Kyusho-Jitsu is the art of pressure point fighting. This method is the foundation of all traditional Asian martial arts, and is based on the theories of acupuncture.  With the same points used for healing, the Kyusho-Jitsu expert can produce local pain or numbness, control the movement and positioning of an attacker’s body, and render an opponent unconscious with a light blow.  Regardless of your style this knowledge can improve your art.  Kyusho-Jitsu is a life protection art enabling you to defend yourself and family both humanely and safely.

With its classical roots from Okinawa, Japan formly known as the Ryukyu Islands students learn effective life protection skills, human anatomy, efficient body mechanics, pressure point fighting and self discovery through classical Kata (forms) training and drills.  In time the Kata becomes alive as students create their own meanings and techiniques ensuring them a life long pursuit of understanding and growth.

Ryukyu kempo tode (or karate)-jitsu (which roughly translates as Okinawan Kung-Fu, Chinese boxing science) is a much older and  than modern day karate-do. Training must be done under a qualified instructor for safety.

The style or school of Ryukyu Kempo we train under is KYUSHO-JITSU KENKYUKAI by GM Chris Thomas 8th Dan (Black Belt).  GM Thomas is an affialiate of Dillman Karate International and direct student of the world famous GM George Dillman 9th Dan.  Together they have written several best selling books on pressure point fighting and Ryukyu Kempo. 

It is a great honor to be a Sensei for Kyusho Jitsu Kenkyukai and Master Instructor for Dillman Karate International.  It is my life long goal to share the art the I have been taught and begun to learn so that someday I may "surpass the master, to repay the debt".
