Isshinryu Kata Kusanku

Kusanku isn’t just a form—it’s a fight.

Within the flowing, elevated movements of Kusanku, Isshin-Ryu conceals a complete battlefield system: pressure point targeting, structural takedowns, and energetic knockouts. But most practitioners never learn how to access what’s really there.

In this comprehensive breakdown, Grandmaster Rick Moneymaker exposes the scientific structure behind the Isshin-Ryu version of Kusanku. Using decades of experience in Dragon Society International pressure point science, Rick teaches how to apply each movement for real-world combat—built on anatomy, meridian theory, and internal energy flow.
