Kyusho Korner™ Workshops

Not only do people deserve a self-defense education, but people also deserve to be able to defend themselves effectively. This is where our Kyusho Workshops come in.

Pressure Points, Vital Points, Kyusho… however you want to refer to them, have always been a spark of controversy within the martial arts. At first they were promoted as some “secret” that was held back from those who were not worthy, but after 40 some years the secret is out. Some say they don’t work, some say they don’t exist, some are so disillusioned by their instructors that they believe pressure points are all you need. In reality kyusho falls somewhere in between.

Unfortunately some of the leaders of the pressure point movement have let their egos get the best of them. And this has turned a lot of people off. No matter what your experiences with them have been or what your preconceived beliefs are, pressure points do have valid place in the martial arts. It’s the environment and the method they are taught in that counts.

This is where the Kyusho-Jitsu Workshop comes in. These workshops, led by Sensei Mish, are designed for every martial artist. It doesn’t matter what rank, style, or school you come from.  The only thing that matters is that you are open to learning. Provided is a non-political environment that is non-style specific; and without the limitations of any specific curriculum or membership requirements. The idea is to allow students of any rank or style to attend, learn, and play.

• All styles and ranks welcome
• Outside organizations welcome
• Open minds expected
• No yearly membership fees required
