USING PRESSURE POINTS
KYUSHO JITSU
Studying pressure points and their effects can
help you to increase your understanding and
awareness of your own body-energy system
as well as that of your partner.
Pressure points help you to enhance control,
induce a certain reaction and directed movement
in the attacker or weaken their structure
and power.
PRESSURE POINTS NOMENCLATURE
In the western world a system
is often used where each acupuncture point
is identified by the meridian on which
it is located and its number in the point
sequence on that channel.
For example, Lu-10 identifies the 10th
acupuncture point on the Lung meridian.
SJ-3 is the 3rd point on the San Jiao (Triple Heater)
meridian.
in Aikido it is more important
to unbalance the attacker (kuzushi)
than to use individual pressure points
I recommend using natural anatomical conditions
to contact and control uke's body.
With increasing level of skill
you can start to add pressure points
as a contact and control option to
increase effectivness of your actions
LU-10 is useful for opening the fist
It is often better to not grab too firmly and
to not get stuck at any particular pressure point.
Integrate pressure point contact into
your natural movement and use the points
to sharpen your adjustment to the partner.
Use the points to give direction to your partner.
You can use massage to restore the energy flow
in your partner's points.
You can practise locating the points in self-massage
during stretching and warm-up exercise.
Contacting the points by hitting, holding,
pressing, rubbing etc. - is atemi
in a very general sense.
Do not rely solely on pressure points,
your overall movement needs to be correct
as well.
KYUSHO JITSU - DIM MAK
Kyūsho Jitsu (Japanese Kunst 所 術, dt "Art of Vital Points") refers to the knowledge of the vital points of the human body and their use in the martial arts. Kyūsho Jitsu is not an independent martial art and is not trained as such in Japan. It is a method of working with vital points based on the knowledge and principles of acupuncture and the connection to Western neurology and can be integrated into many martial arts.
Beyond knowledge about vital points, advanced users concentrate on principles which can considerably improve the effectiveness of vital point stimulation.
The knowledge of the vital points was integrated in most martial arts, not only the Japanese ones. They were known under the name Dim Mak or Dianxue (Chinese styles), Kupso Sul or Hyol Do Bop (Korean styles) and Marma Adi (India). However, with the martial arts developing into sport, this knowledge has largely been lost. While individual pressure points are usually still known, the application in its entirety is no longer taught.
Due to the high adaptability and broad applicability of the Kyusho, integration into virtually any known style is possible.
This video was recorded in Friesack near Berlin in 2012.

I was taught these hand pressure point 50 years ago. Studying Poekalan Tjimdei. And was happy to see that the hand loosening exercise we do in Aikido are the exact same hand technique to use when throwing or controlling. I do the hand stretching exercises every day. I play guitar and train with weapons. Very critical for strong flexible wrist,hand and fingers.
