What the hell are you thinking?

    

To be really fluent in any language...you must first be able to think in that language.  Latin based languages have different characteristics than English...as an example.  In English we may describe a car of a certain color as, "the blue car", while in Italian for example, the same description may read as, "la machina blu (the car blue).  

As one becomes accostomed to languages, this becomes prevalent.  

The study of Kyusho is the same...at least to me.  I have a simple intial part of my method (the PinPoint™ Method)...get out of the way.  This could encompass a simple leaving the scene, or if that is impossible...to avoid the initial attack and simultaneously put yourself in an optimal position to end the confrontation as quickly like as possible.  

Though the study and training of the PinPoint™ Method, students and instructors are focused on the intial reaction first so that their targets "reveal" themselves almost immediately and the practitioner now has the best available weapons for each situation...literally at their fingertips.

This has been an amazing revelation to both those new to martial arts as they did not think it would be this easy and those who are long time devotees.  

There are some that say, "With long term study...eventually they will get it."  I agree and disagree.  Long term study without good structure, constant support and feedback...will only delay the process and for some...this delay become tragic as they quit their study due to discouragement.  

To be fluent in Kyusho...I feel that the teaching methodology has to be adapted to...not by...the person learning.  Not through individual learning styles, but through a combination of good body movement, pressure point awareness (The proper way to manipulate the each point), and the weapon that would best fit that situation.

I have found, not only through my learning and teaching experience (37 years), but through those who are following my learning method...that they can actually learn the material faster and therefor spend more time on perfecting the awareness of what they are doing and then how to increase the effectiveness of the execution of the techniques. 

My question for you today is...what are you doing to help you learn faster?

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...
