The human body is an amazing apparatus, since ancient times we have studied our body in the hope of discovering all the secrets of our body. Years of study have made us understand that our body, although it looks perfect, also has a lot of flaws.

We used to call them pain points. Pain points- These are vulnerable places on the body, a blow to which causes acute pain in a person. They are called dots because of the method of pinpointing weak spots.

How to determine the strength of the impact

The modern method for determining the force of impact on a painful point is determined by five levels:

1. 1. First the level of this weak blow, which does not cause serious damage to the attacker, but serves only as a distraction for retaliation to the opponent's attacks.
   2. Second has a slightly stronger effect in a fight compared to the first.
   3. The third same - these are attacks that can lead to stunning the enemy or numbness of the affected limbs. Such techniques will allow you to neutralize the enemy for a short period of time.

1. Impact on points fourth level can have serious consequences, blows often lead to injury or loss of consciousness, sometimes the result of interaction with points is paralysis.
2. blows fifth levels are extremely dangerous for the opponent's health, techniques can be fatal.

Now you should pay attention to the fact that all pain points of the body can be divided into conditional groups - points of the head, torso and legs.

Head pain points

The first points we will look at are the points of the head. These include: eyes, nose, ears, temples, lips and chin.

Eyes

The eyes are one of the most vulnerable parts human body, any blow to them will cause pain. To damage the eyes, a simple “fork” technique is suitable. However, there is a possibility that your fingers can intercept and twist, be on the lookout.

Even a mild direct blow to the nose almost guarantees bleeding and severe discomfort. For more effective result blow, it is recommended to use a “catchy” blow with the knuckles on the convex part of the nose to the side. Such a blow guarantees a painful shock to the opponent.

Whiskey

In this place, blows have the most serious consequences, since the skull is most vulnerable in this area, traumatic nerves and arteries are dangerously close to the surface of the skin. Most different types of impact can be fatal or severe injuries heads.

Upper lip

She is one of the most vulnerable parts of the head. A powerful blow at an angle of 20-30 can cause brain injury, and the usual burning pain in the area of ​​application.

Selections

attacks back side hands provide optimal effect, when using fisticuffs, damage to the hand is possible.

Pharynx

Vulnerable point - a depression at the bottom point, you should use the poke method with your fingers. The attack causes breathing difficulties and spasm in the lungs.

Adam's apple

Most attack options in this place are fatal. It is recommended to use tearing grips.

An attack with the back of the hand knocks out the opponent.

Torso pain points

Solar plexus

The blow should be delivered with a fist. Such a blow causes burning pain, which causes a person to bend or kneel.

Attention: too strong a blow to the solar plexus can lead to death!

Armpits

In the armpit, the large one passes close to the skin, so any blow there causes severe pain, temporarily paralyzing the enemy.

Belly, groin and kidneys

A punch to the stomach forces the opponent to bend, which will allow additional blows to the back or neck, a kick toe is no less effective.

The groin is one of the most convenient points for a strike. A kick, fist, palm, knee immobilizes the opponent.

Hits on the kidneys can cause nervous shock and death without proper medical treatment. help, blows should be applied with the edge of the palm, as well as with the knee.

false edge

A blow to this rib can be applied from both sides of the body, but a stronger effect is manifested by a blow to the right side of the opponent. You should hit with your elbow, knee or edge of the palm.

Pain points of the legs

Lap

Blows to the knee, its lateral part and to the patella should be applied with the edge of the boot. This technique immobilizes the enemy, damaging the ligaments and the knee joint.

Ankles

The blow should be applied with the outer edge of the boot, keeping it perpendicular to the ankle. Kicking with the toe of the boot is extremely ineffective and it is recommended not to use it.

Shin

In the shin area, the bone is the least thin and, accordingly, poorly protected. The impact with the outer edge of the foot at the level of 1/3 of the height of the lower leg from below is most effective.

Foot

The most vulnerable and fragile bones are located in the foot. Blows to these bones easily lead to their destruction. Basically, these are strikes with the heel or foot from top to bottom. It is recommended to carry out when the enemy is behind you.

Strikes on pain points are often used in special combat techniques. Special combat techniques are aimed at ensuring a person's safety in situations where his life is threatened by a mortal threat.

Not a single special combat technique is aimed at deliberately killing a person, but only for disarming (immobilizing) the enemy.

