And Congratulations

In March of 2014 Max Maislinger once again sponsored a Kyusho International event for his countrymen.

• The week began with the filming of the 3rd and 4th modules of the internationally accepted KTCP (Kyusho Tactical Control Program) for Law Enforcement, Security, Personal Security Agents and many other agencies.  Both Max Maislinger (served as Maximum Security Prison Agent and now in Law Enforcement - Austria) and Patrick Hummer (Austrian Law Enforcement), were involved in the filming along with Ricardo Castro (IKC 2014 host at the second most beautiful island in the world - according to National Geographic) of the Azores filming and Christopher Simonlehner and Michael Mann bearing the brunt of the compliance applications (pain).

• After working with Max Maislinger (working in instructional basis for many national agencies) and Patrick Hummer on the KTCP final modules, I have decided to take the program public for modules 1 & 2.

• As Max has not only field tested the program extensively in both Maximum Security Prison and Public Law Enforcement, as well as instruction of Law Enforcement trainers and in Psychiatric control (...Medical), he has been instrumental in instructing these many agencies in the program as well.  As such Kyusho International is proud to announce that we are installing Max Maislinger as official Chief Trainer of the full program (and first official member of the new "Exclusive" KI program).

• Ok we then had a meeting after these sessions and decided to start a new program... BTBCS (big toe breaking combat system), with Max Maislinger as founder, Ricardo Castro and Michael Mann as ambassadors.   (First test blow out a candle by punching at it. - sorry private joke).

• Next up was  a course on releasing back pain and muscle relaxation, attended mostly by professionals.  By studying Kyusho and dramatically affecting the physiological function if others we have needed to develop methods on how to remedy these issues. We will also worked with relieving stress and anxiety... for a few private individuals.

• Then came the private course for Kyusho International Affiliates only working a more advanced Kyusho method than any other group. Where the other groups still train as they did 10, 20, 30 years ago we have evolved into a dynamic and realistic training program (as it should be and was in ancient times).  We then worked to prepare people for testing their Kyusho skills, not the typical standing KO's, but actual sparring and dynamic action KOs.  The private session was on the deeper anatomical Kyusho that was received and trained well by those that attended.  Special congratulations to Max Max Maislinger for successfully passing his 3rd instructor level in KI with skill none outside the group seem to have (sorry confidential material we can not show).  And also for passing his 3rd Dan in Kyusho in the Shihankai!  No hollow or fast certification here, just real and honest skill!

• Up next was the open seminar with concepts of entering and other dynamics that increases Kyusho affects 100%... along with training in the "Vanishing Points" , Ground KO's (very different than standing or even dynamic).  This left all participants exhausted but happy as they not only increased their skills, but made new discoveries in Kyusho application, affect and even surprised themselves on their ability to adapt and utilize these new found possibilities.

• Congratulations to Michael Mann and Christopher Simonlehner for successfully passing the long testing process to achieve their PL-1 certifications. Also to Ricardo Castro for his Nidan in Kyusho ... Great dynamic KOs.,, never saw those coming!  It is inspiring and humbling to see this second generation far surpass the skills of those of any rank in other Kyusho Organizations. These first level practitioners are doing more now than the other groups highest dans.  (Video Clip Here first up Michael then Chris).

But most importantly we want to recognize a true fighter; Wolfgang Siebold, who endured hours of travel to arrive at the 3 day course, just after yet another spinal surgery on top of his miraculous comeback (see story at this link).

He managed to not only lift himself from his chair, but also get great affects with Kyusho even in his weakened state.

You are only crippled by your mind and thoughts... Wolfgang, thank you for a very deep life lesson!
