The Sound of.....


Years ago, the concept of Kiai Jitsu (Sound Projection) started being taught.

First let me say that I believe in this after studying it for around 15 years or so.

BUT I do not agree with the way it is taught and/or the philosiphes being strewn about regarding this.

I believe this can be a valuable weapon on one's toolbox and needs to be put in perspective when training.

There are so many things to focus on while building and training to make a particular technique part of your personal Rapid Response Training Regimen™.  Honestly...half the time a person cannot tell their left had from their right hand in a stressful situation...some just in every day life.  This is does not make them a bad person...just maybe thought they need more time training and focusing on the parts of a technique that are the building blocks of a strong foundation rather than to keep throwing on more and more...to quote my friends in the UK, OZ and NZ...Shite!

When building a fire for example...too much wood on the fire will actually slow the process down.  You have to start first with small shavings of wood, cardboard, twigs, etc. to get the thing rolling...then slowly step up in size of the material you place on top.  Too much too soon?  Say good bye to the fire as you will smother it.

One of my first jobs when I was 16 was cooking burgers at McDonalds.  I was specifically told not to overload the grill because it would actually reduce the heat of the cooking surface and slow down the entire process.

These are really important concepts for those teaching and more importantly...for those of us still learning.

My question for you today is...What can you do to your favorite technique to teach the core elements of it to someone faster and then increasingly adding things like pressure points, Force Multipliers™, etc. to increase the probabilities of success?

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...
