Pain points are usually called those areas on human body, which are the most sensitive to damage. Even a slight impact on them causes very noticeable pain. It is useful to know pain points on the human body for self-defense purposes, since such information gives a serious advantage over the enemy.
To incapacitate or kill a person, a very slight pressure or blow is required on a vulnerable place, which includes: ears, temple, eyes, nose, upper lip, chin, Adam's apple, base of the throat, back of the head
We are talking about those places on the human body that respond to physical impact with the greatest discomfort. Therefore, they should be acted upon only in extreme cases, for example, for the purpose of self-defense.
Important! Self-defense does not justify grievous bodily harm. According to article 108 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, a murder committed while exceeding the limits of self-defense can be punished by a term of imprisonment of two years. Therefore, it should be understood that any fact of harming a person can lead to an appropriate punishment, regardless of the motives.
Some of these areas are well known (eg, groin, eyeballs). Other pain points are known only to those who are directly related to martial arts.
Where are the pain points?
Experts distinguish three main groups of pain points located on the human body:
- Head. Here, the most sensitive to physical impact are the following areas: eyes, temples, nose, ears, chin, lips.
- Legs. Pain points are located on the ankles, knees, feet, legs.
- Torso. In this zone, the most vulnerable points are: groin, armpits, kidneys, solar plexus, false rib.
Each of the above groups should be considered in more detail.
Head pain points
Not even swipe in the temple can inflict a very serious injury to the opponent Since the brain is located in the head, an excessively strong impact on this area can be fatal. Despite the fact that the human skull is highly durable, it is not as difficult to damage it as it might seem at first glance. Therefore, when exposed to the head area, care should be taken.
The most sensitive pain points of the head:
- Eyes. eyeballs considered one of the most vulnerable parts human body. Exposure to them with a special pepper spray allows you to almost completely disable the enemy. If there is no such means of self-defense at hand, then you can limit yourself to pressing on these pain points. Most often, the index and middle fingers are used for this.
- Nose. Even with a weak blow to the nose, the enemy will be guaranteed strong discomfort. The most effective is the so-called "catchy" blow to the nose. To do this, you need to hit the convex part of the nose with your knuckles, which will provide your opponent with pain shock and bleeding. An excessively strong blow can break the opponent's nose, so it is desirable to control your actions.
- Whiskey. This is one of the most dangerous areas. The human skull is most vulnerable in this area. It is here that traumatic nerves are located, as well as arteries that can cause severe hemorrhages.
Important! It is highly undesirable to hit the opponent in the temple, since even a weak blow can cause severe head injury. With a strong impact, a lethal outcome is possible.
- Upper lip. By delivering a strong enough blow at an angle of 30 degrees, it is possible to inflict burning pain on the opponent with bleeding.
- Chin. This area should be affected with the back of the hand, since when hitting with a fist, the risk of damage to the hand increases. A sliding blow from below and to the side is preferred, which will provide bruising or dislocation of the jaw.
- Pharynx. The most vulnerable point is the depression located at the bottom point. It is best to act on it with your fingers. Such an attack can provoke breathing difficulties. A more severe consequence is pulmonary spasm.
- Adam's apple. Experts recommend using Ripping Grips, however any attack to this location is 100% effective.
Important! A strong blow to the Adam's apple can be fatal. Therefore, an average impact on this area will be sufficient.
- Neck. A blow with the back side to the hands in the area under the back of the head is capable of knocking out the opponent.
Pain points of the legs
Before kicking the knee, turn slightly and bend the leg, the kick is applied with the edge of the sole Most vulnerabilities on the legs are:
- Knees. Very painful are both blows directly to the patella, and to the side of the knee. They are applied with the edge of the boot. This technique has a disarming effect, contributing to damage to the knee joint and ligaments.
- Ankles. The blow is applied through the outer rib of the boot, which is held perpendicular to the ankle. Experts do not recommend using a toe kick in this case due to its low efficiency.
