Training Jedi Knight Types Lesson 7 Red Dot Robot - Part III

PART II: Quotes for Discussion

By Stephen Cheney

THE ATTACK

When a powerful threatening human is seen by you to be coming for you to do your damage or kill you: What do you do?

This defensive sequence that follows, for you to follow, is not for sudden attacks from next to you, but for attackers that you see who are farther away, and you see them because your main defensive weapon is activated: your searching radar awareness - called Zanshin.

THE DEFENCE: MIND ACTION:

When attacked by a human who is stronger, vicious, even ugly, you need to look at them differently not with your eyes but using your mind through your eyes. The mind sees what it wants to see.

1. Don’t see the human. SEE HIM AS A STEEL ROBOT.

You then immediately realize that it is futile attacking steel limbs and body. So this type of VIEWING that you deliberately CHOOSE to do: forces the mind to then look for the weak points.

Knowing where the weak Atemi Points are on the human body (see below for major ones), you must deliberately project them onto the body in front of you (takes practice).

2. Project Weak Points as GLOWING RED LIGHTS, red dots.

They are the points that you will strike at, plus other weaknesses. Striking just anywhere on the well muscled body of an Aggressor is futile.

This mind-set is a FEAR Control. For although you are aware that the enemy is dangerous to you: it is YOU who projects the points on him which are dangerous to him. Levelling somewhat the playing/ fighting field. You may not have the attacker’s immense size, or muscles and cannot compete with him in that way. However, as your eyes are vulnerable, so are his. As your throat is vulnerable, so is his, as your knees are vulnerable, so are his, as your feet are vulnerable, so are his. In basic vital weaknesses you are both the same. For you are both human and humans are vulnerable though they are the most dangerous predators on the planet.

ATEMI POINTS PROMINANT ON THE BODY

These points are well known on the internet, so martial arts secrets are mostly all exposed.
Some points however when struck, especially if struck in the correct way and with Force: can KILL. These points are DANGEROUS and should never be struck in practice with your practice partners.
This is why, in martial arts schools you train for years, say to your Black Belt, before being taught these advanced points of attack. For after years of coaching, training and supervision, you would be easily able to Pull your strikes that are on target.

So you practice a lot of attacks for accuracy to a target, but Pulled at the last instant. Some schools practice with the partners too far away to hit through a target, which does not help if the same is done in the street. To avoid that unfortunate consequence of safe training for accuracy but which only touch a surface at best: you must also practice your strikes, not stopped, but full power not on a target but through a target -- except your direction is offset and goes passed your partner without touching them, for you to get the feel of the real thing without de-accelerating and without hitting. These two forms of safe training, you can easily merge into one in the street and so hit accurately a target with full driving force all the way through the body. Proper hitting accurately with force is trained in arts like Boxing, where you also get used to the feel of getting hit and that kind of training is important in combat. Unfortunately with such training there is always damage, damage can be cumulative and non-repairable, especially if the brain is repeatedly rattled.

Power blows should be practiced on bags. Also full speed can be practiced on bags as the bags will stop the limb and prevent any damaging hyperextension. Thus you NEVER strike at a partner full speed (you can full power but slower) as when you do not hit something (partner should of course avoid the strike) you can hyperextend your leg or arm and damage the knee or elbow. Kata should be done say 75 % of your maximum speed to prevent damage. Never fully straighten your arm or leg into the air, but you can nearly do so when hitting a target. Keep a slight bend for safety.

The main Atemi Points are suitable for Close Quarter Combat; the many others are only for professionals who know how to find them. These main Atemi Points are no longer secret but are now fairly common knowledge. Therefore, what warriors NEED to know, when they already know the points: Is what points can Kill and what points can damage. In order to make the instant decision in an emotionally charged fight and meet a citizens legal obligations: a warrior needs to be TAUGHT and fully know what is a Killing attack on him/her and what is NOT a killing attack and so lesser measures can be used. It must be firmly said and taught that any blow to anyone might kill them depending on factors Not known to you such as their health level; a later stroke from a blood clot; drugs; a weak heart; a fall on a hard object.

The Atemi Points are very useful in off balancing the body and in distracting the mind. Of lesser use is their value in damaging your opponent. Of even lesser use is their value in killing an opponent. When an opponent is dead he has no more value, and neither then would you if a court finds you guilty of using force that it thinks is excessive to the danger level of the fight. You do not fight to go to jail, you fight to lessen the opponent’s violence and you fight, if need be, to survive.

The Atemi points can be better shown in diagrams on the Internet and even better from a qualified Martial Arts instructor. However, I will describe them in general:


FROM THE FRONT:

• The very Top of the Head:
This is a KILL point so not to be struck hard unless you are in the physical process of being killed by your attacker. A very hard blow smashed down on the head can kill as the brain, bouncing inside of the skull, gets raked across the bony protuberances that lie along the inside base of the skull.

• The Temple:
This is a KILL point so not to be struck hard unless you are in the physical process of being killed by your attacker. A blow to the temple can render your Attacker unconscious; but a hard blow can easily kill. The bone protecting the brain is very thin in the Temple Area. A hard strike can damage the blood vessels inside and their bleeding would kill. Stopping the bleeding would require hospital surgery, but there would not usually be enough time to get that help. Thus a blow to the Temple with a Backfist, or knuckle is only for Life or Death situations.

• The Ears:
If attacking the ears you should slap both of them at the same time. Not just one. Here shows up the principle of JuJutsu: Of moving in the direction of any Force to lessen its impact. Slap one ear and the head moves with it: lessening the impact (actors in movies roll with a punch to avoid harm; as do Boxers). So your attack needs to be a double simultaneous strike. How to deliver that when the Aggressor can so easily block your arms? You attack his ears when you are inside his arms or his arms are down; such as when he strikes low or uses his hands to grab your body.

You cup your palm and slam it into the ear with an instant flattening of the palm to force the cupped air into the ear canal. The effect can be stunning and the Aggressor also loses his balance.
