Pressure points and deadly strikes

[Azzazzin]

You know how you see in movies the Kung Fu masters (the really old ones) dont use and craxy kicks, but apply pressure points and strikes with only 1 or 2 fingers and totally blow a guy away...

Does any of this actually exist?

I remember when I went to boarding school in Rosseau, the guy who worked there used to be an interogation officer in nam..

he told me he knew a pressure point somewhere in the back area that made you shit your pants (relaxes the vouls)

Im just wondering if any of this exists, and if you could show me some diagrams! haha

You just want to walk down the street and jab people in the back so they will shit themselves!!!! Haha!

Quite immature but the thought of it makes me laugh!

[ryanhall]

Quite immature

Yeah. It is.

Im just wondering if any of this exists

No, it doesn't.

If it did, why would you want to do this in the first place? Stop fantasizing about feeling up strangers. They would come back from the restroom and beat you for your trouble. And rightly so.

is the groin considered a pressure point? not sure

[doubleouch]

Oh yes, If you just learn the secret pressure points you won't have to train hard. Just a touch in the right place and the fight is over! If you are really good you just have to point your finger and your chi will flow to them and attack the point. I know it works because I read it in an ad in the back of a karate magazine! Ha Ha Ha

...

If they existed, how come you don't hear about people's arms randomly blowing off or something like that because they scratched their elbow or something?

Later...

platinum_angel,
There's equity for you.

[platinum_angel]

thank you

[ryanhall]

No problem.

Even if pressure points did exist, it would be difficult to use them in a self-defence situation due to adrenaline and the chaotic nature of most fights.

It's hard to tell if some of you are joking or if you're serious

seeing what accupuncture can do (e.g. operate on someone without any drugs and the patient aware) I believe it is possible to let someone shit his pants
But most of the time they are supose to help setting up for an other attack (e.g. if you manage to buckle the knees for a moment it's easier to take him down )

Well, I recently learned 2 pressure points (or areas) in a Russian MA class, and they are very effective, and do not take any great deal of force to apply...

I was just wondering if there were any more pressure points that you knew of, maybe they are not good in a fight like the two I learned, but I would still like to know (out of pure interest)...

I always wanted to know how the guy made people shit their pants, and why the body would do that just by putting pressure on a certain spot. Does that not sound interesting to you?
