elbow question - 06/05/03 01:59 PM
I study hapkido and we talk about pressure points a little bit but we don't have a designation system. I was hoping someone on this list could answer a few qustions.
Okay, first of all, take your right hand and put it underneath your left elbow. Now move it a little closer to your armpit. The thumb of your right hand should be right on the elbow joint. Underneath your thumb there is a pressure point. What is it called? What can you tell me about it?
Years ago I took a hard , sharp impact on that point. It was not in a MA class; it was completely by accident. When it happened my arm was completely paralysed by the impact. I could not move it at all. This lasted for about two seconds then my arm began to recover. But, I did not get full recovery until about eight seconds after impact.
Does anyone know of a point that can paralyse a leg?
