Your friend and loyal pressure point pal.

Granted a very useful one but a target none the less.

Now the truth is that we do define kyusho points a little bit differently than your average run of the mill pressure point practitioner.

Now whether you are utilizing traditional “neurological/ACUPUNCTURE Based Pressure points, or perceptual, psychological kyusho, or evens structural or proxemic kyusho.

The most effective kyusho attack is the one your opponent can’t see coming and has no defense against.

I do make a distinction here.

Some forms of kyusho you can’t stop even if you know its coming. (those are the really nasty secrets)

What that brings us to is what most of us who have a knowledge of kyusho should be working on most of all anyway and that is…

Our Delivery System.

The single biggest mistake I see in people trying to learn kyusho ( aside from thinking of kyusho as some sort of magic bullet) is that the would be kyusho enthusiast spends way too much time on aquiring more point knowledge instead of developing his or her ability to consistently attack and activate the kyusho points that they already know.

The ability to consistently nail a couple reliable kyusho points is worth more than knowing about a thousand points you can’t make work when you really need them.

One of the secrets to maximizing your delivery system is what we call the V shaped kill zone.

The V-Shaped Kill  Zone is a line of attack that takes advantage of a very specific ‘Perceptual Kyusho Point” this perceptual kyusho allows those of us in the know to pretty much hit an point on the face pretty much at will.

To best take advantage of the V-Shape Kill Zone One Also needs to master the Lightning Fist/Stealth Punching Method We teach in Kyusho Ryu and Kyusho 2.0.

Using the lightning fist technique combined with the v-shaped kill zone we can tell our opponent exactly where we are going to attack, move his hands directly next to the target in question and effectively hit the point from 2 -3 feet away before he can block or otherwise stop the strike.

Its a technique that anyone can learn and doesn’t have anything mystical about it. Its just good science combined with the right mental and physical training techniques.

Remember first and foremost that kyusho IS A FIRST ATTACK/STRIKE ART.  In self-defense vernacular we would call it a form of anticipatory attack.

Tuitejitsu is more counter-offensive and blends with follow up pressure point striking to control and/or incapacitate an opponent.

Now as I get into this topic, and I do plan to go quite deep on this, I will probably have to break my thoughts and explanations up into smaller chunks and deliver them over the course of several weeks.

I do this for several reasons.

First of course, is that I do this blog in my spare time and as an adjunct to my personal martial arts programs which are Not open to the general public.

I do prefer to keep some of my secrets to myself.

But I do know that what I am willing to share with you over the course of our time together will at the very least entertain and stimulate you, if not enhance and even in some cases completely change the way you approach your kyusho training.

So, lets jump in and talk about no touch knockouts.

Of course the first question anyone asks when they see a “No Touch” for the first time is usually ” Is That for Real or Is He Faking That?”

Now keep in mind that is usually the polite response.

Some people are very quick to yell out “BULLSHIDO!”or its less socially acceptable equivalent.

So lets start off with the most controversial question first…

Do No-Touch Knockouts Exist?

Unfortunately, the answer to that question is a definite yes and no.

Yes I know your brain just came to a screeching halt.

So at the risk of sounding like I am evading the issue. Let me try to explain my position and as you will quickly discover
I have some rather unique insights into this phenomena, and please note that some of my views and insights may conflict and even anger my kyusho brethren… so be it.

First of all Yes, No-Touch Knockouts do exist.

I can say that because I have the dubious, or not so dubious distinction of having been one of the very first people in DKI to actually do a no-touch knockout. You can ask around DKI circles or just plain ask George D. Himself.

( Only my knockouts were done on a guys charging at me full blast and they didn’t know it was coming)

My methods are NOT the methods you see most people using to perform no-touches.

In fact, at the risk of alienating, heck even pissing people off, I would have to say the method I use is a better one, but that is strictly a personal bias.

Whew… now that I have that off my chest… let me throw some more wood on fire.

I never do a no-touch on someone who is expecting it.  I will explain that in later posts.

Here is Kyusho Myth Buster #2 – There is NO SUCH THING AS A NO -Touch Knockout.

Well if your brain wasn’t recoiling in shock, and horror at my outrageous claims before I’ll bet your head is really spinning now.

Yes, you read correctly, there is no such thing as a no-touch knockout.

Now, this I do have to explain.

And to give you this explanation I must, at the risk of sounding like I am bragging, explain my background in not only the martial arts but also my entire spectrum of training as it pertains to this topic.

First off…

I am a master hypnotist and I do hypnotherapy professionally,

I am certified in Neuro-linguistic programming

I am a Certified Reiki Master and Teacher

I am a licensed acupuncturist, and herbalist both nationally and in the state of california.

