Right. Nope. Shitojutsu is the old name for what Gyokko Ryu teaches (renamed as Kosshijutsu by Sogyokkan Ritsushi, the 12th head of the Ryu). Kosshijutsu is not the attacking of nerves and muscles, that's an oversimplification and an inaccurate one, as there's plenty within Gyokko Ryu that simply doesn't do that. And no, that's not what I was getting at either....
My experience with gyokko ryu is in the kihon happo, joryaku no maki, and some muto dori. Kosshijutsu I have experimented with is performed by striking kyusho with various fists. If there is more to koshijutsu than striking kyusho would you mind helping me figure out what that is? What else do you believe I should be looking for?
