Today's article is about the Top 3 Kyusho Jitsu Pressure Point Misconceptions. For anyone interested in self defense this is an important articles. Excerpts are below.
What inspired me to write a post today about Kyusho Pressure Point Misconceptions? Simple, it was a question asked of me on my June 1st Free Kyusho Club Webinar. What was the question? What pressure point can I strike to get out of a rear naked choke.
The question while seemingly logical actually shows how far I have yet to go to educated people in the science of pressure point self defense. The answer to that question? The solution is tied to your root art. Plus from rear there is very little available to strike. And you have between 4-6 seconds before you are unconscious. That is not much time!
There are solutions, and I do have some. But they are tied to my root of of Hapkido.
Kyusho Pressure Point Misconceptions #1 Pressure Points Don't Work on the Street
This is one of the great misconceptions which is why I have it listed here first. This is something that originated with a group of martial arts misfits, who consulted friends for advice. The truth is they are epic failures.
They tout that "gross motor skills" are the only thing that works and that Kyusho is all about fine motor skills. Sorry dudes, you are all clueless!
The funny part is in the next breath they talk of how the ONLY effect street system is Krav Maga.
And guess what boys, everything they teach is based on fine motor skills. However with "proper" training, learning to control your emotions under stress all these fine motor skills work! But the issues people have is this requires WORK, something the "naysayers" are allergic too!
If you are one who can't use pressure point strike on the street it is a training failure, not a pressure point failure! Train harder!
Kyusho Pressure Point Misconceptions #2 - Kyusho Knockouts are not real.
This is another one of the great Kyusho Pressure Point Misconceptions.
Before you make judgment on anything, especially if you are going to talk about it, it is always best to do the work and learn first!
Someone once said to be that the ONLY way to knockout someone out was with "blunt trauma to the head." So what happens in blunt trauma to the head? A concussion. This is swelling and bleeding of the brain that causes an unconscious state if sever enough due to a neurological reaction to the damage.
