Have you touched a nerve?


I know I said I was going to write more on B-IQ™, but wanted to t address something equally as important first.

A big part of Kyusho is touching points on the body that directly affects the nervous system.  Each movement, no matter how slight, sends a message to the various plexi (a network of nerves and/or vessels in the body).  This is enabled the complex inner workings of the body, but facilitated by simple martial arts movements.

Many of these simple martial arts movements are found in Kata.  There are some that have not yet discovered the complexity that is hidden in the basic movements of Kata...yet.  Each movement, contains information...information that the body can read as just a strike that has attacked the outside of the body...while still sending messages inward (mild to blunt force trauma), to movements that are direct attacks on nervous system where messages are immediately sent internally causing the body to shut down in order to protect itself.

There are some who say that martial arts movements do not attack pressure points.  Kyusho literally means "Good Point."  IMO this is because the good point, coupled with the proper touch is something that directly attacks the nervous system.  The key words are "proper touch."

Developing the proper touch does not take years as some would have you believe.  This can be achieved in a short, focused period of time.  This way one can focus on perfection of technique...this does take time and is one reason that we continue to practice and perfect our craft called Kyusho.

Sometimes the act of touching a nerve is just by pointing out that Kyusho is very simple.  There is a simple exterior that wraps and protects a more complex core.  This is why Kyusho is simple to learn and takes time to perfect.

Basics are the core of everything.  Without them...Advanced material cannot exist.

Until next time KO your obstacles by keeping it simple, keeping it safe, and train with PinPoint™ accuracy.
