The most vulnerable. Here are the most vulnerable parts of each zodiac sign

Good afternoon, dear readers! Yandex never ceases to amaze. Not even a week had passed since it was announced that the war with page re-optimization and the introduction of a new ranking formula had begun, but over the weekend on the official blog the guys from the secure search team touched on the topic of website security and published an interesting rating of vulnerable cms (Content Management System).

Today, in most cases, when creating an Internet resource, we use an engine. This is convenient, since without special knowledge you can implement everything you have planned - from the site itself to a gallery or forum, but like any software they contain vulnerabilities. Knowing about which, it doesn’t cost a hacker anything to hack a site and post malicious code, redirect readers to another resource, post dubious material, or infect computers with a virus. Such actions may damage not only the reputation of the resource, but also its owner.

All our attempts to protect the site from hacking sometimes come to naught due to the fact that cms in most cases consists of separate modules and plugins that are not checked for security, unlike the engine itself. Moreover, I want to note that the more popular the engine, the more and more often they will look for loopholes to break it.

It is known that the Yandex search engine quickly finds malicious scripts or codes on resources. In this case, its owner receives a warning by e-mail, and next to the link in the search results a warning appears, “The site is infected with a virus,” as a result, the number of readers is noticeably reduced.

Yandex analyzed the top 10,000 and determined that the most popular engine is wordpress, followed by joomla. A more clear picture can be seen in the diagram

Thanks to the research of the Safe Search team, it turned out that the most vulnerable cms is DLE, which is not so popular. The following is about Joomla 1.5 and Wordpess vulnerabilities.

Moreover, WordPress versions 3.2.1, 3.1.3 and 2.9.2 are particularly vulnerable, which are widely distributed and not on infected sites. Yandex simply recommends that webmasters working on these versions follow security rules more carefully; in just a month and a half, 57 new vulnerabilities were discovered in Wordpress, which are mainly located in additional modules. The danger comes from the components “wp-forum”, “wp-slimstat”, “wordpress automatic upgrade” and several others. More full review WordPress vulnerabilities can be found here.

If you are working on Joomla 1.5, try to pay close attention to security issues, special attention should be paid to the modules that are used for the forum. Since the beginning of the year alone, 38 new hacking loopholes have been discovered. A more complete overview of joomla vulnerabilities can be found on this page.

You can protect your website from hacking and unauthorized entry by following simple recommendations from the Yandex security service:

1.Monitor for engine updates.

2. Hide information about the version of the engine used and its extensions. This will make it more difficult for hackers to find holes.

The most vulnerable in our world are children

Childhood is the brightest and brightest part of a person’s life. Coming into this world, a weak and defenseless child can only count on the help and care of adults. The child begins to learn about the surrounding reality depending on how it is presented to him. How a baby will grow up largely depends on how his parents relate to this life. What values ​​prevail in the family, what occupies a priority position - material or spiritual - an indicator of what the current child will give preference to in the future. Children are very soft and pliable material ,what prevents you from raising a harmoniously developed personality, and what helps this process? It seems to me, first of all, the behavior of the parents themselves. Which of them thinks about the soul of a little person when, in front of his eyes, he starts a scandal with a neighbor or begins to condemn friends, acquaintances, who cares about what scars are left in the memory by the unseemly actions of adults. Deceive a child once, and he will remember it for the rest of his life, and then, following your example, he will deceive everyone, but you will be the first. Are you disrespectful to your parents? Change because someday you will be in their place, and your child will do the same to you. A person brought up in lies and hatred will sow and grow the same things. Teach a child to love, and he will be grateful to you, because he is happy only because he gives love to others and bathes in this love himself. Teach a child to love, as the wise books that have come to us from the depths of centuries teach, how much light they bring to our wounded souls .People have perceived the Bible as a fairy tale for many decades, but wasn’t the Apostle Paul right when he wrote beautiful and undoubtedly still relevant words, think about how simple it all is: “Love is patient, kind, love does not envy, love does not exalt itself, is proud, does not act outrageously, does not seek his own, is not irritated, does not think evil, does not rejoice in untruth, but rejoices in the truth; covers everything, believes everything, hopes everything, endures everything “Moms and dads, grandfathers and grandmothers, teach us to love!

