Mr. Tatum on draining KI from one's meridians

(recently posted on Mr. Tatum's Facebook page as a follow up to his Stance Set 2 post)

In short, as KI passes through the body there are times when with the correct weapon one can channel the direction of KI or disrupt it in certain moments when one is engaged, but this is highly sophisticated and is only effective at the right time when the attacker is in a moment of reset or weakened. 

The type of Reiki is not passive but a very strong and purposeful application of your natural weapons. In some of the techniques, there are Clawing and or ripping that tear at the cluster of Meridian points much like intersections throughout the body that are vulnerable but only at the right moment. 

When I say right moment, I'm not talking about a standing still compliant student as you most likely have seen online that drops at the slightest touch but with a very harsh striking force that fellows the "Algorithms" of the body's nerve system which can affect other internal organs. 

Many techniques in the system follow this related structure of the Algorithm's paths and patterns. It is a fascinating study of the kenpo we have at our disposal. The use of this type of mastery is supported by several pretexted moves that activate the targets so they will comply with this method of striking. 

If you look at my daughter striking the inside of my arm with her elbow, then the heel palm you will see her allow her fingers to grasp the bicep and grasp the nerves over and around the bicep, but the strike of the elbow and then the palm heel activated or deactivated the use of the Bicep. This was and has been somewhat of an elusive art within an Art (kenpo) that is fascinating and gives one another edge to their training.

If you look at an overhead claw in use it may strike the bridge of the nose and then the fingers to the eyes, but then notice how the path of action continues down the torso, raking the chest and even down the stomach, (checking his height) in the process. When it reaches the point of no contact then there is an upward groin strike buy this downward rake has made it even more reactive to the strike. Because you have hampered the relay process to the last target. In this photo see where you can place your fingers on the meridian lines and how they spread out across the face the neck and the chest.
