I’ve had this stuff done to me and have done it to others, and there’s a lot of damage that can be done. Try sticking a thumb in somebody’s eye - which is one of the 36 “death” points.
Really?? You’ve done this?
So…How’d your court date go?
Not really trolling here- I think that takes plain steel cojones to do a thing like that- and to try to explain it afterwards (esp. to TEST it)…too much for me! I’ll just stick with plain jane kung fu and say the dog did it.
Somone asked about more info? I have on my website the meridian charts for the points, some with brief descriptions. Im still working on it. But hey, its free…
If you want to be a good fighter and good at self defense: Train hard, condition your body, be ready to fight any time, be able to feel pain and inflict pain on others, etc. etc. I read the Bubishi. I read tons of books on meridians, kyoshu, Dim Mak, nerve manipulation, circle of destruction, 24hr cicles when certain organs are most vulnerable to strikes, etc. etc. Trust me, when someone is swinging at you, you’re not going to be looking at the clock to determine the proper way ot setting up a deadly strike which will shut down the liver.

My standpoint on this is that pressure points are pretty cool weapons to have but - as Gary has been saying - you need to know how to fight first. There’s no use in trying to hit a point somewhere if you know nothing of timing and distance etc.

It seems the only people who believe pressure point kung fu is actually real are the “masters” who practise it themselves.
In a video that has gone viral, a Chinese kung fu master pitted his skills against a Western Muay Thai practitioner.
The master claimed his bicep pressure point technique could counter the traditional Muay Thai clinch, despite his opponent also being a lot bigger than him.
The results are as hilarious as you’d expect.
The Muay Thai practitioner applies the clinch, and the kung fu master starts hitting him with chops to the bicep – one of the supposed pressure points that, if struck with a direct hit, can instantly defeat an opponent.
The opponent just shrugs off the chops and keeps the clinch tight, fastening his arms around the back of kung fu master’s neck to reduce the distance.

Seemingly frustrated, he then tries to knee his opponent (which, of course, is a dangerous game against a Muay Thai fighter if you’re signalling that knees are OK).
Thankfully our Muay Thai man goes easy on him – it’s just a sparring session after all.