Watch the training video in which a self-defense specialist talks about working with pain points:

Everyone has pain points, since we are all human, and therefore we are all vulnerable. But finding these very points on our body still does not mean anything, because, firstly, you need to know where they are, secondly, you need to know how to act on the point, and thirdly, you need to choose the moment to strike. On the blog, earlier we talked about some pain points, such as the Adam's apple, groin, solar plexus, but these are far from all parts of our body, by acting on which, you can quickly disable an opponent.

Pain points

Hit on the ears

A blow to the ear with a fist will not give the same effect as a simultaneous blow with palms gathered in a boat on the ears. We put our palms in a boat, and beat on the ears. The effect will correspond to the strength and technique of the blow: shock, damage to the eardrums, or internal bleeding.

A blow to the temple area

In the temporal region there is a bone called the sphenoid, and a blow to this bone, to this part of the skull, can be fatal. The temporal bone, which is a little further away, is much stronger than the sphenoid. It is not difficult to get into the temple area even in the midst of a fight. It can be either a side punch, or. I'm not talking about kicking under certain conditions, and hitting with foreign objects.

Impact on the eyes

Probably everyone knows that the eyes are a pain point, but not everyone knows how to act on this point. In a life-and-death battle, knowledge of the impact on the eyes can help. Firstly, this is an ordinary pressure on the eyes. thumbs, which is very annoying. If you try to hit the eyes with the index and middle fingers when the hand imitates a slingshot, then most likely you can harm yourself, and not the enemy. Yes, the opponent may suffer to a certain extent, but that does not mean that your fingers will remain undamaged. A blow to the eye can be delivered by bending the first and second knuckles of the middle finger while the fist is clenched in this form. That is, we squeeze the fist, but raise the middle finger a little up. This blow was discussed in the article "". You can also hit the eye with the middle, index and ring fingers folded into a bundle. We bend the middle finger so that the pads are in the same plane.

A blow to the nose

A good blow to the nose makes you “think about life”, but you can strike in such a way that a person no longer has to think about life. Of course, it all depends on the strength of the blow, and the average person is unlikely to be able to strike, but nevertheless. A blow from below with the base of the palm (the heel of the palm) can cause the nasal cartilage to enter the brain and "all". Of course, like many other blows, without preparation, he simply will not pass.

A blow to the upper lip

The upper lip, and in particular the connection of the nasal cartilage with the skull, is a rather vulnerable place. In the region of the upper lip, the nerves are close to the surface. The blow must be applied not with a fist, but with the edge of the palm, and as you could already understand, in upper part lips where there is a connection with cartilage. The blow must be applied at an angle, directing the blow upward diagonally. Even a not very strong blow causes pain, and a very strong one can lead to a concussion of the brain.

Chin punch

If we talk about a blow to the chin, then there are two options.

The first option is real, which has been tested by many in their own skin. The physics of a knockout come down to the fact that the chin is a lever for the rapid movement of the head. Due to this, the brain is displaced, hitting the skull, and as a result, a short circuit, which is called a knockout.

The second option can be called mythical, which describes the effect on the nerve that goes out on the lower jaw. From a direct impact on the nerve, there will be no knockout, the maximum is a temporary numbness of certain areas.

These are not all pain points. Let's continue.

Strike in the Adam's apple

Described in one of the articles. This kind of blow can be fatal due to suffocation, which is provoked by swelling of the larynx. Such a blow can be applied as a branching of a large and index finger, so the edge of the palm and forearm. Naturally, a blow using shock technology will be more powerful and more dangerous. Just like the rest of the blows, it’s not enough just to talk about it, and even the knowledge of the technique does not mean that you will be able to carry it out in a real fight. As an option - start a fight with this blow, and finish it with it.

A blow to the lower part of the larynx

The point, which is located at the very bottom of the throat, between the upper segments of the clavicles, in the fossa, is also painful. If you hit there, then the opponent starts coughing and this causes an attack of suffocation. A blow to the lower part of the larynx can be carried out with correctly folded fingers. But the main thing here is not to miss, and to have prepared fingers.

Carotid blow

A blow to the carotid artery cannot be fatal if it is fast. With prolonged compression of the carotid artery, death occurs. I would like to note that there are two of them - left and right. The blow must be applied with the edge of the palm a little closer to the vertical line of the ear. You can hit both from the shoulder, palm down, and palm up, depending on the situation.

Hit on the back of the head

A blow to the back of the head, depending on the strength of the blow, can lead to various consequences. It is not necessary to beat very hard for a person to lose consciousness. Even the cuff is sensitive, to say nothing of a serious blow. You can hit with both the edge of the palm and the sides of the fist. As an option, approaching the enemy with a substep, shifting slightly to the side, and hitting the side of the fist from the side thumb. The strike can be carried out in different ways, depending on the situation.

