- Yes, I've trained on one of his seminars and I have seen the first
- 6 vidoes. He is for real and is worth visiting. The people he knocks
- out are really out and not all of the knockouts are on the neck. The
- arm ko's are most impressive as far as I am concerned.
-
-
- Kyusho Jutsu (pressure point attacks) are contained in the kata
- and are in my opinion the real meaning of the kata.
-
-
- Here in the UK Vince Morris is the "leading light" in Kyusho Jutsu.
- I attended a course with him at the weekend, very interesting. He
- is forming a research society here in the UK to collate information
- about the subject. I will be posting the list after the weekend when
- I have had time to type it in.

- One word of warning - be very careful in practicing these techniques
- as nobody really knows how or why they work (although some people think
- they have a good idea). The reason that they were put into Kata in
- the first place was to allow safe practice. From the weekend my right
- arm is tingling and numb on and off (especially when I type - this post
- is killing me!) It is supposed to go away after a few days, I hope it does!
-
-
- The whole area of how to practice these techniqes concerns me, I'll be
- posting after the weekend some reasoned arguments.
-
-
- Take care.
