The secret is compression
Last week we talked about Multiplied Knockouts but what we did not cover was some of the ways the KO's occurred. The truth is that a few of the knockouts didn't even use a strike on the opponent, so how is it that they physically collapsed?
Kyusho can and is deployed in many levels of pressure. One of these levels is the application of kinetic force with a pulsing action, that transfers a nerve or blood spike. With this a proper target must be accessed, no tension in the practitioners application (to enact a sympathetic tension or resistance in the opponent), and the correct trajectory with the force require t take that impulse to the intended target.
Now honestly I publicly released a full video on this topic, as well as many other video demonstrations and training's, this film is excerpt for the full video which more extensive in the this type of skill. But keep in mind that the skill is in the hands and learning the correct pressures needed for the susceptible targets.
Use Case
I have mentioned throughout my research, development and demonstrations, that there are different ways to work against different structures of the body. We primarily work on the nerves because they're instant techniques and completely dysfunctional. But there are other targets such as joints, organs, connective structures as well as the blood structures and organs. To successfully access and cause shock to these deeper targets, we can use compression methods.
If you're in a tight situation, like a grappling situation, as one example, you don't have the opportunity to use ballistic force to strike. And if you don't have the skills of the 6 Ji-hands to get in and strike with accuracy and good effect in close range, then maybe you're you're better adapted for the compression techniques. What we're going to cover in this film.
They compression methods constrict blood vessels at the same time as they work on nerve transmissions as well, so they have a duality in effect. They have an instantaneous effect on the nerves and or a prolonged effect on the blood vessels. These different techniques are used in basic grappling situations to show how you can adapt this method of Kyusho into your personal arsenal.
To start this out, we're going to work on what most in the art use as a locator, a pressure point in the cheek called small intestine 18. But it is not the pressure point (concieved by man) that causes the dysfunction, it is the real and tangible anatomical structure (created by God), that runs under it. The nerve that runs along underneath the cheekbone (the Zygomatic Branch of the Facial Nerve),causes extreme pain when pushed (compressed) against the underlying bone. Now, in a grappling situation, we might not be able to strike this or hit with enough force, because we're in tight, but you can slip an elbow right up into it, or a palm heel other hard boney structures like a single knuckle, to escape, gain or maintain control of the opponent. Using just the nerve (a four of five inch long target, not a small single point), or also including the blood vessel under the nerve, has a more dramatic affect.
Compressions use a short pulse of energy or force against a target, not from a distance, but with constant contact. When the nerve is used alone, you will cause a body jolt followed by muscular dysfunction. When the blood vessel is also attacked you will also cause blood pressure related symptoms as well. Thse include loss of vision, auditory occlusion (can't hear), fainting and loss of consciousness.
Now, during the demonstration, the Ukes eyes were fully open, but you could see that he was just gazing. He wasn't focused on anything in particular as this also has an affect on the optic nerve. These are similar to shock the human undergoes in a high stress situation. You have most likely heard from martial artists, victims, Military Personnel, Law Enforcement Officers or other emergency responders, that the body goes through a stress period with an adrenaline rush. This causes auditory occlusion, where your your hearing goes, the peripheral vision shuts down and you lose your sight. Your muscles switch to fight or flight mode and you lose fine motor skills. So even though you're able to move (with limited gross motor skills), it doesn't mean that you're able to do anything in particular. So even though it looked like Uke was awake and able to move, he was not fully aware or able to control much body function.
Properly applied this is a safe technique to use in grappling because you don't always have that ability to land a good long range or even a short range ballistic strike. And again, with the the dynamics of the distancing and leverage, you don't have to open your body up, where the opponent is able to to knock you off or further strike you. So compressions are going to work especially well in the grappling range because, but you will need to secure or base the target so there is no play or withdrawal reflex pulling the target from you applied force in the compression.
There are many different targets on the human body that compression will work fully. There are places in the legs, the torso, the arms, head and neck area that are especially sensitive to compression type of knockouts. It's up to your research and your experience to be able to refine them into your arsenal.
Now, this one is harder to get the autonomic response on from access to the artery as well as the nerve, but that's not the main concern. The main concern is being able to escalate the fight if needed, to or better to escape the situation.
The Target
This is the zygomatic branch of the facial nerve and is our main target, with the secondary secondary target being the facial artery. Combining that artery in conjunction with the nerve for the best results.
The main goal is to push the artery and then also the nerve right underneath the bone structure of the Zygomatic Arch (Bone). The artery will cause a fainting, as in a choking technique. When you connect them both, you get a really dramatic dramatic result. As you saw the Uke's whole body convulsed and then he experienced visual impairment, auditory occlusion (which means he couldn't hear). He got the tunnel vision from a lower blood pressure attack.
This application affects many different physiological functions in the body. The somatic system which is the muscular control of the body, this is the reason why his body just shot out stiffened and then collapsed. We also affected the deeper structure and in so, tapped intothe autonomic nervous system because of the blood flow's altering action.
A Challenge
Film yourself working this target with a compression and send it to me. I will compile all of them and make a full film with them. Use any compression method or tool you envision and have fun watching others ideas on applications.