Let's continue to consider pain points.

Collarbone strike

A strong blow to the collarbone can break the bone. It is possible to strike the collarbone with the edge of the palm, but an elbow strike, which can be delivered by a person who does not know how to beat with his palms, will be more effective.

A blow to the solar plexus

Already figured it out, but let's look at it a little. Such a blow leads to difficult breathing, almost not allowing breathing. The blow is applied with a fist to the area of ​​​​the solar plexus - the angle of branching of the lower ribs. The person bends down or kneels, which indicates his defeat.

A blow to the armpit

A blow to the armpit causes severe pain, since the nerve is close to the surface. You can hit this area in different ways. When counterattacking, you can strike with your fist, or, when the opponent is on the ground, kick in the armpit.

Stab in the stomach

A blow to the stomach will deprive the opponent of strength, and a strong blow can cause internal bleeding. The impact efficiency will depend on physical training of a person, because it is not in vain that we are given the rectus and oblique muscles of the abdomen.

Kick in the groin

One of the most effective strikes- a blow to the crotch. Pain shock is guaranteed. The blow can be carried out both with the shin and with the knee. It is also possible to strike with the elbow, forearm and edge of the palm. The enemy immediately leaves their formation, and you become the winner.

Kidney kick

Above the kidneys, there is a nerve that leaves the spine and is located close to the top, which leads to pain. And in itself, a blow to the kidneys is quite painful.

False ribs hit

Causes severe pain, up to fractures and so on. Beat with a fist, elbow, knee, foot in shoes.

Blow to the spine

Hitting the spine will not work just like that - for this you need the appropriate conditions. When an opponent is leaning over after a strike, or when he is trying to grab your legs. In this case, there will be a great opportunity for an elbow strike to spinal column. In turn, a blow to the upper spine can paralyze upper limbs, and in the lower - the lower limbs.

Kick in the knee

A blow from the side of the knee or to the patella is applied with a heavy boot. The enemy is then not capable of full-fledged movements, as tissues are damaged.

Ankle strike

The blow is delivered in heavy shoes on outside ankles. You need to hit with the edge of the boot at an angle of about 60 degrees. A blow can cause a fracture.

Foot strike

Applied a strong beat on top of the foot, which can lead to bone fracture.

pain point behind the ear

Behind the ear, near the junction, at the level of the lobe, there is a painful point that can be used when grabbing.

Nostril grip

Such a grip is quite painful, which can help out in certain situations. You just need to stick two fingers into the opponent's nostrils, and pull up.

Lower lip grip

Also sensitive grip. The index finger and thumb create a crease on the lower lip, and squeeze as much as possible.

Here, probably, are all the pain points that I wanted to talk about, but not all of the existing ones.

Conclusion

Knowledge of the theory does not mean that either capture will be successfully applied in practice. It takes many hours of practice to incorporate certain punches and holds into practice.

This article is for informational purposes only!

The administration does not bear any responsibility for the use of the material!

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…

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.

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.

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.

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". A side impact directed there leads to the defeat of the cervical spine, and the enemy falls. That is why during the fight, participants often lower their chins, trying to cover a weak spot.

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 directed upwards, is very painful, as it "enters" the internal organs - the heart, liver, lungs. The consequences can be very serious.

Heart region

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.

It is in the abdomen that most of our internal organs. No wonder the "stomach" 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 to the upper abdomen. A blow to the lower part introduces a state of shock, and if it is strong enough, it can lead to serious internal damage.

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.

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. The impact can break the cup or impair mobility knee joint, 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. Similarly, it is a myth that a person can be killed with a single light poke using a special "death touch" technique. 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.

Any hit deals damage. Of course, if a flash of pain and future bruising can be considered damage. But in order to stop the enemy, to neutralize, to deprive him of the ability to continue the fight, this is absolutely not enough. The pain will only cause anger in the enemy, he will have a “second wind” and the desire to deal with you will increase. So strikes must be carried out so that the enemy loses consciousness or fell and writhed in real pain. Do not pity the enemy - he will not pity you.

A winning situation is one in which you strike first and strike so that the opponent has no desire (and opportunity) to continue the fight. Rural “trimming” with methodical eye-rolling to each other and cinematic crushing of the kidneys and abdominals do not give such an effect. It is clear why people hit each other in the face - it is scary, unpleasant, traces remain. It's pretty easy to hit and just as easy to defend. Approximately the same goal, probably, the hotheads of the distant past were cut with sabers. It is also understandable why in the cinema they inflict blows on those parts of the body that are well protected by “meat” and bones - and it is safer to work on the set, and children who have seen enough action movies and began to repeat the movements of their favorite characters, if they fill each other with bruises, then not so soon.

