Kyusho-Jitsu - Kiai Jitsu Basic Sounds

Everyone has heard of the famous Kiai, the legendary scream of martial arts. In fact, far from being a legend, the Kiai is a reality.

If you know how to use it, it can actually be used to optimize the effects of your techniques.

Jean-Paul Bindel introduces you logically and progressively the martial art of sounds.

He describes the body posture must be adopted before using suitable screams, and distinguishes different sounds to be produced to achieve the desired effect.

This sound method is known as Kiai Jitsu and is intimately linked to the Kyusho-jitsu, the martial art of pressure points.

Kyusho Jitsu is a martial art focused on targeting specific pressure points in the human body to incapacitate an opponent.

It draws heavily on the principles of traditional Chinese medicine, particularly the concept of meridians.

Practitioners believe that precise strikes to these points can disrupt the body's energy flow, causing pain or temporary paralysis.

Kyusho Jitsu is often used as a supplementary technique in martial arts like Karate and Jiu-Jitsu.

Training in Kyusho Jitsu requires extensive study of human anatomy and the exact locations of pressure points.

The techniques can be applied in both self-defense and competitive martial arts settings.

Despite its effectiveness, Kyusho Jitsu is surrounded by some skepticism due to its reliance on ancient medical theories.

Nonetheless, dedicated practitioners find it a valuable addition to their martial arts repertoire, enhancing both their offensive and defensive capabilities.
