When you know your weaknesses, they can turn into strengths if you can use this knowledge to your advantage.
Before we start this article, we would like to say that we are not trying to make anyone feel bad about their shortcomings. We just want to help every person blossom and grow into their best version, and for this you need to know about your weaknesses and strengths.
Well, now, we want to talk about the main weakness of each zodiac sign, so that you realize them and learn how to cope with them. When you know your weaknesses, they can turn into strengths if you can use that knowledge to your advantage.
ARIES 03.21-19.04
Aries do not like it when someone other than themselves is in command, because they like to take the reins at any opportunity. While Aries are natural born leaders, they can sometimes get carried away and will not listen to the opinions of others.
Aries also tend to make decisions without thinking them through completely and can appear overly aggressive and easily annoyed.
Taurus 20.04-20.05
Taurus is a very stable and reliable sign, however, he can rest on his own and not want to change or grow when necessary. They love to do what they do best and do not try anything new in life for fear of failure.
They have a lot of pride, which is partly why they like to stay in their comfort zone. They find something that works well for them, make it a habit, and may not see other options or opportunities that come along the way.
Taurus can really be stubborn like bulls, so if you want to convince them of something, you need to train maximum patience.
GEMINI 21.05-20.06
Gemini, you both discourage us and delight us. Indeed, it seems like you have a split personality and you can never make a final decision.
Although it makes you interesting and intriguing personalities. You always have something to talk about, although sometimes it seems that you are not listening. You are constantly changing your mind, and therefore it is difficult to keep up with you. You are constantly changing, like a chameleon, but you stand out, not merge.
You are a mystery to us, and perhaps to yourself. Gemini often do not feel "fulfilled" in life, perhaps because they cannot even decide what they want to actually achieve.
CANCER 21.06 -22.07
Cancers have a beautiful, sensitive, gentle soul, but their emotions often take over them so much that they completely paralyze them. Cancers have a lot of self-esteem problems and often look to others for approval or recognition. Cancers need to be cherished and nourished, and this can be too much for partners, close friends and family.
Cancers can give a lot of love, but sometimes they put the needs of others over their own. Cancers can also change moods in the blink of an eye and are very prone to anxiety and depression. They also tend to be pessimistic and idealistic at the same time.
They don't have a lot of faith in the world because it doesn't look like the imaginary one they created in their heads. Cancers are also prone to laziness and procrastination.
LEO 23.07-22.08
As a fire sign, Leo is constantly on the move. Leos love to be the center of attention, but sometimes they forget that others need to be given glory time. Leos have a lot of pride, and this arrogance can annoy people.
Leos can also get stuck in their opinions, which can make them appear inflexible and unyielding. They do not really like to listen to the opinions of others, because they know everything better than anyone. The egocentric nature of Leos also makes long-term relationships with those around them burdensome.
VIRGO 23.08-22.09
Virgos have an overly analytical mind, which can be both strong and weak. They love to analyze and determine the causes of everything, but sucking on the same problem in search of a solution makes them prone to worry and anxiety.
They are also prone to obsessive-compulsive states because they need things to happen in a certain way and lose their balance when something goes wrong.
Virgos also have a very old soul, which is why they work too much and rest too little. They also criticize themselves and others very harshly, which makes it difficult to build bonds with others.
LIBRA 23.09-22.10
Libra is, by nature, a calm and peaceful sign, but they can just snap at you if you do something they don't like. Although, instead of telling you about the problem in person, they will not talk to you or will behave passively-aggressively, because they hate conflicts.
But people don't always enjoy settling conflicts, which means that if Libra doesn't learn to face problems rather than avoid them, they may lose their friendship.
Libra can also hold a grudge against someone, which only exacerbates their problem of avoiding conflict whenever possible. They may focus too much on the bad in their life, instead of directing their energy towards the good.
SCORPIO 23.10-21.11
Scorpio can be very loving and spontaneous, but at the same time, their jealousy and distrustful nature can ruin romantic relationships and friendships. And never do anything bad to them, because they will draw up a plan of revenge in order to teach you a lesson and try to "get even".
Scorpios are often self-contained due to trust issues, and it makes it difficult for them to bond with others. They have very deep emotions, but they don't show them much because they don't want to feel vulnerable.
Sagittarius 11.22-21.12
Sagittarius are born explorers. They easily get bored, so it is difficult for them to complete a project. They hate someone's influence and when they are told what to do.
This can easily drive them into trouble if they don't find a middle ground. Sagittarians also have no filters and can be rude or tactless depending on who they are with.
Sagittarians are also very intolerant; and they will easily leave the project if it doesn't go the way they want. They need a lot of freedom and space to wander, which makes them sometimes appear inhospitable and windy.
CAPRICORN 22.12-19.01
Capricorns can work to death and forget how to take care of themselves and just relax sometimes. They are obsessed with status and money, because these two things represent the stability and success in life that they so achieve in life.
