    Death points don't exist. Pain points don't work.

    Pain points don't always "work". Pain complaince doesn't always work.

    Ask George Dillman, he's the "go to guy" for pressure point seminars these days.

    I was shown a few pain compliance techniques that actually do hurt when applied. The only thing is, you have to be able to put a person in a position where you can apply the techniques to them.

    One technique I was shown is where you apply a goose-neck armbar (for all you Kenpo people) to someone, then transition into a shoulder-pin on the ground. If they try to escape, you use the knuckles on the bend of your fingers and drill them into the triceps tendons on the back of the arm. It won't really do damage to the tendons, but causes a buttload of pain when applied properly.

    I find that hitting point "Gonads 2" with "Ye olde soccer kick" works very well.

    Lots of pressure - very much "to the point" :D

    Eyes, groin, throat. Alot of others are way too small and precision based. You have to spend a lot of time training to work them, and that means you'll wind up not being trained in actual fighting well enough to be able to get to them. Not worth it, if you ask me. As for Dillman, he's supposedly getting into that "no touch" thing now, so I'd really take his stuff with a grain of salt...

    I subscribe to the theory that if you hit someone hard enough, you create your own pressure points.

    uuuh, 1ONEfighting, something's up with your signature photo
    As for pressure points, they DO work in that they're painful, it's just that some people seem to have more pain tolerance than the PP's inflict. But death points, can anybody give me an example of a death pressure point? :confused:

    Sure, there's this point on the neck where if you hit it just right, they die. But you have to have a blade in your hand. And it helps to have a sort of sawing action.....

    i subscribe to yoda's pain point! (big nasty always says: slap some s.k.i.n. swift kick in nuts)

    pressure points for pain don't always work because people have different threshhold for it.

    {finger/ thumb to eye is always a good place to start}

    Hi

    Hi

    There are pain points? that work everytime. but you have to train in em.
    Also there are Death Points?
    But no one in their right mind would post em on here.
    Pressure points do work if you train in em and they dont work if you dont.
    They are used by LEO, Bouncers and Millitary the world over and have been for decades ceturies even.

    why if they dont work?

    People knock what they dont understand.

    Hi Iain

    Go along to one of Vince Morris's seminars in Nottingham. Look him up on the interweb. Although Vince is in the states a lot now I'm sure you can find one of his instructors teaching in the Nottingham area.

    You'll learn all you really need to know about vital points there.

    For me, I don't like the "mystical" ideas of pressure points and such. We train (probably as most people do) to strike and attack the weakest parts of the body. I don't just punch you in the face, I go for the senisitive parts. To me, that is what pressure points mean.

    Granted, if you train in pain compliance, small joint locks, and non-'bust the person up' techniques (like for use in a public school), we use senistive areas to help with escort techniques. For example, trying to put a goose neck lock on someone is pretty tough... if you tweak the nerves on the inside of the forearm you can make it a bit easier.

    As far as using pressure points and sensitive areas in fighting, I do. They are my targets and to me, pretty self explanatory. (If you pumch someone in the body, you may or may not hurt them, but a strike to the solar plexus should knock their wind out.) "Death touches" and stuff like that, I have never seen it done but who knows? I know some poeple who believe in a lot higher application of pressure points and I do respect them.

    Bottom line: Learn about the body so you can attack in more efficinet ways. Don't look for magical one-touch techniques. Being good means hard work and focus and reliance on basic skills. (Just my opinion.)

    Pain that isn't really damaging me isn't going to stop me once I've got that choke locked on, and yes I have practiced doing chokes against a couple of people that said their PP's would stop me. And cheers to Yoda for giving me the idea to try it out ;)

    PP do work for PAIN, you speak about things you do not know anything about. Try training someplace.

    Dillman is a joke his seminars do not teach true okinawian TUITE/KYUSHO. He takes the concepts and shows them in a manner that will never work. For every effective vital/presure point a western medical answer can be provided.
