Feeling the Pressure


 Awhile back we had spoken about our B-IQ™.

Some of you might not know this, but I trained with Professor Wally Jay for over 15 years.  One of his 10 principles of Small Circle Jujitsu is Sticking, Control, and Sensitivity and is an integral part of understanding your B-IQ™.

In order to develop good sensitivity, one much train repetitively.  Part of having great technique is having a great understanding of body movement, not just your own, but that of different opponents of different shapes and sizes.

When I first started training in Kyusho, each weekend, a friend and I, Eric Greenfedder would get together and practice only 2-3 techniques over and over again until we could disect it from many different angles.  Not only did this give us a great feel for the technique...it gave us a great feel for an opponent and how they would react from many different angles.

Knowing when and when not to execute a technique is vitally important to obtaining the upper hand in an encounter.

This is what I mean by "Feeling the Pressure." 

My wrestling coach told me many moons ago that the best techniques are the ones that look effortless.  We develop, through proper practice, this feeling, this level of awareness that your body will start to react before you are consciously aware of what you are doing.

This is a big part of your B-IQ™

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...
