How to study warriorlike liberal arts "insistency indicates"

Introduction


The traditional definition of a pressure point is a point that, when pressure is


applied, produces crippling pain. This is learnt in a chinese martial art called Dim Mak


based on accupuntual pressure points,but this art is very restricted and needs and

understanding of chinese accupunturual points.Because of this I can only provide information


on on fragile areas that we'll call vulnerable points. This is used to exploit a weakness or


vulnerability in the human body to gain an advantage over an opponent. When using these


pressure points one must be particularly careful as it is easy to kill someone accidentally,


such as a friend or even an enemy. At that point, you enter the legal system, which


generally does not know if you were really defending yourself or were actually the


aggressor, and in some cases, that may not even matter. This leads to the point that, more


important than the technique, is the mindset that you use in training, which is, of course a


personal philosophical decision, but one which requires much thought and consideration of


when what you practice must be put to use.

1 .Very vulnerable areas: These are things everyone knows. The eyes, the testicles, the

shins, etc. Use kicks that use the wide of your foot for the shins (if you know them) as

they will make it harder to miss. Pull your foot back quickly when kicking to the groin so

your foot won't be caught. The nose is easily broken with any strike.

2 .Forehead: Striking the flat of the forehead forces the head back with little resistance

and will actually rock the brain within the skull, causing a concussion, or worse. Beginners

should use the heel of their palm, rather than a fist. The same holds true to the back of

the skull, just below the horizontal ridge. (The front has one too, above the flat.) The

ridges are strong enough to be used as weapons in their own right, so avoid them.

3  .Shoulder: You are looking for the collar bone, once located jab fingers behind bone and

force to the ground (this needs to be performed within about 1/4 second in an actual

assault). Some people drop like a rock while others just look at you like you're an idiot.


4 .Throat: The easiest way to strike is probably with a knife hand (karate chop) turned up

side down. A fist will have trouble fitting between the jaw and collarbone. You can also

grab and squeeze the throat, and even give it a good yank to dislocate it and make breathing

impossible. That is, of course, quite lethal and should be used only as a last resort when

there is no other alternative.

5 .nder the jaw: Grab the neck on the front and reach under the jaw. Squeeze while pressing

upward.
6TMJ: Support the head with one hand. With the other, follow the jawline to the highest

point, just under the ear, where it meets the bump in your skull. Apply pressure inward and

upward towards your ear. This is painful and makes speaking very difficult. If possible, a

person will try to move away from it, hence the supporting hand. A single-knuckle punch (the

second middle finger knuckle) to this spot could dislocate the jaw.
