Gavin, roll that index finger knuckle on top of the radial nerve and you can create "foot movements"... good pressure will make them dance like nothing you've seen before...  ... they seem to get "taller" too...

Yonkyo (tekubi shime) can be done on many places, but is more commonly an attack on the radial nerve 1 "cun" (approx 1") up from LU7 toward LU6.
Firstly thanks for all the excellent replies and contributions. I'm surprised, though, at the points you are referring to. I'm used to the Yonkyo "pain point" being about a hand-width's up the arm from the wrist crease which is a bit further north than the points you mention.
Using the excellent site Gavin linked to, the nearest "official" pressure points I can see to the spot I'm talking about are LU6 and LI7.
So I guess two questions - firstly does that look like the Yonkyo spot to anyone else?
Secondly a more general question - whether its for Yonkyo or not, the two spots I've outlined are very close to each other but on different meridians (I hope I've got the terminology right). Is that useful at all - does being able to manipulate two different points with one pressure add anything? I'm interested in whether this might explain why Yonkyo is quite as Bl**dy painful as it is when correctly applied.
thanks all
Shep

Nope... it's not LU6... too high. LI7 looks like a hand's width from the wrist crease, but your palm would be on the outside of the arm - facing your partner, and not on the inside of the arm, with partner facing away.

You can do it both inside and outside the wrist at the same place,only on opposite "presentation" of the radial nerve at the ulner bone. The trick to it is to trap H-4 with your thumb on the "inside position" and with the middle finger on the outside position, and keep the elbow supported. That's the "button" for the "fire-metal" connection and for a good Yonkyo. The problem with defining martial arts techniques with "points" is that a lot of "points" aren't defined by meridian identification, but they're still painful and work for martial arts applications, which is why I tend to "describe" a technique rather than the points involved. The inside position of this technique hits right between L-6 and L=7 (you were correct, Eyrie), so giving you either one would be "wrong", but the nerve's still there, so don't get tied up in "point a + point b" equaling "the technique". They're great motivators, just not the great panacea of self defense that replace good solid MA training. I sometimes call them "pain and suffering incidental to the blowing of the whistle"...

For a nice sensation, take the prescribed grip on the wrist points with one hand and then strike L 6 or LI 7, depending on the orientation of uke's hand in the entry (say shirt grab). Strike obliquely towards the hand. That will make them let go.

First of all, bad technique... the wrist grip shown in the picture might be in the right place, but the support should be at the elbow, not the hand. Someone doing this technique, this way, is either very advanced or very inexperienced...  The letters and numbers are "meridian points" as defined by Chinese medicine. Find you a good acupuncture book and you'll have a road map for these points. The nuances to Yonkyo are pretty suttle, and it involves simply rolling the knuckles on the "pain points" that make it work, so I won't attempt to detail it here. Any good aikidoka can teach you the technique in about 5 minutes if you're paying attention, and then it's like getting to Carnegie Hall... practice, practice, practice...

Supporting the elbow is one way... locking the elbow through radius and ulna is another... either way locking the entire structure is important.
Actually, you'd be using the top of the index metacarpal at the metacarpophalangeal joint.
