The application of timing,
is a vital component for Kyusho application and a reason many people struggle to get Kyusho to work for them.
Kyusho is all about unbalancing the physiological functionality of an opponent. So with that in mind we can not strike two points at the same time and cause an unbalancing, the time must be staggered to cause the greatest effect on the recipient.
As an example, we will take a very easy KO by using a strike to the same target on both sides of the neck to further understand this concept.
If I strike these targets simultaneously, it will send a massive surge of energy to the center causing a massive headache... this can be disabling as well as a fight stopper, however for great affect and dysfunction we need to stagger the timing.
By staggering the timing, even a split second you will cause two separate surges into the head that the body can not easily cope with and in turn cause a loss of consciousness and body control.
Now this applies all over the body, however it is quite different in timing of the hits. Say for example I kick a leg nerve and a head nerve at the same time. Now even though you strike at the same time, the distance and time for that shock to enter the brain will be at significantly different times, due to distance of travel to the brain.
Timing also has a direct link to the force of the strike as well. If for example you again strike the targets on the side of the neck at the same time, but one strike is double the force of the other hand; this still causes a staggering of the time as the harder strikes message will be monitored faster than that of the lighter strike.
So when you are thinking about neurological attacks, think more along the lines of the message from the target to the brain and how to stagger the timing to cause imbalance.
This will increase your Kyusho ability and skill.
Disclaimer: We no longer work with pressure points as the targets, but rather the underlying anatomical structure.
Point names are used for those still using this outdated paradigm or model.

So if there is an opportunity/intent to hit two different targets that are at a similar distance from the brain…staggering timing and/or force will increase the chance of better reaction.
If as in your example of the leg and head, using targets like the inside ankle and the base or side of the neck, given the distance the leg signal will have to travel in relation to the neck, staggering and force isn’t needed?
Correct as the timing will be different due to distance. Now these are really split second messages, so if you hit say the neck and head at the same time it would need the staggered hit. But as your example of leg and head, they could hit at the same time due to the longer distance.
The force is a different matter, but you would be hard pressed to hit the leg and head attack with the same force when striking anyway.
