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.

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...
