Description

You’ve covered the theory. You’ve drilled the points. Now it’s time to embed Kyusho Jutsu into the art of control.

Module 3: Grappling and Controlling is your gateway to integrating pressure points into clinching, grappling, and controlling situations—turning standard holds into precision-based pain amplifiers. Whether you train in Jujutsu, Hapkido, Aikido, BJJ, or a striking art with locking elements, this module is for enhancing what you already know, not replacing it.

This is one of nine modules in the complete Black Belt pathway in Kyusho Jutsu—the most advanced and accessible pressure point home study program available today.

What This Module Does and Doesn't Do

Let’s be clear:

This is not a grappling course. I won’t teach you how to escape mount or win a submission.
This is a Kyusho module designed to make your existing grappling and controlling techniques more painful, faster-acting, and neurologically disruptive.

When you learn how to activate pressure points during joint control or positional dominance, your techniques transcend mechanics and start speaking directly to the nervous system.

What You'll Learn

In this hands-on module, you’ll discover:

How and where to apply pressure points during common control positions
(Think: wrist locks, clinch holds, guard breaks, shoulder control, chokes)

Making pain predictable

Printable technique breakdowns with pressure point overlays
Access to the Kyusho Pressure Point Academy Book (included!)
Point Reference Guide tailored for grappling scenarios

Elevate Your Art. Don’t Replace It.

When you embed Kyusho principles into your grappling and controlling framework, your techniques not only gain effectiveness—they gain intelligence. This is how you start seeing patterns others miss. This is how your martial art evolves.

Join Module 3 now and discover what it really means to control through pain.

Who this course is for:

A Kyusho Jutsu student progressing through the Black Belt Home Study Program.
A traditional martial artist (Jujutsu, Aikido, Karate, Hapkido, BJJ, etc.) who uses grappling and control in your core curriculum
