A detailed look at the landmark cases in the UK and the USA and the main differences in the laws as regards self defense.
As a world leader in pressure point fighting, a 7th Dan in Karate Jutsu, and a National Boxing Coach for Cambodia, I’ve spent decades honing the art of combat into a science. I’ve trained fighters, law enforcement officers, and martial artists across the globe - earning accolades like Instructor of the Year in the Martial Arts Hall of Fame (2000) and induction into the Combat Hall of Fame (2001).
Let’s face it: you’ve seen it happen. You’ve probably even felt it yourself. You’re in the dojo or gym, grinding through a drill - 10 kicks with the right leg, 10 with the left, then swap with your partner. Halfway through, your mind drifts.
Hello there. Let me talk to you about something that’s absolutely vital for your development in martial arts, sports combat, and, of course, for self-defense: sparring. Now, when I say sparring, I don't mean that you go hell for leather, trying to knock each other out every single time. Not at all. There are different types of sparring, each with its own purpose, but I have to stress this: sparring is vitally important. Without it, how else do you know that what you're doing is actually going to work?
When it comes to martial arts and self-defense, the ability to move effectively, evade danger, and maintain a position of control is non-negotiable. As someone who’s spent decades refining combat systems—earning accolades like Martial Arts Hall of Fame Instructor of the Year (2000) and a Combat Hall of Fame induction (2001)—I’ve seen firsthand how proper movement can turn the tide in any confrontation. Whether you’re a seasoned martial artist or a man over 40 looking to sharpen your self-defense skills, training your body to flow between defense and offense is a game-changer.
When most people hear the word "intensity" in the context of martial arts or self-defense training, they picture sweat-drenched fighters throwing rapid-fire punches, grunting through grueling sparring sessions, or pushing their bodies to the brink of exhaustion. While physical exertion is part of the equation, true intensity in training goes far beyond just "going hard and fast."
A powerful strike is wasted if it doesn’t land where it counts. Today, I’m going to show you how to train for pinpoint precision, why it makes every strike exponentially more effective, and share some of my favorite target areas to get you started - GB20, ST4, and ST25. Let’s dive in.
If you’ve ever studied pressure point fighting, you’ve likely encountered the charts - those neatly drawn diagrams with dots and lines mapping out the "magic spots" on the human body. You’ve probably tried pressing or striking those points, expecting a dramatic reaction, only to be met with a shrug or a puzzled look from your training partner. Sound familiar? You’re not alone. For decades, martial artists and self-defense enthusiasts have fallen into the same trap: treating pressure points like surface-level buttons to push, rather than the deep, complex targets they truly are.
