Fire in the Belly

This is something many are not familiar with. Issues in the large intestine manifest as a burning sensation. Often times because of the proximity of the organ and the way the pain radiates people think they are having a heart attack. 

So why does this matter? Because in the Western Culture most people's diet are horrendous! This results in not only weak of the stomach but also the small intestine. Therefore understanding all the pressure points on the Small Intestine Meridian is important. Many of the pressure points are highly dangerous. But when organ issues are considered, makes all small intestine strikes worth learning and using.

Pericardium Meridian

First lets take a look at the EPS of Pericardium. Pericardium is also known as Heart 2, and I will use both references for it. The pericardium is the sack that surrounds and protects the heart organ itself. 

Heart 2 begins at the outer aspect of the nipple and down the center of the Yin side or inner aspect of the arm. And terminates at the end of the middle finger. 

The EPS of the Pericardium Meridian is as follows. I am providing a lot of links to other articles in the article to make sure that everything is very clear to you. 

• Element - Fire
• Polarity - Yin
• Striking Action - Slapping
• Time of Day - 20:00 to 21:00
• Colours - Red and Red
• Sound - Hee
• Stance - Forward Bo 
• Number of Points - 9

Important Pressure Points on Pericardium Meridian

Here are some of the very important pressure points found on the Pericardium Meridian. Each pressure point will have a link to articles with detailed information. 

• Pericardium - PC-06
• Pressure Point PC-02

The first in the list, PC-06 is one of my personal favorite pressure points on the body. This pressure point is a very important pressure point for doing Kyusho Setup. PC-06 also falls into some other categories of special pressure points listed below.

• Collateral Pressure Point
• Confluent Pressure Point

The above are extremely important types of pressure points and I encourage you to read both articles when you can. 

Pressure Point PC-02 is another very important pressure point on the Pericardium Meridian. It is a crippling pressure point when hit hard and does have the potential to be lethal.

Pericardium Meridian In Conclusion

In our world today people want instant results and gratification. That is now, and always has been the road to failure. If you are new to the study of Kyusho Jitsu please checkout my Free 10 Lesson Kyusho Mini Course.

The Heart Meridian we will discuss, is the primary meridian of the heart energy system. Heart 2 which is better known in Kyusho Jitsu terms is Pericardium Meridian is the second of the 2 meridians. I will go over this meridian in a later article. 

Heart 1 begins in the armpit and travels down the inner or YIN aspect of the arm and terminates at the end of the pinky finger. You can see the path clearly in the illustration.

Heart Meridian EPS

The EPS of the meridian is as follows. I am providing a lot of links to other articles in the article to make sure that everything is very clear to you. 

• Element - Fire
• Polarity - Yin
• Striking Action - Slapping
• Time of Day - 11:00 to 13:00
• Colours - Red and Red
• Sound - Ki
• Stance - Neutral Bo 
• Number of Points - 9

The energy is leaving the body in the Heart Meridian. This ties into the 24 Hour Diurnal Cycle.

Important Pressure Points on the Heart Meridian

There are several very important pressure points on the meridian when it comes to the destructive side known as Kyusho Jitsu. Healing aspects are much more involved. I have a course on Pressure Point healing, and also a book on the 5 Element Theory if you would like more information. 

Here is a listing of the 3 Heart Pressure Points I consider to be the most powerful and important in the study of pressure points.

1. Pressure Point HT-01
2. New Article on Pressure Point HT-02
3. HT-03

And once again I am providing links to detailed articles on these pressure points. At a later date I will write an article on HT-02 and link it back here.

The effects of striking a pressure point on the Heart Meridian will vary. Often times students believe that there will be an immediate and direct effect on the heart, however this is much more involved that it appears. One thing to remember is the 12 meridians of the body are a circulatory system like blood flow. And the health of the body comes from this system being in balance. 

If the system becomes out of balance with a strike there can be immediate results like a knockout, sever pain and the inability to use the part of the body struck. An expert can cause delayed results like with Dim Mak.

Pressure Point HT-01

HT-01 is one of the most dangerous pressure points on the body and even a medium strike can result in death, especially on the left side of the body. The point is right over the top of the “axillary” artery and therefore great artery damage is done when this point is struck.

A light strike can result in issues with the brain due to loss of blood flow. Emotional issues can also appear. I cannot stress enough not to play with this pressure point unless it is a life or death situation! Applying gentle pressure to the area can release a “frozen shoulder.” You can read more about Pressure Point HT-01 here.  More Top 5 Dim Mak Pressure Points below!

Pressure Point SI-16

Sometimes this pressure point is used in knockout demonstrations, but this is fool-hearty as death can result.

Save this pressure point for life and death situations! You can learn more about Pressure Point SI-16 from this article on the Top 5 Dim Mak Pressure Points.

Pressure Point ST-09

The blood pressure will drop quickly causing a "vascular faint” or knockout. This can be accomplished with a low to medium strike.

A harder strike can cause serious damage to the nervous and arterial systems of the area which will result in death. ST-09 is also a Dim Mak point because an energy strike to this part of the system, both nervous and vascular, will cause enough "dysfunction" to result in death over time.