- Shin. In this area, the bone is the least protected. high efficiency has a blow at the level of 1/3 of the height of the lower leg. It should be applied with the outer edge of the foot.
- Foot. Here are the most fragile and most vulnerable bones. Blows to the foot with the heel can cause a fracture if the opponent is behind the back.
Torso pain points
Here the most vulnerable points are:
- Solar plexus. It is best to strike in this area with a fist. With a strong enough blow, the opponent has a burning pain, forcing him to kneel.
Important! With excessive exposure to the solar plexus area, a lethal outcome is possible.
- Armpits. Since the nerves are located here close to the skin, an accurate blow can cause severe pain, temporarily incapacitating the enemy.
- Kidneys. Blows to the kidneys cause the development of a nervous shock. It is best to strike with the knee or the edge of the palm, but it should be remembered that without proper medical care a person may die.
- Groin. One of the most famous pain points on the human body. A strong enough blow to this area is able to immobilize the enemy.
- Stomach. A strong blow to this area forces the opponent to bend, after which blows to the back of the head and back can be used.
- False rib. Strikes are applied from both sides by means of the knee, elbow or edge of the palm.
How to determine the strength of the impact
How strong and accurate your punch will be depends on your individual skills. The level of possible damage is largely determined by the strength of strikes against the enemy's pain points. It should be remembered that these zones are not only very sensitive to pain, but also located in important vital centers, and therefore an excessively strong impact on them can be fatal.
To correctly determine the force of impact on a painful point, an algorithm of five levels should be used:
- A weak blow, the purpose of which is not to inflict damage on the opponent, but to distract or intimidate him.
- The second level involves applying force to the punch to unbalance it and buy time.
- The third is the most common level, which is able to stun the enemy, cause severe pain or numbness in the area that was affected. As a rule, in this way it is possible to neutralize the opponent for a long time.
- The fourth level involves serious consequences in the form of loss of consciousness and injuries. Sometimes such an impact on pain points provokes the development of paralysis.
- A level five strike poses a significant threat to the enemy's health and can be fatal.
It is very important to correctly assess the level of danger and use the above knowledge solely in the framework of self-defense. It should be remembered that not a single combat technique welcomes the deliberate killing of an enemy, therefore a moderate impact on pain points is recommended.
Fists should not be waved anyhow, but aimed at the most vulnerable places of the human body. What are these places, and how to beat them, today we will tell.
1. Ankle joint
It is affected by a “trampling” kick from top to bottom, or by a “football” kick in a horizontal plane from the front or side. It is better that the attacking leg is in shoes. This place is very sensitive in almost all people, because from childhood it is protected by shoes, and there is no muscular cover here.

2. Calf
The two tibias located here (small and large) are almost not covered by muscles, so the pain from hitting them pierces the whole body, like an electrical discharge. You can attack the lower leg both with the inner (with a “football” kick) and the outer (with a side kick) side of the foot. This is best done with a hard edge of your shoes. However, you can hit with both the heel (heel) and the sole. Just do not hit the shin with a toe, as it can slip off and then the blow will not cause significant harm to the enemy.

3. Knee joint
Knee - best target for low level kicks. It is convenient to hit him from all sides, with any part of the foot, at any angle (from top to bottom, from bottom to top, horizontally), by any movement - pushing, swinging, trampling.
Source: army.lv
4. Crotch
This target can be hit with anything - toe and instep, heel, knee, fist, edge and base of the palm, fingertips pressed together.
You can not even beat, but simply grab the genitals with your hand and pull them towards you - to the side. However, this place has been protected by men since childhood. We all tend to purely reflexively cover our perineum with our hand or thigh when trying to attack it. Therefore, such a blow rolls only with a distraction of the enemy’s attention, for example: a whipping blow of the hand over the eyes.

5. Lower abdomen (pubic area)
There is no muscular armor in the lower part of the abdomen, and numerous neurovascular plexuses are located inside the abdominal cavity. It is better to strike here with the toe of the shoe, with the knee, with the fist, with the tips of the fingers clenched together.
