first at all i like a lot your subjetive style of presenting us this technique, id be really really interested in some more information and the way of learning this technique here in europe where im from its not really easy to get any info, what can i do, should i just suscribe on your web?

First of all, entry level kyusho requires the use of multiple pressure point stimulation. Therefore while you may see someone “strike” a pressure point and knockout the subject pay attention to the places the experienced kyusho practitioner touched, rubbed or struck “prior to” or concurrently with the finishing technique.

Most kyusho techniques do require a “set up or activation” for maximum efficiency…

However…

While most kyusho-pressure point attacks require the use of multiple pressure points many of the more advanced techniques actually make use of pressure point clusters. (Areas of the body where a group of pressure points that have the correct relationship to each other) can be hit with one blow.

Few of us outside of certain circles will talk about this aspect of pressure point fighting because of … well… lets be honest, we have to keep some secrets to ourselves in order to level the pressure point playing field.

Now with regard to your missing and/or damaged hand. One of the truly unique aspects of kyusho and especially Kyusho Ryu and Kyusho 2.0 system is that even people with significant physical disabilities can use these techniques and have a better chance of defending themselves .

Its just that you have to learn to adapt and modify your techniques to fit your capabilities. but even with just the use of one hand, you still have elbows, knees, feet, and even your head can be used to attack kyusho points.

That doesn’t even take into consideration to the top secret ultra-pressure point skills one learns in “Harajitsu” which in my opinion, is the ultimate master-pressure point because it simply works on everyone regardless of size, or ethnicity and it even nullifies ones ability to use kyusho against you if you understand it. (its very advanced but once you got it there isn’t much of a defense against it.)

So the short answer to your question is yes, you can most certainly use kyusho even with some physical setbacks. ( I know quite a few people in this category)

Great question and I hope that gives you some food for thought.

Thanks again.
