Okay so now we're going to speak about pressure points in self defense scenarios.

Like first, I would like to clarify that there are a lot of pressure points Okay? The word pressure points suggests that you have to press it but not all of them you are going to press, you can hit something and you can actually rub those points, so it's not only against pressure, Okay? That's very important.

The second important thing that you need to know is that there are like, these things how to press some points and knock some out. In reality that's probably not going to happen because you have to be very precise.

So what I'm going to do is I'm going to explain to you today, three points, three basic points where you can use them in self defense as targets by hitting them, by rubbing them or even pressing them, Okay? So, I'm going to face Mariposa, so the first pressure point that we are going to locate is very easy, when she flexes her arm, we see the line of flection, Okay?

We're going to measure on the inside, three fingers, Okay, three fingers from the inside, and we're going to do the fourth one, the pressure point, Okay? So again, three points and the fourth is going to be the pressure point. So, you are going to press and look at her face, that's how she will react normally, Okay?

So again, you can use it, not only by pressing the point, just imagine that you're going to grab me, this is a real situation, she's threatening me, she's pushing me away so what I'm going to do is I'm going to grab and I'm going to let it go, Okay? Again, press the point and let it go. I'm not only going to use by pressing, I can also use this by punching this part, very easy.

Imagine that she's going to punch me, I redirect and at the same time I punch that spot, Okay? That's very important that you know that not only can be pressed but it can be hit or even, what I was saying, it can be rubbed, you rub the point, Okay and it caused more pain, Okay? Very important, careful when you're practicing with your partner, Okay?

So the second point that we're going to see today is going to be located on the knee, Okay? We're going to see the knee cap, we're going to go from the inside, four fingers up and now we're going to press to that side, Okay? Okay, that's what we're going to get, Okay? So again, the pressure has to come to this direction, very important, not down, not up, just this direction, Okay? Exactly, Okay? We can use this by kicking, put one foot in the front, like this, Okay, boom, kicking that, Okay? We, that is how or we can even use our knee, very useful, here boom, devastated Okay? That's another pressure point.

And the third one, Okay? We're going to go again to the leg but this time we're going to go above the ankle, so what we're going to do is we're going to locate it and then we're going to go four fingers up and then we're going to use the fifth as a point, Okay, and we're going to press. That's exactly how we're going to feel, Okay? So again, you can do the pressure, you can actually rub it, Okay and in this case, you can also kick that spot, Okay? It's actually a good target to hit, Okay? Very important, you can hit this, Okay? You can hit this or you can hit this one, Okay? You can hit all of them, not only press them, Okay?

And that's how you normally use pressure points in a real scenario.

I came here thinking I could be Tylee from Avatar the last airbender

[roacha]

Who came here just to do these on your friends

[machang]

I'll just tickle the bully... Have you ever tickled someone? They just fall on the ground and die laughing

[johnpaul]

The girls probably like "why did I sign up for this"

[neerajbudhwani]

I tried the 1st pressure point on myself and I felt like current passing through my arm...
Really works

[Airman]

You should also talk about the "off switch" on the base of the neck and the back of the head. I've had to use it several times and it's very effective and it ends the fight quickly.

[ericlingggg]

If an enemy insist on war, than you take their ability to wage it.

Anyone else come here after watching Season 3 of Cobra Kai?

[atari_hmb]

I came here to hit pressure points like Lord Beerus.

[olivator]

Alright. Too many views and too many green thumbs. This will not work and here´s why:
1. You need GREAT precision to hit those point correctly.
2.If you DO hit them it WILL cause pain but it wont knock you attacker out which will make him more angry
3. You dont think as much when you are attacked. You wont remember "ah I have to hit 3 fingers up the elbow to cause him pain in the bicep." -No
4. If you are being robbed... give your money if you don't know exactly what to do and had extensive training. Anything else would be simply putting you life in danger.
5. Pressure points do not work the same for every person. If your attacker squats regularly or trains or jogs he will be less sensitive in those spots as he will have more muscle mass to protect the nerves.
6. This guy forgot striking rule number one in self defense: Always hit the groin first. Even if your opponent is a woman. A good hit to the balls will leave them exposed for a loooong time
There are even more reasons but these are in my opinion the most important ones. Be careful who you learn from.

[nativewombat]

Okay awesome! Always wanted to know how to defend myself against a much smaller, weaker woman.

[vicniz]

Legit everyone that came here after watching Chozen use miyagi-do pressure points:

[america]

I did the elbow pressure point just a little press and it hurts and I could still feel it for minutes. Good vid.

[dxdvilla]

So in a fight u expecting me to say to the guy that I'm fight with to check his body like "wait... Let me check if this is ur pressure point.... Ok come at me bro..." Am I right?

[louiseturner]

I tried this technique in a fight last just say i didnt win the fight

[carlosorozco]

whose here after chosen did this to Daniel-san

[starlabaker]

I want to try some of these on myself, but by the expressions on her face I'm reconsidering.
