JoshuaMonjin Member Registered: 10/13/06 Posts: 427 Loc: Fallon, Nevada	I heard recently that a pressure point can lose its potency and you can get used to it, if used constantly on you. Has anyone else heard that? _________________________ Jikishin kore dojo nari

Thai boxers routinely take thigh kicks that would drop you and I like a bad habit. Some Chinese styles practice kicking each other in the groin, etc. _________________________ "In case you ever wondered what it's like to be knocked out, it's like waking up from a nightmare only to discover it wasn't a dream." -Forrest Griffin

underdog Veteran Registered: 09/18/04 Posts: 1270 Loc: Mansfield, MA U.S.A.	Oh you just brought back a memory. I remember doing exercises kind of like that. You face your partner in a horse stance with hands up in a fighting guard. Then you take turns back and forth kicking each other left and right to points like Sp 9, Sp 10, Gb 31, working your way up. Is this what you mean? What about Iron Shirt training? _________________________ The older I get, the better I was!

JoshuaMonjin Member Registered: 10/13/06 Posts: 427 Loc: Fallon, Nevada	Thanks MattJ and underdog, I don't do any PP stuff myself at the moment and was curious about this aspect of it. Underdog, how much did that method of training hurt or was it not very heavy contact? _________________________ Jikishin kore dojo nari

underdog Veteran Registered: 09/18/04 Posts: 1270 Loc: Mansfield, MA U.S.A.	You can make it as tough as you want. You can hurt if you want. That is a mutual agreement between you and your uke. It depends on your objective. I can think of at least 6 different training objectives for this kind of drill. _________________________ The older I get, the better I was!

JoshuaMonjin Member Registered: 10/13/06 Posts: 427 Loc: Fallon, Nevada	Interesting drill for sure. Something to consider if I ever get into serious PP work. _________________________ Jikishin kore dojo nari
