Kyusho Jitsu Experience Levels

His knowledge of human anatomy was incredible! In later years he also became of Doctor of Acupuncture. He encouraged me in all aspects, Recently he sent me a message saying he was very proud of what I am doing here. 

His methods of teaching and enthusiasm rubbed off on me. So I have tailored my programs to teach both sides.

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

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

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

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 - 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!

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?

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.

Attacked Tonight on the Way Home in Conclusion

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.

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

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

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. 

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

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

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. 

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!

Below is a short video linking the Yin-Yang Principle to Body Mechanics

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!

Below is a short video linking the Kyusho Jitsu Yin-Yang Principle to Body Mechanics

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.

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

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!

Today it is more about how much money you can win in the MMA/UFC circuits, how famous you can become and who's face you can punch in.

Sadly in much of the martial arts world today ego rules! But for the real martial arts students, and we are all students regardless of rank, it is about learning, developing and a strong code of ethics. 

So what is a Kyusho Jitsu Mindset?

The Kyusho Jitsu Mindset - Learning

The first part of this mindset is being eager to learn! Now I see a lot of this at first in the study. But over time this can dwindle off. Do people lack motivation these days?

Yes that is certainly part of it! Also many students want an instant result, without putting in the time and effort. Sorry life does not work like that! It never has! And no matter who says the opposite, they are just plain wrong.

There can never be a world with equality of outcome. All that idea does is promote laziness, shiftlessness and a broken society. So put that garbage from your head!  It is a lie told to you by the corrupt! [Politicians]

Life needs to have meaning, and meaning comes from getting off your butt and doing something.

OK, now it is well known that Kyusho Jitsu in already present, or part of every traditional martial arts system. It was just excluded from the teaching of many of the masters of old! The reason can be many! Perhaps it is because of WWII, or even that the Asian cultures just never liked the behavior of the Western Martial Arts mentality. 

Kyusho Jitsu Mindset - Self Development

Martial arts training and Kyusho Jitsu study is a journey of the "self." It is the most selfish of endeavors! Now also as part of learning, self development requires you put your ego aside, admit you don't do not know anything about anything, and open your mind for learning! Without that you will fail, and you will fail at just about every aspect of life too! 

"The only true wisdom is know you know nothing." Socrates

Kyusho Jitsu Mindset - Ethics

Next we must all have a code to live by. Grand Master Joon Rhee was famous for saying that "martial arts without a code of ethics is brutality." And this is another GREAT truth! 

There cannot be a mindset of "trolling" like we see so often! The Bullshido people make me think of this! I know many martial artists love there work, but why?

Do you really need some group to tell you how to think? And that is what they are trying to do! They are an insult to the intelligence of every martial artist in the world. There mission is to show you how much they "think" they know, and how stupid you are and that YOU need them!

"This is "bull" that is "fake" and we know because this is our opinion!"

Do you see a problem with this alleged way of thinking? I don't need any group of self appointed experts in ANY field in life who think it is their job to ridicule what people do, or tell them what to think!

This is a major reason society is the mess it is! Media like Facebook and CNN telling people what their opinions and thoughts should be! Pathetic really. Whenever I see this kink of behavior I know the company in question lacks "ethics". Facebook is a prime example as now the truth of what they are doing is coming out. Yet they, and CNN are 2 of the best finger pointers in the industry!

Below is the traditional pattern Chon Ji from the International Tae Kwon Do Federation. Basic Kata with several Down or Low Blocks.

Kyusho Jitsu Down Block

As you can also see when the interpretation is done correctly there is no wasted motion! Now this is only one Kyusho Jitsu Down Block interpretation. 

What is the basis for interpretation?

First you need to understand that Kata is not a performance or a dance. This is a modern day idea used because of how sport oriented the martial arts have become. In their true form Kata is a representation of "battle" with many, most of the techniques within being "DEADLY."

You also need to understand the anatomy of an attack. There are ONLY 3 attacks possible and it is the escalation level that is different. 

Beyond that the weapon used is what changes. These are as follows.

Thank you for taking the time to read!

Have a great day!

2) Attack Using the Cycle of Destruction - This is one of the cornerstones of Kyusho Jitsu understanding and success. It helps the student to understand where to strike, and with which "tool." Here is a link to an article specifically on the Cycle of Destruction.

3) Attack Using Yin and Yang - This is a complex principle that center around the idea of striking to complete the Yin and Yang theory of attack. You can find some excellent information on this theory here!

4) Attack Using Correct Body Mechanics - This is one of my favorite principles. It is all about centering and controlling the attacker keeping him or her in your area of power. 

5) Attack Using Tempo - There is an old saying that if you can dance, you can fight! This is a look at the role of tempo in self defense. 

The 5 Advanced Principles of Kyusho Jitsu

Today teachers and teaching systems use "shortcuts" to get the job done. Like in my former home province of Ontario Canada they no longer teach "cursive" writing to children.

Why? Safe money is my guess. However "cursive" writing helps develop the child's brain and this is PROVEN. Just like the 15 Principles Of Kyusho Jitsu assure the development of the Kyusho student. No matter what ANYONE says!

And time has proven their value! Once these are internalized you really no longer think about them.  Why? Because this is how the brain works!

Question, how much time have you spent learning these principles? I am going to offer you 2 FREE videos (one when you leave and the other below) to become proficient with Kyusho. Will you download the videos and watch them? Or are you a person of non action? Comment here!
