Some pressure points are used by grabbing (ex, akilles tendon, genitals), others are from striking (ex, temple), while others are leverage/compression points (ex, choking the neck or manipulating fingers). They're not just little pinches like you see in the movies.

There are, naturally, weaknesses in the human anatomy. Did you even read my post? I say pick up Gray's Anatomy...instead of buying into the mysticism crap. Yes, if you kick somebody on the inside of the thigh you can **** up the sciatic nerve and make it so they have trouble walking, you can stomp or knee the coccyx to try and break it from the rest of the sacrum, you can hit somebody in the genitals or perineal to **** them up, solar plexus to make them lose their wind or maybe stop their heart if they're at a predisposition to that type of shit...a strike to the temple is actually a misconception, and the skull is actually a little thicker around there. You can, if you have a really good grip, rupture the brachial artery, and you can seperate small muscle groups with your fingers. These are not "pressure points", but rather realisitc vital targets and methods. Simple shit, like if I pop you in the nose, it will start to bleed and your eyes will most likely water up, or if you hit somebody the right way in the chin or on the side of their jaw you can get a flash knock out. It's all kinesiology and anatomy, baby...not let me interrupt your chi from 3 feet, or push my thumb to your meridian and while you pummel me with haymakers.
These things I promote are realistic...poking somebody in the chest with two fingers and having them die in three days or pushing the air around their body and causing them to feint...i.e. Dillman's so-called no-touch knock outs, are complete bollocks, and should be regarded with the utmost distain.
Aigh't... did I clear that up...vital targets which provisionally accepted medical and anatomical fields, as well as most legit martial arts, combatives, and combat sports, not hokey "pressure point" ass mubo jumbo.