We have other tasks, right? The most important parts of the human body for us are those, after hitting which the enemy will immediately fail. Those places, the first blow to which will be the last.

With a weapon, this is easy to do: wherever you make a hole with a knife in the enemy, blood will flow from everywhere. It is much more difficult to harm a thug with bare hands - after all, he is not afraid of just a broken nose or a black eye, this is part of the entertainment for him.

You need to hit on the "pain points", the most vulnerable places of the human body - where "God's creation" is most fragile, where there are large nerve nodes, joints, vital important organs(Fig. 30). Firstly, hitting these points is easier than hitting meat or bone, in the sense that it is easier to hit them so that the enemy fully feels it. Secondly, blows to pain points have much more consequences than all other techniques: not just pain, but painful shock, not just darkening in the eyes, but loss of orientation, fainting. I'm not talking about the greater trauma of the "correct" strikes. No, we do not set ourselves the task of sending the attacker to a hospital bed (although it would be for him useful lesson and, perhaps, he would not have ventured to swagger at the expense of random passers-by in the future). But by the end of the fight, the enemy must be incapacitated so that he can not pursue you, catching his breath and coming to his senses.

You can read manuals for a long time oriental masters by the location of pain points, but there will be no real benefit from this. striker in street fight, as a rule, is protected by thick clothing, so pointing fingers at it in the manner of a Chinese monk is simply pointless. I'm not talking about the fact that a blow with straightened fingers needs to be trained for a long time with desperate persistence, otherwise any attempt to carry it out will end in broken phalanges. And it is almost impossible to hit small points with a fist when all the participants in the brawl are constantly moving. So the list of main pain points in this book is built on the experience of street fighters, a kind of "folk art". Everything that you read, you need to organize in your head and work out. If you have never grabbed an enemy by the genitals, then you will, no matter how ridiculous it sounds, be embarrassed to do it in battle. You need to train in order to gain confidence in movements and not lose combat effectiveness due to artificial restrictions.

At the same time, keep in mind that a certain percentage of opponents are familiar with this "folk wisdom" and will also try to target on "Achilles' heels" - protect them first of all.

Fig.30. Main vulnerable points human body.

2. Eyes and groin

Each person at the genetic level is afraid of blows to the groin and eyes and protects these organs in the first place. Blows in them are demoralizing, the pain here is the strongest, but at the same time the chances of irreparably cripple the enemy are relatively small (unless you specifically set such a goal).

Fig.31. A punch to the groin.

No matter how you hit the genitals, it always comes out very painful (Fig. 31). Moreover, no special effort is required: a blow can be struck not only with a fist or toe of a shoe, but also with straightened fingers, a knee - it all depends on the distance and situation. But you need not only to beat - at every opportunity to grab and, without any pity, pull, twist, squeeze in a fist. From this, it darkens in the eyes from pain, the hands forget about the blows and twitch down, consciousness may turn off. Of course, with a long "contact" your hand will be busy, so you need to do everything almost instantly. Overcome disgust for the sake of survival - sharply grab the enemy by the balls and pull on yourself, as if you are trying to tear it off (it is unlikely that it will work, but the pain will be simply inhuman).

Any strike trajectory is good - from top to bottom, in a straight line, from bottom to top. A person reflexively protects the genitals to the last, so that by the threat of a blow to them, you can achieve disclosure in another area, and by holding them, you can “move” the enemy who has captured you. On the other hand, a man always reflexively covers his groin with his knee or thigh, so that you can “knock out” the enemy with a blow to the balls only if you first distract his attention with an attack on another level. From the blow, a painful shock is guaranteed and loss of consciousness is very likely.

The same with the eyes. The enemy is very afraid of going blind, so threatening his eyes will surely distract him. And it is very easy to deprive an attacker of sight (temporarily, of course). A short whipping blow with relaxed fingers - and hello. It is also very convenient to hit with a fist: the human eye is located in a cavity, so even if you miss, the blow will still “slide” into the eye. But the fist is too big to reach the eyeball, and it is more difficult to blind with such a blow (Fig. 32).

In close contact, you can press on the eyes with your knuckles or thumbs, for reliability, grabbing the enemy with the free part of your hand by the skull. Just don’t try to hit the eyes with a “fork”, as they do in the movies - you are more likely to injure your fingers than other people's organs of vision.

Fig.32. A blow to the eyeball. Pay attention to the fist in which the middle finger is specifically pushed forward.

