Kyusho points or pressure points are terms used by various martial artists, to describe vital areas that are struck on the body to induce an opponent to be knocked out or killed! These techniques have been handed down through the
Chinese and Okinawan masters for many generations. By striking, pushing or rubbing these vital areas, they can knock an opponent to the ground, render a limb useless, or even result in serious injury or worse. These points can be used in many different situations, including self protection or sporting events like mixed martial arts.
Among the training tools of advanced pressure point practitioners, is the legendary Naihanchi form, the first of three short forms that history contends was brought to Okinawa by a Shaolin monk, and taught to Matsumura Sokon, one of the original karate masters of Okinawa. Throughout the history of asian martial arts, practice of only these three short forms, have produced some of the deadliest masters of China, and later, Okinawa.