Capricorns can boast a lot about their work or accomplishments, which can alienate people from them. It is difficult for them to open up to others, and they think of themselves higher than other people. But they have hidden insecurities and are actually afraid of the opinions and thoughts of others.
Therefore, they have a bad habit of gossiping about other people and only discussing facts, not opinions. They are also pessimistic and expect the worst-case scenario in any situation.
AQUARIUS 01.20-18.02
Aquarius is another difficult sign to understand. On the one hand, they are good friends due to their communication skills and versatile interests. But they find it difficult to express emotions, which can make it difficult to keep friends or partners.
They deeply despise anything that is too boring or familiar and they have an incredible thirst for adventure and travel. This makes it difficult for them to stay in one place and focus on responsibilities and activities that are just part of life in today's world.
Aquarians can appear unfriendly because they remain in their own small world rather than joining what is happening around them.
FISH 19.02-20.03
Last but not least are Pisces. Emotional, sensitive, fastidious water sign who loves creative expression and always strives to help others. But Pisces, like Cancers, can allow their strong emotions to take over.
Pisces can also go out of their way to help someone, but they forget to take care of themselves and pay attention to themselves. They also find it difficult to face reality, and they want to escape from it in any way possible.
If they cannot find a creative outlet, this urge to run can lead them onto a dark path if they are not careful. Their violent emotions make them prone to anxiety and depression.
Published: 02/18 01:08 AMThe temple is one of the weak points of the skull. Deep under the temple is the artery of the cerebral membrane. The average thickness of the skull is 5 millimeters, in the thickest place its thickness is 1 centimeter, in the temple area the thickness of the skull is only 1-2 millimeters. A blow to this area can result in 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 occiput 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. It's pretty weakness skull. A light blow to this point can cause a concussion. A severe blow can damage the brain, cause hemorrhage and ultimately death.
A blow 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 is felt as a slightly elongated structure. This cavity is the weak point of the head. With a weak blow to this point, concussion and loss of consciousness occurs. If the blow is strong, it can lead to hemorrhage and death.
Blow on the browbone.
These points are located above the eyebrows. Blood vessels and nerves pass through these areas. Hit medium strength may 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", as a side blow directed at it hits 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.
A blow to the nasal bone.
This point is located on the nasal bone, between the eyebrows. The nasal bone is thick at the top and becomes thinner downward, with a small vein in the center leading to the nasal cavity. A blow to this area can easily damage the nasal bone and lead to severe bleeding and breathing difficulties. In addition, a blow to the nose is very painful and impairs vision.
Blow to the cheek. (Above the lateral part of the jaw)
This point is relatively weak. A blow to it leads to a fracture of the jaw and damage to the surrounding blood vessels and nerves. If the opponent's mouth is open and the blow is struck at a downward angle, the jaw falls out of the joint, causing severe pain.
Blow or slap on the ears.
Many blood vessels and nerves pass near the ears. A blow to the ears damages the outer ear and eardrum.
The most vulnerable points of the neck.
Chopping blow to the back of the neck.
This point is located near the third vertebra of the neck. A weak blow to it causes the vertebrae to dislocate, which as a result put pressure on the spinal cord. A moderate blow will knock out the opponent and can lead to serious complications. A violent blow that cuts off the nerves of the spine results in immediate death.
Chopping blow to the throat. (Thyroid cartilage)
The thyroid cartilage (in the common people, Adam's apple) is surrounded by numerous blood vessels and nerves, 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 hitting, the effect will be much greater.
The most vulnerable points of the torso.
Blow to the sternum. (Solar plexus)
The sternum is centered on 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, difficulty breathing. The enemy loses the ability to defend. A severe blow can lead to stomach bleeding, heart failure, liver rupture, internal bleeding, unconsciousness 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 connective cartilage. On the left is the region of the heart, on the right is the liver. Ribs 5 through 8 are the most curved and the easiest to break, especially where the bones connect to the cartilage. A hard blow to this area can lead to heart attack, liver damage, internal bleeding, and possibly death.
Impact on movable ribs.
Movable ribs are at the bottom 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 fracture inward. This, in turn, can lead to their penetration into the liver or spleen, which is deadly.
Impact 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-like sensation and a temporary loss of movement in the hand. Strong pressure can damage the nerves and blood vessels and make it difficult to move the arm.
Kicking or punching 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.
Kicking or punching to the crotch
Many nerves pass through this point, and above are the genitals and the bladder. A light blow to this area will cause very severe pain. A violent blow can rupture the bladder and cause shock.
A blow with a leg or hand on 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 very close to the back wall of the abdominal cavity. From an anatomical point of view, the kidneys are not protected by ribs and are very vulnerable. on impact, severe pain occurs, kidney rupture is possible, profuse bleeding.
A blow to the back, opposite the heart.
