Yoshiki Go Shin Jutsu is a dynamic application of synthesized skill elements from my
exposure to martial arts and attempts to align to natural body movements and reactions. It allows a fast learning curve of core usable skills,
which can then be further improved or added to over time.
Please note, I haven't invented any thing new, but I have taken OUT many of the many general techniques I learnt for my gradings, but never used
much in day to day training.
It's seems more pertinent in todays lifestyle to fast-track to a basic level of competence and confidence and be good at a solid core group of
usable and effective personal skills.
When engaging in unavoidable confrontation your mind set must be one of attacking and winning!
A real engagement, with the correct tools and training, should be finished in 5 seconds.
No time to take up fancy martial art poses or waving arms at 2 meters apart or collect points or go three rounds.
No time to waste being defensive and trying to 'block' blows while retreating backwards.
If you are not putting the attacker down, then they are dominating - you are just a space away from being beaten up.
In Yoshiki Go Shin Jutsu we are going to show you how to take control and take action to put your
attacker on the floor while you make your escape.
Use your intelligence and system knowledge coupled with natural skills and instinct.
We are going to use simple terms to explain a couple of basic principles used.
1. Action state. Once your first strike has landed, you continue to close in tight on the attacker, delivering a constant
barrage of techniques to available points that will get a known response. You control your balance and take over his space and his balance,
continue until he is incapable of response or retaliation.
2. Reaction state. If we initiate a stimulus to the human body in certain places we get a known reaction or response because
of the way the body instinctively performs. Good contact to a man's groin with a kick will bring the head forward as the body reacts to the pain,
and to give protection. The head/throat area becomes the next target for attacking. Striking the head will get a reaction and present the next
target…and so on. Knowing what the result will be for a given action technique means we don't need brute strength to get predictable results.
To get these reaction states, our physical action techniques fall into three simple areas.
Striking Techniques.
Using parts of the body that I like to call 'natural weapons'. Nothing fancy is used here to cause pain to the attacker and includes open
and closed hands, forearms and elbows, head, foot, shin and knee.
These will be used to punch, strike, kick, slap, claw and stomp the attacker on his 'natural targets'.
Leverage Techniques.
Latching onto limbs (or head) gives you the opportunity to break the limb or tear or dislocate the joint capsule.
It also provides leverage to throw down the attacker to the ground causing further damage and pain and immobilisation.
Body Dynamics.
This is the tying together of your body balance, breathing, momentum, timing and energy as you apply the action techniques.
Using all these methods together we get a system that is flexible to the situation encountered and very effective against unarmed and armed
attackers.
We also have a sub-layer of gentler actions for use at weddings and family parties etc.
Notice the complete lack of any sporting aspects!
We will examine later in this website/training manual each of these groups of techniques in great detail, both separately and in combination, and
the further explanations of how and why we apply them, and also the psychological aspects of confrontation.
Looking forward to training with you in our version of martial arts.
