I'm not surprised. I'm also not surprised that you didn't understand my post. Please don't confuse instinct with muscle memory. Instinctively you know where your joints are and how they move (basic mechanics), where you are ticklish (basic anatomy), and leverage vs power (basic physics). The study of pressure points is not instinctual. I get the impression you think i was born yesterday. I was not, so please... no double talk. Some drunk people tell stories and some drunk people exaggerate, as do some 'sober' people. But, if we were to push this drunk angle, this is due to a decrease in inhibitions. Your argument about pain falls flat on its face, as those inebriated are actually less susceptible to pain. One does not relate to the other. Just because it might be easier to fight a drunk person does not substantiate the effectiveness or relevancy of pressure points. Then we are in disagreement. Especially since instinct and 'mind/body' training are not one and the same. You could train yourself to override instinct, as long as 'fight/flight' doesn't override you. As i stated above, seems both of you misunderstood the paragraph on instinct and therein assumed incorrectly what i was inferring. Before i continue with these discussions... may i be so intrusive as to ask how long either of you (nitroice0069, ppko) have been studying pressure points? for about 10 years ( not all with the Dillman Group)

Well the pressure points actually work better on people that are drug induced, if they drink they have weak Li points, if the smoke they have weak L points, if they used cocain H and P points are affected. We have police officers in NYC that praise us all the time for the points because without them they may not have came out alive. All you have to do is work set patterns of movement to make them instictual , they are just like anything else. PPKO

I couldn't have said it better myself. PPKO

For that $70 a month, what do you get? How many hours, how many days, any private instruction, how big are the classes, etc? For $70 you get four hours of instruction per week ( two classes )no private, but I am still new so right now my class sizes only run about 3 people. PPKO

Well we use pressure points in everything we do with strikes, throws, and locks as it blends in well with everything you do in the Martial Arts. Most people use them without even knowing it. PPKO

Kyusho Jitsu is pressure point fighting ( one second fighting) I study under T.A. Frazer A George Dillman student we have well over 100 schools world wide ( for more info on DKI https://www.dillman.com). Courses very depends on where you are at my classes run about $70 a month. The strengths of learning the pressure points is that anyone can be effective with them, the weakness of them is that a lot of people don't believe in them therefor you have to prove it to them.

Hello, I am new to this forum and I am opening this thread so that people will have a better understanding of Kyusho Jitsu. I have been in DKI for a little while now and I am willing to take any questions pertaining to Kyusho Jitsu PPKO
