KYUSHO

KYUSHO is an educational brand focused on effective and efficient self-defense, presenting the principles of traditional Kyusho-Jitsu and Dim-Mak through both traditional concepts and modern scientific perspectives. Created by Holger Schroers, the project explores how techniques associated with pressure points can be understood through anatomy, neurology, neurophysiology, biomechanics, and physics. It also examines the role of Traditional Chinese Medicine in martial arts, the nervous system and internal organs as targets, and the influence of the subconscious.

KYUSHO offers a series of books on the principles behind Dim-Mak and Kyusho-Jitsu, including a first volume on the foundations and a second volume, with reading samples, purchasing information, and updates provided for readers. Related publications under the RENSHI-DAO name include work connecting martial arts with Kijutsu and exploring the idea of a peaceful warrior. The brand also shares articles and blog posts on training, pain, learning, movement, and martial arts science. Its activities have included compact Kyusho seminars and recurring training sessions in Mönchengladbach, with updates and information published on its website.
