I have been stating for a long time now that the martial arts taught today, for the most part are impotent. The removal of deadly techniques was done for 2 reasons. The first was SPORT. Sport began in the martial arts at the beginning of the 20th century.
And no one will enter a competition, at least if in their right mind, to get killed.
And my objection to sport is not that it exists, but that it becomes an obsession. I have people request rank from me based on winning championships and trophies..
And yet these same people will complain about children being ranked. Sorry I give sport about 5% importance in the martial art picture
Removal of Deadly Techniques
Second was because of the teaching of children. And I agree fully, children need the martial arts, but we do not need to teach them deadly techniques. And Kyusho Jitsu / Dim Mak has some very deadly teachings within them.
The removal of deadly techniques can be reversed very simply. Martial Artists need to realize that the learning process never ends. And in order to do they must put their egos aside and seek more knowledge. I offer a plethora of FREE Kyusho Jitsu Courses. As well as this blog here at Kyusho Jitsu World being a wealth of information. Literally hundreds of articles.
I am still learning today, after almost 40 years. And my pride lies in the truth that I do know everything. Each day to learn something new and look to share that knowledge. And the learning comes at a high cost to me. But I give learning a high importance in my life.
In Conclusion
And while I fully agree that peace is very important. And to my way of thinking "escape" is the highest form of any martial art we must still learn the deadly techniques. Why?
Because this is what can make ourselves and our loved ones safe. Change favors the prepared mind.
And excluding things in training because they challenge us or our way of thinking is a mistake.
Pressure Points is a fascinating study. And I believe every martial artist should pursue it!
