Kyusho Jitsu course
The purpose of this course is to provide a well explained and safe way to introduce the use of pressure points in martial arts and/or self-defence.
Kyusho Jitsu is a modern Japanese name, given by Hohan Soken to a system which was developed in the 13th century in China, based on the theory acupuncture and the energetic approach of Chi Gung.
It is all based on the Eastern approach of energy through the meridians, Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, etc…
But also the Western approach has an explanation which we mostly find in how the nervous system works.
The difference between Kyusho Jitsu and Dim Mak is mainly in the energetic way pressure points are activated by mainly using kinetic energy Fa Jin which originates from Chi Gung.
Both aspects will be explained in the basic course.
Some of the subjects are:
-
Asian view of Kyusho Jitsu
-
Meridians
-
Five Elements
-
Yin/Yang
-
Western view of Kyusho Jitsu
-
Human body
-
Nervous system

The Dim Mak course is a follow up course of the Kyusho Jitsu course. This is also a three day course. In this course we go deeper into the subjects of the two dragons of Dim Mak or the Yin and Yang side of it.
What is the Triple Warmer exactly?
Furthermore, the use of pressure points for healing will be discussed.
This is a big part of the course.

In this you will demonstrate the techniques, which will be given in advance, relating to your own disciplne, with the application of pressure points and an explanation of the points you use.
The practical grading will only take place after passing the results of the essay.
After passing all the requirements, you will receive your 1st Dan in Kyusho Jitsu and Dim Mak.
For courses held in other countries, the practical part will be held at the end of the course and your task, which is the essay, can be handed in at a later time. When the essay has been approved you have passed the course and will recieve your 1st Dan in Kyusho Jitsu and Dim Mak.
