Pressure point study notes and training considerations.
Attacking pressure points can generate several possible effects on the body, depending on the method of attack and individual factors such as body type, susceptibility and even mental attitude. Below is a list of possible reactions from pressure point application.
Nothing in this world is guaranteed and this especially applies to pressure point application. Attacking pressure points requires very precise targeting, and depends on angle of attack. If your targeting is off or the angle of attack is wrong the point will be unaffected.
However, sometimes power can overcome minor inaccuracies in your technique. In a combat situation there are many variables: movement of the opponent, clothing and demeanor of the attacker all influence your ability to accurately hit anything.
It is easy to find points on yourself or a willing partner. But it is very different when the quarter size target is moving rapidly, covered by clothing and is trying to rip your head off. So let's keep that in mind when training.
