This Animated Chart of the body’s weak points according to the Takagi Yoshin Ryu. Is meant as a reference material to those people who are Practicing Bujinkan Takagi Yoshin Ryu, But my also be of interest to others training Martial Arts who are in need of an “Accurate” Chart of points.

The “Kyusho” (weak and Lethal points) of the Martial Arts have to be understood because they differ from healing points (”Tsubo”) used in Acupuncture and Shiatsu. The learning and eventual mastering, Involves experience, both in using on others as well as having it used on oneself by others.

The effectiveness will undoubtedly differ from person to person, so be aware that there are some people who will feel absolutely no pain in some points and a lot in others, in which case the solution is taught only by word of mouth.

Further more Learning Kyusho points is more than a Matter of looking at a chart and knowing where the points are,

You have to be shown the application by some who have spent many years actually striking and pressing the points,
The Kyusho points must be strike in the right direction and with the right body weapon,

The next stage is to be able to hit the points while moving in combat this takes years of practise!

The stage after that is to be able to strike the points in combat in complete darkness then you Know that you can Always get them!

Overall I have been training in Kyusho for over 32 years and I am still learning about them!

Note although great care has been taken to give the correct names to the points the names of Kyusho points may differ according to peoples notes.

Note: Let me state here and now that these charts have nothing to do with “DimMak These charts show “Atemi” striking points that cause (Nerve) Pain, Muscle spasms and Bone breaks (in Some Cases) They are physiological! (Nerves, Muscles, Tendon insertion points and bones )
These Charts are just Where to Hit! that’s all.

For example: if you punch at me.. I Don’t block it, I counter by punching the “ulnae” nerve on the arm thus rendering it (the arm) numb….. IF I hit it right, It’s physiological!