A blow to the eyes or to the groin is the best option for the first blow.

The main thing is that after it, the enemy most likely loses his balance, initiative and cannot immediately respond to you. The effectiveness of this advantage is obvious: you can disable one attacker in order to deal with another, buy time, or simply take flight, gaining a head start in this way.

In a very experienced opponent, the groin can be protected by a shell. In this case, attacks on it will be completely ineffective and you need to switch to other pain points. But keep in mind that the shell usually does not cover the pubic bone, and it can also be hit - more on that below.

Eyes in our time can only be protected with goggles. Hitting points directly - risk injuring your hand. However, they can be easily brushed aside. True, a bespectacled opponent is a rare case, except perhaps sunglasses, and the attack takes place in broad daylight.

In this case, you still win some second, because the sun suddenly flashing in front of the eyes that have lost their protection blinds the disgruntled hooligan. If you hit the glasses with improvised means (for which see the special chapter), then you can injure the eye with fragments. Then the enemy will be completely withdrawn from the battle.

3. Throat and solar plexus

The throat is also a very “cool” point, it is almost as easy to hit it, and if you hit it, then you can kill it inadvertently. But if not to kill, then to incapacitate for sure. The Adam's apple is affected by a blow from the bottom up, which causes pain shock and suffocation, which can lead to irreversible damage to the windpipe (Fig. 33). With a serious blow, bleeding from the mouth begins, followed by loss of consciousness and death. A fracture of the thyroid cartilage of the larynx can cause the windpipe to rupture.

Fig.33. A blow to the Adam's apple.

Unfortunately for those who are beaten, and fortunately for the beater, there are no items in the modern wardrobe that can reliably protect the interclavicular fossa and Adam's apple. The tight collar of a leather jacket turned up might provide some protection to the throat, but it won't help with a hard blow. So you need to rely on your agility and active defense.

A good target is also the chin, more precisely, its center is the protruding part. Uppercuts and hooks should target exactly this spot. But punching the chin directly is pointless: the jawbone is very hard, you can even hurt your hand. But with a blow from the side to roll lower jaw easy peasy. An uppercut can act on the nerve endings, which will transmit an impulse to the cerebellum, and the person will lose consciousness due to concussion of the vestibular apparatus. From a blow to the chin, you can also bite your tongue, which is very painful and therefore disorientates the enemy.

Hitting the solar plexus, or, as the people say, “under the stomach” is almost guaranteed to knock the enemy’s breath out and deprive him of the desire and ability to attack you for some time. Here, of course, certain skills are needed. The solar plexus is the junction of the nerve "wires" of the body, located at the subpoint where the ribs converge. That is, where the xiphoid process of the sternum ends. The sun is covered abdominals, so it's not always easy to punch, but no one can keep their muscles tense all the time. (So, it is necessary to relax the abdominal muscles with a deep breath.) You need to hit “under the stomach” a little from the bottom up so that the blow does not hit the sternum. Damage to the solar plexus causes a temporary cessation of breathing, disruption of the heart, a sharp decrease in pressure. Most likely from hard hit the person will bend in half, which will allow him to quickly “finish off”.

On the long distance neither the Adam's apple nor the solar plexus will really be able to “break through”, which is why they are not in the first place among the points that need to be hit. But you need to cover them very carefully, since it is not so difficult. The throat is protected by a slight inclination of the head forward (just do not press your chin to your chest: this way the neck will become enslaved, and it will be difficult to breathe). The diaphragm is covered already because one of your hands protects the body, why don’t you turn to the enemy frontally, and he needs to break through close to you in order to strike properly. Obviously, this should not be allowed.

4. Vulnerabilities of the legs

Leg attacks are the fastest way to knock down an opponent. And if they are also carried out correctly, they will save you from any attempt at prosecution. In addition, they are carried out at the very border of the field of view, so that with due sharpness of movements it is difficult to notice them and it is inconvenient to defend against them. Trousers and jeans aren't that tight compared to most jackets, and only the rare oddball wears the extra protective gear from the sporting goods store.

It is very convenient to hit the phalanges of the toes from above, even with a heel, even with the whole foot. It is especially unpleasant, of course, to receive such a blow with a female hairpin. The effectiveness of the strike depends on what shoes the attacker is wearing. If he is wearing high military boots, it is better not to try - there is most likely a steel insert in the toe or just very tough leather that will not break through. But the sneakers usually have a soft top.

