Using Pressure Points in Real Life

Using pressure points in real life situations, is it possible? Of course it is! The sad thing about the pressure point systems, all of them, is they are often misunderstood or misrepresented! We practice pressure points a certain way for the safety of the Uki and to optimize learning. Would I lightly tap ST-05 on the street? No I would hit it for all it was worth, cause the jaw to break and likely also cause brain trauma. But hard to get training partners when you do this. So to prefect the "technique" we train differently, but application is always different. There are several self appointed "watch dog" groups on the Internet that tell their group of followers how FAKE this is or that is BULLSHIT etc, etc. Yippy.......When dealing with proper pressure point training we are deal with nerve clusters, organs and the human head. A hard shot to GB-25 wil cause kidney damage from the impact alone! Anyone at bullshido like to feel a full power shot to the kidneys? No wait you are likely dumb enough to want to so I will pass. Don't need lawsuits when you lose a kidney. Enough of the rant, take a look at the vidoe and keep in mind this is LEARNING not street application! Comment are welcome!

The Truth About No Touch Knockouts

For some reason the no touch knockout of Kyusho Jitsu has become very controversial and really I am not sure why. Like brick or board breaking it is simply a demonstration. In no way does it relate to real life of real combat! And from what I can see doing these myself it never will. The purpose of the no touch is simply to teach a person the control of body energy and show the potential of the human mind. Just as I have never been attacked by a pine board I will never use this to touch in real life. Who can it be done to? Well anyone who has an open mind or no opinion of it. If you don't think it can be done to you then you are right it cannot be! Below is a video sample of one such knockout and a link for anyone interested in learning more of this eclectic part of the pressure point system.So before you pain it or knock it, try putting your ego aside and learn something. Martial Artists are supposed to be egoless but in fact are some of the most egotistical people I know. No Touch Knockout Theory

How is a leg knockout possible?

lung-meridian-pressure-point-diagram-bigHow is a leg knockout possible? It just makes no sense! Well if you take a look at the reasons behind it, it makes perfect sense. Have you ever known anyone who fainted at the sight of a needle? Or from bad news? Well the principle is still the same. The idea behind a pressure point or neurological knockout is the confuse the brain so it shuts down and restarts. Pressure Points strikes are to put it very simply nerve strikes with some science and research behind them to optimize effect. As an example if you hit GB-20 correctly the person WILL pass out. This is to protect the spinal column at the skull. In the video below I am using a front kick to SP-11 which causes the uki to pass out. The nerve at this point in the leg when struck releases the hip joint and the knee or should I say the muscles related to them. It is a fantastic hit because on larger people can cause the leg to break, fight over! In this case I have confused the brain enough with the setup to cause the person to pass out. The kick is soft. In the real world I would deliver this kick with all I had. Take a good look at the video below and feel free to ask any questions in the comment section. I will do my best to answer them ASAP.
