Module 7: 10 Principles of Kyusho Jutsu

Explore the 15+1 principles of kyusho jutsu, including attack along the meridian, cycle of destruction, yin yang, tempo, color, sound, directional energy, vibrational energy transfer, and alarm points.

Explore the three activation methods—pressing, striking, and rubbing—and learn how to apply them to pressure points like large intestine 10, including rub left-right between triple warmer 11 and 12.

Master two way action to activate pressure points, pressing in and pulling with twisting strikes at the correct angle and direction, with energy concepts reserved for module 9.

Engage grappling drills focusing on height, width, depth, and energy projection while UKE and Tori exchange feedback. Develop Kyusho effectiveness through genuine intent from both attacker and receiver, projecting energy.

Apply the octagon theory of eight directional movements—horizontal and vertical—to quickly get out of the way and avoid strikes, whether using hands or weapons.

Quadrant theory divides body into eight quadrants to guide finger locks. Project energy through the quadrant, visualizing it sending to the opposite side with two fingers as fulcrum and lever.

Examine the cycle of destruction among fire, metal, wood, earth, and water, linking each element to meridians and two-way strikes like knife hand and grasping.

Pair up to counter a grab by striking large intestine 10, attacking the metal point with fire, then heat with yin and gradually add energy, introducing yin–yang concepts.

In drill 2, uke and tori attack Gall Bladder 20 at the back using wood element, then metal and fire, envisioning an ax and ridge hand while bending the opponent.

absorb the opponent's metal by targeting the lung and kidney meridians during grabs, then tilt the water balance to amplify your strike with kidney 1 and kidney 27.

Explore hand elements theory in Kyusho jutsu, using thumb earth and fingers to form wood, fire, metal, and water. Attack along meridians and combine elements for stronger strikes.

Explore hand element positions in Kyusho Jutsu by combining thumb with fingers to form earth, wood, fire, metal, and water; mixing more elements boosts level 2 and level 3 knockouts.

This drill demonstrates five hand element positions, using a ridge hand to strike Liver 9 and apply metal to chop wood within metal meridians, with trapping hands and intent visualization.

Drill 2 trains attacking stomach 6 from a push with a palm strike, applying yin to yang, thumb-index finger wood pressure, and chi energy to penetrate earth.

Execute drill 3 by trapping a punch, catching the arm, and delivering an arm bar at Triple Warmer 12, using water to quench fire with a Hee sound.

Drill 4 demonstrates targeting large intestine 18 on the metal meridian with a knife-hand strike, using fire visualization and flow of receiving impact.

From a grab, press Lung 5 to turn and access Gall Bladder 20, delivering a metal chop to wood with a ridge hand while keeping eye contact.

Demonstrate the cycle of destruction by pressing large intestine 10 to control an opponent, channeling energy through a knife-like strike and visualizing fire and metal meridians.

Explore stacking the elements in kyusho jutsu by linking fire and metal through finger lock and center lock, using Heart and Small Intestine meridians to intensify energy flow.

Explore tempo as a Kyusho principle by varying speed and timing to confuse the brain, using soft and hard sequences to disrupt reaction and improve control through practice.

Explore yin-yang dynamics across meridians, head involvement, and weapon choices, then apply yin-yang striking patterns and point targeting in kyusho jutsu drills.

Learn drill 1 in Kyusho jutsu, using yin and yang timing on a double lapel grab to target the lung and large intestine, attacking yang before yin.

Master the yin yang drill from an arm grab by circling and applying the z lock, shifting from yin to yang to unbalance and strike.

Advance the yin-yang concept by stepping inside a punch to strike the lung point, combining yin energy with a knock-out sequence and the four elements: fire, metal, earth, water.

Apply the yin yang concept in drill four as the receiver blocks a cross-hand push and executes a finger lock with a soft fulcrum and hard lever.

Explore how colors in Kyusho Jutsu function as destructive and healing tools, with red used to inflict or protect and black serving as a neutral that can become other colors.

Practice center lock drills in kyusho jutsu and compare pain and healing responses as you test white as a healing color, establishing a benchmark and yin yang protection.

Apply color to distract the uke in a center lock, erase the white color from their mind, then press Large Intestine 10 to drop them and protect yourself.

Drill 3 teaches using red to protect yourself by imagining red during stomach 5; the tori dons red, and outcomes are compared.

Drill 4 teaches color-based push technique, targeting Lung 1, a metal meridian, and Triple Warmer 17 with fire-to-fire and fire-to-metal concepts, absorb impact, and visualize colors to guide strikes.

Apply a cross arm grab into a z-lock, unleashing fire, metal, and wood with red, grey, and brown. Gall bladder clusters 13–15 to trigger a knockout through cycle of destruction.

Explore punching dynamics by targeting Liver 13 and Gall Bladder 31 with an elbow and knee, using yin-yang transitions and brown color visualization to reinforce flow.
