For centuries, the arts of Pressure Point Fighting (Kyushojitsu, Dim Mak, Poison Hand etc.) have been one of the most closely guarded secrets of the martial arts. Shrouded in secrecy, myth and legend, this amazing art was all but lost to the world at large until Ryukyu Kempo Grand Master George A. Dillman of Reading, Pennsylvania opened the door for martial artists all across the globe.Now almost two decades later, thousands of martial art students of all styles, ranks and ages are learning, integrating and utilizing the amazingly powerful techniques, concepts, and principles of Kyushojitsu into their own martial art styles, powerfully multiplying the incredible effectiveness of each style’s techniques.

Dear Shihan David Snyder:
I was just wondering if you have local classes in San Diego?
HI Ryan,
Yes, I do hold classes. But my school is not open to the General Public.
I run a private dojo/study group here in Del Mar/ Solana Beach.
Let me know more about you, your background and what you are looking
for and we can discuss further training opportunities for you.
Sincerely,
David
PS: I also hold pressure point, Dim Mak and Kyusho Jutsu Seminars Through Meetup.com although we are now officially on hiatus for the holidays. We also have a Kali-escrima-arnis meetup if you are into those as well. The meetups are open to the public and are free, we cover some great stuff but no where near the depth and breadth of what goes on in the private groups.
I will be vacationing in San Diego in December. I will be teaching a Kuntao/Silat seminar in La Mesa on the 26th of December. If you and your students are interested I can send you the flyer and information.
Thankyou

I liked your sword sumbrada on utube.
Hi Dan,
Thanks for the invite, please keep in touch and let me know when you hit town. Jeff and I may be able to make it.
Talk to you soon.

Shihan Snyder.
I may be mistaken, but I believe I once trained under you in Coral Springs Florida, many years ago.
I was about 14 back then, me and my older brother Jonathan learned from you.
I’m living abroad in Peru. I was wondering (if it really was you (I’m a bit hazy on the name, since I just called you “Shihan” back then)), If you have any recommendations for someone in my situation. I was too young to partake in anything more than rudimentary knowledge of the techniques, and even less, of the philosophy and energy control.
I am an aspiring student of the abbot of the Canadian temple of Buddhism, She recommended that I return with my new mindset to the martial arts. Ofcourse I thought of how I hadn’t really seen how much depth of knowledge there is in your instruction due to my immaturity. Hopefully you can point me in the right direction and I can learn something in the mean time until I may once again train under you, if you will accept.
Thank you for your time Shihan Snyder.

HI Christopher,
Yes Indeed, You did study with me in Coral Springs. The martial arts have always been a powerful vehicle for personal transformation, once you get past the whole “needing to beat others” you quickly discover that the greatest battles a true warrior of any kind fights are the ones “inside” of him or herself.
Great Hearing from you.
Let me know how you are doing.
Namaste
“Shihan”
Hey Dan,
Where is your seminar? I never got a flyer for it.
