If you have been reading
my newsletters and self defense articles you know that I have
not been a big fan of pressure point systems. The reason is that
most systems require you hitting a precision point or in some
cases a series of points for them to have any effect.
We have found that
during an adrenal rush and under real or even simulated combat
conditions this is next to impossible to do. So I have pretty
much ignored the use of pressure point fighting in my self defense
system.
Enter Russell Stutely...
If you are not familiar
with Russell, he is Europe’s pre-eminent authority on pressure
points. After many years of study and application he is a true
master of pressure point fighting.
A while back I had
the opportunity to study Russell Stutely's wave form striking
methods which I have found to be extremely useful. The power that
can be developed using this method is totally incredible. So when
my friend from New Approach Publishing offered to send me Russell's
'Pressure Point Black' DVDs for evaluation I jumped at it.
What I found is not
only a system that really works (you have to be really careful,
even with light application in practice because the pain is so
intense) but one that can be applied under the stress of a real
attack. Yes, it works with gross motor skills!
But his Pressure Point
Black DVD set has much more. It contains what Russell calls "Technique
Enhancers" . In fact, he spends an entire DVD on these. Simple
enhancers you can easily learn to:
