Along the path...
Well folks, through arduous research, testing and actual hard training over the decades we find that Kyusho is not what many profess.
We eliminated TCM theory, in fact we eliminated theory and replaced it with combative action... we dissolved the myth of multiple point requirements, we eliminated the need for pin point accuracy... in fact we found that Kyusho is not even pressure points.
But even with all this documented and proven time and time again in courses around the world, articles, films, forums and personal interaction, some avoid the reality. Why when faced with greater simplicity and affect in Kyusho, some still cling to the old paradigms that are actually holding them back?
We hear constantly that people achieve Black Belt ranks via written or oral tests, even static application. In some sciences or disciplines this mental or limited physical measure may be adequate, but in Kyusho it is not.
Why then is it like this in most Kyusho Groups and Processes?
Comfort - people are more comfortable with their own self application, not in contest or challenge.
Admission - many do not want to say they have not really applied it or themselves to higher levels of physical, mental and spiritual challenge.
Fear - let's face it fighting and exploring the realities of a fight is scary... having the possibility of being dropped, dysfunctional or unconscious is too much for most.
Restart - people feel they do not want to start to learn so late in life as it is again that uphill struggle.
Age - it does not get any easier as you age to be physically challenged so many do not even try.
Remedies
Kyusho-Jutsu Kokusai Shihankai
You can teach Kyusho with or without a black belt or certification, so many people around the world do, your students will not know one way or the other honestly and they may not care one way or another... but that just weakens Kyusho so it will once again disappear.
This Black Belt Standardized Testing is for recognition among piers that you accomplished a specific physical application skill level.
The decision you need to make; is do you want to assure others (or yourself) that you have met an actual standard of skill in physical ability... and also the tell the world to are not just teaching from your own base.
That is the Kyusho-Jutsu Kokusai Shihankai process, tests your acquired knowledge and skill for this recognition.
The KI process is different in that everything is monitored at each level not only in skill, but human interaction. Lets face it the only way to know if you have the actual skill is to work it with many others. If you work it with only one or two people, that is not full validation... working it with many people gives you that validation, confidence and experience.
The KI method is to help others in order to learn, not just for the self, by constantly striving to help others, you gain more insight, viewpoint and methodology. When you can explain the nuances to others and help them actualize it, it yields more understanding and skill, this is far better... but when you perpetuate a group of help oriented people you not only attract more folks (everyone wants to be a part of a helpful group of like minded people, not just selfers), you gain more inner worth as well.
A teacher is not a preacher (unfortunately many are), a teacher is a sharer who in turn is a learner from sharing both sides of the equation.
KI is not for everyone, you must decide if the goal is personal skill and accreditation or a passion in helping empower others to yet empower more. If this is your goal we will help your mental directives to accomplish this, we can not guarantee or hand you this... it is actual efforts, mindset and spirit that will.
How you get the information is up to you, DVD or Computer, the more important aspect is the interaction as in the end Kyusho is always and only an interaction.