7. Vulnerable areas body

I love the brave; but it’s not enough to be a swashbuckler, -
you also need to know who to cut down!

Friedrich Nietzsche


It is well known that a strong blow with a hand or foot causes sharp pain and extensive bruising in any part of the body. However, in a brutal fight (especially with several opponents), unaimed blows to areas are an unacceptable luxury. Oznobishin stated the following about this: “The strategy of a serious battle does not pursue the goal of simply “hurting” the enemy: if the latter is dangerous, then the effect of pain will only cause despair and anger, which will increase his strength tenfold. The strategy requires making the enemy unable to resist.” *

Therefore, the targets for your strikes should be not just any, but the most vulnerable places of the human body. These are nerve nodes, large blood vessels, fragile bones, joints. Their defeat, on the one hand, does not require much force, but on the other hand, it inevitably entails significant consequences. These may be: painful shock; semi-fainting state (what is called “groggy” in boxing); loss of consciousness; mechanical injury (dislocation, fracture, bleeding, muscle or ligament rupture); death. As a result, the enemy loses the ability to continue combat for a period of time ranging from a few seconds to infinity.

Before continuing to consider this issue, I want to make two clarifications. First of all, I'm talking about striking with limbs here, not with weapons. After all, our body is vulnerable to damage from piercing, cutting, chopping objects anywhere from the top of the head to the heels. Secondly, for now I am only talking about blows and do not touch upon such methods of influence as biting, pinching, twisting, levers.

There is no consensus among experts about the total number of vulnerable spots on the human body. For example, Chinese masters identify about 200 nerve points that have increased sensitivity to poking and pressing with their fingers. The specificity of this technique is that influencing these points requires minimal effort, but gives maximum results: the person experiences severe pain, or his arms and legs seem to be paralyzed, or he instantly loses consciousness.

It would seem, what more could you want?! Learn the location of two or three dozen such points, learn to hit them with the fingers of both hands, and you're done! You will become a very dangerous subject. However, it's not that simple. Firstly, most of the nerve points vulnerable to finger damage are almost always covered by clothing. Only those who have undergone special training can pierce a jacket, raincoat or coat, knitted sweater, or thick jeans with a finger. Secondly, to hit even a naked body, you also need to have well-hardened (“stuffed”) fingers, otherwise their dislocation or fracture is guaranteed. Thirdly, during a street brawl, its participants are usually unable to instantly determine the exact location of these points, since the position of the torso and limbs of each of the fighters is constantly changing, and their attention is scattered.
Where is the way out? The idea is to attack not microscopic nerve points, but rather large areas of the body and do it with a more massive weapon than fingers. As for such zones, hitting any point throughout their entire area causes devastating consequences. By “massive” weapon I mean the base and edge of the palm, elbow, knee, foot, head, fist, as well as fingers, but gathered together like a beak or a knife.

By bringing together tables, lists and anatomical diagrams from manuals on hand-to-hand combat for special forces units, I identified 30 “targets” that are indicated more often than others, and the destructive effect on which, in fact, does not require special force: that which is inherent in a teenager is enough 14-15 years old.

These targets are arranged in an order determined by their accessibility. The most vulnerable part of the body, of course, the head, but it is more difficult to reach than the legs or groin, especially if there are several opponents and they are taller (and I take exactly this situation as a basis). Therefore, the sequence of selecting targets for attack is as follows: legs from feet to knees, center line body in front, body on the sides, head, center line of the body in the back, arms.

If you are armed, then the number one target is your hands. The explanation here is simple. Whatever the aggressor tries to do to you, he does it with his hands - he grabs them, pushes, hits, strangles, waves a knife or stick... Therefore, by crushing his fingers, breaking his forearm, deeply cutting or piercing the back of his hand, you will reliably remove it is out of order. However, without a weapon, it is hardly possible to cause any serious damage to the attacker’s hands, unless you are a master of sports in sambo. For example, we managed to catch the massive forearm of a gorilla-like “bully”. Try to break it “with one sharp movement,” as the authors of some manuals recommend: you won’t have enough strength...

