Integration


One question that I always get when discussing the topic of Kyusho (Pressure Point fighting/self defense) is this...How can I add this into what I am already doing?

That is a great question that is easily answered and through the teaching methodology of the Kyusho Institute, becoming much easier to implement than ever before!

Movement is movement.  There are only so many ways to move the body and a good understanding of body movement is vitally important in any physical endeavor.  This is what I have referred to in past posts as your Bio Intelligence (B-IQ™).

So...how do we do this in as simple a manner as possible?

1. Start with as simple a movement as possible.
2. Breakdown the movement by looking at it from the ground up (footwork, hand techniques, body positioning, etc.)
3. If you are using the PinPoint™ Method as your Kyusho learning tool, great...then just follow the drills as they will lead you directly to specific points that you can quickly learn and remember.

or

4. If you are new to Kyusho, you can find plenty of books and charts online that can help you find where the points are, but targeting may be an issue because these books and charts only give you info about the points....not how to get to them on the move.

then

5. Focus on 1 movement at a time...for example....the initial push or punch...find the points that are the closest and easiest to access the fastest, to shut down the attacking arm of the opponent.
6. Watch and mentally record the opponent's reaction to correctly striking the point.
7. See what follow up points are available on the head, body, or legs to use as a follow up.

You are always on the points.  It is your awareness of what you are touching and how (what we refer to in the Kyusho Institute as PinPoint Force Mulitpliers™) that can make all the difference.

Try this checklist and please let me know how it works for you and how this process can be improved.

Our goal at the Kyusho Institute is to help you learn faster, retain more information, and be able to execute these technique quickly.  This process does not have to take a long time.  It is how we deliver this to you that makes integration in ANY martial art easy.

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

Choices

Image
We make choices each and every day in every thing we do. Think about it for a second... Just the fact that you may or may not have stopped to thin about it...was a choice. You also made a choice to read this blog now, push it off until later, or scroll right on by and not read it at all.  All of these are choices. Choices are basically questions we ask ourselves.  For example..."What should I have for breakfast?  Should I cook something or just pick something up on the way to work?"   Every second of every day we make choices for everything...even whether or not we finish reading this blog.  Hell!  Just me making the decision to write on this topic...was a choice. So lets look at how choices affect our decision making with regards to self defense situations.   The first choice happens before the altercation even starts...I mean waaaay before and this is with regards to training.   Giving someone too many options can ultimately cause t

Is Knowledge Power?

Image
In most cases, Knowledge is Power. When it comes to the martial arts...if you are teaching...then yes...Knowledge is Power or else no one would seek you out...BUT...Knowledge of what? If all one can do is dazzle someone with their BS, well...then the students, and the instructor for that matter...would have a false sense of security should they ever have to test their skills in a real confrontation. This is a case where Knowledge is being used to impress people...not to impress upon them the need to get on the mat and train. The key...IMO...is to train to reaction and response...and when I say this, I mean to do all of the above while understanding the nature of the threat level of the attack as well. There are times to just extricate yourself from the situation and there are times when the only way out to incapacitate the attacker, quickly. I have said this before...theory has its place. The important next part is to train the principles so that you so not ha

Rocks in your feed bag?

Image
Growing up my parents had a friend from Ohio that they had met in Barbados.  He would keep all of us entertained all day as we hung out at the pool with him and his wife and then the whole family would go to room 105 for drinks and canned cheese and crackers. Uncle Wil would tell us story after story about him growing up and the trouble he got in growing up during the depression.  He kept us in stitches and to this day, when someone in the family starts part of one of his sayings...someone else is sure to finish it. "What's the matter Wilbur (Uncle Wil)? Got rocks in your feedbag?" I guess this was the depression era equivalent of asking someone if they have just have too much clutter in their attic So what does this have to do with Kyusho and martial arts training in general? There are many different ways to train martial arts...as you already know.  When I first started on this journey, and I have spoken about this in the past...there were many in ou
