Pressure points

I love to see my favorite topic come up again.

I would highly recommend Michael Kelly's book on the Death Touch. He places the topic in perspective from a medical science point of view. Pressure points work but not on everyone or always the same on every person.

I have submitted an article to black belt magazine on the topic and am still waiting to see if they will accept it.

Also, knocking out students in my opinion is dangerous-it causes a vaso-vagal reflex which if you have health problems could cause serious problems. Your blood pressure drops signficantly.
