Identify pain points. Pain points on the human body: detailed diagram and training video

17.10.2019

Any knowledge can be useful to us in practice. And knowing where the most painful points on the human body are located can, in a certain situation, even save your life and health, because you will know where it is better to hit an aggressive enemy or which areas of your body should be protected first. So…

crown

It is the most unprotected area at the top of the head. If a strong and sharp blow is applied to this zone, the person may die.

Temple

Detective stories often show how a person was pushed, his temple hit something and he died... It’s true, an artery of the brain membrane passes under the temple. A blow to this area can cause a concussion, which can lead to both fainting and death.

Nose

A blow to the nose is not only severe pain. This can disorient the person and cause bleeding. The nasal bone is very easy to break.

bridge of the nose

It is connected to the optic nerve. If you “knowingly” poke your finger at this point, it can be fatal.

Eyes

If you hit a person in the eye area, it is not just a sharp pain, the victim can completely lose vision. And if you poke your thumb into the eye, you can reach the brain itself and cause irreversible damage to it.

Lower jaw

The point located just below the junction of the jaw and ear is also called the “knockout area.” A side blow directed there leads to defeat cervical spine spine, and the opponent falls. That is why during a fight, participants often lower their chins, trying to cover a vulnerable spot.

Adam's apple

Even a light blow to this area can lead to suffocation or vomiting. If hit hard, it may cause loss of consciousness or death.

Elbow joint

Even when we accidentally hurt our own elbow, it is very painful. A strong blow to this area can cause numbness in the hand.

Solar plexus

Everyone knows that a blow there, especially one directed upward, is very painful, since it “comes” to internal organs– heart, liver, lungs. The consequences can be quite serious.

Heart area

A strong blow here can simply kill, as the person’s heart will stop. Poking your fingers between the ribs is very painful, although they do not pose any particular danger.

Stomach

It is in the abdominal area that most of our internal organs are located. It’s not for nothing that “belly” in Russian comes from the word “life”. Also in the old days, the expression “not sparing your belly” was common. A deep penetrating blow to the upper abdomen is especially dangerous. A blow to the lower part causes shock, and if it is strong enough, it can lead to serious internal damage.

Kidneys

No wonder the expression “beat off the kidneys” is so common. A blow to them not only causes severe pain, it can render the organ unusable and turn a person into a disabled person.

Groin

For men, blows to the groin and perineum area are especially painful. And if hit hard, it could be fatal.

Knee cap

A blow to the kneecap is not only very painful, it is fraught with injury and even disability. As a result of the blow, you can break the cup or impair the mobility of the knee joint, which will lead to permanent dislocations.

Myths about pain points

One of the most common misconceptions: if you know where to hit, you can incapacitate the enemy for a long time. In fact, it is important to know not only where, but also how and at what angle to strike.

Quite often you hear that there is some mysterious point on the neck, by pressing which you can make a person, if not die, then at least lose consciousness. Well, maybe martial artists are capable of this. But to an ordinary person it is difficult to find this point and influence it correctly. In the same way, it is a myth that a person can be killed with one light poke if you use a special “death touch” technique. This can only be seen in action films.

There is also a horror story that if you break a person’s nose, the broken cartilage can damage the brain. But from an anatomical point of view, this is simply impossible...

There is also a theory that pain points on the human body have varying degrees of vulnerability depending on the ebb and flow of energy. Those who supposedly master the so-called “art of the poisonous hand” can calculate such periods and use this to neutralize opponents. But this is not yet a confirmed legend.

All hand-to-hand fighters and fans of martial arts are familiar with the concept of a nerve center or vulnerable point. In addition to the well-known points such as eyes-throat-groin, there are several hundred others located both on the torso and on the limbs. Having looked at the map diagram of the abundant location of vulnerable centers on the body, it is very easy to decide that everything is simple - no matter where you knock, you will end up at some point. But this, fortunately, is absolutely not the case - otherwise, in an ordinary drunken fight, people would be killed by an accidental splash in the nose or chest. In fact, you need to know at what depth, at what angle, and what form of impact you should use in order to achieve this or that effect. Very many points are most sensitive to damage by small forms, and only a few know how to work with them. In addition, you need to very accurately know the anatomical location of the point and be able to work with a reflexology atlas.

Mystified eastern teachings, the kind that guarantee, if not going into outer space without a spacesuit, then at least physical immortality through mastering the mythical energy “Chi” or “Ki,” love to load their followers with tales on the popular topic about the art of the poisonous hand. Their essence is that if you know the time when a particular point has a maximum or, conversely, a minimum of energy, having mastered its control, you can, with a simple touch of your finger, send a person to the next world, and also after a given time period (day, month , year). So the unlucky followers of all kinds of sensei and gurus learn by heart thick Talmuds on acupuncture, memorizing the time of the “ebb and flow of energy” on the “meridians”, difficult to pronounce Chinese names dots and other nonsense. They do push-ups on their fingers or poke them into sand, beans and walls, earning arthritis from a young age. They spend precious hours of their free time on all sorts of meditations on mastering the “current of energy”, “opening the chakras, tan-tiens and clearing the channels” in the style of qigong, tai chi and other heresies, and, shamefully, getting hit in the head by the guys from the boxing or kickboxing section , they explain to themselves that their art does not need to be mastered for a year or even a dozen years, unlike rough fights. But when they master it, they will show it to everyone, wow! After all, they have such a cool teacher! (Who is so cool because he doesn't spar with anyone).