A blow to this point can cause shock, since 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 effect will be damage to the tissues under the fibula and tibia.
A blow to the outside of the knee.
This effect will cause the joint to move in an unnatural direction, bending inward, and cause damage to the ligaments, as well as a rupture between the bones of the joint. In addition, a hard blow can damage the main peroneal nerve, causing severe pain.
Blow to the inside of the knee.
This effect will cause the leg to bend outward, damaging the ligaments and tendons around the patella. The best angle to strike is a sharp downward angle towards the back.
7. Vulnerable areas body
I love the brave; but it is not enough to be a swordsman, -
you also need to know who to cut!
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is common knowledge that a strong blow with an arm or leg causes severe pain and extensive bruising in any part of the body. However, in a fierce fight (especially with multiple opponents), square strikes are an unacceptable luxury. Oznobishin stated the following about this: “The strategy of a serious battle does not pursue the task of simply“ hurting ”the enemy: if the latter is dangerous, then the effect of pain will only cause despair and anger, which will increase his strength tenfold. Strategy requires bringing the enemy into a state of inability to resist. " *
Therefore, the targets for your strikes should be not only which ones, but the most vulnerabilities human body. These are nerve nodes, large blood vessels, fragile bones, joints. Their defeat - on the one hand - does not require great strength, on the other - inevitably entails significant consequences. These can be: painful shock; semi-faint (what is called "groggy" in boxing); loss of consciousness; mechanical injury (dislocation, fracture, bleeding, rupture of muscles or ligaments); death. As a result, the enemy loses the ability to continue fighting for a period of time from several seconds to infinity.
Before continuing to consider this issue, I would like to make two clarifications. First, I'm talking here about blows with limbs, not weapons. Indeed, for damage with stabbing, cutting, chopping objects, our body is vulnerable anywhere from the top of the head to the heels. Secondly, for now I am only talking about blows and do not touch upon such methods of influence as bites, pinches, twisting, levers.
There is no consensus among experts about the total number of vulnerabilities on the human body. For example, Chinese masters identify about 200 nerve points that are highly sensitive to poking and pressing with your fingers. The specificity of this technique is that the impact on these points requires minimal effort, but gives the maximum results: a person experiences severe pain, or his arms and legs seem to be paralyzed, or he instantly loses consciousness.
It would seem, what more could you want ?! Learn the location of two or three dozen of these points, learn to hit them with the fingers of both hands, and that's it! You will become a very dangerous subject. However, everything is not so simple. First, most of the nerve points vulnerable to finger injury are almost always covered by clothing. Punching a jacket, raincoat or coat, knitted sweater, tight jeans with your finger only by those who have undergone special training. Secondly, to defeat even a naked body, you also need to have well-hardened ("stuffed") fingers, otherwise their dislocation or fracture is guaranteed. Thirdly, during a street brawl, its participants usually cannot instantly determine the exact location of these points, since the position of the torso and limbs of each of the fighters is constantly changing, and their attention is scattered.
Where is the exit? It is to attack not microscopic nerve points, but rather large areas of the body and do it with a more massive weapon than fingers. As for such zones, hitting any point throughout their area causes devastating consequences. By "massive" weapons I mean the base and edge of the palm, elbow, knee, foot, head, fist, and fingers, but tied together like a beak or knife.
By bringing together tables, lists and anatomical diagrams from the manuals on hand-to-hand combat for special forces units, I identified 30 "targets" that are indicated more often than others, and the destructive effect on which, in fact, does not require special strength: the one that is inherent in a teenager is enough 14-15 years old.
These targets are arranged in an order based on their availability. The most vulnerable part the body, of course, is the head, but it is more difficult to get to it than to the legs or groin, especially if there are several opponents and they are taller (and I take this situation as a basis). Therefore, the sequence of choosing targets for attack is as follows: legs from feet to knees, center line of the body in front, body on the sides, head, center line of body behind, arms.
If you are armed, your hands are the number one target. The explanation is simple. Whatever the aggressor tries to do to you, he does it with his hands - he grabs them, pushes, hits, strangles, brandishes a knife or a stick ... Therefore, crushing his fingers, breaking his forearm, deeply cutting or piercing the back of the palm, you will reliably remove its out of order. However, it is hardly possible to cause any serious damage to the hands of an attacker without weapons, unless you are a master of sports in sambo. For example, we managed to catch the massive forearm of a gorilla-like "hulk" with a grip. Try to break it "with one sharp movement", as the authors of some textbooks recommend: you won't have enough strength ...
So, I will list the affected areas that combine the above 30 targets (together with paired targets there will be more, not 30, but 45):
1) ankle joint - lower leg;
2) the knee joint;
3) perineum - the lower abdomen;
4) solar plexus - cardiac plexus;
5) interclavicular cavity - throat - chin;
6) hypochondrium - ribs;
7) clavicle - the side of the neck;
8) upper lip - base of the nose;
9) the bridge of the nose - eyes;
10) temple - ear;
11) the back of the head - the seventh cervical vertebra;
12) between the shoulder blades - the central part of the spine;
13) lower back - kidneys;
14) elbow - armpit - shoulder;
15) fingers.
