| aikido pressure points: 36 Deadly Bubishi Points Rand Cardwell, 2019-03-26 Learn how to target the weaknesses of an attacker and effectively exploit them in order to defend yourself! The 36 Deadly Bubishi Points explains the pressure point techniques found in the Bubishi, the ancient Bible of Karate, and how recognizing them allows you to defend yourself against such attacks. This book closely examines these vital points and the science behind them, and the author fills a gap in general understanding of how the 36 vital points found in the Bubishi can be targeted using pressure point fighting techniques. While much has been written about the vital points and their medicinal importance, thanks to the popularity of practices such as acupuncture, martial research on the subject has been lacking. Cardwell discusses the vital points from the perspective of an experienced martial artist--including how the body's vital points are related to the 8 extraordinary vessels and 12 meridians which circulate energy throughout the body. Through detailed step-by-step instructions and over 96 photographs and illustrations, The 36 Deadly Bubishi Points shows how this knowledge can be employed in self-defense. |

| aikido pressure points: Jujitsu Nerve Techniques George Kirby, 2001 In this new volume to his discourse of jujitsu defense tactics and techniques, the award-winning instructor analyzes and charts the human body’s multitude of nerve and pressure points--and then presents a wide variety of submission techniques that use pain induction to bring an attacker under your control without injury. The text covers the secret behind the art of jujitsu, ki, mushin and self-defense, pain compliance, pressure-point and balance-point techniques, and much more. A fascinating study of the human body as both a weapon and target, complete with extensive photo sequences, highly detailed technique breakdowns, and scientifically compiled nerve- and pressure-point charts, this book is an excellent reference and learning resource. |
| aikido pressure points: Pressure-point Fighting Rick Clark, 2000-04-15 Supplement your martial arts skills with this expert guide to pressure point fighting. Western students of Asian martial arts have long been haunted by the aching suspicion that something is missing from the arts they love and practice wholeheartedly—something intangible, but something so essential that its absence leaves an unbridgeable void. For many, that missing ingredient is a true and thorough knowledge of the body's vital points: what they are, where they are, how to quickly find them under duress, how to use them, constructively or for destruction—and how to recognize them in the kata, hyung, or forms they thought they knew so well. In Pressure Point Fighting, martial arts expert Rick Clark offers a systematic introduction to this knowledge and to the tools needed to ferret out more of this information from forms and techniques already in place—knowledge and tools that are not dependent upon acceptance of the tenets of traditional Chinese medicine, or modern Western medicine, for that matter, but which are based solely on open-minded observation and willingness to try new, or old, approaches to martial arts training. |

| aikido pressure points: Bubishi , 2016-05-31 Treasured for centuries by karate's top masters, the Bubishi is a classic Chinese work on philosophy, strategy, medicine, and technique as they relate to the martial arts. Referred to as the bible of karate by famous master Chojun Miyagi, for hundreds of years the Bubishiwas a secret text passed from master to student in China and later in Okinawa. All of karate's legendary masters have studied it, applied its teachings, or copied passages from it. No other classic work has had as dramatic an impact on the shaping and development of karate as the Bubishi. Karate historian and authority Patrick McCarthy spent over ten years researching and studying the Bubishi and the arts associated with it. The first English translation of this remarkable martial arts manual includes numerous explanations and notes. McCarthy's work also includes groundbreaking research on Okinawan and Chinese history, as well as the fighting and healing traditions that developed in those countries, making it a gold mine for researchers and practitioners alike. For the final word on the true origins and spirit of classic Okinawan martial arts, one need look no further. This karate book is one of the best karate training supplements available. |

| aikido pressure points: Kyusho Aikido Nick Waites, 2017-01-23 For centuries Chinese healers have used Acupuncture points to treat a wide range of physical and mental disorders. These points, which are regarded as being key locations in the body's energy pathways, are said to be connected to the body's internal organs and when stimulated can cure bodily disorders. Some of these Acupuncture points are also used to produce a calming effect, and others to improve mental acuity. So stimulating Acupuncture points is intended to return the body and mind to a healthy, balanced state.Similarly, Aikido assumes that attackers are temporarily out of balance. Aikido practitioners blend with the attacking energy, and attempt to return it to a balanced state. Thus both Aikido and Acupuncture are based on the same idea of restoring harmony and balance to states of physical or mental disorder. This book explores the idea of combining the two practices. In it the author examines a range of Aikido techniques and exercises that can be easily adapted to allow the stimulation of certain Acupuncture points for the purpose of promoting or restoring body, mind and spirit harmony, or to improve the efficacy of techniques. |

| aikido pressure points: The Way of Aikido George Leonard, 2000-06-01 “This book is a warmhearted handshake, a graceful and practical invitation to enter and blend with the ahhh of the world. It is as natural and wise an introduction to the spirit of the martial arts as you can find on paper.”—Jack Kornfield, bestselling author of A Path with Heart In his bestselling Mastery, renowned spiritual and martial arts teacher George Leonard taught hundreds of thousands of people how to use Zen philosophy to reach mastery in any field. Now, he brings together his extraordinary knowledge and experience into a book that translates the principles of aikido directly into our everyday lives. Aikido is more philosophy and meditation than a technique or a series of purely physical maneuvers. Leonard shares the secrets of this remarkable Eastern philosophy, which is the basis for the most radical and demanding of all martial arts. Through mind-body exercises inspired by aikido yet designed for non-practitioners, he demonstrates the fundamental understanding behind aikido and shows how it can be applied to help set us on the path to composure, self-sufficiency, and spiritual centeredness. Combining illuminating personal anecdotes with practical advice, this award-winning author describes the ways in which aikido can help turn life’s unanticipated blows into gifts and transform discord into harmony, anxiety and pain into vital energy. Exhilarating, enlightening, and filled with unique wisdom, The Way of Aikido is an inspiring lesson in balance, confidence, and power. “The Way of Aikido does no less than open the door to the universe and invite you through to become one with it, to become balanced, powerful, energetic, alert, and present.”—Susan Trott, author of The Holy Man and Crane Spreads Wings |