Next to the toes is another "interesting" point - the instep of the foot. This place, where there is practically no muscle cover, is usually not protected by anything even in the most “fancy” shoes and is easily affected by short distance heel or edge of the foot (Fig. 34). The blow can break the small bones of the foot, cause a fracture of the lower end of the tibia. A strike from behind on the supporting leg breaks the Achilles tendon, depriving the opponent of the ability to move the foot.

Fig.34. A blow from above with a hard heel on the foot may well break its bones.

The shin in front is practically not covered with muscles, so that the result of a direct strong blow to it will most likely be either a crack or a fracture. You can cover your shins with football pads, but walking in them is very uncomfortable all the time. It’s not worth hitting the shin with your toe - the blow can slip off. A strong blow with damage to the periosteum can cause loss of consciousness from pain shock. Behind the lower leg is calf muscle, a blow to which is not so effective, but can cause cramps, since this muscle is often tense. In terms of speed, strikes to the shin are the fastest, besides, they are successfully combined with evasions from blows to the head and body. A retaliatory strike from the front to the shin, or a "cut" from the side, performed in the same movement, can "drop" the opponent to the ground.

The knee is a joint, and blows to the joints are both more painful and more traumatic. A blow under the patella from the front or side, with a relatively small amount of effort expended, can make a person lame for life. There are several reasons for this: rupture of ligaments, damage to the meniscus, fragmentation of the articular bag. A blow to a straight leg can cause a joint fracture or severe dislocation. All these injuries do not allow the fight to continue, and even minor ones greatly affect combat effectiveness, since the knee is involved in jerking steps, launching a blow when twisting the body and allowing you to control the center of gravity. If all this becomes impossible for you, because it causes a sharp pain in a newly pierced knee, you have lost.

From any blows to the legs, the first remedy is maneuver. If you're constantly moving, changing directions, it's much harder to hit you. Of course, kicks require a slightly greater distance than punches. So try not to get hit.

5. Vulnerabilities on the case

Ilium, or, in a simple way, pubis. But not only he, but the entire lower abdomen. There are much fewer muscles here, but there are a lot of important vessels. Moreover, the target is located at such a level that it is convenient to hit it with both the foot and the fist. Possible damage - rupture Bladder, fracture of the pubic bone, dangerous internal bleeding.

A heart. It takes several great power impact, because it is covered with ribs (Fig. 35). It should be borne in mind that with a correct and strong blow under the left nipple, the heart can stop, which will lead to death. But since the point is not the most convenient for an attack, you should not count on hits "in the heart". But you don’t need to open up once again - you can get in the chest so that the ribs break.

Fig.35. Elbow strike to the heart.

The interclavicular fossa is an unprotected point, which, however, you cannot hit with a fist, it is too small. It is more profitable to beat with straightened tightly clenched fingers here. The blow injures the trachea, stops breathing, and can cause throat bleeding. The most terrible blows are applied to the clavicular cavity with improvised objects - from a fountain pen to a nail. But here it is already fraught with a fatal outcome, and not just incapacitating the enemy - depending on how deep the “handy object” is planted.

The liver and spleen are both vital and very vulnerable organs. Located under the lower ribs: the liver on the right, the spleen on the left. You can beat as you like, trying to break the ribs at the same time as damaging the internal organs. From a strong blow, a liver rupture can occur, leading to death. But even not such a strong blow is very painful and can cause loss of consciousness.

Collarbone. Breaking the clavicle bone is very simple, just hit it sharply from top to bottom with your fist or the edge of your palm. But you can do this with the base of the palm, and with the elbow. If the enemy does not collapse from pain, then at least you will “cut out” his arm.

b. Vulnerabilities on the head and neck

The neck is generally vulnerable. In addition to the throat, which has already been discussed, you can hit the side of the neck - and not only beat, but also (if possible) squeeze it. From a blow with a fist, elbow, palm edge on the carotid artery (or jugular vein, and you don’t need to especially aim, because it’s hard to miss), the attacker has difficulty breathing, dizziness begins, and coordination of movements is disturbed. Choking techniques - although they are rarely given the opportunity - can "turn off" the enemy without much harm to him. From a strong blow to the side of the neck, a person can lose consciousness, but such attacks do not pose a danger to life (Fig. 36).

On the face, the most “successful” zone for attack is the nose and the underside. The nasolabial fold, that is, the place where men wear mustaches, is very sensitive. Moreover, here you can not only beat, but also grab it with your fingers and twist it - believe me, it's just unimaginably painful. In the same way, you can grab the lower lip in close combat: with your fingers on both sides, as it were, pinch and twist or pull towards you. You can tear off inadvertently, but nothing, and so they live. Just be careful with your teeth - do not tear the skin on the knuckles on impact and do not let the enemy bite your hand.

