The subject of our conversation is as old and primitive as the method of destroying snowmen. Figuratively speaking, we will talk about eliminating the problem in the form of a single individual by damaging the latter with minimal physical effort on your part. F-phew! In more understandable language, we will help you quickly and without straining to force a person who is physically superior to you to abandon the idea of suppressing you.
Let's start with the fact that, although we will present below the methods by which you can quickly disable the human body, you will still have to make some efforts. Let's take for granted the fact that your opponent is a physically more developed / armed person / not alone in his desire to inflict physical violence on you (underline as appropriate). Taking into account the difference in the physical preparation of readers, we present options for influencing an opponent in increasing order of muscle work required to achieve the desired effect. Simply put, if you already know how to fight at least, press Page Down 3 times; if it’s very good and mean, then 7 at once.

The most vulnerable area of most living creatures is the eyes.
Your target may also be your enemy’s nose. A direct hit to a person in this respiratory organ will in any case lead to short-term shock. However, if you strike from the bottom up with the heel of your palm, aiming for the point directly under the bridge of your nose, the shock will be much stronger. Our nose is designed in such a way that shock absorption occurs in a plane parallel to the ground, and it is extremely sensitive to impacts perpendicular to the ground. The headbutt to the nose, which is popular in cinema, should not be ignored. If a trained person hits an enemy on the bridge of the nose with the seat of his thoughts, this will lead to profuse bleeding, a possible broken nose, and in some cases, knockout. However, we recommend that you strike such a blow only if your hands are occupied with some important artifacts, and your feet are wearing snow-white slippers with Vladimir lace, which you under no circumstances want to get dirty on this scoundrel. That is, it’s better to forget about it, unless, of course, your goal is a self-knockout, which will allow you to erase the shameful moments of your defeat from your memory. As an attentive reader, you have already noticed that the phrase “bottom up” has been repeated twice already. And this is not at all accidental. The vast majority of blows designed to instantly kill a person are delivered precisely along this vector, since it allows you to strike unnoticed and with force sufficient to achieve your misanthropic goal. This is why we are afraid of children and petite women.
When we started talking about vulnerable parts of the human body, you certainly immediately thought about this. Groin area and the testicles contained in it have always been a target for blows precisely because of their paradoxical sensitivity to meeting the shoes of other people. Oddly enough, one of the most important organs is the only one that is not protected by either bones or muscles. Due to the need for special storage conditions, the male gonads are forced to be in a vulnerable position. A precise kick with your toe into the treasured area will give you an undeniable advantage in the emerging discussion. In principle, this way of eliminating a person is the simplest and most effective. Its only drawback is its ethical side. We are of the opinion that you should only resort to this secret weapon in extreme cases, when you are truly in danger.
Amateur
Continuing our bloodthirsty narrative, let’s move on to the next cluster of areas of the human body (we’ve been wanting to write the word “cluster” for a long time). Impact on these organs will require you to have a higher level of physical fitness and general dexterity in this matter. Remembering all the people you have seen, you will undoubtedly notice that in addition to the nose and eyes, which we have already written about, ears grow on the head of any self-respecting person, which can also be a target for your crushing blows. A correct, accurate and strong blow to both ears at the same time can lead to rupture of the eardrums, bleeding in the ear, throat and nose, and loss of consciousness.
In his book “Secrets of the Martial Arts of the World,” J. Gilbey talks about the Soviet wrestler Slimansky, who for a long time was an employee of the state security agencies, but after the Hungarian events of 1956 he emigrated to the United States. This person describes hitting the ears with cupped palms, with all fingers pressed tightly together. As a result of such a blow, a person receives injuries to the middle ear and becomes disoriented in space. The creator of the famous combat dagger, William Ewart Fairbairn, also studied similar blows during World War II. It was considered the height of skill to sneak up on a sentry from behind and hit him on the ears, causing damage and stunning him. Returning from the legends about super-intelligence officers to harsh reality, we can say that a blow to the ear, even just one, in any case will give a person a lot of sensations. You must try to strike in such a way that your palm rests on the auricle. In this situation, even if you fail to stun the enemy or incapacitate him, the severe pain from the bruised ear cartilage and the blow itself to the sensitive area will give you two ways of developing events: finishing off your opponent by all means known to you or hastily disappearing from the scene . To maintain your optimistic mood, option number three, when a two-meter aggressor looks at you in bewilderment, scratching your ear, and proceeds to your gradual destruction, is not considered.