Source: army.lv
6. Solar plexus ("sun")
It is convenient to hit him with the elbow, knee, fist, base of the palm, second phalanges of the fingers, clenched in the manner of the so-called "devil's paw" (see figure). It is difficult to break through the sun in the "musclings", overgrown with powerful muscles. But even they can't keep their abs tight all the time. On inspiration, the abdominal muscles relax, and this target opens up for defeat.

7. Cardiac plexus
This target is located just below the left nipple. Everything said about the "sun" is true here. We only add that with a strong blow to the region of the heart, it can stop. Then death will come instantly. It is necessary to know about this in order not to hit there (the cardiac nerve plexus is more vulnerable than the solar one).
Any knowledge can be useful to us in practice. And knowing where the most painful points on the human body are located can even save your life and health in a certain situation, because you will know where it is better to hit an aggressive opponent or which areas of your body should be protected in the first place. So…
Crown
It is the most unprotected area in the upper part of the head. If a strong and sharp blow is applied to this zone, then a person may die.
Temple
In detective stories, they often show how a person was pushed, he hit his temple against something - and died ... It's true, an artery of the brain membrane passes under the temple. A blow to this area can lead to a concussion, and this is fraught with both fainting and death.
Nose
A blow to the nose is not only severe pain. This can disorient the person and cause bleeding. The nasal bone is very easy to break.
Bridge of the nose
It is connected to the optic nerve. If you "knowingly" poke a finger at this point, it can turn into a fatal outcome.
Eyes
If you hit a person in the eye area, this is not just a sharp pain, the victim may completely lose his sight. And if you poke your thumb in the eye, you can reach the very brain and cause irreversible damage to it.
Lower jaw
The point just below the junction of the jaw with the ear is also called the "knockout area". Directed there side impact leads to defeat cervical spine, and the opponent falls. That is why during the fight, participants often lower their chins, trying to cover a weak spot.
Adam's apple
Even a light blow to this area can lead to choking or vomiting. If hit hard, it can cause loss of consciousness or death.
elbow joint
Even when we ourselves accidentally bruise our elbow, it hurts a lot. A strong blow to this area can cause numbness in the arm.
Solar plexus
Everyone knows that a blow there, especially upward, is very painful, as it "enters" internal organs- heart, liver, lungs. The consequences can be very serious.
Heart area
A strong blow here can simply kill, as a person's heart will stop. Finger poke between the ribs is very painful, although they do not carry much danger.
Stomach
It is in the abdomen that most of our internal organs are located. No wonder the "belly" in Russian - from the word "life". Also in the old days the expression "not sparing your belly" was common. Especially dangerous is a deep penetrating blow in upper part belly. A blow to the lower part introduces a state of shock, and if it is strong enough, it can lead to serious internal damage.
kidneys
It is not for nothing that the expression “beat off the kidneys” is so common. A blow to them not only causes severe pain, it can render the organ unusable and turn a person into a disabled person.
Groin
For men, blows to the groin and perineum are especially painful. And if hit hard, it can be fatal.
Knee cap
A blow to the kneecap is not only very painful, it is fraught with injury, and even disability. As a result of the blow, the cup can be broken or the mobility of the knee joint can be impaired, which will lead to permanent dislocations.
Myths about pain points
One of the most common misconceptions: if you know where to hit, then the enemy can be disabled for a long time. In fact, it is important to know not only where, but also how and at what angle to strike.
Quite often we hear that there is some mysterious point on the neck, by clicking on which, you can make a person, if not die, then at least lose consciousness. Well, maybe masters martial arts and are capable of it. But it is difficult for an ordinary person to find this point and influence it correctly. In the same way, it is a myth that a person can be killed with one light poke if a special technique is used. death touch". This can only be seen in action movies.
There is also a horror story that if you break a person's nose, then broken cartilage can damage the brain. But from the point of view of anatomy, this is simply impossible ...
There is also a theory that pain points on the human body have varying degrees of vulnerability, depending on the "ebb" and "ebb" of energy. Those who allegedly master the so-called "art of the poisonous hand" can calculate such periods and use it to neutralize opponents. But this is not yet a confirmed legend.
