I found some great pressure point videos at http://www.thespeedman.com The video is called "Secrets of Devastation Enhancement."

 

By the way, :smile:-: I agree that pressure points can be hard, but it depends on how you look at it. Yes, there are 360 points. There are many on the forearm alone. However, I generally stick to 6 on the forearm that I can hit a lot easier than the rest. Yes, each point is different, depending on the angle and type of strike. There can be a lot to it, but pressure points can be simplified.

Here's a nice website, but keep in mind that you need a good instructor, nothing less, to teach you properly:

That's a chart of the points. For info on the system:

Browse around, you'll find pressure point fighting somewhere in there.

 

And yes, I agree that pressure point fighting can be simplified, but like all things, there are two levels of it: structure and substance. You can simply learn some effective strikes and be able to get out of a bad situation, which would be substance. Or you could learn the methods behind it, its philosophies, etc, and become a master of it, being able to apply it for any situation. That would be structure. Although structure is superior to mere substance, it's understandable that convinience is a factor, too. Anyone can learn a few good pressure points and have their fighting ability drastically improved. But like I said before, you MUST find a good instructor, and you MUST have a feel for the human body, because nerves shift under the skin, and you have to know exactly what you're doing.

Considering the sheer number of pressure points there are supposed to be I'm amazed that its possible to hit someone and not hit one of their pressure points.

The problem is that they're not always right by the skin. A lot of the time, you have to push down, sort of cut them off the way you cut off water from a hose. Your opponent doesn't feel it right away, but it quickly builds up into a sharp, piercing pain. Before I knew what I was doing with pressure points, I accidentally finished an opponent with one rather dramatically (this was several years back). I brushed against the guy's left side with a glancing blow, thinking I hadn't done much damage. He sort of flinched, but regained composure. As we circled, he just sort of went loose and fell straight over on his face. Until my sensei explained, I didn't even know what the f*ck I had done, and that's what really got me interested in pressure points. They're not easy to do, by any means, but they're a great addition to any martial art, expecially grappling arts.

Thanx :grin:

 

Ya, Kyusho-Jutsu is really poular down here; they teach it to cops and in a lot of self-defense classes. Eagle Claw is another good style, but it's pretty hard to learn. The advantage? Being able to tear holes through people with your fingers.

 

Morbid, no?