As you continue to study the human head, you suddenly learn that the thickness of the skull is different in all its parts. On average it is 5 millimeters, and in the most protected place, in the frontal part - up to a centimeter. In the temples, the bone is only 1–2 millimeters thick. Also located under the temple is the artery of the brain membrane. As you have already understood, this area is extremely vulnerable to attacks. If something happens in life that you decide to knock out the enemy with a blow to the temple, you need to do it wisely, if you don’t want to hear the phrases “exceeding the necessary self-defense measures” and “sushi crackers” addressed to you. The smart thing to do in this situation is to strike with the palm of your hand rather than the bones of your fist. You should not be zealous with the heel of your palm: this option can also become fatal, because even if you fail to knock out a person, your palm will land in such a way that the blow will spread to the eye, and this is already a double blow. Combo!
Truly, the head is a unique collection of points at which you can direct your rage, manifesting it in the form of merciless fists. Just when you thought you knew everything about the impact of force on the human skull, we pull out another trump card from our sleeve - the jaw.
So that you don’t stare with open bloodthirstiness at the heads of all the citizens around you, let’s turn your attention to your feet.
Although blows to the legs will not knock out the enemy, they may well force him to reconsider his attitude towards you or, at least, shock the enemy, giving him time to think and take further action. Some craftsmen advise mercilessly trampling your opponent's toes, putting him in a state of indescribable painful shock. The undoubted advantage of this option is that in case of failure, you can refer to peculiar national dances and gracefully parade somewhere far away with an elegant paso doble. If you want to inflict a more or less effective blow on your opponent, you just need to remember the last time you played football. You are required to make a simple “football” kick with the toe of your boot into the shin of an ill-wisher. The blow should be applied to the inside of the leg, where the bone is located, not protected by the muscle. To achieve this condition, it is enough to kick with your right foot on the right, and with your left, respectively, on the left limb of the adversary. The requirements for such a strike are accuracy, strength and preferably hard shoes. The nerve endings in the periosteum will immediately transmit your positive mental impulse to the owner of the lower leg. An unpleasant surprise for you may come from athletes with shin pain (although a strong blow will hit even such a trained leg) and people who cannot feel their legs. Hit them in the eyes with your fingers! Or just leave - they won’t catch up with you anyway. One should not lose sight of such an object for kicks as knee-joint.
Of course, there is a risk of causing serious injury to a person. However, if the villain is not hit, there is a risk of injury himself. The blow is completely identical to the previous one, the only difference is the target of the blow and its effectiveness. Much less force is required to injure a person in the knee. The knee joint, being one of the most complex joints of the human body, will respond even to a moderate blow delivered by the toe of a boot under the kneecap.
Having examined your head and legs for vulnerable points, you will involuntarily ask yourself the question of what to do if you think that poking a person in the eyes with your fingers is undignified, kicking him in the legs is somehow girlish, and pounding him in the groin is generally unacceptable. It is at this moment that an inconspicuous torso at first glance will appear before your eyes! This receptacle for the respiratory, digestive and circulatory organs cannot but arouse interest in you as a bloodthirsty nature. However, the internal organs are perfectly protected by bones and muscles. Although, as you understand, if everything were so hopeless, we would not even write about it. In the course of experiments and simulations of life situations, we found several points on the human body that you could easily influence to resolve disagreements with anyone.
For some, the phrase “blow to the liver” is associated exclusively with holidays, fatty foods, alcohol and other options for having a good time. But for you, street fighter, the liver is primarily a target for a blow that brings unbearable suffering to the victim, and to you the primal joy of an alpha male who defeats an opponent. This organ performs a number of important functions in the body: removing harmful substances from the blood, converting various substances into energy (glucose), hematopoiesis, etc. The liver is located on the right side of the abdominal cavity and is protected only by a muscular frame, and in some cases by fat. A blow to the liver leads to sharp, severe pain, the inability to straighten up and often move the limbs. Simply put, having received it in the liver, a person immediately assumes the fetal position and remains in this state for several minutes. To defeat this organ, you will need the simplest knowledge of anatomy and more or less developed impact force. If you're in the habit of punching concrete blocks, be careful. Liver rupture leads to serious consequences, and in some cases, immediate death.
The human body can respond very expressively to a blow to the solar plexus- a nerve node located in the very center of the human torso and controls the muscular diaphragm of the lungs and the muscles of most abdominal organs. When this point is hit, a spasm of the diaphragm occurs, which almost deprives the person of the ability to breathe. Short-term disturbances in the functioning of the heart also occur, which cannot but affect the general well-being of your opponent. Just like with a hit to the liver, you will need to invest in this hit in order to achieve the desired result.
Of course, there are many more ways to disable the human body. We decided that if we give you a little more information on this topic, then in the next issue we will have to write an article-guide for those who want to protect themselves from an aggressive madman who, with enviable stubbornness, attacks people, pokes his fingers in their eyes, hits their ears , kicks the knees and hits the crotch.