Knowing the pain points on the human body helps to effectively counter the enemy in self-defense. Vulnerable are those parts of the body that most painfully react to blows, hard pressure or twisting and are guaranteed to cause acute pain and even long-term disruption of a person's vital functions. First of all, these are places on the human body in which the main nerves and ganglions and blood vessels, joints, internal organs are concentrated; places where the bones are least covered with muscle tissue.
* Between the eyebrows, at the junction of the nasal cartilage and the skull, are the nasal bones. A blow to them will cause profuse bleeding, making it difficult to breathe, impair vision and lead to pain shock. A blow to the nose from the bottom up with the base of the palm is considered the most dangerous. It is convenient to use in close combat. If the hit in this area is accurate, then with even a slight blow, the enemy can be killed.
* Accumulations of nerve endings and fragile blood vessels are located on the superciliary arch. From a blow to the superciliary region, the vessels burst, hemorrhage begins in the eyes, vision deteriorates sharply, and the nerve endings, which are shocked, lead to a strong pain effect.
* The zygomatic arch, which is located under the eye, is easily injured from a punch, as it is quite fragile. Pain shock and temporary loss of vision are guaranteed.
* The most vulnerable area of the head is, of course, the eyes themselves. They are vulnerable to trauma. A light blow to them leads to permanent loss of vision. Blows to the eyes, pressure on them with the fingers are extremely effective.
* The lower jaw is considered to be a mobile bone formation. The main problem lies in its mobility: a blow to this place can cause a displacement with a rupture of the muscles fastened to the fixed part of the skull. Or maybe crush a bone. Result: pain shock and loss of consciousness in the opponent. In boxing, this point is known as the knockout area.
* Opponent may lose consciousness from the resulting concussion and knocked out lower jaw as a result of a blow to the chin. In this case, the tongue is severely injured.
* A strong blow to the ears with the palms of the hands will damage the outer ear, leading to hearing loss. A blow to this area causes bleeding and even loss of consciousness from pain shock, since many blood vessels and nerves are located here.
* The bones of the skull at the temples are the thinnest, they break through even with a weak blow. The consequences of fractures at these points can be fatal.
* As well as blows to the kidneys, blows to the back of the head are dangerous. Here the base of the skull is affected, and with a strong blow, the consequences can be the most severe. Here, even with not the most effective attack, the enemy will lose the ability to navigate.
*The neck contains vital blood vessels on the sides, back cervical vertebrae and a vulnerable "Adam's apple" in the throat. Strong blows with damage to the vertebrae can cause paralysis. If you use the edge of the palm to perform lateral blows to the neck, this will sharply disrupt the blood circulation of the brain and lead to loss of consciousness.
* kneecaps, elbow joint, outer and inner parts of the knee, foot, shin, thigh muscles on the legs, hands and fingers are the most vulnerable points of the lower and upper extremities of a person.
* Extremely effective blows to both the elbow joint and the patella of the supporting leg. Attacks in these areas cause not only pain but also immobility of the joints.
* Direct sharp blow in outer part of the knee can lead to the destruction of the joint due to an unnatural deflection to the other side, causing severe pain and temporary immobility of the knee. When hitting the inside of the knee, the ligaments and tendons at the patella are damaged, which also leads to immobility of the knee joint. An exact gift to the patella will lead to its displacement, make lower limb motionless.
* An attack with the outer edge of the foot at the level of one third of the lower leg from below into the opponent's lower leg can be one of the most effective techniques. Here the bone, as in the case of the temporal part, is the least thin. A strong blow is more likely to cause a fracture, and not too hard will help the opponent feel pain.
* Perineum, heart, spleen, liver, kidneys, solar plexus, ribs, armpits, coccyx are among the most vulnerable points of the body.
* There are many nerves and large vessels in the perineum, and very sensitive genital organs are located a little higher. A blow to this area can lead to rupture of the bladder. A kick to the testicles will take the opponent out of the fight for a long time.
