e258 – KUDEN! – Kyusho: Now What You Might Think and Why That’s a Problem


Most martial artists misunderstand ‘Kyushu’ as just “pressure points”. This leaves them open to believing that they’re primary focus is on pain compliance.

In this episode, we’re going to break that myth wide open – taking a look at the true meaning of Kyusho in both self-defense and life. You’ll learn why relying on pain-alone is not only unreliable, why in many cases it doesn’t work at all, and can often have the opposite effect intended.

We’ll also take a look at different types of Kyusho, and how knowing your own “triggers” is just as vital as knowing how to attack your opponents. This is strategy, not fantasy.

So… if any of this hit a proverbial “nerve”, I hope you’ll join in for this episode of KUDEN! Radio – the podcast for the serious modern warrior!
