      Why this book

      The purpose of this book is to give back some of the information I have collected over the years, as people have asked me questions. So I guess you can look at it as an extended ‘Frequently Asked Questions’.

      Simply by asking questions people have made me think about things which thus helps me learn. This book is intended to return that favor and hopefully start you thinking about subjects in ways that you had not previously.

      Please be aware that this book is not intended to be the definitive and final answer on any specific subject. In fact it references rather than repeats material found in my other texts. However the answers do contain a lot of information and insight that have not found their way into any of my books, videos or DVD … for many reasons (mostly lack of time to expand on the subject).

      So I think you may find some useful material here. However the last warning I will give is that some of this material was put together from years past and I have updated my viewpoint and expanded my knowledge base in many of these answers. That does not mean the answers are invalid just that Quan Li K’an is evolving.

      I hope you find the time you spend reading this worthwhile. And I would appreciate any (non vulgar) feedback you might give.

      BTW I removed the names of those asking the questions to protect their privacy…

      Bruce.

      Questions lead to Knowledge

      ************

      It is not the boulders, which make up the beach

      But the tiny grains added together which make up the whole.

      ************

      Q: I have been studying Acupuncture points for quite some time. I have noticed that many times when I accidentally miss the point I am aiming at but strike a point close to an Acupuncture point I still get an effect.

      A: This is a question which I repeatedly get asked. So I am going to answer it in two parts. The first part is that Acupuncture or acupressure points have been defined for medical uses. The MEDICAL effects you produce at these points are very real, but they do not happen quickly. The acupuncturist must repeatedly stimulate the specific points, usually by twirling the needles which have been inserted, or using low voltage electricity. Even then it takes between 15 minutes to several hours of stimulation depending on the effect you are trying to get.

      Martial arts techniques, on the other hand, are seldom any good if they do not work immediately. Therefore, the stimulation of so-called acupressure/acupuncture points are worthless unless they are accompanied by a pain response. This pain response has nothing to do with the Acupuncture point but rather is being caused by the body structures, which are located below or around the Acupuncture points. Many Acupuncture points have been chosen because the nerve plexuses can be stimulated at these locations with only a minimal amount of pain being produced.

      Despite the hoopla and fan-fare Acupuncture points are not very useful to martial artists for self-defense. They were designed for medical uses and work well only for that. Those who tell you differently are those who do not really understand medicine and are palming off an incomplete knowledge base!

      ************

      Q: Is every Acupuncture point a nerve point?

      A: Yes, in the fact that you are actually stimulating small nerve plexus at these Acupuncture points. It is the nerve impulses which are carried to the brain and which then causes the effect which is produced. This also explains why you can stimulate an Acupuncture point in one part of the body and get an effect in a completely different point in the body.