* The solar plexus point is located in the center of the chest. Near the solar plexus are the vital organs (heart, liver, stomach). Here is the largest accumulation of nerves. Since there are no ribs, this area is extremely exposed, physical impact on it will lead to a noticeable pain effect. Shock, shortness of breath, stomach bleeding, heart failure and loss of consciousness - and these are not all the consequences of an attack in this area.
* By their structure, the ribs are the most fragile bones in humans. Fractures of the ribs from the fifth to the eighth also occur with blows of medium strength. But the point is not only in the pain shock from broken ribs, it must be borne in mind that fragments from them can damage vital organs.
* In the region of the lower ribs are the liver and spleen. Not the strongest blow to the liver leads to its defeat.
It is located under the lower ribs with right side, you need to beat with your left hand or knee, if the fight is close, or strike with your left foot on medium distance and outer edge of the foot right foot from the side. We should not forget about the area of the spleen.
* Large blood vessels and nerves are located in the armpits. Feelings of the enemy from a blow to his armpits will introduce you to a strong electric shock. Result: pain shock and loss of hand function.
* The kidneys are located near the back wall of the abdominal cavity. They do not have bone protection, therefore they are very vulnerable. A blow to them will give strong pain, their rupture with internal hemorrhage is likely. Do not forget that the kidneys are located somewhere on the same level with the elbow joint.
*Attack on the coccyx can damage the central nervous system, and even cause paralysis, not to mention severe pain
Vasilenko Valery
All hand-to-hand fighters and fans of martial arts are familiar with the concept of the nerve center or vulnerable point. In addition to the well-known points such as the eye-throat-groin, there are several hundred others located both on the trunk and on the limbs. Looking at the map-scheme of the abundant location of vulnerable centers on the body, it is very easy to decide that everything is simple - no matter where you knock, you will hit some point. But this, fortunately, is absolutely not the case - otherwise in the usual drunken fight people would be killed by a random slap in the nose or chest. In fact, you need to know to what depth, at what angle, what impact form should be applied in order to achieve this or that effect. Very many points are most sensitive to defeat precisely by small forms, and only a few can work with them. In addition, you need to know the anatomical location of the point very accurately, be able to work with the reflexology atlas.
Mystified Eastern teachings, one of those that guarantee, if not spacewalking without a spacesuit, then at least physical immortality due to the mastery of the mythical energy "Chi" or "Ki", are very fond of loading their followers with tales on the popular topic of the art of the poisonous hand. Their essence lies in the fact that if you know the time when one or another point has a maximum or, conversely, a minimum of energy, having mastered the control of it, you can send a person to the next world with a simple touch of your finger, and also after a given time period (day, month , year). So the unlucky followers of all kinds of sensei and gurus learn by heart thick Talmuds on acupuncture, memorizing the time of "ebb and flow of energy" on the "meridians", difficult to pronounce Chinese names dots and other nonsense. They do push-ups on their fingers or poke them into the sand, beans and the wall, earning arthritis from a young age. They spend precious hours of their free time on all sorts of meditations on mastering the "energy current", "opening the chakras, dan-tien and clearing the channels" in the style of qigong, tai chi and other heresy, and, shamefully getting into the head from the guys from the boxing or kickboxing section , explain to themselves that their art does not need to be mastered for a year or even a dozen years, in contrast to a rude massacre. But when they master it, they will show them all, wow! After all, they have such a cool teacher! (Who's so cool because he doesn't spar with anyone).
THROAT, SOLAR PLEXUS, groin
Consider "stopping" the enemy blows to the above-mentioned places. For example, a blow to the throat is dangerous even from a small child. But any adult can, with his action directed at the throat, transfer his opponent to the "other world", a lot of strength is not required, just a vector poke in a certain direction. But this is science for the special forces, who have to engage in deadly duels. And it is enough for a "mere mortal" to know that, for example, a slight slap on the Adam's apple with your fingers will stop any attacker, because. in this place there are no muscles that cover the cartilage. In army manuals, you can see a blow with a machine gun barrel in the throat, which is very effective.
