One Finger Defense : Why Doesn’t Everyone Know About Pressure Points ?

A young woman after a long, hard day at work is on the way to her car in the parking garage of a big city.  With the economy down and personal assaults on the increase, she knows that doing this so late at night can sometimes be a very dangerous act.  Have you done this yourself without thinking or without taking precautions?  How about your spouse, fiancée,  daughter, mother, or female friend?  Has anyone you know experienced a bad outcome in this kind of situation?  Were they assaulted, injured, raped, or even murdered?  Examples of personal attacks towards the public are actually on the increase.  If this is true, and situations like this in modern day society are hard to avoid, how can a person take precautions without an armed escort?

Being an authority and an expert on self-defense and martial arts, I know that you don’t have to be a martial arts expert in order to be prepared in dealing with such situations.  A little knowledge goes a long way, but it really has to be the right knowledge.  What kind of knowledge am I talking about?  In a phrase, consider “Pressure Point Defense”.

“Pressure Point Defense” can be used to defend yourself in almost any situation.  It is powerful, easy to apply, and extremely effective.    This kind of defense can be applied by the young, the old, the small, and the out-of-shape.  In fact, I have even trained others with this knowledge to individuals in wheelchairs with Multiple Sclerosis, commonly known as MS.  Unfortunately, most of the public has little knowledge, if any, of this very special and secretive way of defending yourself.

Why is that?  “Pressure Point Defense”, or commonly known as pressure point fighting, was originally categorized in the Orient as “advanced training”  -  in Japanese it is known as Okudan.  This knowledge was reserved only for Martial Arts Masters, and was NEVER to be released to the public.  This meant that even martial arts Black Belts  of low rank and those students who have not yet achieved Black Belt did not know or had not been introduced to this information due to its dangerous and powerful nature.  How powerful?  To the extreme, pressure point application cannot only lead to excruciating pain, but can also lead to unconsciousness and even death.  It is not an outrageous claim because I have seen and experienced the result of this extremely, powerful training, and it is only until recently that this training is now being introduced to a select few in this country.  It should also be noted that these same “pressure points” are used and manipulated by those who practice Oriental medicine in the form of Acupuncture and Acupressure, but these points are not pressed or hit to inflict pain as in self-defense.

In summary, “Pressure Point Defense” is a way of secretively arming yourself with knowledge that can give you an unfair advantage against any attacker – regardless of who you are.  This knowledge can be learned by anyone with only a minimum amount of knowledge and training.  It is truly a way to “fight without fighting”!  Until next time…