It only remains to say that the main factor that can hinder you is your own civilized consciousness, which will for a long time resist the decision you made to end the conflict in such a primitive but effective way as a fight.
Good day, Soldiers! This article is a chapter from the book “How to Guaranteed to Win in a Street Fight,” which can be downloaded from. In the book, the material is arranged more compactly and without any side deviations, as a result of which the material is easier to study, as they say, in practice, without jumping from page to page.
I bring it here for the reason that: “How is this so? The blog is dedicated to martial arts, but nothing about the vulnerable spots of the human body? It's a mess! So, the situation is as follows: the enemy is directly in front of you frontally.
Your hands are down, it doesn’t matter for him: they can be down, they can be in a fighting position, they can be released by inflicting small shoves on your shoulder.
Of course, no one allowed him to do this, and therefore it is necessary to instill in him respect for his neighbor. So to speak, “conduct explanatory conversations.” Actions in this case, of course, must be chosen as short as possible and in the closest accessible zones.
In the very first moments of the conflict, it is very important to bring the enemy into such a physical state that he will be unable to fight. To do this, you need to know the places where the force is applied, which are located on the front of his body, because the shortest trajectory between your bodies is, of course, a straight line.
I will list these zones, starting with the head, along with methods of approximate impact.
Impacts to the eyesight, for example, with with running blows with your fingertips in the manner of a “saw”. The fingers in this case are not pressed together, but follow each other, taking turns biting into the target, which, of course, is the “eyes”. It should be noted that the attack is carried out in a “whip” manner, and not in a “stick” manner, when the hand with completely secured joints strikes, since the first option is several times faster.
Blinding the enemy, even temporarily, or forcing the enemy to make the reaction you have planned, for example, throwing back the head followed by a full attack on the throat, can be done in other forms, for example, the back of the brush. This is rather a tactical strike, although any strike delivered is harmful.
Jaw twisting with a special blow with a twist if the impact is carried out with a fist, and with the center of the palm for a direct attack. In frontal positions, it is carried out by striking the base of the palm in a small circle after contact, when after the strike the base of the palm additionally makes a shifting movement in a circle away from itself and downwards.
The attack can be carried out with a fist and also with a twist after contact along the forearm. The blow displaces the jaw, displaces the joints. An additional rotation along the axis of the forearm and the remaining inertia turns the jaw out of its grooves.
Direct punch to the throat area. Of course, it needs to be exposed first, because the chin gets in the way a little. It’s simple: a direct blow with a fist or the back of the hand to the area of the nose, the enemy throws back his head - there is a double attack with vertical fists to the throat. Of course, such exposure is fatal.
Note the word "vertical" fists because fisting usually looks like a boxer's fist when the fist is horizontal and the elbows are pointing slightly to the sides. Strikes with a vertical fist are much faster (in the manner of . Has everyone seen the movie “Ip Man”? And Bruce Lee also preferred this form), especially if the index finger in the fists is not tucked like the rest, but is straightened and pressed against the palm with the thumb.
Point located on the edge of the jaw on a line running from the corner of the lip and down, with a very slight deviation from this line towards the ear. An impact in this zone, even the weakest, immediately makes itself felt, and if carried out “properly” it will fly, regardless of the enemy’s build.
To hit this point, you can use the base of your palm when you very clearly feel the support, the weight of the body, and without raising your shoulders in advance, so as not to give away your intentions. You can unexpectedly perform this blow and redistribute the force so that it goes straight through the elbow into the base of the palm, and from there, as if along an imaginary line of the spine, to the area between the back of the head and the ear of the other side of the body. Often, with such exposure, the cervical vertebrae also suffer. You can also use the center of the base of the palm in the manner of a sweeping strike with the arm secured in the elbow joint in the horizontal plane.
Of course, each blow is good for its own situation, but in this situation, the shape of the vertical fist is simply magnificent.
Center of the back of the head It is also a critical zone for life (slap on the back of the head - the head is buzzing. And you can hit it harder), if the skull is broken and other serious consequences. Yes, keep in mind that the photo shows the place where the blow is struck with your fingers, and not that you need to hit there with your fingers :)
If this does not happen, then exposure to this zone leads to loss of consciousness. The question remains: “How to strike the back of the head while in front of the enemy?” Answer: “With an original palm strike in the manner of catching the head.” As you can see, to carry out this effect, a close distance is required. Of course, you first need to practice this movement on some kind of simulators, for example, on a pole.
Kick performed along the neck with the edge of the palm upward, as in the first picture, towards the forehead, it allows you to break the first vertebra and displace it. If the blow is very good and powerful, then death will occur.
The second picture shows the most famous impact: a blow to the neck with the edge of the palm, directed perpendicularly relative to it.
A blow to the muscle bundle of the sternocleidomastoid muscle.
