BS detectors are going WOOOO WOOOO WOOOOOOO!!!!

In the martial arts, anything is possible when uke is stationary and compliant. Whole systems, all around the world, are based on this.

Hi all,

I found an old text on kyushojutsu .
Due to old age and bad quality of paper it was difficult to read but it translates something like this:


I can make any man jump
Using only my thumb
I creep up from behind
With only one thing on my mind
My thumb callous and sparse
I’ ll shove it right up his …

The kanji for the last word I could not make out.

Happy landings.

The earliest books on judo had extensive kyusho charts, which were simplified over decades, and finally disappeared completely, along with most atemi / striking instruction. This is from Yokoyama et al's Judo Kyohan 1913 chapter on atemi waza. This book is generally seen as the first judo book, as the Kodokan does not recognize the earlier ones as 'judo' books:



We cover some basic kyusho targets for punches and knuckle jabs in Nihon Jujutsu, with some simple, controlled demonstrations to convince people they exist and can be attacked effectively.

I address the topic a bit in judo instruction, mostly as an introduction to judo's technical development over time, and the removal of techniques like atemiwaza and kyusho from jujutsu to develop judo.

Hahahaha! Must be a rather obscure text.

It is a rather obscure text, true.
It's author, a jujutsu master of some repute is rumoured to have gone bonkers later in life.
Having said that I must admit I do train and teach kyusho but only when they are part of the kata we use.
We experimented with kyusho and in a dojo environment during moderate traning they do hurt and work to some extent.
When working more all out they seem to lose a lot of their effectiveness.
These kyusho work the best, from my point of view when using them in an offensive way against someone who is not really fighting you.

My two cents.

Happy landings

Against an aggresive opponent, it is hard enough to do the 'big stuff', let alone hit precise targets at the correct angle.

Against a less aggressive opponent, why use kyusho when other controlling options are more appropriate within the law?

First best wishes to all of you for 2017!!!

May all your landings be happy ones.

On topic:

Yes availabillity is always an issue. Because of a fast moving opponent or just because of clothing. Leather jackets or winter clothes for instance leave less targets available.
In one of the kata we do we control an opponent and then use a kyusho under the ear. Not so much to make him give up but to train to reach that kyusho without looking at the target. Also to constrict his vision (away from the defender) to make a counter attack more difficult.

Happy landings.

That big talking, big head in the first video is a disgrace. Fancy knocking out compliant partners and then not even having the care to reverse the results of his own actions. Instead he stands back with hands clasped, full of pride in his work and without any care for his training partner. Disgraceful!!! Makes me mad to watch it!