As for some other parts of the body, often called "vulnerable", they, in my opinion, do not meet the main requirement - to cause severe pain in case of defeat and disable a person for at least a few seconds.
Let us now consider the consequences that occur as a result of blows with limbs on the targets listed here.
1. ANKLE JOINT ("LIFTING" OF THE FOOT)
It is struck by a "trampling" kick from top to bottom, or by a "football" kick in the horizontal plane from the front or from the side. It is better to have the attacking foot in the shoe. This place is very sensitive for almost all people, because from childhood it is protected by shoes, but there is no muscle cover here (Fig. 25).
Relatively weak blows to the ankle joint cause severe pain and deprive the opponent of the opportunity to actively use the foot. A stronger impact leads to the destruction of the small bones of the foot, causes a crack, or even a fracture of the lower end of the tibia (small or large, depending on which side the blow is struck from). A strong blow from the back at the level of the instep of the foot tears the Achilles tendon if the attacked leg is under load during this time and does not fly forward.
2. SHIN ("BONE")
The two shin bones (small and large) located here are almost not covered by muscles, so the pain from a blow to them pierces the whole body, like an electric discharge. You can attack the shin both with the inside (in a "football" impact) and with the outside (in a side impact) side of the foot, best of all with the stiff edge of your shoe. However, you can hit with the heel (heel) and the sole (Fig. 26). Just do not hit the shin with your toe, as it can slip off and then the blow will not cause significant harm to the opponent.
Relatively weak blows to the shin cause acute pain and huge bruising, damage the periosteum. A strong effect leads to painful shock up to loss of consciousness, a crack or bone fracture.
The direction of the blows to the shin is mainly from the front or from the side. Attacking from behind on the leg, loaded at this moment with body weight, can cause temporary paralysis of the gastrocnemius muscle.
3. KNEE JOINT
It is unambiguously considered by all experts that the knee is the best target for low kicks. It is convenient to hit it from all sides, with any part of the foot, at any angle (top to bottom, bottom to top, horizontally), by any movement - pushing, swinging, trampling (Fig. 27).
Relatively weak blows to the knee cause severe pain and force the opponent to moderate their ardor. A stronger impact leads to rupture of the knee ligaments, fragmentation of cartilage, dislocation or fracture of the bones that form the articular joint. Often a person becomes disabled after this. A moderate blow from the back (in the popliteal fold) is also accompanied by acute pain and partial destruction of the joint.
4. POSITION (GENITAL ORGANS)
This target can be hit with anything — with the toe and instep, heel, knee, fist, rib, and base of the palm, with fingertips pressed together (Figure 28). You can not even beat, but simply grab the genitals with your hand and pull them towards you - to the side. However, this place is protected by men from childhood. We all tend to reflexively cover our crotch with our hand or thigh when we try to attack it. Therefore, an attack here takes place only with the distraction of the enemy's attention, for example, with a lashing blow of the hand in the eyes.
Even a slight impact on the neurovascular bundle located in the genitals causes acute pain and incapacitates for several tens of seconds. Stronger blows entail painful shock up to loss of consciousness and guarantee severe injury with internal bleeding.
5. LOWER ABDOMINAL (LOBKA REGION)
There is no muscle armor in the lower abdomen, and there are numerous neurovascular plexuses inside the abdominal cavity. It is better to hit here with the toe of a shoe, with a knee, with a fist, and with the tips of fingers pressed together (Fig. 29).
A relatively weak blow to the lower abdomen is accompanied by severe pain and fainting. A stronger effect causes painful shock up to loss of consciousness, internal bleeding, pubic bone fracture or rupture Bladder.
6. SOLAR NERVOUS Plexus ("SUN")
It is located directly below the xiphoid process of the sternum. It is convenient to hit it with an elbow, knee, fist, the base of the palm, the second phalanges of the fingers, clenched in the manner of the so-called "devil's paw" (Fig. 30). For "jocks", overgrown with powerful muscles, it is difficult to break through the sun, but even they cannot keep their abs constantly tense. On inhalation, the abdominal muscles relax and this target is opened for defeat.
A relatively weak blow to the solar plexus causes acute pain, temporary respiratory arrest, reflexive inhibition of the heart, a drop in blood pressure and, as a result, fainting. The person bends in half, loses the ability to move for one or two minutes. A strong blow leads to suffocation, loss of consciousness and even death if it was directed from the bottom up.