Blows to the base of the nose are not only painful, but also disorienting. In addition to making the nose bleed and making breathing difficult, it is likely that the opponent will reflexively throw back his head and open his throat for a blow. The nose is that rare point where you need to hit with a non-fist. Here, a blow with the base of the palm is much more suitable (Fig. 37). And don't be afraid to break your opponent's nose - this is not a terrible injury, besides, hooligans usually have it broken-broken anyway. For the same purpose and with approximately the same results, you can hit from top to bottom on the bridge of your nose. It's harder to hurt your nose, but it's easier to hit.

Side punches can target not only the jaw, but also the temple. Blows to the temple are very dangerous, the easiest way to get a concussion, to lose consciousness - the skull bone here is quite thin, and behind it there are many important vessels. But you have to be Chuck Norris to kill a man with a fist, so don't hold back too much.

Well, a separate issue - the ears. Not everyone is aware that our ears are responsible not only for hearing, but also for the vestibular apparatus. Of course, the "vestibular" is located deep in the inner ear, but hitting it is not difficult. A simple clap on the ears with the palms, if done sharply and strongly, will cause the bully to experience pain shock, dizziness, and nausea (Fig. 38). It is highly likely that the victim will fall and not be able to get up immediately. The rupture of the eardrums (and they can suffer not only from cotton, but also from a fist, elbow) disorientates the enemy, forces him to be distracted.

One way or another, you need to take care of your head. Everything grows together, heals - well, yes, it hurts from the blows, but not scary. And you miss one or two good straight lines to the head - and that's it, you have already been led and there is no time for a fight, just to stand on your feet. So if there is an opportunity to cover your head in one way or another, cover it and, unless absolutely necessary, do not expose it to a blow.

7. Backstab

The opportunity for such strikes is a real "happy accident", but it falls out very rarely, for example, if in a mass brawl the enemy accidentally leaves you behind him or you have to inflict neutralizing blows on an already defeated enemy. At any opportunity, it is possible and necessary to hit in the back - you are not on jousting tournament, you have one task - to be saved at any cost.

The most traumatic “zone” of the back is the spine, and its most open part for impact is the back of the neck with protruding vertebrae. Do not even hope to displace or destroy a vertebra with your bare hands, but keep in mind that missing a blow to the spine, for example, with a stick, is no less dangerous than to the head. You need to hit the spine as hard as possible - with elbows, knees, head - with such striking surfaces that themselves can suffer minimally. However, this is not the primary goal.

You need to start attacking the back from the kidneys. Where they are located, all approximately represent. In the area of ​​the kidneys, a large nerve runs along the back, so that all blows to these organs are very painful. In addition, there is a high probability of internal bleeding - not the worst thing that can happen, but it is impossible to continue the fight with such an injury (Fig. 39, c).

Further, strong pain sensations are caused by blows to the hollow between the shoulder blades and the lower back (Fig. 39, b). The point is not only that the spine passes here, but also that by hitting the corresponding muscles, you limit the mobility and reduce the opponent's combat effectiveness. You can hit here, as well as on the kidneys, as you like and with anything, if only it is stronger - rather “easily accessible” places with nerve endings close to the surface.

On the back of the head it is necessary to beat in the place where the neck connects to the head. From any blow here, control over the situation is lost, it starts to double in the eyes, the head is spinning. Moreover, this point is open not only when entering from the back. Being on the side of the enemy, you can get there with your elbow or forearm (Fig. 39, but).

Instead of an intro.
Most of the people I've told about various techniques shock, and in particular about the vibrational shock, ironically grinned and refused to believe me. It is explained simply. Firstly, they "didn't fight like that in the area." This is an argument in itself. Secondly, their personal coach Uncle Vasya didn’t talk about anything like that, and how could this be? Well then. Deathtouch will be even harder to believe.