THROAT, SOLAR PLEXUS, groin

Let's consider blows to the above-mentioned places that “stop” the enemy. For example, a blow to the throat is dangerous even from a small child. But any adult can, with his action aimed at the throat, transfer his opponent to “another world”; it doesn’t require much force, just a vector poke in a certain direction. But this is science for special forces, which have to engage in mortal combat. But it is enough for a “mere mortal” to know that, for example, a gentle tap on the Adam’s apple with your fingers will stop any attacker, because in this place there are no muscles that cover the cartilage. In army manuals you can see a blow to the throat with the barrel of a machine gun, which is very effective.

Going lower, let's take the solar plexus. All the combatants received blows to this point, and everyone probably remembered the unforgettable sensations. Needless to say, such a blow requires little effort to knock the opponent into the fetal position! But at the same time, we must take into account that a strong blow delivered with a certain vector will kill the enemy, as those who are supposed to know know this. So you should be careful with blows to the solar plexus.

The groin is a place of “conviction” for many, especially in the city at night. It’s not for nothing that they say: you can’t pump up your eyes, throat, groin! But the danger is not that they will hit you in the groin, but in a place just above your “male” pride. For an internal hematoma and irreparable consequences, a kick in the “Grindars” is enough - that’s it, the operation is guaranteed!

Although, we should note that the following often happens “on adrenaline” - after a blow to the groin, the enemy jumps up after 2-4 seconds, and then you really need to try to emerge victorious from this fight! This happens due to the inaccuracy of the blow and the concentration of the aiming point on the genitals. In fact, you need to hit inward, with maximum effort from the bottom up!

TEMPORARY PARALYSIS

Shocking, paralyzing and disabling points are found along the lateral lines of the skull, face, throat and torso. A sharp and penetrating blow with a small form to these points causes the enemy to recoil or pull back a limb. Several repeated blows to these points cause a cumulative pain effect and, as a result, temporary paralysis of the limb.

These are points located in the center and on the sides of the articular folds of absolutely all joints of the arms and legs; located one third (of the length of the limb segment) above and below the joint; With inside forearms, by midline between the radius and ulna bones; on the arms and legs, where you can feel the bone through the muscles (on the hip and shoulder they are located along the inner and outer lines).

It is not located to the left of the sternum, as we commonly believe, but mainly along the midline and has the shape of a drop, inclined from the sternum with its sharp part towards the left nipple. The left ventricle is closest to the surface of the body. Just under the left nipple where the big one ends pectoral muscle, you can see or feel its pulsation. In athletes, it is shifted to the outer part of the body. As a result of penetrating the middle or index finger with a knuckle, this point becomes dislodged heartbeat. A simple fist blow introduces arrhythmia into the work of the heart, adding stress during the contraction and breathing phase. Possible closure of the valve and death. In a bad way (for the enemy, with your good blow), a rib breaks and the heart breaks.

HEAD

Figuratively speaking, it is a ball-skull on a spring-spine. Impacts from the side of the “spring” (in the horizontal plane) can destroy the bones of the facial skeleton (nose, jaw), but are partially absorbed. The impacts of tearing the “ball” from the “spring”, that is, from the bottom up towards the top of the head, are practically not absorbed.

It’s not for nothing that the chin is the point of turning off consciousness! But this is not easy to achieve, because... accuracy of the blow is required, at the same time, a side blow with an open palm or even a forearm to the jaw or extended arms (self-strike with one’s own limbs) very often “knocks out” consciousness. This is achieved by the total area of the lesion and the combination of the blow with the movement of the head upon impact, which is fraught with a concussion, and with the addition of a painful effect - knockout.

Reverse blows - in a horizontal plane to the back of the head - are also very dangerous. A sharp, non-piercing blow, the so-called “rabbit”, knocks out and can render you unconscious. A slightly stronger blow to this area, without touching on the details of its application, was prohibited from using “maroon berets” in the exam after the death of the officer.

Any blow with the forearm or elbow to the left or right side of the back of the head leads to loss of consciousness, and it does not matter whether it was a clean blow or not. To understand the effect of such work, ask a friend to lightly slap you on the back of the head with his palm, but from your position face to face. So how is it? Did you feel it!?

