In 'Hidden Gates', Christian Russo, a master of Shinobi Dō jūjutsu and an avid scholar, unveils the mystery surrounding vital points, or kyūsho, one of the most fascinating and misunderstood aspects of martial arts. This practical and detailed guide aims to illuminate the path for those who wish to deepen their knowledge and understanding of these evocative techniques, offering a new perspective on how to enhance effectiveness and precision in combat. Originating as a compendium of thematic seminars held by the author in 2023, the book takes the reader on a journey through the philosophy and practical application of kyūsho, exploring not only their locations and activation methods but also the profound impact they can have on daily martial practice. From Japanese jūjutsu to boxing, kyūsho underpin every fighting discipline. Historical research, technical analysis, and personal reflections give life to a text that is indispensable both for novices and expert practitioners, enriched with detailed illustrations that guide in locating and stimulating these hidden points.
This book is more than just a guide: it is an invitation to explore the deeper layers of martial arts, encouraging the reader to reflect on the meanings of strength, control, and the responsibility that comes with the knowledge of such powerful tools. Prepare to cross a hidden threshold and to attain one of the most exclusive insights into martial arts. Christian Russo was born and lives in Turin. He has been practicing Japanese martial arts since 1993 and today teaches at his dojo, the Kinshinden. He is an avid scholar of martial arts history and a collector of kakushi-buki, the 'hidden weapons' of Japanese warriors.
