What if your second kata was your first real fight?
While most schools teach Pinan Nidan as a beginner’s form, the truth is—it’s a layered combat system filled with devastating pressure points, internal energy strategies, and scientific knockout mechanics.
In this detailed breakdown, Grandmaster Rick Moneymaker, co-founder of Dragon Society International, reveals how to read between the lines of the kata—translating every block, grab, and strike into an anatomical blueprint for pain, paralysis, or collapse. This is not theory. This is the real application of meridian science and pressure point combat, hidden in plain sight.
What You’ll Learn:
-
🧠 Neurological Shutdowns from Form – Use GB-20, ST-9, LI-18, and SI-6 for systemic collapse or unconsciousness
-
⚡ Metal Cuts Wood – How grabbing and pulling metal meridians sets up limb control, followed by devastating wood-point strikes
-
🫁 Respiratory and Circulatory Disruption – Target CV-14 and GB-27 to affect breathing, blood pressure, and structural integrity
-
🧲 Yin/Yang Energy Flow in Combat – Understand how every movement contains both hard and soft energy—balanced to overwhelm the body’s natural defense systems
-
🦴 Grappling & Latching from Kata – Apply brush-grab-strike mechanics and joint control to transform “blocks” into real-world traps
-
🔁 Fail-Safe Applications – Even if your first technique fails, the kata feeds you a backup plan built on anatomical advantage
“Every kata move is a complete lesson in human physiology—if you know how to read it.”
Included Applications:
✅ Lung meridian grabs to off-balance and collapse opponents