To begin with, an easy digression into Tibetan medicine.
Human body- an extremely dynamic system. The filling of the organs with blood is unstable. The blood pressure in each organ has a certain cyclicity and changes throughout the day. I would compare the human body with a huge water clock. Tibetan medicine (and with it Indian and Chinese, and even Avicenna) claim that blood fills the organs healthy person in a certain order, passing through 12 main organs and staying in each for no more than two hours. It is connected with functional features every organ. For example, in a healthy (I emphasize - healthy) body, a rush of blood to the stomach is observed from 9 to 11 in the morning. At this time, the stomach is most functionally active and can even digest nails. If desired, of course. It is on this fact that the saying "Eat breakfast - eat it yourself, lunch - share with a friend, dinner - give to the enemy" is based. All those acupunctures and accupressures that have become so popular in our time are based on blood circulation. Or rather, not only on them, but I will not delve into these jungles now. The Chinese swindlers, of course, call this blood circulation the circulation of "qi" energy, but I think that this is done mainly based on naive Europeans who are ready to pay big and heavy coins for any oriental mysticism. So, there are several hundred points on the human body, by acting on which you can slightly redirect the blood flow in the right direction and thus treat the diseased organism. Even European medicine knows this, everyone knows it. But what everyone does not know is that many of those points that are treated can be killed with no less success. It's just a matter of the time of exposure, the force of pressing and the characteristics of a particular organism. That is, by pressing with a certain force on a certain point located on the pulmonary meridian at the hour of maximum activity of the pulmonary meridian, i.e. from 5 to 7 in the morning, after a while, pulmonary edema can be caused in a person, especially in a person in a certain emotional state. A person will die within a few hours being completely healthy before that.

How it works?
Very simple. Imagine, say, a system of 10 light bulbs. They are all connected to wires and current flows through them. If desired, we can redirect the current in such a way that one of the bulbs burns a little brighter, and then one day it will burn out. The same is true with human organs. A blockage in one vessel can cause another vessel to work a little harder and eventually burst, causing internal bleeding, which in turn will affect the functionality of some other organ or vessel. And so, slowly, slowly, the system breaks down, slides down like an avalanche, until it collapses completely.
You only need to know the time of exposure, the strength of the impact and the point of impact. Some dots need to be hit, some dots can just be easily tapped. In some you need to stick a needle or spike. And the effect is different for everyone. There is a point leading to cerebral edema after three months, there is a point leading to insanity after 7 years, there is a point from which a person will die in three days. The most interesting thing in all this is that it is precisely due to the fact that the body works in accordance with its internal biological clock and cycles that the destructive effect of the impact on the point occurs exactly at the appointed time. That is, if a point kills in three days, then exactly in three days, minute by minute, a person will die. No witnesses. No evidence. An autopsy will only reveal the natural causes of death. Like in the case of Bruce Lee. With an absolutely healthy body - headache and hurricane cerebral edema two hours later. The cause of death was never found and therefore everything was attributed to a very rare and strange reaction of the body to headache pills.

The art of hitting such points is called the Art of Death Touch. Pieces of this art are scattered across different systems and schools of martial arts and are called differently. The Chinese have their Dim Mak with 21 points, the Japanese have their Ninjutsu with 9 points. It is clear that if acupuncture points are even more or less known in the world, then the death touch points, and most importantly, the methods of influence and the time of influence on them are kept secret by those who master this art. Daring touch is not by and large martial art, because in a fight its use is not justified. Of course, a great specialist can, in the heat of a fight, at speed, find the right point and hit there with the right force and at the right time, but usually great specialists of this level, as a rule, do not fight on the streets. Indeed, why brandish a stone ax if you have an atomic bomb in your pocket? The art of death touch has always been the art of spies and assassins, not the art of street fighters. The master of deathtouch, upon meeting with a street hooligan, could simply paralyze him or instantly disable him, causing him to lose consciousness. For example, there is a point in the ankle area, upon impact, a person’s pressure instantly drops. So sharp and strong that it just turns off. At the same second. A bully trying to kick such a master would simply fall like a bag of bones before he could put his foot down.

So, there are 145 points in total. 49 of them are reversible points, that is, points, even after exposure to which, the destructive process in the body can still be reversed. 96 points are irreversible.

Naturally, the question immediately arises, how can you hit a moving target with your finger, and even with the necessary pressing force at a specific point on the enemy’s body? It's all about training. People accessing deathtouch are usually animated by martial arts from childhood. Their punching technique is filigree, they almost never miss and can control their punch with millimeter precision. All points and ways to defeat them are memorized. Punches are practiced on mannequins or diagrams drawn on the wall until the person can hit any point with their eyes closed and on great speed. By and large, this is a little-accessible and little-needed art. In ancient times, such people were in the service of kings, khans, shahs and shoguns and carried out all sorts of special assignments of a delicate nature. Today to kill right person much easier with a pistol or sniper rifle than looking for some grandfather in the back streets of Kashgar who will agree to give your enemy a cerebral edema for ten bags of rice, specially designed for his enemy's birthday.

And in conclusion, I will say that I have long heard about the art of death touch, and never believed in it, I considered it a fairy tale designed for naive fools. Until I saw it with my own eyes.
