One of the strategies or tactics that attract many people to ninja martial arts and the study of self-defense is to use pressure attacks. But most students do not know that there are different types of so-called "pressure points". In this article I will discuss not only the different types of “points”, but also the best way to attack each point. If you are serious about developing advanced abilities in self-defense — regardless of whether you are interested in ninja training, you should be able to see beyond the obvious and use your methods in more than one way.
I think the temptation to workout under pressure is based on the belief that you can just touch someone and you get instant control of the situation. But, except in rare cases, the use of methods that attack pressure points are only those methods. Tools in your arsenal that will help you ease your defense, like any other technique, tactic or strategy.
Nothing else.
The point here is that I give students the opportunity to learn weapons. A weapon or trick as a pressure attack ...
... can not and will not be able to compensate for the lack of skill!
However, there are different types of points. These “points” are known as Kyusho (pronounced "cue-show") in Japanese art Ninjutsu - Ninja art. However word Kyusho in itself, does not mean "pressure point". It means "sensitive area."
Each type of point causes a different type of pain and, as such, causes a different type of reaction from your attacker when applied. The main categories of pressure points include:
1) Nervous centers.
2) Sensitive areas on the bones.
3) Weak parts of the structure of the human body.
4) soft tissue areas
Each type of kyusho is different, both in makeup and in size. Therefore, each of them has a "best practice" or suggested a way to attack it.
For example, the nerve centers — parts of the body, commonly referred to as “pressure points” —can be accessed in two main ways — depending on the point and the results you are looking for. Most of them can be damaged using pressure and strength, concentrated on the tips of the fingers. Most of the points can also get stuck.
Changing both the pressure and the direction that a force applies to a point also changes the reaction you get from your opponent. That is why it is vital that you know what you will get when you influence what you attack. Otherwise, you might find that “what you get” is more than you wanted!
As a general overview of other types of Qusho, here is a guide for each:
Sensitive areas on the bones. This includes areas such as the upper part of the sternum in the throat, the crests around the orbit of the sockets, and the bones in the arms and legs, to name a few. While many of these areas can be pressed, they are best obtained through astounding ones. And it's best to use fists that have fingers that create smaller profiles. Thus, you concentrate the energy of your attack on the largest possible area.
Weak body parts. This includes many goals that you probably already know about, but based on the general perception and definition of “pressure points”, you would not think about it. These “weak parts” include the groin, along the inside of the legs (mid-thigh to the corners), nose, eardrums, etc. These targets can be removed, grabbed and stabbed depending on the strategy and the results that you and # 39 ; look for.
And finally ...
Areas of soft tissue. The body is covered with skin to protect not only from the elements, but also from the rest of the world. As a result, there are many areas of the skin surface that are designed to be very sensitive to touch, so that they can act as early warning mechanisms that cause our muscles to respond and cover an increased area.
I know this may seem a bit confusing, but this is a good example of why my students should have "Gray Anatomy" or another good anatomy book. The more you can know about the composition of the human body, the better you can do 2 things:
1) Protect your own weaknesses and ...
2) Use it against him!
A few good examples of these weak areas include:
Soft skin on the inside of the upper arms and legs. This can be grabbed and pinched to create a burning pain.
Eyes yourself - they can be stabbed, touched or even punctured.
Outdoor ears you can grab, stab and ride (be careful - they are turned off!)
Face side behind the eyes, but right in front of the ears. This can be raked with fingernails.
Etc
One could argue about the placement of many of these weak points and parts of the body. But no matter what category you put them in, if you recognize them as goals, know how to attack them, and you are clear about the answer you most likely will get.
