What is Kyusho?
Kyusho is a Japanese word that directly translates as “Vital Point.” In many martial arts circles the term Kyusho is associated with pressure points.
Seiyu Oyata coined the term Kyusho-Jitsu in reference to Pressure Point fighting. Grandmaster George Dillman then promoted the term and referenced it to “One-Second Fighting” with the idea that if you utilized pressure points the fight would only be one second long.
What is an Uke?
In the martial arts the term Uke is used as a title for the person who receives a technique. Some schools refer to an Uke as the attacker. In my school we refer to an Uke as “The one who suffers for the sake of learning.”
For my school definition, I have to give Gary Boaz credit. He used the term and definition in one of his web videos on the ExpertVillage channel. I thought it was so cool, I had to use it.
Do You Teach Seminars?
Absolutely yes. If you would like to contract Sensei Mish to teach a workshop, please contact him through his school site artisanmartialarts.com.