7. CARDIAC NERVOUS Plexus ("HEART")
This target is located just below the left nipple. Everything that has been said about the "sun" is also true here. I will only add that for strong blow in the region of the heart, it can stop and then death will instantly occur. It is necessary to know about this, since the cardiac nerve plexus is more vulnerable than the solar one (Fig. 31).
8. INTERCLUSIVE CUTTLE ("PIT")
It is located below the Adam's apple (the so-called "Adam's apple"), between the collarbones. There are no muscles here, so even a weak blow injures the trachea, which is accompanied by a strong cough, tears, and a feeling of suffocation. A strong impact causes throat bleeding, respiratory arrest, loss of consciousness and often death, especially if the blow was made by some object: the end of a stick, a ballpoint pen, etc. (fig. 32).
Strikes in the interclavicular cavity are best applied with the "beak" of the fingers gathered together, or with the thumb. In some situations, for example, if you are on the ground under the attacker, the attack of the "pits" between the collarbones may be your only chance of escape.
9.THROAT (KADYK, ADAMOVO APPLE)
This refers to the thyroid cartilage of the larynx protruding from under the skin. They beat him with the edge of the palm, with its base (if the head is thrown back up), with a fist of the "devil's paw" type, and also with a fork formed by those bent in opposite directions thumb and the rest (fig. 33).
A light blow causes severe pain and suffocation. Consciousness, as a rule, remains, but the enemy loses the ability to take action for a period of time from fifteen to twenty seconds to a minute. A stronger effect leads to profuse bleeding from the mouth, painful shock and loss of consciousness, or a fracture of the thyroid cartilage, rupture of the windpipe and death.
10. CHIN (CENTER OF LOWER JAW)
The main methods of hitting this target are as follows: a blow with a fist from the bottom up, directly under the lower jaw ("uppercut"), an elbow blow from the side or bottom, and, finally, a short straight blow with the base of the palm with the direction of the trajectory of movement to the crown (Fig. 34). The last of the three is the best. If you lead it exactly in the center, lightly and relaxed, having gathered only at the last moment, then it affects the cerebellum and knocks down the most powerful "pitching". If you try to punch on the chin with your fist, you can break your arm in the wrist joint.
In scientific terms, when hitting the chin, the vestibular apparatus is shaken and the activity of the cardiovascular system to provide the brain with oxygen is temporarily inhibited. Both, taken together, cause fainting. In addition, sometimes from such a blow, a person strongly bites his tongue with his teeth.
11.RIBS (LIVER AND Spleen)
As you know, a person has 12 pairs of ribs. Of these, 7 pairs are called upper, and 5 - lower, or false. On the right side of the body, behind the lower ribs, is the liver, on the left side is the spleen. Strikes on the lower ribs are applied with anything: knee, feet, elbow, fist, base and edge of the palm, but not with fingers (Fig. 35).
As a result of bruised ribs with relatively weak blows, a person experiences acute pain, he reflexively has an instantaneous release of blood from both the liver and spleen. Both of them incapacitate him for a while. With a stronger blow, two or three ribs can break, which in itself makes it difficult to breathe and move. But it is much more significant that from a strong blow there is a rupture of the liver or spleen. And since both of these organs contain a large amount of blood (they are a kind of "blood depot"), the case may end in death.
12. LEGEND
This is the name of the part of the body below the false ribs. A blow to this area, directed in a straight line from the right or left side into the body, causes intense pain and internal bleeding. This is due to the fact that large blood vessels pass through the areas of the abdominal cavity adjacent to the sides, and there are numerous nerve nodes. If the blow is directed from bottom to top, as if under the ribs, then it injures either the liver (and located under it gall bladder), or the spleen. Such a blow, moreover, easily breaks the tenth rib (Fig. 36).
Of course, in order for the blow in the hypochondrium to penetrate into the body, it is necessary to produce it with a small striking surface - the toe of a shoe, a fist "devil's paw", a beak of fingers pressed together. Better yet, the end of a stick. It is good to beat upwards with a knee, base and edge of the palm, with a fist.
The matter is facilitated by the fact that the muscles of the lateral surfaces of the torso are poorly developed in most of today's urban residents. They don’t mow the grass, sawn wood, don’t dig the ground - where did the strong lateral muscles come from?
13. KEY
Even from a weak blow to the collarbone, a person experiences acute pain, and in order to break it, an effort of only 25 kilograms per square centimeter is required. Such an effort is available to both a teenager and an untrained woman. The direction of the blow is from top to bottom, the weapon of the body is the edge or base of the palm, the lower part of the fist, the head, and sometimes the elbow (Fig. 37). It is important that with a broken collarbone, a person cannot hit hard with the other hand or even with his legs.
With stronger blows, the collarbone does not just break, but is completely destroyed and injures the tops of the lungs, bronchi, and large blood vessels with its fragments.
