. The path of using the brain, the mind to its full potential. A calm, focused, propaganda proof, questioning mind. 

Chance favors the prepared mind, and MIND is everything.

Kyusho Jitsu is a Puzzle to be solved

Kyusho Jitsu is a puzzle to be solved, not a truth. Solving the puzzles develops the mind, Applying the knowledge learned makes any martial art more effective.  It take the focus off the physical and makes the martial artist ageless. 

And we all grow old! I knew one day I would grow old too, I just did not think it would be this fast! Kyusho Education not Indoctrination!

Kyusho Education not Indoctrination in Conclusion

Kyusho Education not Indoctrination CONCLUSION

The other day I had a gentleman approach me about learning some Pressure Points. Plus he sent me images of his note taking.

He wanted me to teach him on my Dim Mak Group on Facebook directly. But that is just not possible,  I have laid out a specific path for students, and the path works because the quality of the students in the KJWA is very high. 

And I hope he will follow that path! Also I hope you will seek this knowledge also. And if you are a student recommit your efforts to learning. True commitment has no expiry date.

The path is hard, it requires time and perseverance to become good. Seek a Kyusho education not indoctrination. If your teacher does not push to make you think, then it is indoctrination.  Thank you for reading this article called Kyusho Education not Indoctrination.

Hot Hands Kyusho Jitsu. How to go beyond Ki Development

* Hot Hands Kyusho Jitsu

Hot Hands Kyusho Jitsu: Why are some people so successful when they demonstrated the science of pressure point fighting called Kyusho Jitsu? Then others who have a deep intellectual understanding have issues getting things to work? The answer is easy. I call it the Hot Hands Kyusho Jitsu. Let me explain.

Back in the day Chi Development was simply part of training. It was not a separate entity that a student would seek out as they progressed. Meditation and Chi training were just part of the over all training picture. 

Today the martial art world, especially in the Western Culture is very different. Commercial schools and sport has watered things down a great deal. 

And adult enrollment in the martial arts in general is down as much as 90 percent. In my personal view the days of the Dojo in the West are coming to an end. And this is very sad. But I know it will continue for those who wish to learn underground. 

Hot Hands Kyusho Jitsu - Chi Development

To get a grasp on what is needed to take your martial arts training and practice to the level of the masters of old you MUST understand and train to develop your Chi.

The term Hot Hand Kyusho Jitsu refers to hand with a high level of Chi energy always present in them. 

Chi Combat

When hands have a high level of Chi present they will take on a "mottled" appearance. Blotchy, with usually but not always a slight purple appearance. This is not always present but turned on by the student when needed. 

This comes from dedicated Chi Development done over time. There are many different methods of doing this kind of work. It can be done with sound, as detailed in my Kyusho Home Study Course, and also through creating and controlling a Chi Ball, which will be discussed more below where you can get a free video learning how to do this.

Hot Hands Kyusho Jitsu - Meditation Training

Without meditation training you are not going to get very far. One of the main benefits of meditation is to clear and focus the mind. You will hear this often discussed in today's martial rt classes.

Kyusho Jitsu Cycle of Emotions - Control Emotions

But in my opinion they are falling short of accomplishing this when meditation is not done.

But in today's rather pathetic world of instant gratification no one wants to do the work to get the result.

Meditation takes time and thousands of hours in a lifetime to truly experience the benefits. 

The more time you spend meditating the better the result. I have been myself involved the martial arts world going on 37 years, and about 34 years of this time involved in one form of mediation or another. 

Hot Hands Kyusho Jitsu in Conclusion

Hot Hands Kyusho Jitsu CONCLUSION

Hot Hands Kyusho Jitsu is a high Chi energy condition that makes striking pressure point more effective than average.

You can succeed without this condition and understanding. And you can do VERY well without it!

But why settle for less when you can train harder now and get a better results in the future. Plus this kind of training is for when you are older and cannot keep a high fitness level due to age and injury. I know my days o putting my feet over my head are long long. But I do not worry about the streets. I have prepared all my life to be an aging martial artist.

Thank you for taking time today to read Hot Hands Kyusho Jitsu.

Chi Power of Intention. What focus can do!

* Chi Power of Intention

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

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

Chi Power of Intention

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

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

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

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

* Morihei Ueshiba

Morihei Ueshiba


If you look at Morihei Ueshiba's eyes and body posture you can see the inner power and tranquility he possesses. 

His understanding of all this information is like a river that runs very deep.

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

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

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

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

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

The Chi Connection - Chi Power of Intention

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

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

Chi Power of Intention in Conclusion

* Chi Power of Intention CONCLUSION

So, I am going to give you some resources below to look at to help you develop the Chi Power of Intention as I am calling this.

And it is up to you how far you want to take all these different studies. And today things must be broken down into study modules and areas. 

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

Kyusho Jitsu and Meditation. How to Calm the Mind

* Kyusho Jitsu and Meditation

Kyusho Jitsu and Meditation how to Calm the Mind. In today's dystopian world STRESS for most people is off the charts! Many martial artists are stranded without places to train because non scientific requirements of sellout politicians, restricting the world, destroying lives, and killing people for a payday from who know who.

This makes martial arts, Kyusho Jitsu and Meditation more important today than ever before. 

So lets take a look at why, and exact what the benefits are to the student. 

Kyusho Jitsu and Meditation - the problem

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

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

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

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

Kyusho Jitsu and Meditation - the benefits

brain - Kyusho Jitsu and Meditation

The benefits to meditation are many. Let's talk about this solution to the way people feel and their health for a few minutes now. 

Martial Art's training which was once very complete, is now very incomplete. Most of what is taught today is simply sport. 

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

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

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

Kyusho Jitsu and Meditation - Benefits

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

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

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

What about Kyusho Jitsu?