So, I will list the affected areas that unite the 30 targets mentioned above (together with the paired ones there will be more of them, not 30, but 45):

1) ankle joint - lower leg;

2) knee joint;

3) perineum - lower abdomen;

4) solar plexus - cardiac plexus;

5) interclavicular cavity - throat - chin;

6) hypochondrium - ribs;

7) collarbone - lateral part of the neck;

8) upper lip - base of the nose;

9) bridge of the nose - eyes;

10) temple - ear;

11) back of the head - seventh cervical vertebra;

12) between the shoulder blades - the central part of the spine;

13) lower back - kidneys;

14) elbow - armpit - shoulder;

15) fingers.

Rice. 24. The most important vulnerable points human body

As for some other areas of the body, often called “vulnerable”, they, in my opinion, do not meet the main requirement - to cause severe pain when damaged and incapacitate a person for at least a few seconds.

Let us now consider the consequences that occur as a result of striking the limbs at the targets listed here.

1. ANKLE JOINT (“LIFT” OF THE FOOT)

It is affected by a “stomping” kick from top to bottom, or a “football” kick in a horizontal plane from the front or side. It is better that the attacking leg is wearing shoes. This place is very sensitive in almost all people, because since childhood it has been protected by shoes, but there is no muscular cover here (Fig. 25).

Relatively weak blows to the ankle joint cause acute pain and deprive the opponent of the ability to actively use the leg. A stronger impact leads to the destruction of the small bones of the foot, causing a crack or even a fracture of the lower end of the tibia (small or large, depending on which side the blow is applied from). Swipe the Achilles tendon ruptures from behind at the level of the instep of the foot if the attacked leg is under load at this time and does not fly forward.

Rice. 25. Defeat ankle joint

2. SHIN (“BONE”)

The two tibia bones located here (the fibula and the tibia) are almost not covered by muscles, so the pain from a blow to them pierces the whole body, like an electric discharge. You can attack the shin with both the inner (in a “football” kick) and the outer (in a side kick) side of the foot, preferably with the hard edge of your shoe. However, you can hit with both the heel (heel) and the sole (Fig. 26). Just do not hit the shin with your toe, as it may slip and then the blow will not cause significant harm to the enemy.

Relatively weak blows to the shin cause acute pain and huge bruising, damaging the periosteum. Strong impact results in painful shock up to loss of consciousness, crack or fracture of the bone.

The direction of blows to the shin is predominantly from the front or side. An attack from behind on the leg, which is currently loaded with body weight, can cause temporary paralysis of the calf muscle.

Rice. 26. Damage to the lower leg (“bones”)

3. KNEE JOINT

It is unequivocally considered by all experts that the knee is best target for kicks in the lower level. It is convenient to hit it from all sides, with any part of the foot, at any angle (top to bottom, bottom to top, horizontally), with any movement - pushing, swinging, trampling (Fig. 27).

Relatively weak blows to the knee cause acute pain and force the opponent to moderate his ardor. A stronger impact leads to rupture of the knee ligaments, fragmentation of cartilage, dislocation or fracture of the bones that form the articular joint. Often a person becomes disabled after this. A moderate blow from behind (in the popliteal fold) is also accompanied by acute pain and partial destruction of the joint.

Rice. 27. Defeat knee joint

4. PERINEUM (GENITAL ORGANS)

This target can be struck with anything - with the toe and instep of the foot, the heel, the knee, the fist, the edge and the base of the palm, pressed together with the tips of the fingers (Fig. 28). You don’t even have to hit, but simply grab the genitals tightly with your hand and pull them towards you - to the side. However, men have protected this place since childhood. We all tend to purely reflexively cover our crotch with our hand or thigh when trying to attack it. Therefore, an attack here takes place only with a distraction of the enemy’s attention, for example, with a whipping blow to the eyes.

Even a slight impact on the neurovascular bundle located in the genitals causes acute pain and disables it for several tens of seconds. Stronger blows entail a painful shock up to loss of consciousness and guarantee severe injury with internal bleeding.

Rice. 28. Damage to the genital organs (perineum)

5. BOTTOM OF THE ABDOMEN (PUBIC AREA)

There is no muscular armor in the lower abdomen, and within the abdominal cavity there are numerous neurovascular plexuses. It is better to strike here with the toe of a shoe, knee, fist, or the tips of your fingers clenched together (Fig. 29).

