Your Kyusho Skills

You can learn Kyusho from so many sources, but that does not mean you have skill from just a learning process.

One of the most common errors when people want to learn a new skill such as Kyusho is to focus too much on theoretical knowledge rather than on methods to acquire the skill.  That is often why people tend to not clearly differentiate between these two aspects of learning.

The key difference is that knowledge is information oriented whereas skill is performance oriented...... knowledge can be shared through various means of communication whereas skill can only be shown in performance and acquired through repetitive action...... knowledge is in our conscious mind whereas skill is in our subconscious mind.

For example, think about a person who can construct very fine ceramic pottery and a person who knows a lot about the different techniques of pottery but has never done one himself.  These two persons have very different abilities.  One has skills that are embedded in how he moves the hands while doing the pottery, the pressures and the movement that he applies to the material and the internal feeling that he acquired for this gestures.  The other person knows a lot about pottery making and can probably distinguish valuable pottery for cheap one but he would not be able to produce a valuable one himself... until experience is obtained.

When we learn Kyusho Skill a minimum of knowledge or direction is all that we need to gradually and incrementally improve and practice our ability therefore learning real skill as opposed to mere knowledge or another persons theory.

Once we achieve the ability to transfer a small bit of knowledge into an actual skill we can then build upon that foundation and add level after level going as high as our foundation will allow.  Any weakness in the foundation, be it hurried, inconsistent in quality or manufacture or based on incorrect engineering, we will only be able to build so far before the structure collapses.

What unfortunately happens in most Kyusho training is not in training, it is in memorization or static ritual mirroring of set theoretical models.  The student may get the point location, feel the point and apply the point, then given a theorem on how it works.  They may even be given  a set technique to apply and therefore believe they are gaining experience or skill, but this has not been forged into a real skill by spontaneity, flow and the fires of stress with limiting physical, mental and spiritual possibilities.  Instead they read,take notes,postulate, experiment and then falsly believe they have developed skill... this is a fragile state and it is destined to fail under pressure, stress and time due to the unstable construction of their education process.

The student must be given a task to accomplish and the formula to achieve it, in Kyusho for example they must be given a target, feel it, then make another feel it.  Once that basic construct is developed, then they need to apply it in spontaneous and stressful application.  They must be made to achieve this under varying environments, dress, urgency, attack scenario, restrictions in fine motor skill, sight and hearing impairment and many other limitations to mind, body and soul.

Once this task has been successfully achieved multiple times under multiple situational confines and

That is why learning by doing is by far a more powerful way to learn actual skills.  Because you are forced to practice the skill from the beginning before you acquire too much theoretical knowledge which will have no foundation.
