Go beyond form and into the fight. In Gojushiho: Kata and Pressure Points, Grandmaster Rick Moneymaker reveals the devastating pressure point applications, meridian attacks, and anatomical breakdowns hidden within this powerful kata.

Kata isn’t just choreography—it’s a map to real destruction.

Too many martial artists treat kata like a dance. But every movement, every angle, and every motion in a true kata has a purpose—often lethal.

In Gojushiho: Kata and Pressure Points, Grandmaster Rick Moneymaker guides you step-by-step through one of the most advanced and misunderstood forms in classical karate, revealing how every block, strike, and posture hides a complete combat sequence based on Traditional Chinese Medicine, Five Element Theory, and pressure point science.

You’ll learn how to interpret Gojushiho not as a routine—but as a living blueprint for joint locks, knockouts, anatomical breaks, and meridian disruption.


What You’ll Learn:

  • 🧠 Pressure Point Knockout Sequences – Identify and strike points like ST-5, LI-18, GB-20, and more for instant effects

  • 🦴 Joint Locking Hidden in Kata – How simple hand motions contain wrist locks, breaks, and spiraling takedowns

  • 🔥 Five Element Theory in Action – Apply Fire burns Metal and other energetic cycles to maximize pressure point efficiency

  • 🖐️ Hand Positions as Grappling Tools – Learn how crossing, cupping, and rolling motions reveal actual combat applications

  • ⚖️ Quadrant Theory Integration – Use the body’s four zones to optimize targeting, off-balancing, and control

  • 🦶 Leg Kicks and Meridian Strikes – When and where to kick to disrupt gallbladder, liver, and stomach meridians

  • 💥 From Kata to Combat – See how each movement tells a story: parry, strike, submit, finish


“In kata, you’re not just punching air—you’re striking anatomy, breaking structure, and disrupting the nervous system.”

Moneymaker doesn’t just teach Gojushiho—he deconstructs it. Every movement is paired with a detailed explanation of which pressure points it targets, why they work, and how to apply them with precision.

✅ Subtle grapples disguised as blocks
✅ Fire vs. Metal meridian reactions used in takedowns