Pressure Points on the Body

Kyusho Jitsu and Meditation. How does Kyusho Jitsu fit in? As I have stated numerous times Kyusho Jitsu is not a martial art, it is a system. It exists within every martial art, but the information and training is lacking.

Therefore as I teaching Kyusho Jitsu it is an intellectual learning, designed to be worked back into the physical art form or system!

And thus the idea of a body-mind connection. Martial arts training is about Body - Mind and Spirit, meditation being the spiritual. 

Kyusho Jitsu and Meditation - Meditation Training

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

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

Kyusho Jitsu and Meditation in Conclusion

Kyusho Article CONCLUSION

The most important thing is really learning techniques of meditation and finding what works best for you.

Then being persistent and patient. Nothing in life that is worthwhile happens fast. 

The results of meditation have proven themselves over the centuries. 

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

Death of the Western Culture

* Death of the Western Culture

Death of the Western Culture is not a article about Kyusho Jitsu or any other martial art topic. This is simply on opinion piece, and editorial if you will. 

I will link many different sources including my own. But today in sadness I want to discuss the Death of the Western Culture. How and why it is happening now, and the reality that nothing can reverse this process. 

"When criminal activity is accepted by a society, that society no longer exists." The west today now not only accepts criminal activity by government and corporations as normal, but even do their very best to defend those involved. I won't name names because you already know them.

We went from no tolerance of criminal activity (the rule of law) to a full blow hatred of one man, a hatred so deep electing a pedophile is better, as long as he [Trump] loses and we get our way.

It does not matter the amount of property damage, the number of people including children murdered in the streets, as long as this man is GONE.

Yet NO ONE can factual show anything he has done wrong or bad for the country since election with PROOF.  

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

Mental Illness of the Masses

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

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

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

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

Weakness is now Virtue

Virtue Signalling

Another sign of the death of the western culture is how weakness is considered virtuous. And liars are considered the most virtuous. 

You see non stop propaganda today, and in reality for about 20 years now, telling people they are "good enough" the way they are.

What a pile of crap!

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

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

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

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

Non Stop Lies

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

History has lessons no one wants to learn!

Today those with serious mental illness run the streets destroying anything historical in nature it as racist.

And people believe this! Yet they refuse to see unlearn lessons are repeating today almost verbatim! 

* Death of the Western Culture

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

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

Let's look at a few example from history

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

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

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

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

In Conclusion

Today those with serious mental illness run the streets destroying anything historical label it as racist. And people believe this! Yet they refuse to see unlearn lessons are repeating today almost verbatim! Each day we get closer to the end of, the death of the western culture as communism becomes reality.  CONCLUSION

I write this most for myself, to get my thoughts out of my head and move on. Some will say "if you do not like it then leave."

And that is exactly what I did! And I am no longer a citizen! And do things that really do have a positive impact on the world. You cannot help those who do not want help.

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

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

Kyusho Joint Locks Octagon. How to cause Devastating Pain

* Kyusho Joint Locks Octagon

Kyusho Joint Locks Octagon: Joints in the body are a wonderful thing, until they stop working or cause pain! I remember the days when I addressed my knees as "right" or "left." Today they are referred to as "bad" knee or "worse" knee. But today I am going to talk about 3 terms together! Kyusho Joint Locks Octagon, how they related, and how combining them makes everything more effective!

Kyusho Joint Locks Octagon - Kyusho Jitsu

Let's begin with the pressure point or Kyusho Jitsu relationship to a Joint Lock. I have linked you back to another article on Kyusho Jitsu Joint Locks. This will give you a more complete view.

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

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

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

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

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

Kyusho Joint Locks Octagon - Octagon

Secrets of the Octagon

I won't go deep into the Joint Lock in this Kyusho Joint Locks Octagon article because I have linked one article specifically for you above. However we will discuss Octagon in some details!

Martial arts is taught for the most part in a linear fashion. Back and forth. That is fine when teaching beginners, but this movement must evolve!

The issue is that the evolution is to ring control, the circling you see boxers to.

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

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

Kyusho Joint Locks Octagon in Conclusion

Kyusho Article CONCLUSION

I am hoping this article helps you see that there is always more to learn in the martial arts. This information has been rarely taught in the modern era.

There are many reasons, but that does not mean it needs to still remain hidden. This is the art of Kosho Shorei Ryu

Learn this information and teach it! Let's keep this all alive! Thank you for reading Kyusho Joint Locks Octagon.

Kyusho Hapkido Octagon. How to blend martial arts styles.

( Kyusho Hapkido Octagon

How does Kyusho Hapkido Octagon all work together to form one martial art system? How did this happen, and more importantly WHY did it happen?

Let's take a look at the martial art I ended up founding, and the reasons why it happened to begin with. 

Kyusho Hapkido Octagon - Hapkido

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


Can you find me in the picture?

* Kyusho Jitsu Winter Season

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

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

Kyusho Hapkido Octagon - Octagon

Secrets of the Octagon

Part two of the is the Natural Laws of Motion, AKA the Octagon.

In approximately October of 2000 I began my Octagon training with a Kempo Grand Master by the name of Richard Buchan from the Toronto area.

Today I do not believe GM Buchan is still teaching, which is why I make the claim to be the only person currently still teaching the laws of the Octagon. I could be wrong, but I have not no found anyone else doing these teachings. 

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

Kyusho Hapkido Octagon - Kyusho

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

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

Kyusho Hapkido Octagon in Conclusion

Kyusho Hapkido Octagon CONCLUSION

The reason for the creation of my own systems was seeing the shortfalls and missing aspects of my original root art.

It took me 22 years to found the art, which is self defense based and has no sport aspects at all!

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