It is located under the ear down on the sternocleidomastoid muscle. The enemy goes “passed out.” When striking, the opponent's earlobe touches the surface of the palm, i.e., the blow must be delivered to the upper part of this muscle bundle.
You can hit either from the outside-in (then the palm is facing up) or from the inside-out (the palm is facing down).
Blows to the ears with correctly formed palms. Plus, this impact can be combined with pushing the enemy’s head away from you, movements of the thumbs, which, after carrying out attacks on the ears (the person is “led”, he becomes deaf, severe pain) are applied to the enemy’s eyes and repulsion is carried out by squeezing the enemy’s head away from the thumbs. myself.
A blow to the convex formation located behind the ear if there is a fracture in this part of the head, it is fatal. Of course, it is much easier to do this with an object.
A person has depressions at the back, on the neck, at the top. Probably everyone talks about them. So, hitting them turns off consciousness.
Of course, this also requires experience working on special simulators in order to learn how to strike with measured force.
Lateral catching on the nose from the side with a “leopard paw”. Of course, here you need to develop accuracy so that they don’t miss and the result will be good.
These were some vulnerable areas of the head.
Collarbone, which can be interrupted with a blade strike with the edge of the palm going slightly downwards, however in this case, the shoulder of the attacking hand itself must be raised, as in boxing, and even slightly higher, in order for the blow to enter the right place and with the right force. Don't raise your shoulder - there will be no strength, there will be no result.
It is necessary to remember the fact that if the strikes are prepared, the striking forms are well strengthened, and the ligaments are trained, then almost any area will be damaged, but to achieve such a level, of course, time is required and one should not believe any fairy tales that a “plastic fighting system” does not require training.
Also, the collarbone can be affected " with a hatchet» movement from above, if the hands are in a fighting position. It’s just an excellent form for quickly hitting the collarbones, which are much more difficult to break with the standard recommendation “with the edge of the palm from top to bottom, rubbing against the ear.”
« With a hatchet“you can break collarbones with bending movements of the hand, being both frontally in front of the enemy and to the side of him, and also if the enemy is in the “arms raised” stance, because this form can be bent under various sounds to the forearm, according to the current situation, as a result of which it has simply fantastic penetration, unlike other methods of influencing the collarbone, for example, with the edge of the palm from above.
As I already mentioned, in the collision situation under consideration, it is necessary to act along the shortest path, i.e., a straight line. This is precisely the previous method of influence and this method is carried out in a straight line, but in order to damage the collarbone with blows from the edge of the palm from above, you must first raise your hand, as a result of which the surprise factor is lost due to the lengthening of the trajectory.
Nerve center under the shoulder- the impact must be strong enough and then a fracture is possible. Located approximately where the shoulder muscles end and the biceps muscles begin.
Direct punch to the area of the xiphoid process just above its center: about a hundred kilos of force is enough for a person to “swim”.
Only the blow should fall on the bone, and not on the part of the body covered by muscles, which greatly softens the impact. If the blow is not perpendicular, but directed upward, then this is a guaranteed death of the enemy.
About " Sun"everyone knows, as well as about blows in abdominal area. During training, you need to learn how to hit it very accurately (not necessarily with all your might - the area is sensitive) to determine the reaction of your partner after such an impact.
Knee strikes.
From the side and back along the 45 degree line, in the upper part of the thigh there is a very good knockout point, at which the blow is delivered with the knee, respectively, along the upward trajectory. It is easy to determine by inflicting controlled blows on yourself and your partner. To work “for sure”, you can strike several times in a row: in this area there are several similar points: at least one at a time, you’ll hit. You need to know this zone, if only because being on this side of the enemy, this zone often turns out to be more accessible to destruction than others.
And finally. If it suddenly happens that the situation is extremely serious, then you will need a “more significant” blow, or, simply put, “for slaughter.” In addition to the already mentioned strike with a vertical fist in the throat, especially in the series, such as “a blow with the back of the hand to the nose, the enemy throws his head away and you thrust two or three vertical blows with fists into the throat, I will give another one from the same series and it looks like a blow with the heel of the palm towards the nose, so that the elbow is directly perpendicular to the point of impact. In this blow, it is very important not to slip on the tip of the nose, but to enter exactly into the cartilage, which is driven into the head slightly, slightly upward to the back of the head.
With such impacts, it is highly advisable to work with an object, because impacts with an unarmed hand, which is also poorly prepared, often lead to injury to the striker.
The opponent is in a certain stance, hands up, or simply grabbed you by the shoulder.
If the opponent is in a standing position, and you are still “thinking” what kind of things are going on here, then the most important thing to realize is the following: most likely, the opponent’s body will already be out of his hands, and we are not considering working from a sub-step here. In this case, you need to change your point of view and not work in a “standard” way: do not reach for the body, but look at what is within the reach of your hands. As a rule, these are the enemy’s hands exposed in a fighting position. So we will cripple them.