Going down below, take the solar plexus. All martial artists were hit at this point, and everyone probably remembered unforgettable feelings. Needless to say, with such a blow, it takes little effort to knock the opponent into a fetal position! But at the same time, it must be taken into account that a strong blow delivered with a certain vector will kill the enemy, which is known to those who are supposed to know this. So with blows to the solar plexus, you should be careful.
Groin is a place of "persuasion" for many, especially in the night city. No wonder they say: eye, throat, groin - you can’t pump! But what is dangerous is not that they hit in the groin, but in a place just above the "male" pride. For an internal hematoma and irreparable consequences, a kick in the "grindars" is enough - that's it, the operation is guaranteed!
Although, it should be noted that the following often happens "on adrenaline" - after a blow to the groin, the enemy jumps up after 2-4 seconds, and then you really need to try hard to emerge victorious from this fight! This happens due to the inaccuracy of the strike and the concentration of the aiming point precisely on the genitals. In fact, you need to hit inward, with maximum effort from the bottom up!
TEMPORARY PARALYSIS
Shocking, paralyzing and disabling points are found along the lateral lines of the skull, face, throat and torso. A sharp and carrying blow with a small form to these points causes the enemy to recoil or pull back a limb. Several repeated blows to these points cause a cumulative pain effect and, as a result, temporary paralysis of the limb.
These are points located in the center and on the sides of the articular folds of absolutely all joints of the arms and legs; located one third (of the length of the limb segment) above and below the joint; With inside forearms, in the midline between the radius and ulna; on the arms and legs, where you can feel the bone through the muscles (on the thigh and shoulder they are located along the inner and outer lines).
It is located not to the left of the sternum, as we usually think, but mainly along the midline and has the shape of a drop, inclined from the sternum with a sharp part to the left nipple. Closest to the surface of the body is the left ventricle. Just under the left nipple where the big one ends pectoral muscle, you can see or feel its pulsation. In athletes, it is displaced to the outer part of the body. As a result of breaking through the middle or index finger this point goes astray heartbeat. A simple fist strike introduces arrhythmia into the work of the heart, adding stress during the contraction and phase of breathing. Possible valve closure and death. In a bad way (for the enemy with your good hit) breaks the rib and breaks the heart.
HEAD
Figuratively speaking, it is a ball-skull on a spring-backbone. Impacts to the side of the "spring" (in the horizontal plane) can destroy the bones of the facial skeleton (nose, jaw), but are partially damped. Practically no shocks are amortized to break the "ball" from the "spring", that is, from the bottom up towards the top of the head.
No wonder the chin is the point of turning off consciousness! But this is not easy to achieve, because the accuracy of the blow is required, at the same time, a side blow with an open palm or even a forearm in the jaw or in the outstretched hands (self-impact with one's own limbs) very often "knocks out" consciousness. This is achieved by the total area of the lesion and by combining the blow with the movement of the head upon impact, which is fraught with a concussion, and with the addition of a painful effect - a knockout.
Reverse blows - in a horizontal plane to the back of the head - are also very dangerous. A sharp unbearable blow, the so-called "rabbit", knocks out and can deprive of consciousness. A slightly stronger blow to this area, without touching the details of its application, was forbidden to use in the exam " maroon berets after the officer's death.
Any blow with the forearm or elbow to the left and right side the back of the head leads to loss of consciousness, and it does not matter if it was a clean blow or not. To realize the effect of such work, ask a friend to lightly slap you on the back of the head with his palm, but from your position, face to face. So how is it? Did you feel it!?
The usual "splash" directly to the back of the head or slightly at an angle breaks cartilage and thin bones. Result: "blood" (it is not necessarily visible from the outside, it can drain down the back of the throat). Someone is shocked, someone continues the massacre, not noticing the injury in a fever, and someone additionally goes berserk from the taste and sight of their own blood, it happens. And as a result of a "catchy" blow with the knuckles on the protruding part of the nose from the side, a painful shock occurs, although there may not be any "blood".