Carotid Sinus Reflex:

The serious martial artist should be concerned about Carotid Sinus Reflex when it comes to ST-09 and ST-10. The effect is temporary loss of consciousness or a knock out that sometimes accompanies convulsive seizures. This is due to the power of the carotid sinus reflex when pressure builds up in one or both carotid sinuses.

Massage to this areas is used by doctors to reduce heart rate and blood pressure in emergencies. Below read why this is an important Dim Mak Pressure Points.

Citation: Traumatic carotid sinus reflex death

Abstract

"The review of 7 autopsy cases shows, that the diagnosis of a sudden death due to mechanical irritation of the carotid sinus is possible. Therefore when an injury of this reflectogen zone is represented autoptically. And when there are signs of acute cardio vascular failure and other causes of death are out of the question. Taking account of the ascerteinments at the scene as well as observations by witnesses of the death process is important for diagnostic reason.

The proof of the carotid lesion depends on the preparation of neck organs in artificial lack of blood. The histological analysis of stepwise taken slides of the carotid arteries above the bifurcation is informative. Most of all the insurances consider a death due to carotid sinus reflex as an accident; in criminal law this kind of death is regularly linked to strangulation; diagnostic decision criteria are presented."

Here is a link to read more about Pressure Point ST-09. Please be very cautious with one the top 5 Dim Mak Pressure Points.

Pressure Point LV-13

LV-13 is the Alarm Point for Spleen and also an Influential Pressure Point. Here is a link with more information on Pressure Point LV-13. Some great Dim Mak Pressure Points.

But most of all Body Mechanics is far more than just a principle of Kyusho Jitsu. It is one of the most important principles in all of martial arts. And this is the point in which your stances come into play. Martial arts goes from linear to more circular. You are taught stances in a linear fashion, but once you get to the next step you see stances completely differently. ALl this adds up to correct Kyusho Angle And Direction.

Importantly also, when a student does not go beyond this point in learning they quit and say pressure points do not work. This is because standing and fighting does not work, not because pressure points don't work.  You must have correct Kyusho Angle And Direction.

Kyusho Angle And Direction - Octagon movement

My Dojo in Canada, Art Mason's Peaceful Warriors Martial Arts Institute, actively teaching Kosho today and has done so for better than 20 years. It is part of all that we do there. Without correct Kyusho Angle And Direction you will fail in your results.

Kyusho Angle And Direction In Conclusion

This is something I hope to bring to all Kosho students also. There will be information below to learn more about Kosho Ryu if you are interested. And read this new article on the World Budo Alliance website called Kosho and the Wolf.

 Pressure Point GB-10 Location and Effects

Some of the links provided in this section of the article run to the Online Encyclopedia of Kyusho Jitsu. This is a resource all serious Kyusho Jitsu students and instructors need. There is nothing like anywhere else!

Pressure Point GB-10 is posterior and superior to the mastoid process, in the middle of the curved line drawn from GB-09 to GB-11. The point is behind the ear on the squamosal suture which is the joint between the parietal bone and the temporal bone of the skull.

Striking will easily cause a knockout and disrupt motor functions. A hard strike can cause death. This pressure point is deadly mainly because of its location. Pressure Point GB-10 is what is called a brain shock pressure point. This area of the skull is very weak, and because of the angle of the strike can easily cause a concussion. 

This is also what is called a one shot knockout pressure point. Its location behind the ear is out of the line of vision which means that the brain cannot brace itself for the shock of the strike. Therefore a light hit will result in brain dysfunction, or a neurological reboot (knockout). My book Understanding Neurological Pressure Point Knockouts goes into depth on these one shot pressure points and how they work. 

A hard strike can easily cause serious damage to the skull including cracks and breaks. This will cause serious brain trauma, swelling and potential death. Pressure Points tend to be located at weak areas of the body (not always) which is one of many reasons for the predictable results.

Pressure Point GB-10 in Conclusion

This is a good question, however it shows the lack of truth in the Western Culture today. Fitness and heath are not mutually inclusive. But the very corrupt fitness industry tries to conflate the two together. In this question a high level of fitness, muscle mass as an example, can help to disperse the energy from a strike. As an example a strike to the arm at LI-10. 

However this does not mean the organs are healthy. In fact most North America's because of the very unhealthy diets (protein powder in a can is crap) have issues with Large Intestine. Those who obsessively train without proper rest times also have a proclivity to heart issues. 

And the western cultures addiction to pharmaceuticals has devastated many people Livers. Prescription drugs today KILL more Americans than illegal drugs. This is because western medicine is about profit, not health. 

I should write an article on this entire subject really. However a martial artist who has mastered Kyusho Jitsu, and understands how the body works will see the sign of organ issues and attack the proper pressure points. So to answer the question directly. High fitness levels are irrelevant to the effects of pressure point strikes.

Because of the size of the area of activation it is not hard to train to target pressure points. 

And the very best way to do this is too first take the areas you strike within your root art and then look what pressure points are there. This is the best way to begin!

You need pressure point charts to help you do this. I have a set for you FREE. 

Are Pressure Points Real? - Attacking a Pressure Point

There is a specific method to attack a pressure point. This is called Striking Action. Without this knowledge you will not get a very good result. Back in the "old days" martial arts master simply taught the student to "strike correctly." This was all visual learning. If the student did not see what the teacher did, then they failed.

Today I have a very specific intellectual path to success. But it is still, if you want to succeed you have to do the work.
