Drugs and Training


What if I can tell you that you can harness the power of drugs to help you train to greater heights?

Now I am not talking about the illegal kind.  Not at all.

I am talking about the pharmacy that exists within your body and how to harness those chemicals.  

Remember the first time you were scared?  For some this is a paralyzing experience...and one that can be very dangerous to you.  For others...they were invigorated by the surge of adrenaline.

There are several ways that this can be trained.

One way, of course, is scenario training.  You first slowly learn the techniques.  Then you practice them at varying speeds against different people.  When you are ready, the training gets a little more realistic.  This all depends on your instructor, but no one should get permanently injured while learning.  

There are some systems that allow you to attack a very heavily padded man.  This is not my preferred method, and I can see the validity of this type of training.  This allows someone to really bring that animal survival instinct out which is important. It does not help you remain calm though. In order to truly be at your best, you must stay composed and focused. 

Other training methods involve both participants padded up and they can go after each other with mainly strikes since the padding is not really suited for grappling.

There is also strictly scenario based training in regular training attire.  The speed and severity of the attacks increase over time as each participants starts to develop good techniques.  I personally prefer this method of training because your attacker will not really be wearing all the gear unless you are attacked by a swat team and I doubt you will be defending yourself in a real situation while wearing some kind of protective gear on your head and hands...unless of course you ride a motorcycle on a regular basis.

IMO, after the physical techniques and scenarios are learned, you have to begin visualizing the attack and defense, but really put yourself into the situation...in your mind.  Since the mind does not know the difference between real and imagined, you can train your body and mind to experience the flight / fight response by turning if off and turning it on.  By doing so, you will prepare both your mind and body.  This is not in place of regular physical training...this is in addition to.

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

Conservative Kyusho vs. Liberal Kyusho

          As the world knows...today is the Inauguration of President Donald Trump.  Whether you like it or not, he will be the 45th President of the United States.      This blog post is not about the Inauguration, but rather Conservative vs. Liberalism within the Kyusho World.      In the Liberal Kyusho world, there are those who give you everything that you ask for, without looking at the bigger picture...Long Term Success in Learning Kyusho.      They over-complicate the learning process by throwing so much at you that you can never learn the finer points and details.      Liberalism focus's on change and reform.  I don't have a problem with that.  When your training or teaching in a complicated manner, the chances of success go down.  Fill your head with too much crap...all you do is slow down the learning process Big Time! ...

Innovation

          Why is it that the light bulb is associated with creativity or a new idea?  For starters, when we turn on the light...we can now see what was right in front of us...but for some reason...was not very clear.  Secondly, the light bulb also signifies the illumination of the mind through intellectual or spiritual enlightenment.      There are many ways to innovate.   Innovation can be in the form of the verbiage you use in, for example, a restaurant, "Do you want fries with that?"        One particular restaurant started using that phrase about 20 years ago and it has made them millions of $ in their coffers and put millions of pounds of fat on their clientele.  The phrase was innovative...the result...no so much...but we are only talking about innovation here:-)      I recently heard a story about Franchise that had grown its membership by 50% in just 7 months a...

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...