"Strawberry". This is everyone's favorite point under the nose. Read about its use in combat survival in the "extreme" section ("SU" No. 2, 2004, article "If you were hooked with a knife"). In a fight, a blow delivered to this point with the edge of the palm along a tangent causes the opponent to turn his head in the direction of the blow, lose sight of you and open side surface jaws and heads. By pressing on this point with the base of the index finger, we force the enemy to tilt his head up, open his Adam's apple to defeat, over-bent his back and lose stability ... By the way, pressing on the tip of the nose causes the same effect. Option: hook any two fingers of the enemy behind the nostrils from behind (it is possible with one, but the degree of reliability of the combat element drops.
Many have experienced a blow to the nose. But, as a rule, these are blows according to the scheme directly to this area of \u200b\u200bthe face, but one of the officers of the Airborne Forces admitted that somehow in a fight he didn’t hit the “penny”, the blow slipped to the left, and what was his surprise when the attacker’s nose curled up to the side, and the enemy, squealing in pain, fell to the ground. He did not expect such efficiency.
EYES
A very delicate place in a fragile male body, almost the same as the testicles, only 2/3 hidden inside the body. Accordingly, there are the same number of experiences during squeezing, and tearing off, unscrewing, crushing (continuing to the extent of personal sadism) is much more problematic. Especially if the "body" is stuffed, even if not with drugs, but with adrenaline, it actively puffs, spins and, by no means, wants to freeze, so that it would be more convenient for us to pick out these very eyes.
In a word, it is problematic to deprive the body of the eyes, since while this very body is not in a deep coma, it will reflexively jerk its head away, leaving the line of attack. This, by the way, is one of the simplest tests from the practice of resuscitation doctors for the "load" of the cortex.
Well, now you are armed with a terrible knowledge that although it hurts, it is not fatal, but your opponent does not know this, which we will use. The effects on the eyes pass well immediately after a "relaxing" palm strike on the chin, nose, "from the wing" on the "rabbit" point behind the ear.
There is a so-called "officer's reception": a whip with a cap, a cap, a beret in the eyes! A very painful and shocking blow!
Grandfather, a Kuban Cossack, showed one of the authors a poke with his little finger in the eye, but not just like that, but in the process of cutting with sabers, i.e. close combat with the use of edged weapons. The shock was the strongest when, having beaten off a blow with a saber, the grandfather took a step forward, pressing the attacking limb with a blade and changing the angle of the saber, letting it slide off, carried out this technique! That's what our grandfathers knew!
Adam's apple
According to legend, when Adam ate an apple from the Tree of Knowledge, he choked on it, a piece got stuck in his throat - hence its second, ancient name "Adam's apple". One of those interesting protrusions on the uncle's body that distinguishes him from his aunt. Accordingly, a reverent attitude towards him, the only one. Up to the point that in some men, with a simple touch to this zone, there is a spasm of the airways and suffocation (this is without compression!). By the way, terrible truth: a person does not die from a blow to the Adam's apple! A person can die from subsequent suffocation or from reflex cardiac arrest with a deep penetrating blow with the edge of the palm across the midline, but not due to an injury to the "Adam's apple", but due to the impact on both vagus nerves. Yes, and a stab in the throat, if it was performed without subsequent ripping and exactly along the midline, that is, in the Adam's apple, does not entail any "lethal" consequences, except for the facilitated influx of the wave fresh air to the lungs. There is such an operation, the simplest, called a conicotomy. The link for the Stakhanovites and pioneers about the absence of responsibility of the authors for the consequences of performing exercises for the technique is VALID in this place, as in all the others, even where they did not write, too.
