Kyusho Jitsu Canada Blog

Knockouts can be very frustrating for many Kyusho practitioners. This happens because they do not yet understand and apply the principles required to make these KO’s happen. As I have written before there are different types of knockouts. In pressure point study we are looking at the neurological knockout, not the blunt trauma knockout. Anyone can cause a blunt trauma KO.

To get a pressure point knockout requires you understand the principles that come into play, as well as have a good knowledge of the different pressure points on the body. This is what I am looking at doing, with this new course that I am considering adding to our services. Teaching people with pressure point knowledge to do these KO’s safely and effectively.

Take a look at this video, which is a simple Alarm Point activation knockout. After the video I will explain what has happened.

Now this techniques begins with a double lapel grab. Being that Hapkido is my root art, we deal with these kinds of situations often.  During this type of grab the attacker and the defender are exchanging energy because of the contact.  Let’s look at all the things that are happening here.

First, in this grab my Uki has his hand touching my lung meridian, at LU-01 specifically.  We are both standing in a small forward bo, or a fire stance. I now have fire and metal applied, the metal is because he is touching my LU-01, the fire from my stance and his.

I now strike Alarm Point ST-25, which is the Alarm Point for Large Intestine.  When I strike an alarm point I activate the meridian on both sides of the body, as well as Triple Warmer on both side of the body. But because I am striking ST-25 bi-laterally, I activate the Stomach Meridian bi-laterally also.! Now you should see Fire, Medal and Earth.

Next I strike LI-10 on the arm, hitting both sides of the body. Large Intestine is already activated  from the Alarm Point hit! Now I drive the energy towards me, loosening the hands and causing the knees to buckle, the head to come forward. I move up to Gall Bladder on the head for some Wood Element and then ST-05 for the KO.

What principles have I employed?

• Cycle of Destruction
• Attack along the Meridian
• Attack using Alarm Points
• Attack using the Diurnal Cycle.
• Attack with tempo
• Attack with correct body mechanics

See because all the above were employed the KO was easy to accomplish. I must also add INTENT to the list of reason for success. Without intent you will not be successful….ever!

Now please take a look at this POST and give us your opinion on the POLL at the bottom. Your voting will help determine if this course becomes a reality.

This was an idea that came to me the other day. If I had a course, that taught Knockouts, how many people would be interested? The idea is relatively simple.  Like the online course you sign up and pay a monthly tuition. You would receive videos and support on doing knockout as demonstrations for your students, classes etc.

Perhaps call it should be called a coaching group? It would be for people with pressure point knowledge, not beginners to the system. I would not be teaching principles, just a hit here and there using this stance etc.  Same I could critique your ideas and help with problems.

This is just a rough outline, more information will become available as time goes on. Please take the poll below to give me some idea of the interest for this course!

Learning something like Kyusho can be a challenge. Especially in the novice year of study there is so much information that must be memorized and understood. I can recall my first year of study very well! I had notes upon notes upon notes.

After a few years of compiling notes I sat down and rewrote everything into one book. My students refer to it as the holy book of kyusho. We joke about me leaving it in my will to the best kyusho student in the school. It is a nice book, leather bound with gold leaf paper. It contains pretty much everything I have learned plus many things I figured out for myself.

This book was were our Novice Pressure Point Workbook and our Advanced Pressure Point Wookbook came from.  Both book have received rave reviews from martial artist all over the world!

But this also caused me to become interested in making learning the pressure point system much more student friendly. So we have designed some great new study aids, with more on the table coming soon!

So now we have several different products, the first was the Kyusho Essential Study Chart. This one is indispensable for any Kyusho Student, beginner or advanced. The next are the Meridian Charts, mapping out the path of the merdians and the points. All sell in PDF format for easy printing.

Currently in the works are some aids for advanced students, these will include the Diural Cycle and Alarm Points. Keep your eyes on this blog for more information as it comes available.

What are the advantage to hosting a pressure point seminar at your club, Dojo or martial art studio/school? Well first, it is a great way to motivate your adult students! One of the challenges school owner have is keeping things fresh and keeping the motivation levels of their students high!

The file is archived in RAR format and plays as an MPG file. The download is about 2.0 gig, but the quality of the video is well worth the download time.

Last night I did a ‘pre-college’ which was recorded for promotional reasons. Now to me the study of pressure points goes far beyond the idea of a simple knockout. While I have done hundreds of knockouts over time, I rarely ever use them as the focus for the study.

Last night we focused on using one of the Principle of Kyusho to become effective. That principle was the Cycle of Destruction. However at the end of the class I did a very simple knockout on leg point Spleen 11 to show power of these principles. Below is that video.

If you have any questions please post them in the comment section and I will be happy to answer them as time permits. Also if you would like more information on our Pressure Point products and courses follow this link.
