Has anyone heard of nerve cutting??

 

I heard its an art in which the artist learns of nerves and attacks the nerves in a fight and just takes the person out.

[PhDPeddler]

About 2 weeks ago "cutting" was used but not on nerves. We used it as a half block and also to move the object (arm) where we wanted in a fast motion.

the only time i have seen 'nerve cutting' is in fantasy books (some of which have been made into films).

 

oops, i think i just answered another little question there....

'cutting' in chinese systems is an act of deep penetration or massive surface disruption/bruising.

.......i mentioned the fantasy books because the only time i have ever heard of nerves being cut/severed is in reference to something called (translated into the closest english i can think of)

 

"nine evils, white bone claw"

 

techniques from which were said to be able to cut/sever nerves.

 

disruption/bruising is 'dar' or 'por'.

 

i can't off the top of my heard think of what the cantonese for cutting, in this instance, might be.

 

in the cases in which i have heard of cutting in this sense (i.e from the books), the effects were permenant due to the type of damamge it is suppposed to inflict.

thankyou, kind sir, for the clarification.

 

perhaps i just brainfarted.

you referring to "grappler baki"? The main villain in it could sever nerves.

'cutting' in chinese systems is an act of deep penetration or massive surface disruption/bruising. it is like the famed 'dim mak'. or spock's nerve pinch. the concept is similar to Mantis style's approach to point striking: striking in certain places has certain, usually temporary effects.

 

it is difficult to learn and requires a relativly high degree of skill, speed and acuracy.

 

It is also used to describe sweeping motions, a la shuai chiao's diagonal cut.

[Drunken Monkey]

grappler baki?

 

um, can't say i've heard of that.

 

the stories i'm talking about are chinese fantasy stuff that has in it,

 

kung fu techniques based on real and legendary styles.

 

the 9 evils white bone claw thing is based on eagle claw fused with bagua (albeit a twisted version).

 

it is said to be an ancient shaolin technique and hence explains part of the fued between shaolin and wudang.

 

(a wudang hero was crippled by a masked man who used that technique that could've only come from shaolin)

 

and in the cantonese texts, the word used for the thing that was 'cut' was 'gung' (sounds like 'young').

 

this word is used for vein, artery, tendon and nerve.

 

the 'technique' i mentioned above is supposed to be a sharp/shocking/jerking/twisting motion after a grab (eagle claw+bagua) that 'tears' tendons hence crippling the victim.

 

(those of you that know chin-na can see where this idea came from....)

 

it wasn't a hitting attack and so isn't a disrupting/bruising thing.

 

hitting/bruising would be 'dim mak/dar mak/por mak' (or even 'bei hei').

 

the thing you guys are describing seem to be closer to 'jong' (sounds like 'bong') which more or less translates to 'ram into in'.

 

as you make the movement, the intent is to 'cut off' his movement as well as making a strike towards a weaker point on the arm/body/leg.

 

think biu gee from wing chun when used to receive or the rising elbow type movement from silat;

 

there's a degree of 'shock' involved with these.

 

is this what the shuai chiao's is like?

[SevenStar]

grappler baki is an anime that came out several years ago. baki is something of an mma - an underground fighter who strikes and grapples. the other guy studied some other style and his special technique was severing tendons. baki actually beat the guy by snapping his arm with an arm bar.

 

"the thing you guys are describing seem to be closer to 'jong' (sounds like 'bong') which more or less translates to 'ram into in'.

it can be viewed in that manner. It's similar in execution to judo's o soto gari. the "cut" is your leg cutting through their base, sweeping them to the ground. the sweep is complimented with a strike or push to their upper body.