A relatively weak blow to the lower abdomen is accompanied by severe pain and fainting. A stronger impact causes painful shock up to loss of consciousness, internal bleeding, fracture of the pubic bone or rupture of the bladder.

Rice. 29. Damage to the lower abdomen (pubis)

6. SOLAR NERVE PLEXUS (“SUN”)

It is located directly below the xiphoid process of the sternum. It is convenient to hit it with the elbow, knee, fist, heel of the palm, or the second phalanges of the fingers, clenched in the manner of the so-called “devil's paw” (Fig. 30). “Jocks”, overgrown with powerful muscles, find it difficult to break through the sun, but even they cannot keep their abs constantly tense. As you inhale, the abdominal muscles relax and this target opens up for destruction.

A relatively weak blow to the solar plexus causes acute pain, temporary cessation of breathing, reflex inhibition of the heart, a drop in blood pressure and, as a consequence, semi-fainting. The person bends in half and loses the ability to move for one or two minutes. A strong blow leads to suffocation, loss of consciousness and even death if it was directed from bottom to top.

Rice. 30. Damage to the “solar” nerve plexus

7. CARDIAC NERVE PLEXUS (“HEART”)

This target is located just below the left nipple. Everything that has been said about the “sun” is also true here. I will only add that with a strong blow to the heart, it can stop and then death will occur instantly. It is necessary to know about this, since the cardiac nerve plexus is more vulnerable than the solar plexus (Fig. 31).

Rice. 31. Damage to the cardiac nerve plexus

8. INTERCLAVICULAR FOSSUM (“FALL”)

It is located below the Adam's apple (the so-called “Adam's apple”), between the collarbones. There are no muscles here, so even a weak blow injures the trachea, which is accompanied by severe coughing, tears, and a feeling of suffocation. A strong impact causes throat bleeding, respiratory arrest, loss of consciousness and often death, especially if the blow was made by some object: the end of a stick, a ballpoint pen, etc. (Fig. 32).

It is best to strike the interclavicular cavity with the “beak” of the fingers gathered together, or with the thumb. In some situations, such as if you find yourself on the ground under an attacker, attacking the pit between your collarbones may be your only chance of survival.

Rice. 32. Damage to the interclavicular notch (“fossa”)

9. THROAT (Adam’s apple, ADAM’S APPLE)

This refers to the thyroid cartilage of the larynx, which protrudes forward from under the skin. It is struck with the edge of the palm, its base (if the head is tilted upward), with a “devil's paw” type fist, as well as with a fork formed by the thumb and the rest bent in opposite directions (Fig. 33).

A slight blow causes severe pain and suffocation. Consciousness, as a rule, is preserved, but the enemy loses the ability to take active action for a period of time from fifteen to twenty seconds to a minute. More severe exposure results in profuse bleeding from the mouth, painful shock and loss of consciousness, or fracture of the thyroid cartilage, rupture of the windpipe and death.

Rice. 33. Throat lesion (Adam's apple)

10. CHIN (CENTER OF THE LOWER JAW)

The main ways to hit this target are as follows: an upward punch with the fist, directly under the lower jaw (“uppercut”), an elbow strike from the side or below, and, finally, a short direct blow with the base of the palm with the direction of the trajectory of movement towards the top of the head (Fig. 34). The last of the three is the best. If you pass it exactly in the center, easily and relaxed, having gathered yourself only at the last moment, then it affects the cerebellum and knocks down the most powerful “jock”. Trying to hit the chin with your fist, you can break your hand at the wrist joint.

Scientifically speaking, when a blow to the chin occurs, a concussion occurs. vestibular apparatus and activity is temporarily inhibited cardiovascular system to provide the brain with oxygen. Both taken together cause fainting. In addition, sometimes such a blow causes a person to bite his tongue hard with his teeth.

Rice. 34. Chin lesion

11. RIBS (LIVER AND Spleen)

As you know, a person has 12 pairs of ribs. Of these, 7 pairs are called upper, and 5 are called lower, or false. On the right side of the body behind the lower ribs is the liver, on the left side is the spleen. Strikes to the lower ribs are applied with anything: the knee, foot, elbow, fist, heel and edge of the palm, but not with the fingers (Fig. 35).

