  indian martial arts pressure points: Kalaripayat Patrick Denaud, 2009-10-13 The first book in English on the Indian martial art that was the precursor to the Chinese and Japanese traditions • A rigorous martial arts practice that also promotes harmonious self-development • Provides practices for controlling the circulation of energy and vital forces throughout the body Originating in the southern Indian province of Kerala, kalaripayat is the most ancient of the Eastern martial arts. Yet today it has been practically forgotten. Former CBS war correspondent Patrick Denaud looks at this neglected tradition, whose history spans millennia, from the time it was transmitted by the god Vishnu to the sage Parasurama and his twenty-one disciples, the original Gurukkals, to its present-day practice. More than an art of combat, kalaripayat is a way of life and a spiritual discipline. Its martial techniques are designed to create states propitious for deep meditation. Long the jealously guarded art of the Nair warriors of southern India, kalaripayat was banned by the British East India Company in 1793 and was long believed by outside observers to be extinct. Several Gurukkals continued a clandestine practice and secretly trained the students who would transmit the teachings to today’s keepers of the art, such as Gurukkal Pratap S. Balachandrian. Like other spiritual disciplines, kalaripayat draws from the science of breath. Focused, silent breathing creates highly concentrated trance states and helps control the inner circulation of vital energy. The practitioner learns not only how to be a capable fighter with or without weapons but also an accomplished healer. The emphasis of this practice on circulating energy throughout the body is not only of interest to martial arts practitioners but also to all those interested in the harmonious development of the self.
  indian martial arts pressure points: Introduction to Acupressure & Qigong Ram Babu Sao, 2025-05-20 This book, “Introduction to Acupressure & Qigong” provides you with the gist of most of the topics on acupressure in detail. The origin of acupressure is very ancient and it was discovered that pressing certain points on the body relieves pain and stress, and heal diseases and also benefits other parts of the body. The Chinese have practiced acupressure to keep themselves well and happy. You, too, can learn and help your body relieve itself of common ailments by pressing the proper spots. Acupressure is a way to help your body fight back many health problems like stress, pain, numbness; headaches; heaviness in the head; dizziness; ringing in the ears; stiff shoulders arising from disorders of the autonomic nervous system; constipation; sluggishness; chills of the hands and feet; insomnia; malformations of the backbone frequent in middle age and producing pain in the shoulders, arms, and hands; pains in the back; pains in the knees experienced during standing or going up or downstairs; tension, the balance of emotions, anxiety, grief, other emotional imbalances and diseases that can be relieved with acupressure. Acupressure points can be used to enhance many aspects of life, such as managing stress, relieving and preventing sports injuries, improving muscle tone, and blood circulation, relieving neuromuscular problems, and a beauty treatment like improvement of skin condition and toning and relaxing the facial muscles, which can lessen the appearance of wrinkles without drugs. However, acupressure is not a substitute for medical care; it is often an appropriate complementary treatment. The Acupressure points are located between the shoulder blades, the spine at the level of the heart, the soles of one's feet and palms, and all over the body. Patients with life-threatening diseases and serious medical problems, such as a stroke or heart attack, or any serious medical condition, should always consult their doctor and take treatment before using acupressure therapies. Acupressure is not an appropriate sole treatment for cancer, contagious skin diseases, or sexually transmitted diseases, but in conjunction with proper medical attention, however, gentle acupressure can help soothe and relieve a patient's distress and diseases.

  indian martial arts pressure points: The Power of Pressure Points R. Barry Harmon, 2016-02-29 “This Book introduces martial artists to the most effective and commonly used pressure points”. R. Barry Harmon, License Acupuncturist, 9th Dahn Black Belt in the World Kuk Sool Association Any mistakes in the research or information in this book is the total and complete responsibility of the writer. In no way should any contributors be held responsible for the writer’s opinions or mistakes. This book is meant to help martial artists understand the power, use, and effectiveness of using pressure points for striking and grabbing purposes. This book will cover the most effective, the most common, and the most practical pressure points in martial arts; therefore, I will not cover every single pressure point that is used in martial art, acupuncture or healing. It will also include points or areas that are not regular pressure points but specific common areas that are used for martial art striking or grabbing. I will not be discussing the anatomical or energetic effects of each point when struck but the effects of the strike on the pressure point. In other words, I explain what may happen to the individual when a particular pressure point is hit. It was a very difficult decision to choose how much information to place in this book. The goal of this book is to include enough information to help the reader understand the pressure points and their possibilities. I have tried to avoid overwhelming the reader with more information than most martial artists are interested in studying. That said, I decided to include a little more information than most might be interested in concerning the theories of Ki, Um (Yin) -Yang, Five Elements, Channel theory, and pressure points. This information is specifically included for those martial artists that are interested in a more in-depth study.
  indian martial arts pressure points: Ashoka's Lions Henry Jesuadian, 2021-05-31 While researching for my book about the Indian Air Force Himalayan Eagle – The Story of the Indian Air Force, I came across some very interesting details about the military/warrior traditions of India that seemed at odds with the general image of a country thought to be spiritual and pacifist - the Buddha and “Mahatma” Gandhi immediately spring to mind in this context. The details were intriguing enough for me to embark upon another ambitious project - to gather together and collate the data available on this Indian warrior tradition and its resurgence in modern-day India. This work is the presentation of certain pertinent details that are available in the open sources but told in a comprehensive, objective and readable form so that an interested reader gains a better understanding of India’s little-known martial and warrior history! It is a narrative of the warrior/military traditions of India going back to its pre-Vedic roots and covers the birth of the Indian warrior caste, the Kshatriyas. How these warriors dominated among the empire builders, and how their pre-eminence was superseded by civilian rule, a change in the political scene of India that was to have ramifications from the 10th to 20th century CE. The title chosen for this work may confuse those readers who are aware that the emperor Ashoka eschewed violence for pacificism as a Buddhist. The lions in the title refer to the four represented on the Ashoka pillars at Sarnath, each facing to the points of the compass and which are symbolic of the present-day warriors of the country, the Indian armed forces, guarding against intrusions from any point.

