The Ultimate Technique



Is there such a thing as the Ultimate Technique?

In the original Karate Kid, Mr. Miyagi said, "Best block, no be there."

So if this is true...then the best technique is one were you don't do one:-)

For me, part of this concept / statement is missing.

Each situation can determine the best technique for that situation.  So, no...there is no ultimate technique.  That does not mean that you do not train for different situations.

Awhile ago I wrote about How Many Do you Need?  where we talked about how many techniques one should keep in their arsenal.

Something to think about...the situation will determine the technique...not the other way around.  The amount of force used to defend oneself has to be proportional to the threat involved.

With regards to Law Enforcement and the Military.  There is an ultimate sacrifice whereby they give their life in the line of duty.  In this case...the word Ultimate is proper.

There is no ultimate technique.  There are great ways to train to learn how to respond to the best of your ability given the situation.

For me...training in Kyusho and understanding Dynamic Body Movement, Pressure Point Grappling & Striking, I have the best way to develop these skills.

My question for you today is...How is your training helping you achieve these goals?

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

Is Knowledge Power?

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

Hey!...Its on sale!!

Image
We all like something on sale!  Who doesn't? What is more important...the price or the VALUE? Price is something we pay for a product or service. VALUE is what we get, or more importantly...the perception of what we get for a given price. We all have different perceptions of value.  Price is price...nothing to perceive here...just the exchange for pieces of paper with famous dead people on them. For me personally...price is secondary to the VALUE I will get if I decide to purchase that product or service. So here is my question for you today...What drives your purchase of things...price or VALUE?  Only you can answer that. Until next time KO your obstacles by keeping it simple, keeping it safe, and train with PinPoint™ accuracy.   Mark Kline is a short, bald, professional martial artist from NJ.  He is the architect of the PinPoint™ Method of Pressure Point Education for Martial Arts which is hosted by the Kyusho Institute.  He has tho

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 after a new leadership team had taken over.  This did not happen just because they are great at
