A Medieval Bubishi
This research and post topic came in from one of Kyusho's subscribers Jason (last name withheld for privacy):
Dear Mr. Pantazi, I came across a history article I think you may find interesting. The title is : The Many Lives of the Medieval Wound Man , By Jack Hartnell. If you are unable to find the article online you can provide me with an email address and I can email you the pdf. Jason
We need to realize that Kyusho is not limited to Eastern Martial Arts, it has been throughout every culture, country and method of armed and unarmed combat. And it ranges back further than we think, as soon as someone understood the best places to strike, stab, pierce, bludgeon or slice, that would have the quickest and most profound result.
There is no single text, scroll, book or document that is the one and only source, nor should one style ever be a single method of study. However there are just a small number of targets that do keep appearing in all cultures, styles, times and multiple attack methods on the same target.
So our best way to gain the most powerful insights is to study as many as we can, compare the targets, what was described as location, structure and ramifications of the attack on them. In this film, you are seeing images that are depicting real anatomical structures, not made made fictitious meridians and pressure points.
