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.
It is that time of the year once again. Starting on Saturday September 18th at 3:00pm at our Windsor dojo I will be conducting a NEW Novice Kyusho Jitsu Certification Course. This is a one year program that runs monthly. All dates are set one year in advance and will be available shortly. If you are interested in this course please contact me ASAP for reserve your place. Please see the information below for more details. I may be emailed at master@kyushojitsu.ca.

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.
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.

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.
Here is a reprint of a post made by Master Chad Barry 6th Dan Kyusho Jitsu. This was from a discussion on knockout using Kyusho Jitsu and how they worked.
CONCUSSION
Caused by blunt trauma to the head resulting in bruising or damage to one or more areas of the brain as it collides with the inside of the skull.
This can be caused by heavy impact to the skull such as a martial arts strike, a fall, car accident, etc...
NEUROLOGICAL
Caused by a short circuit, overload, or imbalance in the central nervous system (involving both the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems).
This can be using Kyusho Jitsu techniques. It may also be caused by extreme stress, emotions, shock, or extreme trauma to any area of the body (a broken or crushed limb for example). This kind of knockout can also be chemically induced (alcohol, toxins, allergies).
CARDIO/RESPIRATORY
Caused by limiting the oxygen supply to the brain.
This can be caused by choking or strangulation involving the air supply, the flow of blood or both. It can also be caused by impact to veins or arteries causing a disruption in the flow of blood, or by dislodging plaque from the arterial walls causing clots. This is one of the reasons why we tend not to do KO's on persons over the age of 40.
Other causes such as stroke, cardio vascular disease and respiratory ailments such as asthma are considered Cardio/Respiratory issues but may also be triggered Neurologically.

People have asked my why I developed a home study course for Kyusho. The reason is simple. There is a lack of qualified instructors available to meet the demand from students. (instructor qualified to teach the Dillman system).
Myself I travel 2 hours to train with one of the best Kyusho instructors there is, Grand Master Steve Stewart, but I am fortunate that he is only 2 hour away. Thus the need for the course.
How do you use the course? The best way is to slowly go thought the materials and use our support website to get your questions answered.

Hello, my name is Art Mason. I have been studying Martial Arts since 1984 and I am the founder of Art Mason’s Peaceful Warriors Martial Arts Institute. After many years of training and hard work I began to realize many things in my own art form just weren’t adding up. Techniques that should work, didn’t. I had more questions about moves in my systems katas and patterns than I did answers. The answers I had where usually almost laughable at best, they seemed to be given to me almost to avoid the question.
That’s when I started looking other places for answers. We have a huge world filled with Martial Artists, someone had to know the answers. I searched all over Canada and the U.S to try and find these rumoured “secrets” that the old world Martial Arts Masters had hidden and never taught except to a few selected close friends and family. And if you’re anything like me… you want to know them too!
Now I know what you’re thinking… “I’ve looked, and I’ve found nothing. And when I finally think I found something it turns out to be shady or sometimes even fake!” I also had this problem. Many of the so called “Masters of Martial Arts” where liars and cheats, only after a quick buck or someone to worship them. But finally after years of looking for these mysterious secrets I finally found my answer… “Kyusho Jitsu” which means quite literally “One Second Fighting”.
Odds are if you’re reading this letter you’ve heard of it or some other kind of system, such as “Dim Mak”. Let me tell you, for as many incredibly talented people that practice “Kyusho” there are a great number of them who really don’t know much about Kyusho Jitsu and others who just make it up as they go along. Often “Kyusho Jitsu” is met with severe skepticism and often viewed as being nothing but showmanship. Kyusho Jitsu is based in science and practical applications, often using ancient Asian medical references to make for easy association and learning.
Let’s talk about what “Kyusho Jitsu” really is. Kyusho simply is the study of the human body and it’s nervous system. By studying this system you can take any of the techniques and kata in your system and make them incredibly effective, easy to apply and devastating for anyone and everyone! You will begin to learn how to interpret each and every move and discover there is absolutely NO WASTED Movements, each and every move has incredible power and significant meaning… even the formal beginnings.
The Secrets of the Martial Arts Revealed!
Kyusho Jitsu can now be studied at home!
You will be amazed when you discover…
* Kyusho fits into ANY system, regardless of origin and discipline * How quickly you will be able to apply these amazing concepts and theories * At your ability to perform any technique on even the most difficult partner with incredible ease!
How does it all work? Kyusho Jitsu teaches you how to disrupt a person’s nervous system, allowing you to perform various techniques and maneuvers with ease. Techniques like joint locks, arm bars and throws are done by temporarily shutting off various joints or by effecting specific nerves in the body to make them more painful and easier to manipulate. This allows you to quickly disable and subdue any attacker or classroom partner.
But that’s not all… for striking arts it works just as well. You will learn not only where to hit, but how to hit it. Making each strike an incredibly devastating blow while only using minimal force and incredible speed! So that even the smallest of practitioners can defend herself with amazing efficiency.
You will be able to…
* Perform previously challenging techniques and self defense skills with amazing ability and easy… even on the biggest and gruesome attacker or difficult classroom partner * Amaze even your oldest students with your ability to perform each technique like one of the legendary old world masters. * Take all of your technique and abilities to new levels of mastery!
The beautiful thing about learning Kyusho is that it works with any style or system of Martial Arts. You already know the techniques, now learn how to apply them! Kyusho Jitsu can be easily applied to any Martial Art because it is what I like to call a “Supplementary System” and can be literally plugged into what you are already doing without having to change anything you have already learned or are being taught at your school!
How is this possible? Your style of Martial Art already has ALL OF THESE SECRETS ALREADY IN IT! The proper direction and angle for every Kyusho Application is there! Now you just need the knowledge of how to apply it. I first do this by teaching you the basics of applying these incredible concepts and then by going through the real “Kata Interpretation” or “Bunkai”. Because lets face it, some of the moves in your Kata can seem down right silly and useless. Incredibly they’re NOT!

Here is what other Martial Artists are saying about Kyusho
"I am 47 years old and have been studying various martial arts for the nearly 10 years. Kyusho Jitsu appeals, not only to my desire to learn something new and different, but more importantly and unlike most "hard" arts like Tae Kwan Do, it appeals to a real need to know techniques that do not require me to go "toe-to-toe" with a potential assailant. I am at an age where I would need to deal with any potential violent confrontation, with techniques that do not require me to be an Olympic athlete to succeed and walk away unscathed. Kyusho Jitsu techniques should allow me the best opportunity to survive just such situations regardless of the age and size of an assailant."
Don Moore
Learning about Kyusho has not only improved my skills and understanding of the martial arts that I study, but it has taught me a great deal about the human body. Having only studying for about 1 year, it amazes me how little I know about the human body. Studying Kyusho teaches you to use the body's strength to heal, and takes its weaknesses and inflict pain or cause damage to help you defend yourself. I strongly recommend as a martial artist to apply the study of Kyusho to your training. Wether your a novice or Black Belt Master you will walk away with a better understanding of your martial art, and yourself as well. I look forward to continuing my education this mind opening art.
Respectfully,
Michelle Poupard
