Produktbeschreibung
The vital points of the body (kyusho) are important in Japanese martial arts. How and where to strike the points (atemi) and the effects of striking them were originally kept secret. However, in the past 100 years, information on these points has become widely available, allowing them to be compared among sources. A 1977 descriptive review of 35 martial arts books identified 226 alleged vital points, most with information on their location, Japanese names, and sometimes with claims of the effects of striking them. Listing the points alphabetically and by source and anatomical location reveals similarities, differences, and probable errors, as well as the degree of agreement of sources for each point. This edition adds some more authoritative research findings and some information on medical aspects.

Autorenporträt
I began practicing Danzan Ryu (Kodenkan) Jujutsu in 1971. I was promoted to 4th-degree black belt in Danzan Ryu by the American Judo and Jujitsu Federation (AJJF) in 1987 and was recognized as a 5th-degree black belt by the Pacific Jujutsu Alliance (PJA) in 2009 and as a 6th-degree black belt Professor by the Shoshin Ryu Yudanshakai in 2019. For several years, I studied Muso Shinden Ryu Iaido and Aikijo (the 4-foot staff) with Sensei Don Zier, who is the author of Japanese sword drawing: A source book for Iaido students, and of Jo, The Japanese Short Staff. I received a 2nd-degree black belt from the All Japan Kendo Federation's iaido group in Southern California in 1983. I trained in the Filipino martial arts under several instructors, most notably Mr. Tim Tackett of Redlands, California.