  indian martial arts pressure points: Thaamba Jaidev, 2022-11-28 Horror is not something we create, nor is it something that jumps out of a closet in a dark room at an ungodly hour. Horror is not something which always advertises its presence with things falling down, windows banging shut or lights going off. It is something far more subtle, more real, more sinister like your shadow, imagine if it were to grow in length every day even if you stood at the same spot, at the same time of the day and when the lighting is similar. The shadow that grows like a cloak on your back on a day by day basis proportionate to the debauchery and evil you engage in, until it grows to such an extent that it engulfs you, sunlight is blotted out of your life and you are condemned to live in eternal darkness, is the essence of horror. Something that enters your life as a small vice, stays on as a companion, then grows as a master in whose clutches you are until it obliterates “you”. Horror is that which will sink deep roots into your subconscious and change you from within to such an extent that you will appear alien to yourself.
  indian martial arts 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.
  indian martial arts pressure points: The Complete Kano Jiu-Jitsu (Judo) H. Irving Hancock, Katsukuma Higashi, 2016-01-16 The best guide to learning jiu-jitsu ever written in English, this is the most comprehensive study available. It describes the authentic form of judo developed in the late 19th century by Professor Jiguro Kano — not the many imitations often called by this name. Officially recognized by the Japanese government as the preeminent school of jiu-jitsu, the Kano system was the method in which Japanese armed forces and police were trained. The complete system of 160 holds and throws is clearly explained, with 487 photographs and four charts providing further clarification. Pressure points, balance, falling, and every other important aspect receives full and complete treatment. The first section presents 60 tricks of combat in strict sequence that prepare for part two, in which readers learn how to apply the advantages of the tricks they've learned. The third section deals with highly scientific tricks of combat, by which an opponent may be incapacitated — and the methods of kuatsu, or resuscitation, by which a fallen opponent may be revived. Martial arts students at every level of experience will find this classic guide a source of valuable information and instruction.
  indian martial arts pressure points: Journey of Modern Science SURYAMANI MISHRA, The scientific revolution (1500 AD onwards) was the emergence of modern science during the early modern period, when developments in mathematics, physics, astronomy, biology (including human anatomy), and chemistry transformed societal views about nature. Scientific Revolution refers to a period roughly from 1500 A.D.onwards, which witnessed fundamental transformations in people’s attitudes towards the natural world. The Year 1543 is considered the beginning of the scientific revolution when Astronomer Copernicus proposed the idea(without tools like Telescope) that planets including Earth revolves around the fixed Sun, an idea that goes against the belief of nearly two thousand years of Sun rotating the fixed Earth concept. Later after almost 50 years of his death, Galileo using his Telescope proved Copernicus idea as true against the will of the Roman Church.

  indian martial arts pressure points: Health, Longevity and the Martial Arts Edmund A. Cruz, 2018-06-16 There are many exercise programs out there to choose from; however, choosing martial arts as that exercise venue is a big decision. As in all sports, dedication and discipline are required in your chosen sport to become good. In choosing the martial arts as your pursuit, that dedication and discipline is at a very high standard. It becomes a lifetime devotion which is geared towards a code of honor, a creed to follow, and responsibility to carry your skills to a higher human level. This book is not just about martial arts or about you making a survival choice regarding a self-defense endeavor; it is also about life and longevity as well as how to stay and maintain that state of physical well-being. This maintenance or balance formulates the essence of “Taijiquan” the philosophical concept for both its defense training and its health benefits. I hope in reading this book it will help you to choose wisely. What would happen if the masters of different martial art’s academies join forces to devise one master form of martial arts? This should include all the martial arts systems, styles, philosophies, and functionalities and to embrace the hidden secrets of their individual styles and formulate one master super self-defense universal system that is all incorporating and encompassing. A structure in which entails the very essence of human survival. This new system of martial arts would maintain the subsistence for the sacredness and protection of our evolutionary way. This “way” is the continuation of the human-species. Longevity depends on maintaining your survival skills and survival skills depend on maintaining your health. It is all tied together and there is no separation of these factors. This book is about that; to maintain and live a healthy and long life through the use of the martial arts format. I called the union above “The Yoda System.”

This workbook will introduce you to ground-breaking techniques which you can quickly and easily learn to use for emotional and physical healing. The primary meridian therapy you will be learning here is The Emotional Freedom Technique? (or EFT). EFT is a versatile and powerful technique which is accessible to everyone due to its simplicity and convenience of application. I have always been interested in complimentary therapies and have spent a great deal of time over the years looking into various techniques for reducing stress and anxiety and overcoming personal blockages and limitations. One area that was of particular interest to me (fuelled by my talks with and observations of the courageous battles of people I love dearly) was anything that could ease the pain of abuse or trauma without producing feelings of exposure or vulnerability. A true healing process where the healing and relief could begin immediately without having to go through and go over the very things that were so painful to recall. Due to the staggering success rate of EFT the word is spreading fast. The aim of this workbook is to present these valuable and highly effective techniques in a way that can be easily learned by anyone who wishes to try the power of meridian therapies for themselves. The first part of this book (the science) provides a basic understanding of the meridian system and covers the history and development of the techniques presented. After the science you will find the art - for those of you who want to get straight to the business of setting down your emotional baggage and walking away from it. This is where you can begin learning the tools that you will use for a lifetime. Ananga Sivyer
