Welcome to Principles of the Grandmasters

Your Instructors, both 10th Degree Black Belt Grandmasters, have a combined knowledge of almost 100 years. Although they focus on the skill sets of Kyusho Jitsu and Tuite Jitsu (striking nerve points and grasping nerve points), each has a deep breadth of knowledge from the many arts they have studied and been exposed to.

This Community was built to help our fellow martial artists to learn, share and grow upon the knowledge they have learned in their respective dojos and schools. The main focus is on the skill sets of pressure points but we will strongly focus on the principles and concepts that are at the foundation of ALL martial arts. This community will NOT be a substitute to hands on training in a quality facility under the supervision of a qualified teacher.

We thank you for becoming a member of our Community and hope to help everyone become a better and more knowledgeable practitioner of the martial arts.