As a result of bruising the ribs with relatively weak blows, a person experiences acute pain; he reflexively experiences an instant release of blood from both the liver and spleen. Both of these incapacitate him for some time. With a stronger blow, two or three ribs may break, which in itself makes breathing and movement difficult. But what is much more significant is that a strong blow causes the liver or spleen to rupture. And since both of these organs contain large number blood (they are a kind of “blood depot”), so the matter can end in death.

Rice. 35. Damage to the ribs

12. HYPOCOSTUM

This is the name of the area of ​​the body below the false ribs. A blow to this area, directed in a straight line from the right or left side into the body, causes intense painful sensations and internal bleeding. This is due to the fact that in the areas adjacent to the sides of the abdominal cavity there are large blood vessels and there are numerous nerve nodes. If the blow is directed from bottom to top, as if under the ribs, then it injures either the liver (and the gallbladder located under it) or the spleen. Such a blow, in addition, easily breaks the tenth rib (Fig. 36).

Of course, in order for a blow to the hypochondrium to penetrate inside the body, it must be delivered with a small striking surface - the toe of a shoe, a “devil's paw” fist, or a beak made from fingers clenched together. Or better yet, with the end of a stick. It is good to hit upward with the knee, the base and edge of the palm, or with the fist.

The matter is made easier by the fact that the majority of current urban residents have poorly developed muscles on the lateral surfaces of the torso. They don't mow grass, don't cut wood, don't dig soil - where do strong side muscles come from?

Rice. 36. Damage to the hypochondrium (on the left - spleen, on the right - liver)

13. CLAVILA

Even from a weak blow to the collarbone, a person experiences acute pain, and in order to break it, an effort of only 25 kilograms per square centimeter is required. Such an effort is accessible to both a teenager and an untrained woman. The direction of the blow is from top to bottom, the weapon of the body is the edge or base of the palm, the lower part of the fist, the head, sometimes the elbow (Fig. 37). It is important that with a broken collarbone a person cannot hit hard with his other hand or even with his legs.

With stronger impacts, the collarbone not only breaks, but is completely destroyed and injures the tops of the lungs, bronchi, and large blood vessels with its fragments.

Rice. 37. Damage to the collarbone

14. LATERAL SURFACE OF THE NECK

The carotid artery, jugular vein and vagus nerve pass through this place. As a result of even a weak blow with the edge or base of the palm, fist, or elbow, a person’s blood pressure drops, breathing becomes difficult, and orientation in space is disrupted. But the main thing is that he feels acute pain. With a stronger impact, loss of consciousness occurs (although blows of this kind are not life-threatening), or, at a minimum, the person falls to the ground (Fig. 38).

Rice. 38. Damage to the neck on the side ( carotid artery)

15. UPPER LIP (“FILTRUM” OR NASOLABIAL FOLD)

To be precise, we mean the area of ​​the face between the base of the nose and the upper lip. It is considered one of the most vulnerable places of a person. Here the nasal cartilage fuses with the cranial bone and the nerve ganglion is located (Fig. 39).

Even from a weak blow with the edge of your palm, a “fork”, or a fist, directed deep into the face, your opponent will feel acute pain. If you hit harder, you will experience a painful shock, concussion, loss of consciousness and, possibly, death. It all depends on the force of the blow, its trajectory and the accuracy of the hit. In any case, blood will flow, not from the nose, but from the upper lip.

Rice. 39. Damage to the upper lip (philtrum)

16. BASE OF THE NOSE

It is best to strike here with a “fork” between the thumb and other fingers, a “devil’s paw” fist (i.e., the second phalanges of bent fingers) or the base of the palm. The nose is a very sensitive organ, so a short poke is enough for any “jock” to throw his head back, and blood starts to flow from his nostrils. A blow to the base of the nose does not require any force, however, it is hardly possible to “knock out” a strong man with it. It should be used as a means of forcing the opponent to open his throat. He threw his head back and with the same hand you hit him in the Adam’s apple or push him in the chest, at the same time tripping him (Fig. 40).