Moment one. If his hands are not clenched into fists, but are in a boat-type shape, then you can hit the nearest extended hand with the edge of your palm from above, with your finger from above. The fingers, of course, are immediately knocked out.
An additional bonus: often with such an impact, the palm additionally slips between the fingers, as a result of which not only the hand breaks, even outside the grip, but having done so, we additionally break his fingers. During training, it is necessary to work through all possible situations of such contact of the hands in slow battles in order to understand as many subtleties as possible.
Regardless of the shape of the hand of the exposed limb, if you have well-prepared hands, you can break the opponent's hands blows, delivering them in a “hatchet” shape to the back of the opponent’s hand. The impact is carried out along the midline of the hand. Footwork is important when you turn slightly in place with a slight bend in your torso and take a position where you can carry out such an impact with your hand. The impact involves body weight, which is key to a successful fracture.
With the arm extended, the effects on the nerve centers located below the arm from the elbow to the shoulder in the first, second, and third parts will also be effective. It is necessary to learn to identify these nerves in training, and to deliver blows that are almost weightless, because a strong impact can lead to injury. The zones are treated with blows from the fist when it is bent towards the outside of the forearm.
Be careful with these nerve nodes, as a strong blow to them leads to dire consequences, and even weak impacts to them are extremely unpleasant! When practicing, strike lightly and feel them not with “strength”, but with precision.
I repeat, the moments when the enemy is already striking are not discussed here, because when working at a “reaching” distance, defense is practically impossible, especially for beginners. This means that this situation is reminiscent of cowboy duels: whoever didn’t have time is late. That’s why vulnerable zones are outlined so that the enemy, after you carry out an attack, no longer struggles, but would only like to “crawl into the nearest bushes and die in peace.” Here we are talking about delivering strikes ahead of the curve through a specially developed sense, which suggests the optimal moment for delivering an undefeated blow, the feeling of the optimal moment. That is, someone used foul language and made threats, and in response you simply slapped him on the rib of his jaw - he was cut off. Well, or something like that
We injure the opponent's legs.
Kick to the groin. Well, there’s no need to explain anything here. I mention it only because it’s “to the point.”
Coccyx area very well hit by a regular knee strike. Additionally, the enemy can be secured with shoulder grabs, which, additionally after the blow, will allow the enemy to be knocked to the floor with subsequent finishing.
Impact to the groin area contributes to the fact that the joint flies out of its place, and even carries the enemy in the direction of the blow, as a result of which he falls face down. This effect is very good to carry out especially if the opponent imposes a fight, that is, such a common situation when both take on each other, like wrestlers or judokas.
It is in this position that this pushing blow is carried out: as if outward to the side, into the area of the groin contraction. That is, this is the most common kick with the foot turned outward, which they like to hit in the abdominal area. If during a strike the opponent is pulled towards himself, by grabbing him by the shoulders, for example, then injury to the opponent is guaranteed.
Knee cap. It moves easily in all directions and can also be damaged from all directions by knocking it out, for example, with a blow from the inside out and slightly upward, it is easy to knock it out of its original place. The blow is carried out both by the area under the toes and by the heel.
Fracture of the femur. For this effect, the knee strike must be delivered in the first third of the thigh, and even with the palm placed on top of the hip joint area in order to prevent the attacked part from escaping from the blow. With such a blow, the enemy is thrown up.
If the blow falls on the middle of the thigh, then the likelihood of a fracture is reduced many times, but the nerve center located in this area will be damaged.
The blow delivered along the line of the side below the kneecap is also interesting., especially if the leg is loaded with body weight.
You should also be aware of the effects on the foot, when it is in the position shown in the figure. The impact occurs along the foot into the ground. Injury will also occur in the case of other similar positions of the enemy’s foot, and this effect is extremely traumatic.
If the foot lies sideways on the ground, then in this case there will be multiple fractures. You can influence any part of the foot from above.
You can also work on the ankles from the inside with a certain laying movement. Exactly the same movement, only with the edge of the foot, is used in blows to the popliteal fold: a powerful “long” movement leads to the rupture of the popliteal fold ligaments and the bone coming out of the joint. We also remember about impacts with the edge of the foot in the ankle area - fractures.
Impact on the big toe It flattens it very well.
If the opponent is on the ground and trying to get up, then he does it with his hands, right? You shouldn’t miss this opportunity and try to use kicks to hit the toes, joints, break it, break the bones.
As I already wrote on the blog, there are three approaches to working with the enemy. The first is to teach him to respect you with his knockout blows. The disadvantage of this approach is that people lack knowledge about competent strikes, the kind from which the results are felt immediately. As a result, literacy disappears and is replaced by force and blows “in the square.”
