Sale coming to an end

Well after about 6 weeks on sale I am finally going to return the Novice Kyusho Jitsu Home Study Course to it's regular price of $250 plus shipping. Because of the HUGE response to the sale I kept the price down as long as I could. In fact it was very challenging keeping up on shipping the product the demand was so high.

Now it is time to focus on our NEW Novice Kyusho Online Course. This will be the premiere Kyusho Jitsu Course available today! The entire process of the course will run for about 11 months at which time you can achieve a Level 1 certification. 1st Dan Black Belt is also possible, but I will post more information on this later. What is this course all about? Well the best thing I think I can do is send you over to the site and you can take a look for yourself.

Dillman Camps 2010

Well I spent the weekend at the Muhammad Ali Training Camps with Grand Master George Dillman. It was an amazing event to say the least. The instructors all did a magnificent job as well. There was a ton of great knowledge shared this weekend. Above is a lineage photo taken shortly after GM Dillman promoted me to 5th Dan. To my left is Grand Master Steve Stewart, and to my right GM George Dillman and one of my students Louise St Jacques.

Also upon returning from the camps I realized I forgot to stop the sale on our Kyusho Home Study Course. So in celebration of this great event I will extend the sae until April 30th! Follow this link to learn more.

Is Kyusho Effective?

The jury is truly out. About 60% of the people I will talk with about pressure points believe they know all about them, and that they don't work in real life situations. You know something? They are not knocking Kyusho, they are knocking their own art and don't even realize it!

To say you understand what kyusho is, without proper training, with a real qualified instructor is like listening to Britney Spears and saying you understand Mozart. It just simply is not factual. One of my long time students, of both my root art of Hapkido and Kyusho told me once he felt Kyusho was a calling and not for everyone. I am beginning to agree with him.

Kyusho Jitsu is not in and of itself a martial art. Yet it is every martial art, because all the systems have Kyusho in them, but it is like a dormant virus, until the understanding is there it means nothing. Kyusho is a way of thinking about the art you currently study, not about changing it to suit something else, like so many think. But, like any new learning the ego must be put aside. You will never learn anything while you are talking.

So as a Hapkido practitioner if I say Kyusho does not work, then what I am saying is Hapkido does not work. I know martial artist and kyusho practitioners all over the world. Some are part of the original Okinawan styles, other Chinese, Korean and some reality based combat system. Once people understand what Kyusho is, they all agree on it's effectiveness.

Now there are a lot of claims in martial arts, like we will teach you to fight in days not years. This is the live by the sword scenario. The people who really want these arts could fight anyways. Nothing wrong with that. But with 360+ pressure points on the human body, you are going to hit them anyways. The understanding of these points will make these hits more effective, period.

How do you get this knowledge? Study, and it won't happen tomorrow either. Like any martial art system, it takes time. If you are looking for instant combat skills, don't forget to take up shooting. Because in the real, tough world that is out there, the one most martial artist are trying to avoid, you will need that skill also. Hand to hand means nothing when everyone has a gun.

What system do you choose? The one that is right for your situation. Every system has it's good points and bad points, but they all contain Kyusho, pressure point fighting. The difference is the understanding that it is there and how it works.

Kyusho Seminars

If you have never been to a Kyusho Seminar I would highly recommend it. My first taste of Kyusho was back in 2001 at a seminar in London Ontario. Once I attended that there was no looking back for me. Below is a video taken from a seminar I did back in July 2009. It covers the basics, nothing fancy, just the foundation to get someone started in the art and science of Kyusho Jitsu.



This is very similar to much of the information covered in our Novice Kyusho Jitsu Certification Programs as well as out Kyusho Jitsu Home Study Course. For more information on hosting a Kyusho Seminar at your dojo follow this link.

How to make Joint Locks more Effective

My root art is Hapkido. We do joint locks and until I discovered Kyusho Jitsu I thought we did them well. Below is a video sample of joint manipulation using the principles of Kyusho Jitsu. If you have any questions please feel free to drop by our Kyusho Canada Website and post them in our forums. If you would like information on learning the art of Kyusho Jitsu at home please visit our Home Study Course Website.

Effectiveness of Kyusho

My Kyusho Rant

This is a rant entirely for the non believers of Kyusho, most mostly the ones who speak ot against it knowing nothing except for maybe attending one seminar. I was in London on the weekend working with my instructor Steve Stewart. He did a knockout on some who did not know he was going to be KOed. After the setup strikes he was hit a large intestine 20 and went down hard. No one will fall backwards like this naturally. The body will not allow it, unless they are unconscious!

Now why am I telling you all this? Because I was the one who caught this 220 lbs young man. He fell so hard and fast his elbow collided with my bicep and ruptured the disel tendon. Less than 24 hours ago I had it reattached by a surgeon.
