hey...

first of all u should relax; too many kids go sign up for a martial arts class bcuz they r gettin' bullied or picked on.what martial arts was orignally designed for was discipline and every1 should know this. what I say is for ur protection.If u go sign up for a martial arts class there r 3 outcomes.1:u would get into a fight and panick do to ur lack of exp.2:u would win the fight and end up bcoming the bully or 3:u can put ur true skills to the test and avoid all fighting whatsoever.I never understood why people want to fight other people.I can understand for sport but this is ridiculous.u should avoid fight at all costs violence just begets violence.if u do get into a fight walk away that is the ultimate way to live be not bothered by any outside experiences but focus on the path ahead of you.BUT IF YOU HAVE TO FIGHT what u should do is work on ur speed so u can dodge ur oppponents atks and leave him stumped as to ur skill that way u impress every1 and u dont have to lay a finger on ne1

plz take my advice.Its the way the world should be run...

Try this, punch him in the face first and then kick him in the groin. That will work. The problem is not the target, but your telegraphed move. The groin is VERY easy to attack. In a couple of days I will have an example on my web site. Check out what I mean. There are many different ways to attack vital strike points besides the obvious.Ed www.lonewolfjujutsu.com [/QUOTE]

I back that up 100%. Kicking someone in the balls is a sign of weakness, and should only ONLY be ur last resort.

Okay, limit your techniques. What happens in the UFC? What will most martial arts and self defense instructors say?

You will get yourself flogged, and the muggers won't care about chivalry when you are down, I think they will be quite comfortable to kick you when you are down, head, back, groin, all legitiamte targets.

PS

An grammatically challenged child like you has some nerve telling a HTH combat instructor and veteran commando not to kick to the groin in a fight. Ask him about real combat, and being scared. I am sure Ed will tell you what it's really about.

PS What gives you the right to call other people here pussies? Some of them are MMA trainers and martial artists for 30-40 years. Ignorant fool.

[QUOTE]There is no surefire pressure point you can use against someone. at most I can say that there's a 85% chance of it working each time. [/QUOTE]

You can attack the solar plexus,the kidneys and the liver.They are all types of pressure point.To say there is only 85% chance of it working is utter nonesense.

If you get punched in the solar plexus you'll drop.
The liver is harder to hit because its placed near the ribcage but if you are hit there also you will go down.
The kidneys does not need explaining.If you get hit hard enough on either side you'll be passing blood for a day or two.
Thighs,throat and behind the kness are pressure points.

People think a pressure point is something you just press with your baby finger and your opponent/aggressor just turns into a heap of jelly and falls on the floor but its simply not the case.There are hidden points but the ones I have mentioned work just as well when it comes to immobilizing a threat.

Hey all,

Just my second post here, so am a newbie in these parts. My 2 cents here:

Totally with York Karate.

The DKI is a very important organization in the spreading of PP knowledge in the West. Dillman and his instructors (of which I have trained with Evan Pantazi) are fantastic martial artists.

SOOO many people jump on the PP bandwagon and think they know what they are doing, even start teaching it!!!

1. If someone only mentions body parts, i.e "there's one on the temple", theu DO NOT know PP's. PRESSURE POINTS, not VITAL POINTS, just as York Karate has stated. PP's are junctions on meridians an are annotated by the meridian name and a number e.g. TW-17 (cos I love that point!).

2. Baigin, yes these points can TOTALLY be mapped scientifically. That's what acupuncture is based on!!! The meridian system is very much mapped and concrete, and soon, Qi flow, in its bioelectric state will be proved medically also.

3. The more complex systems of 5 elements (Wu-Xing), polarity, sound projection, NTKO's etc are harder to grasp, but totally exist.

There's too much info on Dim Mak/Dian Xue/Kyusho-Jitsu to put it all down, but THAT is real PP work, and is what has been issing from real Karate for years after WWII.


Mark.