14. SIDE SURFACE OF THE NECK
This is where the carotid artery, jugular vein and vagus nerve pass. As a result of even a weak blow with an edge or the base of the palm, fist, elbow, a person's blood pressure drops, breathing becomes difficult, and orientation in space is disturbed. But the main thing is that he feels acute pain. With a stronger impact, loss of consciousness occurs (although blows of this kind are not dangerous for life), or, at least, a person falls to the ground (Fig. 38).
15. UPPER LIP ("FILTER" OR NOSOLIP FOLD)
To be precise, this refers to the area of the face between the base of the nose and the upper lip. He is considered one of the most vulnerable places of a person. Here the nasal cartilage grows together with the cranial bone and the nerve node is located (Fig. 39).
Even from a weak blow with the edge of the palm, a "fork", or a fist directed deep into the face, your opponent will feel a sharp pain. If you hit harder, then there will be a painful shock, concussion, loss of consciousness and, possibly, death. It all depends on the force of the blow, its trajectory and the accuracy of the hit. In any case, blood will pour out, not from the nose, but from the upper lip.
16. BASE OF THE NOSE
It is best to strike here with a "fork" between the thumb and the rest of the fingers, the fist "devil's paw" (ie the second phalanges of the bent fingers) or the base of the palm. The nose is a very sensitive organ, so a short jab is enough for any "pump" to throw his head back, and blood starts flowing from his nostrils. A blow to the base of the nose does not require any force, however, it is hardly possible to "knock out" a strong man with it. It should be used as a means to force the opponent to open his throat. He threw his head back and you hit him in the Adam's apple with the same hand or push him in the chest, while doing the footrest at the same time (Fig. 40).
17. CARRIER (CENTER OF BACK OF THE NOSE)
They beat her with the edge and base of the palm, fist, elbow, head. A light blow causes acute pain, a blow of medium strength - painful shock (up to loss of consciousness), profuse bleeding, complete loss of combat capability. A strong blow crushes the nasal bone and the cartilage attached to it into fragments, which can penetrate the brain and cause instant death (Fig. 41).
18. EYE
A blow to the eye is made with one thumb, with the beak of all fingers folded together, and also with the tips of four fingers with whipping blows (Fig. 42). However, there are cases when it was possible to knock out the eye with the base of the palm. Never try to poke both eyes at once with two fingers outstretched, as recommended in some of the instructions. This will break your fingers rather than gouge your opponent's eyes out.
Human eyes are very vulnerable. Virtually no force is required to injure them. However, it is not so easy to get into the eye. More often, an attack in the eye is used as a maneuver that distracts the enemy's attention from the main blow. Well, in those rather rare cases, when your finger actually sticks into the enemy's eye, the latter experiences acute pain and loses orientation in the surrounding space. Simply put, after that he is exclusively concerned with the state of his organ of vision.
The eyes, together with the bridge of the nose, the base of the nose and the nasolabial fold, form the so-called "T-zone" of the lesion. It is the primary target for face-to-face attacks.
19. WHISOK
Blows to the temple are extremely dangerous. A relatively weak blow is accompanied by painful shock, concussion and loss of consciousness; a stronger impact breaks the temporal bone. It, in turn, pierces the adjacent part of the brain and cuts the blood vessels passing there, as a result of which instant death occurs (Fig. 43).
The fact is that the temporal bone of the skull is very thin, and the cerebral artery passes directly under it. The temple is usually hit with a fist (more precisely, with the knuckle of the index finger), the base of the fist, the phalanx of the bent thumb and sometimes with an elbow if the opponent is short.
20. EAR
It is an organ not only of hearing, but also of balance (semicircular canals of the inner ear). A simultaneous blow to the ears is most effective with the palms of both hands bent like cups. As a result, a person feels a painful shock, dizziness, he feels sick, he loses orientation in space. With stronger exposure, the eardrums can burst, and internal brain hemorrhage with a fatal outcome is also possible (Fig. 44).
They also beat in the ear with the edge of the palm, the knuckles of the fist, its base, and the elbow. It is not difficult to pierce the eardrum with the thumb, forcibly driving it into the opening of the auditory concha, which entails wild pain.
21. BUTTON (SKULL BASE)
This is where the neck meets the skull. A blow with the edge of the palm, its base, fist, elbow in this place is accompanied by acute pain, loss of orientation, semi-fainting - if it is relatively weak. A more powerful blow displaces the cervical vertebrae, infringes or breaks the spinal cord, as a result of which a person ends up in intensive care, or even in a cemetery (Fig. 45). In either case, the enemy is instantly incapacitated for a long time. Only now it is good to kiss the back of the enemy's head, especially if this enemy is tall and strong in build, it is very, very difficult.
22. NECK BACK
As you know, the human spine consists of 7 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar vertebrae, as well as the sacrum and coccyx formed by fused vertebrae. The nerve trunk runs inside the vertebrae spinal cord... Spinal injuries associated with displacement or fracture of the vertebrae are accompanied by severe injuries (partial or complete ruptures) of the spinal cord. Breaking it up cervical completely paralyzes a person. Thoracic tears paralyze the abdominal and intercostal muscles, making breathing extremely difficult, and lumbar- paralysis lower limbs(fig. 46).
