Pressure Points - How To Learn Part 3

Pressure Points - How To Learn Part 3

BY RUSSELL STUTELY

OK... I think I have made my point about the importance of Balance and how you should understand this subject inside out, upside down and the wrong way round... as they say!
 
The next area that you need to understand BEFORE you even start to learn Pressure Points is Power Generation or as we call it Waveforms.
 
I often get asked this question:"I see people on the net doing light touch K.O's, so why do I need to learn to hit hard to use Pressure Point's?"
 
There is a simple and easy answer to this:
 
Most of those clips are fake in one way or another
The genuine ones are DEMO'S
 
So, we can ignore the fake ones.. Onto the genuine ones... they are DEMO'S.
 
This means that they are demonstrations of what CAN be achieved... there is NO animosity in any attack etc etc. This is the reason they can go so light and make it work.
 
Once you start to up the aggression, speed and ferocity of the attack, so you must up those same qualities in the defence. This is where there is a real danger of doing too much damage... which would bring us onto a another area.. how to train Points correctly and safely.. which I will cover over the coming weeks.
 
This is the EXACT reason why we need to be able to hit like a freight train on steroids...We MUST have real stopping power in all our strikes. We MUST be able to hit that hard that it does not matter if we "miss" the point!



LEARN MORE ABOUT THE POWER BLACK 6 DVD SET WHICH WILL TEACH YOU HOW TO HIT HARD AND HOW TO KNOCK SOME ONE OUT WITH PRESSURE POINTS


 
I like to put it this way... If in a fight I see an opportunity to strike St5 on the Jaw... I want to hit that point so hard that I snap the jaw in half... if I hit the point great.. job more effective.. If I miss the point.. so what? I am still hitting really f$%^ing hard.. so wherever I land my shot should hurt!
 
What Are Waveforms?
They are NOT strikes
A waveform is a whole body movement that MASSIVELY increases the efficiency and effectiveness of what you are doing
It is a method to generate as much of your bodyweight through a given technique as possible
 
It MUST ALSO be understood that this should not be at the detriment of other areas such as, your own balance, ability to move, ability to defend etc.
 
Out and out power is great and obviously works.. but only when you have made that moment in time to land your shot... unless you happen to just connect of course!
 
So, the waveform movement can be applied to each and every technique, from each and every art to increase the effectiveness of that technique. The waveform is nothing more than a study of the planes and ranges of movement as applied to the Martial Arts, in the context of power generation, efficiency of movement, speed and ease of operation.
 
When I teach this area of what we do.. I can usually DOUBLE everyones striking impact in under ONE hour.. and in fact proved this live on DVD for New Approach Publishing (NAP) during the filming for Power Black 6 DVD Set
 


Don't worry.. we will move onto Pressure Point stuff next time! Promise!