I am also a trained and certified pranic healer and psychotherapist

and in addition to all my other esoteric studies I am also a Certified Advanced Theta Healer.

All of these disciplines (and there is a lot more in the ways of credentials I can give you) allow me to look at the phenomenon of no touch knockouts with a little bit of a different perspective.

Which brings us back to my earlier statements

” Yes,Virginia, No touch Knockouts Do Exist, There is no such thing as a no-touch knockout”

hmmm.

how do you reconcile that.

Very simple really.

It all goes back to an understanding of basic physics or should I say “quantum physics”

You see a no-touch knockout works because the nervous system of our target receives a command/message that causes it to respond in  a certain way.

As a hypnotist, there is a unique category or method of placing people into trance known as “shock inductions” and or Instant/Rapid Inductions.

These methods of knocking people out (for lack of a better word) rely on injecting a sudden loss of mental or physical equilibrium into the target.

In other words…

A shock to the system that throws the subject into a state of  physical or mental chaos.

Interestingly when doing a kyusho technique, if you disrupt the targets equilibrium before you apply the pressure point strikes they actually pass out faster and go deeper.

(In fact, in some of the really secret techniques, we have some seriously covert ways to disrupt an opponents physical and mental equilibrium without them even knowing it.)

You see there really are different ways to achieve a no-touch knockout.

None of them are mutually exclusive and the models of how these phenomenon are created may be synergistic rather than the opposite.

Now setting aside the whole shock induction issue.

There is also this whole concept of energetics that come into play.

Well, honestly, you can’t really talk about kyusho without eventually running into this whole Qi, Ki, Prana Mana sis-boom-ba, subject.

Here is the bottom line,

Qi exists, get over it, the quantum physicists have, and so have a whole slew of other scientific types.

Can you get a no touch knockout using just your qi?

No, I do not believe so.

There is one other vital element that you need and if you have that element,  Qi is not such an issue.

That vital element is called “energetic rapport” many of my associates in the pressure point arts view no touch phenomenon as an Energy Projection exercise, in other words they are loading up their jedi mind power and throwing balls or blasts of energy dragon ball z style into the target, think of it like an energetic punch.

I see it differently and my experience seems to bare this out.

I see human beings as being  the worlds biggest organic  antenna.

Lets face it, our nervous system if it is anything is mile upon mile of energetically conductive organic tissue.

Our sensory system is actually designed to send and transmit electromagnetic signals, and that is only one small subset of the nerve endings we have.

The key to understand here is that at some level, we are all oscillating at a specific range of frequencies, and those frequencies of energy communicate information back and forth albeit unconsciously.

Energetically speaking our nervous system is interacting with the entire universe (and that includes the people around us) 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, recieving and transmitting huge amounts of information at the unconscious and pre-conscious level.

This information IS affecting the way we think, perceive, move and behave in the world.

We are literally in-touch and touching everyone and everything around us

It is impossible for us to be any other way.

This also means that when we find a way to tap into those frequencies we can actually send and receive information via this mechanism. Its kind of like remote control.

Now keep in mind that the vast majority of the energetic information we receive is NOT processed at the conscious level that we are normally aware of or pay attention to.

No.

This information is processed “pre-consciously” by your nervous system BEFORE you become aware of it.

Now, remember this, anything outside of your awareness is OUTSIDE of your control.

PERIOD.

Let me put it bluntly, If I have rapport with your nervous system, I can tap into your nervous system and influence it to a greater or lesser degree simply by changing and regulating my own.

I have actually taught non-martial artists exactly how to do this in just a few hours and they went out and made people do stuff like they were honest to goodness jedi. (hint, its also really good for meeting women)

Now compared to throwing a big ball of energy at someone, this process I just outlined sounds amazingly more complex doesn’t it.

It’s not.

Its actually easier.

In fact, the more energetic rapport you have, the less “Qi” you actually need.

Well, its getting kind of late.

I do hope I have laid the groundwork for a better understanding of the whole no-touch phenomenon up to this point.

Believe me I know this is a polarized topic.

Many of the no-touches that you see on youtube, and even the ones done by Grandmaster D. Himself are not what I would call a street workable approach to developing no-touches.  In fact, they usually make us look pretty bad.

Sorry guys but they do. (sigh)  I am hoping to change that.

If what I share on these posts can help others, than I consider the slings and arrows I am opening myself up to, well spent.

But they do give you a real clue about how to use certain principles to make what ever martial techniques you are going to use work better.

Feel free to post comments or questions.  Flames and other stuff will not be tolerated.

This is NOT an open forum to talk trash.

If you want to discuss principle, technique and methodology I am all for it.

If you want to flame or just be a troll, Go hang out on the Bullshido forums.

This blog is for people who actually want to learn something useful.

Until Next Time…

Kick Butt and Take Names.
