Re: Pressure Points and Internal Striking

Thanks for the video. It appears you are using a basic 3 point pressure point attack in the beginning and augmenting it with other points as available. I think that if you strike someone, you should strike smartly. That is what pressure points and cavity presses are about.

A Kung Fu teacher and retired California DOJ co-worker/buddy of mine teaches similar from the Chinese traditions. He is the first to admit that when a perpetrator has adrenal dumped, the points you strike do not necessarily stop the fight suddenly as in demonstration, but they do help in wearing the guy down.

As for cavity press, (my favorite) I concentrate on setting up the attacker so that I take away his "iron vest" with "destabilization" and "Balance breaking" before I go for the shots. I get better bang for my buck that way.

Your thoughts??

He is the first to admit
