Many of the TCMA's focus on attacking areas where there are pressure points.

The main reason for this is because these are also the most vital and advantageous areas to attack. Medical science has proven certain pressure points effect the nervous system and motor controls.

However you should not make hitting the pressure point and hoping for it to effect and totally disable your opponent to be your main goal. Techniques are built to use skeletal function against the opponent as well.

Pressure points are secondary to the techniques in most TCMA's. Kinda like gravy on your mashed potatoes, just an added bonus.

No prob. But i really don't think that one short post could have covered all your questions.


I could be wrong though.

No it did, i had no clue pressure points were secondary i thought hitting them was a style of fighting!

For some people it is a philosophy that hitting the points is primary. I personally don't agree with that. However I'm not saying weather it's right or wrong.

The points came along after the hitting was developed. It was developed secondary that's why I follow the philosophy that I do.

I could say Kyūshojutsu, Aiki-jūjutsu, Chin Na, etc. No "one" art has the final collective of such. In actuality, one should not entertain the thought to have total reliance on such study, being that the degrees of reception varies on different individuals.

And which have/do you study?

And which have/do you study?

So now, it appears you are directing into a reasonable discussion. However, given that of your consistent mis-use of my name, I wonder after I give you your request, will you revert back to your original response(s)

Why should I respect your request, when you had repeatedly disrespected mine?

When I was a kid, all of the kids wanted to take up boxing. Boxing gyms were all over in my town. I had stumbled upon Judo. I was frowned upon for wanting to learn and study something Japanese. I guess this was in part of the lasting memory of the Pacific War. Though the Axis, per Germans and Italians seem to fit back into social norms, the Japanese with their unique Asian features, maintained the "look" of the "enemy".

Unfortunately, I (or my parents) had the finances to pay for Judo lessons. But fate would have it that a qualified Judo instructor would teach at a public recreational facility for free. After a few years, that Judo instructor would introduce me to his friend whom was a Jiu Jitsu instructor.

Years after that, I would study Karate. Two types were Shotokan and Tae Kwon Do (if you considered it a Karate). Grand was that the TKD teacher had another art, which was his primary-Hapkido. At that time, almost everyone was studying Judo. The first spy movies like Ian Fleming’s James Bond, etc., would have a broader audience view Judo, in a haphazard manner.

After Karate, I found a Chinese martial art instructor. I was with him for sometime while those whom used to be in Judo, started training in Karate. When a famous Chinese martial artist started to peak. Bruce Lee seemed to have Kung Fu take off at an alarming rate.
