hey guys. any tips on disabling someones arm whos about to attack you?
the two that i know is that if they have punched, you punch them right in the elbow on the inside where it bends
another is getting the shoulder, with a punch or spearhand
any others people can add or correct mine?

Of course it depends on the angle and the type of punch coming at you but my favorite is punch straight into P2 or NUE 9 and second choice is raking the P meridian on the lower forearm with my forearm raking toward the fingers. Both give uke an electric shock buzz that stuns and robs strength from the arm for long enough to let you exploit the advantage. Is that what you are looking for?

Being short I have always loved to attack whatever my opponent is throwing at me, but it really depends on the situation.

Against a jab (especially those lazy ones used to measure distance) I attack the inside of the wrist. I don't usually think of any point specifically because there are so many in that area to choose from: L7, L8, L9, P5, P6, P7, H4, H5, H6, & H7. You’re bound to hit something.

Against a grab I go for the inside of the elbow: P3 or L5. A good shot to this area can take an opponent to the ground.

But my favorite attack to the arm is LI10. I got hit in this area so hard one time I couldn't pickup anything with that hand for two days.

Some people like to strike in the area of L1 and L2 but why? If I'm that close to him then I probably passed up a chance to hit something more vital. Of course if you’re a person with longer reach you may like that one.

But like I said it depends on the situation. Everyone seems to have their favorites.

Heart 2 is my favourite, with a pheonix eye fist cutting through and down on a 45 degree angle toward the outside.

Sounds more like you people are attacking the alphabet. Do you think that the person who asked the question knows the points you people referred to???

Are there any sites with pics ? or a tutorial with a detailed descriptions and pics?

Pics of the points and their locations can be found on several acupuncture sights.

They will show you the point location, but because acupuncture is for healing, they will not explain activation, nor will they explain angle and direction for striking or grappling.

You can also check out Kyusho.com for charts and Evan has a tape on points (Level Two)of the arm...what is different about this tape is it shows you how to hit in motion disabling the arm.

Let me know what you think?

cheers for that
the charts were a great help
dont know if i want to go and buy a video though. im not really getting that seriously into it. thanks anyway

Kuma the second link you sent says that the spleen meridian can stop bleeding,do you know that this is possible,why or how it works?
