I was wondering if any of you know what is the name of the first kata for kyusho jitsu. Also if possible a link to a site where it shows how this kata can be done.

Thank you,
J.

What are you talking about? I think every kata contains kyusho. Are you maybe talking about Erle Montaigue`s dim mak katas?

Completely off topic, but Erle has posted up a video on the whole Yang Cheng Fu form on his site here. It's the files YCF1.ASF onwards. There's also a series of pushing hands clips that he has done. Just in case your interested!

Kosh Kyusho Jitsu is pressure point fighting. They are using teachings from DKI ( Dillman Karate institution). I don't know about much about it thats why I wanted to know what is the name of thier first kata.

Isn't Kyusho Jitsu Ryukyu Kempo? I think it is. Raul Perez trains at one. I think the beginner kata are the heian/pinan series.

Sanchin31,

Ryukyu Kempo is not Kyusho Jitsu. Kyusho Jitsu is the Okinawan's combative art of vital point striking (contained within Ryukyu Kempo). Notice that I used the term vital point striking and not pressure point striking. Pressure points are interwoven within Kyusho Jitsu but are not the only thing in Kyusho Jitsu. The eyes are a vital point but not a pressure point for example.

Ryukyu Kempo is many things not just Kyusho Jitsu.

And the introductory katas are the Naihanchi series (Shodan, Nidan, Sandan).

Kind regards,

Raul

Thanks Raul! That's what I get for thinking out loud.

Ok thanks for the replies, to confirm I will make a trip to a kyusho Jitsu place next week hopefully and find out and post it here.

Ok I found on the name of the first kata of Kyusho Jitsu. The name of it is, Taikyoku Shodan!

A Shotokan Kata from my recollection.
