You have the mistaken idea that Kyusho-Jitsu is a style, or school of martial arts. It is part of the higgher level training in any traditional style of karate. It is not something that you can just teach as a stand alone art. To make it work, you must have developed a high level of martial arts skills as well as knowledge of the human body. It is not a magic bullet. It does not work well on about 30% of the population. There are very few instructors that teach the real Kyusho and Tuite. Of those that do they rarely if ever teach it to those that don't train with them. I began training in 1967. The word Kyusho was something I never heard or read about until the 1980's. It was not known by most high level martial artists until about that time. Many of the high level Asians were not taught the techniques themselves. Seiyu Oyata began to talk about it and teach it in the 1970's. The word spread. Like most other things many people now claim to have learned it. Many of these guys are con artist. Some are teaching techniques that are not correct. Bottom line is that you can't find a school that teaches just Kyusho-Jitsu and Tuite-Jitsu. It is just not done that way. TO CLARIFY ..... Most people incorrectly use the term Kyusho or Kyusho-Jitsu. That is only half of what they are referring to. Kyusho-Jitsu is Vital point striking. Tuite-Jitsu is the grappling techniques that also use pressure points.
