Making Kyusho Jitsu Work on the Street. What you need to know. I have been studying and teaching Kyusho Jitsu for over 2 decades now. And I love every aspect of Kyusho Jitsu.
There are a lot of "naysayers" out in the wild who will violently proclaim Kyusho Jitsu is a scam and does not work in real life. And they are simply that, naysayers. They are welcome to their closed minded opinions. Their sloth that prevents learning.
And their opinions also are not my business.
Martial Art study in the 20th and 21st century has undergone a transformation. I call this transformation watering down. And this was done to fit what society wanted. As an example when James Mitose was teaching in Hawaii at what he called the "International Self Defense Club" he taught techniques, not Kosho Ryu. And you will find that this is true for many of the masters of old. But only if you study the history of the martial arts.
Making Kyusho Jitsu Work on the Street
Making Kyusho Jitsu Work on the Street is the topic of this article, and linked to the relationship of what happened to the teachings of the arts. Pressure Points exist in all martial arts. If you strike the body they MUST also be struck. When you strike a body you will always hit a pressure point. With over 361 on each side of the body it is impossible not to hit one.
However their teaching as been left out of the equation for decades. In my book the Complete Kyusho Jitsu Learning Guide from A to Z I address this issue of missing teachings. I suggest getting a copy.
Today Kyusho Jitsu can be found in many places. And there are many teachers out there doing a great job of teaching the art. But there is something missing. Kyusho is an intellectual pursuit. And some of the demonstrations are excellent!
However the problem lies with application to the streets. And while I have addressed this in the past. I have been reluctant to get into this fully. The reason? Martial Artists have very fragile egos and are many times not interested in expanding their knowledge.
So, how do we change this to make Kyusho Jitsu truly effective on the street?
Making Kyusho Jitsu Work on the Street - Steps
The first step is to realize sport martial arts will not give you what you need. It has its place, but that place is a ring, not the streets. Next comes an understanding that you have learned what is called a "reactionary" martial art. And that is a good thing! However the problem is that the masters of old taught WRONG on purpose, and never evolved the teachings from there. As I stated about Mitose Sensei taught techniques in Hawaii, not Kosho. This is the same thing.
You need to take your "reactionary first" system to a "preparatory" martial art first and reactionary second system. And one of the 1st principles of Kyusho Jitsu is Body Mechanics. Therefore the best answer to the issue is to learn Kosho Ryu and integrate it into everything you do. And Kosho is all about Body Mechanics, the natural laws of movement. ANd this is what makes Making Kyusho Jitsu Work on the Street!
Making Kyusho Jitsu Work on the Street - In Conclusion
The real purpose of study in the arts is to continue learning. The students I have taught in my Dojo years back found Kyusho Jitsu very easy to apply.
And this is because they study Kosho Ru from the beginning of their training because it is part of my root art .
If you want to take your martial art training to a NEW level I will give you some great options below! Making Kyusho Jitsu Work on the Street is something we all need to pursue!