Rice. 40. Damage to the base of the nose

17. BRIDGE OF THE NOSE (MIDDLE OF THE DOOR OF THE NOSE)

It is hit with the edge and heel of the palm, with a fist, with an elbow, or with the head. A light blow causes acute pain, a moderate blow causes painful shock (up to loss of consciousness), heavy bleeding, and complete loss of combat capability. A strong blow crushes the nasal bone and the cartilage attached to it into fragments, which can penetrate the brain and cause instant death (Fig. 41).

Rice. 41. Damage to the bridge of the nose

18. EYE

A blow to the eye is made with one thumb, with a beak made from all the fingers folded together, and also with the tips of four fingers during whipping blows (Fig. 42). However, there are cases when it was possible to knock out an eye with the heel of the palm. Never try to poke both eyes at once with two fingers spread apart, as is recommended in some instructions. This way you are more likely to break your fingers than gouge out your opponent's eyes.

Human eyes are very vulnerable. It takes virtually no force to injure them. However, getting into the eye is not so easy. Much more often, an attack to the eyes is used as a maneuver to divert the enemy's attention from the main blow. Well, in those rather rare cases when your finger actually sticks into the enemy’s eye, the latter experiences acute pain and loses orientation in the surrounding space. Simply put, after this he is exclusively concerned with the state of his organ of vision.

The eyes, together with the bridge of the nose, base of the nose and nasolabial fold form the so-called “T-zone” of the lesion. She is the main target for attacks aimed at the face.

Rice. 42. Eye damage

19. TEMPLE

Blows to the temple are extremely dangerous. A relatively weak blow is accompanied by a painful shock, concussion and loss of consciousness; a stronger impact breaks the temporal bone. It, in turn, pierces the adjacent area of ​​the brain and cuts the blood vessels passing there, resulting in instant death (Fig. 43).

The fact is that the temporal bone of the skull is very thin, and the cerebral artery passes directly under it. The temple is usually hit with a fist (more precisely, with a knuckle) index finger), the base of the fist, the phalanx bent thumb and sometimes with the elbow if the opponent is short.

Fig.43. Damage to the temples

20. EAR

This is an organ not only of hearing, but also of balance (the semicircular canals of the inner ear). The most effective is a simultaneous blow to the ears with the palms of both hands, bent like cups. As a result, a person feels a painful shock, dizziness, feels nauseous, and loses orientation in space. With a stronger impact, the eardrums may burst, and internal hemorrhage in the brain is also possible with fatal(Fig. 44).

They also hit the ear with the edge of the palm, the knuckles of the fist, the base of the fist, or the elbow. It is not difficult to pierce the eardrum with your thumb, driving it forcefully into the opening of the auditory shell, which entails wild pain.

Rice. 44. Ear damage

21. OCCIPTI (BASE OF SKULL)

This is where the neck connects to the skull. A blow to this place with the edge of the palm, its base, fist, or elbow is accompanied by acute pain, loss of orientation, and semi-fainting - if it is relatively weak. More powerful blow displaces cervical vertebrae, pinches or ruptures the spinal cord, as a result of which the person ends up in intensive care, or even in the cemetery (Fig. 45). In both cases, the enemy is instantly incapacitated for a long time. But it’s very, very difficult to hit the back of the enemy’s head well, especially if this enemy is tall and strong in build.

Rice. 45. Damage to the base of the skull (occiput)

22. NECK BACK

As you know, the human spine consists of 7 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar vertebrae, as well as the sacrum and coccyx, formed by fused vertebrae. The spinal cord nerve trunk runs inside the vertebrae. Spinal injuries associated with displacement or fracture of the vertebrae are accompanied by severe damage (partial or complete ruptures) of the spinal cord. Breaking it up cervical regions completely paralyzes a person. Gaps in thoracic region paralyze the abdominal and intercostal muscles, which makes breathing extremely difficult, and in lumbar region- paralysis lower limbs(Fig. 46).

Any blows to the spine with the rib and base of the palm, with a fist, and even more so with such a powerful weapon as the head, elbow, knee, foot are extremely painful and very dangerous. With a weak blow, a person feels acute pain, short time depriving him of the ability to continue the fight. A strong blow knocks him to the ground and completely incapacitates him, which can also lead to death.