The second approach is based on crippling actions and its goal is to cripple. Here it’s a little simpler, but still, very often some kind of sports “knots” and “twisting” are “knocked out”. And the actions can be even simpler. Well, the third approach: physical destruction. In principle, you should also know and be able to apply.
It is necessary, even before getting into such situations, to decide on an approach, although it can be changed in battle. Personally, I think the second approach is the most optimal: the approach of causing minor injuries.
There are a lot of such zones on the human body, many of them are prudently hidden by nature from easy access. However, many remained on the surface. Of course, the complete art of hitting pain points is a whole science that can be studied for more than one year. In order to use self-defense, it is enough to know and be able to accurately hit only a few basic ones.
I would like to talk about targeted defeat separately. Finding a list of instructions for the location of pain points is not at all difficult, it is difficult to use it. The fact is that painful points are affected by precise, measured movements, but it is extremely difficult to do this in a duel, when the enemy is constantly moving and reacting to your actions, and it is also difficult to apply sufficient effort without special training. That is, each
which you want to hit must be previously studied, the striking movements (and these can be strikes, bites, pressure, squeezing, etc.) must be practiced to the point of automatism and with the skill of applying full force. For this, both a partner (study and accuracy of movements) and projectiles (working out the full force of impact) are used.
So, applying pressure to pain points requires painstaking work, but the result is worth the candle.
The most vulnerable points of the head.
A blow to the temple.
The temple is one of the weak points of the skull. Deep under the temple is the artery of the brain membrane. The average thickness of the skull is 5 millimeters, in the thickest place it is 1 centimeter thick, in the temple area the thickness of the skull is only 1-2 millimeters. A blow to this area can cause a concussion, loss of consciousness and death.
A blow to the base of the skull.
The point is located at the base of the skull, at the junction of the back of the head and the first cervical vertebra. A weak blow to this area leads to loss of consciousness, a strong blow interrupts the nerve and leads to immediate death.
A blow to the top of the head.
The point is located at the top of the head. This is a rather weak spot in the skull. A weak blow to this point can cause a concussion. A strong blow can damage the brain, cause hemorrhage and ultimately death.
Hit to the back of the head.
This point is located in the center of the back of the skull at the junction of several bones and can be felt as a slightly elongated structure. This cavity is the weak point of the head. With a weak blow to this point, a concussion and loss of consciousness occurs. If the blow is strong, it can lead to hemorrhage and death.
A blow to the brow ridge.
These points are located above the eyebrows. Blood vessels and nerves pass through these areas. A moderate blow can damage them and cause bleeding in the eyes and loss of consciousness.
A blow to the lower jaw.
This point is located at the corner of the jaw below where it articulates with the ear. A blow to this area breaks the bone into small pieces. This area is also known as the "knockout area" because a side kick aimed at it strikes the cervical spine, causing the opponent to fall. This is one of the reasons why in real combat fighters often lower their chin to cover the point of the lower jaw.
Punch to the chin.
If you draw a straight line from the corner of your mouth, a certain perpendicular downwards. Then, intersecting with the line of the chin, an amazing point of defeat will be identified. Its property is that if even a light blow is applied to it in the direction of the cervical vertebra, it will cause a knockout effect.
This point is located on the nasal bone, between the eyebrows. The nasal bone is thick at the top and thins at the bottom; there is a small vein in the center that goes to the nasal cavity. A blow to this area can easily damage the nasal bone and lead to severe bleeding and difficulty breathing. In addition, a blow to the nose is very painful and impairs vision.
Hit to the cheek (above the side of the jaw)
this point is relatively weak. A blow to it leads to a fracture of the jaw and damage to surrounding blood vessels and nerves. If the opponent's mouth is open and the blow is struck at a downward angle, the jaw will fall out of its socket, causing severe pain.
A blow or slap to the ears.
There are many blood vessels and nerves running near the ears. A blow to the ears damages the outer ear and eardrum.
A blow to the eye.
The eye is one of the most vulnerable places on the human body. Even a slight poke in the eye with a finger can temporarily blind a person and cause him severe pain. The elasticity of the eye allows it not to be damaged even by deep pressure, so a dosed, but strong enough force can deprive the enemy of resistance, but will not deprive him of life or vision. Of course, there is a risk, the effort in this case cannot be accurately calculated, but nevertheless, when saving your life, you should not worry about the health of the aggressor.
The most vulnerable points of the neck.
A slash to the back of the neck.
This point is located near the third vertebra of the neck. A slight blow to it causes displacement of the vertebrae, which as a result puts pressure on the spinal cord. A medium-strength blow will knock out the opponent and can lead to serious complications. A strong blow that interrupts the nerves of the spine leads to immediate death.
