Atemi & Kuatsu Vital Points DVD by Raul Gutierrez

Vital points are among the least explored subjects in martial arts instruction. Although they are occasionally mentioned in manuals, they have rarely been examined in the depth they deserve. Closely connected to this knowledge are the ancient resuscitation methods known as Kuatsu, an equally important but often overlooked discipline.

The reason is simple: this is a subject that leaves no room for guesswork or oversimplification. Teaching it responsibly requires extensive experience, technical precision, and a deep understanding of both martial arts and human anatomy.

In this groundbreaking instructional, two recognized authorities—Raúl Gutiérrez (8th Dan, Kosho Ryu Kenpo) and Dr. Agustín Moneo (6th Dan, Judo and Ju-Jitsu)—share their expertise to fill a long-standing gap in martial arts education.

Attack and Resuscitation: Vital Points

This comprehensive program explores the location of the body's key vital points, their practical application in self-defense, the physiological effects they produce, and the proper Kuatsu resuscitation techniques used to restore normal bodily function.

Beyond demonstrating effective techniques, the instructors emphasize the responsibility that comes with this knowledge. Every martial artist should understand not only how to apply vital point techniques, but also how to respond when an injury occurs. Proper first aid and resuscitation can make the difference between life and death.

The instructors also address the practical, ethical, and legal aspects of vital point training, providing clear guidance on when and how to intervene, as well as the responsibilities involved in applying these methods safely and responsibly.