23, 24, 25. THE GROUND BETWEEN THE SHOULDS, LOWER AND CENTRAL BACK

The three main targets on the back are: the valley between the shoulder blades, the central part of the back and the lower back (Figs. 47, 48, 49). As mentioned above, blows to any part of the spine are very painful and dangerous. Sometimes the tailbone is also indicated as a vulnerable place below the back, but any traumatologist will tell you that this is far from the case. The blow to the tailbone must be strong and directed exclusively from the bottom up, so that the person feels acute pain. But even if you manage to break it, this will not prevent the enemy from fighting; he will suffer from pain later.

26. KIDNEY

Kidney - large internal organ, its length in an adult is 10-13 cm and width 5-6 cm, with the left kidney being longer and thicker than the right. The kidney is a very sensitive organ; in addition, in the place where it is located, a large nerve passes under the very skin of the back - a branch from the spinal cord. Therefore, even a light blow to the kidney area is accompanied by acute pain. And the stronger it is, the higher the likelihood of kidney rupture with bleeding, painful shock and death.

Strikes to the kidney area can be made with both hands and feet, elbows, knees and head. But, I repeat once again, the stronger the blow, the more dangerous it is for health and life (Fig. 50).

Rice. 50. Kidney damage

27. ELBOW

Every adult has hit his elbow on some hard object more than once, and knows how painful it is. It’s as if an electric discharge pierces the whole body. But pain in this case is not the main evil. What's worse is that the elbow joint is quite weak and can easily be dislocated or broken.

A blow to the elbow with the foot, knee, fist, or heel of the palm from below causes acute pain, partial or complete rupture of the ligaments, dislocation, fracture (Fig. 51). The stronger the blow, the more tightly you hold the opponent’s hand, the more serious consequences it entails. It is clear that with a broken elbow the opponent is no longer a fighter. One arm is completely disabled, he is forced to support the broken one with the other, otherwise the slightest movement will cause acute pain in the broken joint.

28. ARMPITA (ARMPITA)

The brachial nerve plexus is located here, the median and ulnar nerves, the subclavian artery and vein pass through, and there are numerous lymph nodes and vessels (Fig. 52). A blow to this place with a fist, the beak of the fingers gathered together, one thumb, or the toe of a shoe with a relatively weak impact causes acute pain, making it impossible to attack. A strong blow is accompanied by partial or complete destruction of the shoulder joint capsule, painful shock, and sometimes leads to death.

Rice. 52. Armpit lesion

29. SHOULDER JOINT

Shallow glenoid cavity large sizes heads humerus and weakness of the ligaments of the joint capsule make the shoulder joint the place where, compared to all other joints, dislocations most often occur (from falls, impacts, bruises, etc.). A shoulder dislocation is often accompanied by a fracture of the upper end of the humerus. Thus, the anatomical features of this joint make it one of the most vulnerable places in the human body.

A relatively weak but sharp blow to the shoulder from the front or back quite easily leads to a dislocation. A blow to the shoulder from above causes acute pain, muscle numbness, ligament rupture or intramuscular bleeding - it all depends on the force of the blow and how well you hit the shoulder. Meanwhile, athletes usually kick the shoulder from the side to the inside, which is completely safe. It is clear that you cannot kick the shoulder joint from above, in front, or from behind; they hit there with the base and edge of the palm, with the knuckles and the base of the fist, sometimes it is possible to hit with the elbow - if the enemy is bent over. A lying opponent's shoulder can be knocked out with a foot blow (Fig. 53).

30. FINGERS OF THE BRUSH

It is common knowledge (at least among traumatologists) that fingers are easily injured. It is easy to knock them out of their joints or break them with a blow from the base of the palm, its edge, elbow, knee, or foot. It's even easier to break your fingers. For example, if your opponent catches you in a tackle, do not waste your strength trying to tear his hands away from you. Better start breaking his fingers. He'll let you go right away. Any finger can also be bitten off, cut off, crushed, if desired (Fig. 54).

So, in order to incapacitate a person, make him suffer pain, maim or kill him, much less force is required than “dummies” usually think. You just need to not swing your limbs randomly (maybe I’ll hit you somewhere), but purposefully attack the most vulnerable places.

Remember this not only during a fight, but also when training with partners. Otherwise you will kill each other.
