The school I attend uses an awesome mix of jujitsu, grappling and throws emphasized, plenty of submission and one interesting feature, the teachings of the karate master George Dillman. He is reknowned for his use of pressure points and his knowledge of it.

 

So what does you school also incorporate?

My Karate school incorporates many wrist locks, arms takedowns, anything for close quarter, self defence situations.

 

 

In my School we use wrist locks, arm bars, shoulder locks, leg and knee locks, neck cranks, Chokes, and some preasure points as well.

 

thanks.

Oh yes, of course, and the takedowns.. which are combined with the other techniques.. ex: takedown to armbar, takedown to choke, etc..

Hey Foreverlearning, its nice to see another DKI student on the bord, for a while I thought I was the only one

My Sensei, he used to train with George Dillman, as I imagine alot of other JuJitsu and karate senseis have, or at least trained in with his system. We also practice some arnis knife techniques brought over by Remy Presas from the Phillipines. Its kind of like a non competive cross training class with Jujitsu at its core.

Dude, come on up to Phoenix and I'll show you why pressure points are over-rated.

 

 

You are probably right, i have never had to compete in a tournament or fight using the techniques i learned. Its always something nice to know though. Up to Phoenix, thats like a 4 hour drive from where i live, i live 70 miles south of Tucson

Pressurepoints combined with arm/wrist locks is the ultimate in controlling your opponents. Note apart from pressurepoints you can also target the tendons ... the archilles tendon when grappling just pinch with thumb and finger as hard and they will release whatever lock they are applying to you. Most people do not realise that you can get out of a lot of submission moves even when its been fully applied by utilising common sense pressurepoints.

 

We've learned the basic commonly used pressurepoints in my TKD school....

 

Middle of hand (dig your thumb into it)

 

Middle of forearm

 

Middle of wrist

 

Middle of traps next to the neck

 

one inch in from the outside of the shoulder (from the front)

 

Where the bicep, side delts and triceps meet

 

near the inner elbow

 

Middle of calf muscle where the 2 bulges meet (when viewed from back)

 

outside of foot

 

Inner thigh

 

 

hi im worried about using pressure points .
