Pressure points - 07/27/07 03:29 PM

I went through some of the pressure points on one of the websites posted... showing me where alot of pressure points are and the effects of them...

Now, for example one pressure point says something about breathing, what would I have to do to that particular pressur point in order to make it effective?

Punch it? Press it? What?

They are really playing with you and being polite, really you can't learn Merdian training over a website. PP training is fairly advance training and without a Instructor you are wasting your time.

Learn th basic like the rest of us, then progress to fighting then advance training.

If you want to learn to fight quickly learn to box. Boxing isn't easy, you have dust your bottom off a lot to learn it but its simpler and quicker then learning Dim Mak(how to use PP to fight and heal). Boxing basic principles will help you defend and counter. Being good at it takes lots of hard work and a bring some to get some attitude.

Most MAs teach you to maim and that takes along time because you must be trusted with this information.

Maybe the solar plexus is what thinking of...hit a person there and it will alter their breathing. Is that the kind of PP your refering to? A more direct approach would be a sudo strike to a person throat...that would have an effect on a person breathing rather quickly.

it's still a question that can really only be answered through qualified training. Some pp's require striking, pressing, rubbing, grinding, etc. It depends on the point itself, what you're intending to ilicit from the action, etc. ( eg: healing, hurting, stunning, maiming )

You're just not gonna get the info you want from a forum.

Sorry man

Wow, 14 minutes is a long time to wait to bump a topic. The patience required must have taken great inner strength.

Try reading the pressure points section on this site for a BUNCH of info on how to get started. Lots of good people there.

It depends on the point you are attacking.

Some are strike points, some are rub points, some have to be attacked from certain angles to be effective.

And as Neko has already said, you cant really learn this stuff here, you need to go and DO it under the guidance of an instructor.

Best then that you go on a course about PP or at least read the section on the forum that covers them.