Any blows to the spine with the edge and base of the palm, fist, and even more so powerful weapon like the head, elbow, knee, foot are extremely painful and very dangerous. With a weak blow, a person feels acute pain, which for a short time deprives him of the ability to continue fighting. A strong blow knocks him to the ground and completely incapacitates, death is also possible.
23, 24, 25. LOCK BETWEEN SHOVELS, LUMBAR AND CENTER BACK
The three main targets on the back are: the cleft between the shoulder blades, the center of the back, and the loin (Figs. 47, 48, 49). As mentioned above, blows to any part of the spine are very painful and dangerous. Sometimes the tailbone is also indicated as a vulnerable spot in the lower back, but any trauma doctor will tell you that this is far from the case. The blow to the tailbone should be strong and directed exclusively from the bottom up so that the person feels acute pain. But even if you manage to break him, this will not prevent the enemy from fighting, he will suffer from pain later.
26. KIDNEY
Kidney - large internal organ, its length in an adult is 10-13 cm, and its width is 5-6 cm, and the left kidney is longer and thicker than the right one. The kidney is a very sensitive organ, in addition, in the place where it is located, a large nerve runs under the very skin of the back - a branch from the spinal cord. Therefore, even a light blow to the kidney area is accompanied by acute pain. And the stronger it is, the higher the likelihood of rupture of the kidney with bleeding, painful shock and death.
Impacts to the kidney area can be performed with both hands and feet, elbows, knees and head. But, I repeat again, the stronger the blow, the more dangerous it is for health and life (Fig. 50).
27. ELBOW
Every adult has hit his elbow on some hard object more than once, and knows how painful it is. The whole body seems to be pierced by an electric discharge. But pain in this case is not the main evil. Worse, the elbow joint is rather weak, it is not difficult to dislocate or break it.
A blow to the elbow with feet, knee, fist, base of the palm from below causes acute pain, partial or complete rupture of ligaments, dislocation, fracture (Fig. 51). The stronger the blow, the harder you hold the opponent's hand at the same time, the more serious the consequences it entails. It is clear that with a broken elbow, the enemy is no longer a fighter. One hand is completely disabled, the other is forced to support the broken one, otherwise the slightest movement is given in the broken joint by acute pain.
28. UNDERMPUS (UNDERMPUS)
Here is the brachial plexus, the median and ulnar nerves, subclavian artery and vein, there are numerous lymph nodes and vessels (Fig. 52). A blow with a fist, beak of fingers gathered together, with one thumb, with the toe of a shoe in a given place, with a relatively weak impact, causes acute pain, making it impossible to attack. A strong blow is accompanied by partial or complete destruction of the bag of the shoulder joint, painful shock, and sometimes leads to death.
29. SHOULDER JOINT
Shallow glenoid cavity, big sizes heads humerus and the weakness of the ligaments of the articular bag make the shoulder joint the place where most often, in comparison with all other joints, dislocations occur (during falls, jolts, bruises, etc.). Dislocation of the shoulder is often accompanied by a fracture of the upper end of the humerus. Thus, the anatomical features of this joint make it one of the most vulnerable places in the human body.
A relatively weak, but sharp blow to the shoulder from the front or back leads to a dislocation quite easily. A blow to the shoulder from above causes acute pain, muscle numbness, ligament rupture or intramuscular bleeding - it all depends on the strength of the blow, and on how well you "kissed" the shoulder. Meanwhile, athletes usually kick on the shoulder from the side-in, which is completely safe. It is clear that you cannot hit the shoulder joint with your foot from above, in front, in the back, they beat there with the base and edge of the palm, knuckles and the base of the fist, sometimes you can hit with the elbow - if the opponent is bent over. In a lying opponent, the shoulder can be knocked out with a blow of the foot (Fig. 53).
30. BRUSH FINGERS
It is common knowledge (at least to trauma doctors) that the fingers of the hands are easily injured. It is easy to knock them out of the joints or break them with a blow to the base of the palm, its edge, elbow, knee, or feet. It's even easier to break your fingers. For example, if the enemy caught you in a grip, do not waste your strength to tear his hands off yourself. Better start breaking his fingers. Let go immediately. Any finger can also be bitten off, cut off, shattered, if there is a desire (Fig. 54).
* * *
So, in order to incapacitate a person, make him suffer from pain, maim or kill, it takes much less strength than "teapots" usually think. You just need to not waving your limbs randomly (maybe I'll get somewhere), but purposefully attack the most vulnerable places.
Remember this not only during a fight, but also in training with partners. Otherwise, you will kill each other.

