Kyusho Jutsu Ground Fighting
Ground fighting (also called groundwork or ground game) is hand-to-hand combat which takes place while the combatants are on the ground.
Traditionally neglected by most grappling arts, striking on the ground is an important aspect of ground fighting. Typically, a top position is better for various strikes than a bottom position, simply because the combatant in the top position can generate the distance and movement needed for effective strikes, while the bottom combatant is restricted by the ground and by the combatant on top.
Sooner or later it all comes to the ground. The more prepared you are, the better your chances of coming out on top. Pressure points are key; knowing where and how to use them can mean everything in a ground fight.
Join me in this course, as I teach you the pressure points of the legs and how to effectively use them for takedowns and to immobilize your attacker.
The objective of this course is not to teach you to ground fight but to make you aware of the pressure point (Kyusho Jutsu) targets to move the odds of the fight into your favour.
However that being said, this course consists of Whiteboard lectures that will give you some ground fighting strategies to bring into your martial art.
I will also give you a series of training exercises to help condition your body for a ground fight.
Included are various drills demonstrating the usage of pressure points.
And various PDF documents for additional reading and research.
A great course, just over 2 hours of instructional video.
Thanks for reading and looking forward to seeing you on the inside.