Be that as it may, the impact on the Adam's apple has firmly migrated from street fighting and the teachings of gray-haired eastern elders to instructions on hand-to-hand combat for special forces around the world. Read the first aid for yourself or a friend when receiving this blow in our development on extreme (the above number is "SU"). In the meantime, try to touch the Adam's apple, move it to the right and left, be bold, pull it away from you and, conversely, press it against your neck. Well, it's not that scary. And now we will open the real secret technique! Above the Adam's apple there is another bone, the hyoid one, for some reason everyone forgets about it, but in vain! For this bone, grabbing it with the fingers of a palm turned upside down to the sky, it is very convenient to control the enemy. It is important to squeeze it on the verge of breaking and push it up at 45 degrees. Shockers on the Adam's apple: striking casual blow with the knuckles of the phalanges of the "leopard's paw"; poke with the tips of bent fingers from the side (NOT IN the Adam's apple) - from the Adam's apple towards the midline. In addition to hitting with the edge of the palm, there is another interesting variant of the combined traumatic blow to the Adam's apple. First, a poke is performed with the tips of bent fingers into the jugular fossa, then the fingers bend into the paw of a leopard and already press the knuckles of the phalanges, as a result, the knuckles of the fist act. In general, the whole movement is like the course of a tank caterpillar.
The tearing grips of the Adam's apple and windpipe are simple and reliable (compared to a punch). They are divided into two groups: crushing (performed with one hand, the movement is similar to showing a sacred pagan gesture called kukish and fig, less often with two hands) and tearing (performed with two hands).
The cruel truth: finishing off in any conflict was often done with the butt of a rifle, a machine gun in the throat, namely in the Adam's apple!
KNEE
One of the most complex and most vulnerable joints in our body. It is characteristic that an injury or simply very severe pain can be caused from almost any direction. A blow from the side from the inside or outside tears the ligaments and breaks the joint. A blow from behind, in the popliteal fossa, tears the ligaments and knocks the leg forward.
A blow from the front also breaks knee-joint unless it has been bent 90 degrees. This position is very fond of representatives of hard styles - they say, try to break the joint blocked in this position (deep forward lunge, archer stance). That's how it is, a blow to the knee, with proper preparation, holds, but there is one very interesting and fragile detail here. In Latin, "patella" is called, that is, the patella, or patella, as we are more and more used to. This very patella breaks like a nutshell, with a good sharp blow with a "reset".
Without the ability to stop the attacker, keep him at a distance, there is no combat system. Therefore, almost all martial arts profile blows to the legs, namely to the knee! The efficiency is very high: if you carry out a "brush" (football kick on the ball) to the knees, multiplying by shoes and strength, we get an injury or at least a 100% stop of any attack! An example from life: a bunch of juvenile idiots in the amount of 10 people had fun as best they could, but they could only drink vodka and beer. They saw a man in uniform from afar and rushed to ask him what rank he was and from what kind of troops! The clarification did not take place, because. the man turned out to be an officer of the headquarters of the Airborne Forces, he had two campaigns in Chechnya behind him, and he did not want to get injured and expose himself to the "recognition" guys! But, being a man of age and having seen a lot, he did not want to cut off young lives. Within 30 seconds, the acquaintance ended with blows to the legs, and more specifically to the ankle and knees. The officer scattered this group of accelerators, saving their lives and giving them another chance!
WORKING WITH INCLUDE AND CARRYING OUT PAIN
The pain turns on and is carried out from one point to another with sharp, strong concentrated blows that are applied sequentially to several points. They can be connected by pain into a single "meridian" and, for example, "dry", that is, turn off a limb - the so-called "chained stream". You can "drive a nail" deep, inflicting high-speed strikes different strength and amplitude at one point - its painful loading occurs.
One of the secrets of our ancestors was the ability to influence the internal organs without using pain points. Wave shocks-impacts with the force application vector directed to the liver, heart, kidneys, spleen, etc. up to the cerebellum, led to death or loss of consciousness. The effect of the application was enhanced by mentally placing a part of the body of a rigid object inside the attacked organ - a stone, the tip of a sword: "And the enemy appeared mentally before him, and he brought the stone to the adversary in his hand in all the weight of his thoughts, at his head ..."
As you can see, the system of initial acquaintance with pain points is simple, easy to remember and immediately.