Slash to the throat (thyroid cartilage)
The thyroid cartilage (in common parlance, the Adam's apple) is surrounded by numerous blood vessels and nerves, and behind it is the thyroid gland. A blow to the throat causes severe pain and loss of the ability to breathe. If the opponent's head is tilted back when striking, the result of the impact will be much greater.
The most vulnerable points of the torso.
Impact to the sternum (solar plexus)
The sternum is located in the center of the body. In this area is the heart, below the liver and stomach. There is no protection in the form of ribs. Therefore, a blow to this area directly affects the heart, diaphragm and nerves between the ribs. A blow to the solar ventricle causes severe pain in the walls of the stomach and difficulty breathing. The enemy loses the ability to defend himself. A severe blow can lead to stomach bleeding, heart failure, liver rupture, internal bleeding, loss of consciousness and, in some cases, even death.
A blow between two ribs.
Usually the blows are directed to the 7th, 8th and 9th ribs and their connecting cartilages. On the left is the heart region, on the right is the liver. Ribs 5 through 8 are the most curved and the easiest to break, especially where the bones meet the cartilage. A strong blow to this area can cause a heart attack, liver damage, internal bleeding and possibly death.
A blow to the moving ribs.
Movable ribs are located at the bottom of the chest. These are the 11th and 12th ribs. They are not attached to the sternum. Since the ribs are not secured in front, the impact will cause them to break inward. This, in turn, can lead to their penetration into the liver or spleen, which is deadly.
A blow or pressure on the armpit.
Many blood vessels and nerves pass through this area. In addition, this cavity has no muscle or bone protection. Attacking this area with the fingers can cause an electric shock-type sensation and temporary loss of motor ability in the hand. Strong pressure can cause damage to nerves and blood vessels, making it difficult to move the arm.
A kick or hand to the pubic bone.
This area is very sensitive. A blow to it is quite painful and leads to the inability of the enemy to continue resistance.
Kick or hand to the crotch
Many nerves pass through this point, and above are the genitals and bladder. A slight blow to this area will cause very severe pain. A strong blow can rupture the bladder and cause shock.
A kick or hand to the tailbone.
In this area, the nerves are relatively protected and a strong blow can damage the central nervous system, causing severe pain and possible paralysis.
A blow to the kidneys
The kidneys are located very close to the posterior wall of the abdominal cavity. From an anatomical point of view, the kidneys do not have protection in the form of ribs and are very vulnerable. When struck, severe pain occurs, kidney rupture and profuse bleeding are possible.
A blow to the back area opposite the heart.
A blow to this point can cause shock, as there is a direct effect on the heart. This exposure can be fatal.
The most vulnerable points of the legs.
A blow to the kneecap.
A blow to this area causes severe pain. The greatest effectiveness occurs when the supporting limb on which the body weight is concentrated is attacked. The result of this impact will be damage to the tissue under the fibula and tibia.
A blow to the outside of the knee.
This impact will cause the joint to move in an unnatural direction, bending inward, and cause ligament damage as well as a tear between the bones of the joint. Additionally, a strong blow can damage the main peroneal nerve, causing severe pain.
A blow to the inside of the knee.
This impact will cause the leg to bend outward and damage the ligaments and tendons around the kneecap. The best angle to strike is a sharp downward angle towards the back.
Practice when practicing techniques in pairs should always be accompanied by practicing defeat That is, the ability to hit pain points on the human body should turn into a skill that you no longer think about, which acts on its own. At the same time, when practicing strong blows, you must strive to perform them precisely in these zones.
In the world of martial arts, it is common to dream of a super move that no opponent can defend against. This technique will knock down any opponent, regardless of their training. And he will be a guardian angel for the one who owns it.
Many people believe that there are no such techniques. Allegedly, if they had existed, the one who mastered such a technique would have beaten everyone long ago. Others rightly say that such techniques are kept secret. They are opened after many years of preparation by the most dedicated students. Any master has several such secrets. And these are pain points.
Why do you, a civilian, need them, you ask? For self-defense. If you press with all your might on one or a couple of such points on the attacker’s body, you will be able to stand up for yourself.
We bring to your attention 12 pain points on the human body. We hope you never have to deal with those who want to harm you. But it’s better to know about them, isn’t it?
Strike in the eyes
The eye is one of the most vulnerable places on the human body. Even a slight poke in the eye with a finger can temporarily blind a person and cause him severe pain. The elasticity of the eye allows it not to be damaged even by deep pressure, so a dosed, but strong enough force can deprive the enemy of resistance, but will not deprive him of life or vision. Of course, there is a risk, the effort in this case cannot be accurately calculated, but, nevertheless, while saving your life, you should not worry about the health of the aggressor.
