A huge success!

Hosted by Ricardo Castro of Ponta Delgada, San Miguel Island in the beautiful Azores Islands.

November 7, 8 & 9, 2014 Azores - With 23 sponsors!

This was the 14th annual International Kyusho Convention, where Kyusho instructors from around the world gather to share experiences and methods.  And Ricardo made it an incredible experience for all with an attention to detail like no other... he made all the participants, long distance first timers as well as many friends and family just traveling in for the holiday experience, from Taiwan, Brazil, Denmark, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, USA and  Switzerland feel welcome as a part of a family.   But it was even more special as Ricardo announced his engagement to Ângela Ferreira, A beautiful lady with a heart as big as they get...helping all with compassion and open arms.

We did not have a large turnout this year due to the unusual location of an island in the middle of the Atlantic, but with 23 sponsors and the caliber of people, it was a complete success for Ricardo Castro. The facility was huge and right on the harbor... with 4 sections to teach the more private sessions and even with a keg of beer and soda for all to participate (beer after the training of course).

We had sections intergrating Kyusho  in Drunken Boxing (no no from the beer), Pa Qua, Aikido, Karate, Tuite, Krav Maga, Kickboxing, BJJ and so many more from the Kyusho instructors in attendance.  The main theme however was the beginning of the most advanced Kyusho training in the world... while most concentrate only on the 20% (controllable with Iron Shirt methods as shown also on the News Chanel in dispatched to cover this event), of the brains conscious capacity and affect we released the method to tap into the other 80% of the brains capacity (also shown) as well as even creating time distortion in the opponent.  The heavy research with our Doctors and Scientists over the decades introduced.  We will be escalating Kyusho into a new realm of reality and universal acceptance in the coming years.

But it did not stop there as two TV channels came to cover the event, Ricardo has become a famous spokesman for Kyusho and now attracting many new members... Like we said a huge success!

Here are two TV appearances so far:

 And if that was not all:

We have made arrangements for the IKC even in 2017 so you can start readying yourself to learn, certify or combine a holiday with education.... and we have just begun!  Thanks to our gracious hosts, sponsors, instructors and all friends and family that attended, here are some images of the island, the events and especially the people.