Good afternoon, dear readers! Yandex never ceases to amaze. Not even a week had passed since the start of the war was announced with the re-optimization of the page and the introduction of a new ranking formula, when the guys from the Safe Search team touched on the topic of site security on the official blog over the weekend and published a curious rating of vulnerable cms (Content Management System).
Today, in most cases, when creating an Internet resource, we use the engine. This is convenient, because without special knowledge, you can implement everything conceived - from the site itself to a gallery or forum, but like any software, they contain vulnerabilities. Knowing about which a hacker does not cost anything to hack a site and place malicious code, redirect readers to another resource, post questionable material, or infect computers with a virus. From such actions, not only the reputation of the resource can suffer, but also its owner.
All our attempts to protect the site from hacking sometimes come to naught due to the fact that cms in most cases consists of separate modules, plugins that are not checked for security, unlike the engine itself. Moreover, I want to note that the more popular the engine, the more and more often they will look for loopholes to break it.
It is known that the Yandex search engine quickly finds harmful scripts or codes on resources. In this case, its owner receives a warning by e-mail, and next to the link in the search results a warning appears, “The site is infected with a virus,” as a result, the number of readers is noticeably reduced.
Yandex analyzed the top 10,000 and determined that wordpress is the most popular engine, followed by joomla. A more visual picture can be seen in the diagram.
Thanks to research by the Safe Search team, it turned out that the most vulnerable cms is DLE, which is not so popular. This is followed by the vulnerability of Joomla 1.5 and Wordpess.
Moreover, versions 3.2.1, 3.1.3 and 2.9.2, which are widespread and not on infected sites, represent a special vulnerability in wordpress. Yandex simply recommends that webmasters working on these versions should carefully observe the security rules, so in just a month and a half, 57 new vulnerabilities in wordpress were discovered, which are mainly located in additional modules. The danger stems from the components “wp-forum”, “wp-slimstat”, “wordpress automatic upgrade” and a few others. A more complete overview of wordpress vulnerabilities can be found here.
If you are working on Joomla 1.5 try to be attentive to security issues, Special attention it is worth paying attention to the modules that are used for the forum. Since the beginning of the year alone, 38 new hack holes have been discovered. A more complete overview of joomla vulnerabilities can be found on this page.
You can protect your site from hacking and unauthorized entry by following simple recommendations from the Yandex security service:
1. Watch for engine updates.
2. Hide information about the version of the used engine and its extensions. This will make it harder for hackers to find holes.
Fists should not be waving anyhow, but aim at the most vulnerable places of the human body. What are these places, and how to beat there, today we will tell you.
1. Ankle joint
It is struck by a "trampling" kick from top to bottom, or by a "football" kick in the horizontal plane from the front or from the side. It is better to have the attacking foot in the shoe. This place is very sensitive for almost all people, because from childhood it is protected by shoes, but there is no muscle cover here.

2. Shin
The two shin bones (small and large) located here are almost not covered by muscles, so the pain from a blow to them pierces the whole body, like an electric discharge. It is possible to attack the shin both with the inner (with a "football" impact) and with the outer (with a side impact) side of the foot. This is best done with the stiff edge of your shoe. However, you can hit with the heel (heel) and the sole. Just do not hit the shin with your toe, as it can slip off and then the blow will not cause significant harm to the opponent.

3. Knee joint
The knee is the best target for low kicks. It is convenient to hit it from all sides, with any part of the foot, at any angle (top to bottom, bottom to top, horizontally), by any movement - pushing, swinging, trampling.

4. Crotch
You can hit this target with anything - toe and instep, heel, knee, fist, rib and base of the palm, with your fingertips pressed together.
You can not even beat, but simply grab the genitals with your hand and pull them towards you - to the side. However, this place is protected by men from childhood. We all tend to reflexively cover our crotch with our hand or thigh when we try to attack it. Therefore, such a blow rolls only with the distraction of the enemy's attention, for example: a lashing blow of the hand in the eyes.

5. Lower abdomen (pubic area)
There is no muscle armor in the lower abdomen, and there are numerous neurovascular plexuses inside the abdominal cavity. It is better to hit here with the toe of a shoe, with a knee, a fist, with the tips of fingers pressed together.

6. Solar plexus ("sun")
It is convenient to hit it with an elbow, knee, fist, the base of the palm, the second phalanges of the fingers, clenched in the manner of the so-called "devil's paw" (see the picture). For "jocks", overgrown with powerful muscles, it is difficult to break through the sun. But even they can't keep their abs tense all the time. On inhalation, the abdominal muscles relax, and this target opens up for defeat.

7. Cardiac plexus
This target is located just below the left nipple. Everything that has been said about the "sun" is also true here. We will only add that with a strong blow to the region of the heart, it can stop. Then death will come instantly. It is necessary to know about this so as not to beat there (the cardiac nerve plexus is more vulnerable than the solar one).
