“ What if you could make them more alert with one single slap on nerves, or teach them to do this to themselves anywhere anytime?”
I will go one step further as well; I adamantly believe that every Corner Man or Ringside Medic at any fighting event, be it Sport Tournament, MMA bout, Boxing Match, Judo or Jujitsu competitions, should be not only educated in this, but also certified. All of us have witnessed many“ accidental” Kyusho attacks where those attending could not do anything for the victim. One of the problems is that it is not accepted or therefore legal YET … This is a huge problem as there is a serious lack of responsible or workable emergency assistance methods( that work). This is so important as we know the longer a person is left unconscious or not properly restored from such a blow, choke or manipulation, the worse it is on the recipient.
In fact think back to all the fights you have watched where a person gets dropped( or KO ' ed) and they do not know where they are( such as a technical KO in Boxing), given a standing 8 count to see if they can continue), or a full KO down and out. The typical response is look it their eyes and ears, or administer smelling salts( inhaled chemicals, that damage brain cells) and many times not really effective. So in affect they have few real or safe answers! Well Kyusho does, the neurological technique we employ is not chemical, it is effective and it stops the repercussions these athletes sometimes feel for several days or weeks. It is also duplicable by anyone as we have proven all over the world on thousands of people. Can you imagine if a dazed fighter could instantly restore their vision, balance and senses to continue by themselves in the middle of the action or standing 8 count? It ' s not only possible, it is all so simple, unless they do not know it … how many legendary fights may have turned out differently? Or think of yourself caught off guard and getting seriously dazed or incapacitated, would you want to know a simple and quick way to possibly regain some physical control … or would you rather give up and remain weakened for the opponent? Now going even further many professional sport teams from football to hockey who incur far more injuries than the typical Martial Artist could use this skill. What if they had this knowledge, what if they had this capability to reduce injury, enhance focus and relieve pain? Think of what hat would mean to their teams safety, moral and greatly enhance performance or stamina. Many professionals instead are now resorting to sideline smelling salts or ammonia capsules for a boost of clarity and adrenaline … at the risk of brain and possibly organ damage. They cannot keep doing that for long, their careers end prematurely. What if they or you knew a point on the back of the arm that would relax all the muscles, for a nervous competitor or to assist in ridding someone of a cramped muscle before, during or after a competitive event? What if you could calm someone ' s nerves so that they respond and react quicker and more efficiently? What if you could make them more alert with one single slap on nerves, or teach them to do this to themselves anywhere anytime? The importance of this information should be underestimated nor should it be ignored.
In closing it has been a great journey with all of you that have read and watch( hopefully even learned) Kyusho