A blow or slap to the ears, neck area
There are many blood vessels and nerves running near the ears. A blow to the ears is not only very painful, but also damages the outer ear and eardrum.
Slash to the back of the neck
This point is located near the third vertebra of the neck. A slight blow to it causes displacement of the vertebrae, which as a result puts pressure on the spinal cord. A medium-strength blow will knock out the opponent and can lead to serious complications.
Hit to the Adam's apple or below
Any adult can, with an action directed at the throat, transfer his opponent to “another world”; it doesn’t require much force, just a poke in a certain direction. But this is science for special forces, who have to engage in mortal combat. But it is enough for a “mere mortal” to know that, for example, a gentle tap on the Adam’s apple with your fingers will stop any attacker, because in this place there are no muscles that cover the cartilage.
Impact to the sternum (solar plexus)
The sternum is located in the center of the body. In this area is the heart, below the liver and stomach. There is no protection in the form of ribs. Therefore, a blow to this area directly affects the heart, diaphragm and nerves between the ribs. A blow to the solar plexus causes severe pain in the walls of the stomach and difficulty breathing. The enemy loses the ability to defend himself. A severe blow can lead to stomach bleeding, heart failure, liver rupture, internal bleeding, loss of consciousness and, in some cases, even death.
Hands
Human hands are dotted with many nerve endings. If you squeeze the area between your opponent's fingers too much, he is likely to lose his composure and loosen his grip.
A blow to the kidneys
The kidneys are located very close to the posterior wall of the abdominal cavity. From an anatomical point of view, the kidneys do not have protection in the form of ribs and are very vulnerable. When struck, severe pain occurs, kidney rupture and profuse bleeding are possible.
Impact to the stomach area
This place is located just below the sternum. Nearby are vital organs (heart, liver, stomach). This is where the largest concentration of nerves is located. There are no ribs in this area, so it is unprotected and a blow to it produces a very strong painful effect. Painful shock, difficulty breathing, stomach bleeding, interruptions in heart function, loss of consciousness - this is not a complete list of the consequences of such a blow.
Kick or hand to the crotch
Many nerves pass through this point, and above are the genitals and bladder. A slight blow to this area will cause very severe pain. A strong blow can rupture the bladder and cause shock.
A blow to the kneecap.
A blow to this area causes severe pain. The greatest effectiveness occurs when the supporting limb on which the body weight is concentrated is attacked. The result of this impact will be damage to the tissue under the fibula and tibia, as well as the sciatic nerve.
Impact to the tarsal bone
If the tarsal bone is damaged, it will not only be difficult for the opponent to walk, but even to stand. This is an excellent way of self-defense against a large opponent. Attack him by actively "stepping" on his feet and trampling on them. Heels would be very appropriate here.
Translation and adaptation: Marketium
This point is located slightly below the armpit. When attacked, the enemy will not be neutralized, but will feel severe pain. Since this point is very difficult to reach, it is not effective.
The brachial artery passes through the axillary region and contains several nerve endings. Therefore, when struck, the nerves are affected and sometimes damaged, resulting in paralysis of the arm. In addition, if an artery is damaged by a knife blow, this can even lead to death (if the blood is not stopped in a timely manner).
Back of the elbow
When you hit this point, it feels as if an electric discharge has passed through your hand. This is a very painful point because part of the ulnar nerve is located here. If the elbow is severely damaged, sharp pain will be felt in the arm and shoulder. The successful outcome of many battles will depend on the power of the blow to the point.
In addition, even a slight blow to the elbow joint while the arm is straight can damage it and break the arm.
Palm
In the palm, the nerve endings run from the thumb, then cross the outer side of the entire palm and reach along the rib to the little finger. Nerve endings are especially sensitive in three places: between the thumb and index finger, between the middle and ring fingers, and along the bone near the little finger.
In the area of the hand between the thumb and index finger there are ligaments, so when you press on this place it becomes, at least, unpleasant. But if the opponent has strong hands, then there is no point in putting pressure on this point, since this will not lead to the desired result.
If a penetrating force is applied to the points, a sensation of sharp pain will arise in the hand. These places are often hit with the aim of knocking various objects out of their hands.
Fingers
Fingers are very vulnerable and can easily be damaged or broken. Very often the opponent's fingers are damaged so that he does not have the opportunity to clench his fist. It is enough to dislocate just one finger to protect yourself from many of the enemy's grappling techniques.
If the fight is with knives, then the fingers are the main target, since after their injury the enemy is practically defenseless.
Hands are very good targets for an opponent, since access to them is usually open. Blows to the above points cause severe pain, and if heavy blows are applied to them, they can even lead to broken arms.
It is especially useful to know the location of pressure points on the hands of women and children for self-defense.
