Nice. I've seen some concepts like that before, using that point on the arm. I don't recall the name of that pressure point, but it can be useful at times. Its such a small point to hit, though.

Nice tutorial; as always!!

The thing about the pressure point, is that it's also not a guarantee for a varied reasons. Still, nothing ventured, nothing gained!!

True, you may not hit the point, but striking the arm in that manner will surely remove it as an obstruction, opening the path to send your strike home. Getting pain off the strike is just bonus coverage.

That's absolutely correct. After all, you only need to open up enough space in order to reach the target with whichever hand/foot/etc. that you desire.

Good technique (Thanks for sharing the video) distracting and controlling the opponent by hitting a pressure point.

The term 'limb destruction' isn't an accurate enough term (for me personally) to describe the technique, it seems misleading.

I would describe it more as a 'pressure point setup' technique.

Limb destruction techniques are intended to be very damaging and painful!

Limb destruction techniques can also be very advantages in grappling situation. Utilizing the ground helping to pin the opponent's limbs in any number of ways using hands, knees and feet.

Reality based combative styles can take full advantage of using limb destruction techniques. A long range strategy than can set up the opponent for close range attacks or controlling limb techniques and or takedowns/throws.

Limb destruction techniques are usually the focus or intent of the attack, so as to damage or render the limbs of the opponent to a point that they don't function as well as they should; in doing so ends the fight!

Limb destruction techniques work well against those that (have an advantage of reach) use fists that target the head or body while the closes target for the limb destroyer are generally the opponent's hands and arms.

Limb destruction techniques target pressure points and joints. Also target strikes and blows to muscles and bones.

Limb destruction techniques work well for the initial contact of a fight as limbs are generally an easy target.

Also limb destruction techniques work well against knife or weapon attacks because the attacker will have difficulty continuing an attack with nerve damaged limbs.

Many martial artist may never have felt or experienced a nerve destruction technique. Hitting a nerve correctly with sufficient force can cause a person to become unconscious, also can cause a person's arm to go into an uncontrollable spasm.

Or deaden an arm temporarily enabling a (countering) follow up with a variety of techniques which the second video shows accurately (Thanks again for sharing)