An ordinary “splash” directly to the back of the head or at a slightly angle breaks cartilage and thin bones. Result: “blood” (it is not necessarily visible from the outside, it can flow down the back wall of the throat). Someone is shocked, someone continues the massacre, not noticing the injury in the heat of the moment, and someone additionally goes berserk from the taste and sight of their own blood, and this happens. And as a result of a “catching” blow with the knuckles on the protruding part of the nose from the side, a painful shock occurs, although there may be no “blood”.

"Strawberry" This is everyone's favorite spot under the nose. Read about its use in combat survival in the “extremed” section (“SU” No. 2, 2004, article “If you are caught with a knife”). In a fight, a blow delivered to this point with the edge of the palm tangentially forces the enemy to turn his head in the direction of the blow, lose sight of you and open lateral surface jaws and heads. By pressing on this point with the base of the index finger, we force the enemy to throw his head up, open his Adam's apple to hit, hyperextend his back and lose stability... By the way, pressing on the tip of the nose causes the same effect. Option: hook the enemy’s nostrils from behind with any two fingers (you can do it with just one, but the degree of reliability of the combat element decreases.

Many have experienced a blow to the nose. But, as a rule, these are blows according to the pattern directly to this area of the face, but one of the Airborne Forces officers admitted that somehow in a fight he missed the “penny”, the blow slipped to the left, and what was his surprise when the attacker’s nose curled up to the side, and the enemy, squealing in pain, fell to the ground. He did not expect such efficiency.

EYES

A very delicate place in the fragile male body, almost the same as the testicles, only 2/3 hidden inside the body. Accordingly, there are just as many worries when squeezing, but tearing it off, unscrewing it, squeezing it (continue to the extent of personal sadism) is much more problematic. Especially if the “body” is stuffed, even if not with drugs, but with adrenaline, it actively puffs, spins and, well, doesn’t want to freeze, so that it would be more convenient for us to pick out those same eyes.

In a word, it is problematic to deprive a body of its eyes, since while this very body is not in a deep coma, it will reflexively withdraw its head, leaving the line of attack. This, by the way, is one of the simplest tests in the practice of resuscitation doctors for the “load” of the cortex.

Well, now you are armed with the terrible knowledge that although it is painful, it is not fatal, but your enemy does not know this, which is what we will use. Effects on the eyes go well immediately after a “relaxing” blow with the palm of the hand to the chin, nose, “from the wing” at the “rabbit” point behind the ear.

There is a so-called "officer's technique": a whip with a cap, a cap, a beret in the eyes! A very painful and shocking blow!

Grandfather, a Kuban Cossack, showed one of the authors a poke in the eye with his little finger, but not just like that, but in the process of chopping with sabers, i.e. fighting closely using edged weapons. The shock was intense when, having parried the blow with a saber, the grandfather took a step forward, pressing the attacking limb with the blade and changing the angle of the saber, allowing it to slip, performed this technique! This is what our grandfathers knew!

KADIK

According to legend, Adam, when he ate an apple from the Tree of Knowledge, choked on it, a piece got stuck in his throat - hence its second, ancient name “Adam's apple”. One of those interesting protrusions on an uncle's body that distinguishes him from an aunt. Accordingly, a reverent attitude towards him, the only one. To the point that some men, when simply touching this area, experience a spasm of the respiratory tract and suffocation (this is without compression!). By the way, terrible truth: a person does not die from a blow to the Adam’s apple! A person can die from subsequent suffocation or from reflex cardiac arrest with a deep penetrating blow with the edge of the palm across the midline, but not due to injury to the Adam's apple, but due to the impact on both vagus nerves. And an injection with a knife in the throat, if it was performed without subsequent ripping and exactly along the midline, that is, in the Adam's apple, does not carry with it any “lethal” consequences, except for a facilitated influx of waves fresh air to the lungs. There is such an operation, the simplest one, called conicotomy. The link for Stakhanovites and pioneers about the lack of responsibility of the authors for the consequences of performing exercises for techniques is VALID in this place, as in all others, even where they did not write, too.

Be that as it may, the effects on the Adam's apple have firmly migrated from street fighting and the teachings of gray-haired eastern elders to manuals on hand-to-hand combat for special forces around the world. For first aid for yourself or a friend when receiving this blow, read our development on extreme medicine (the above number is “SU”). In the meantime, try to touch your Adam’s apple, move it to the right and left, be bolder, pull it away from you and, conversely, press it to your neck. Well, it's not that scary. And now we will reveal the real secret technique! Above the Adam's apple there is another bone, the hyoid bone, for some reason everyone forgets about it, but in vain! By this bone, grabbing it with the fingers of your palm turned to the sky, it is very convenient to control the enemy. It is important to squeeze it to the point of breaking and push it upward at 45 degrees. Shockers on the Adam's apple: a casual strike with the knuckles of the phalanges of the “leopard's paw”; poke with the tips of bent fingers from the side (NOT IN THE Adam's apple) - from the Adam's apple towards the midline. In addition to hitting with the edge of the palm, there is also interesting option combined traumatic blow to the Adam's apple. First, a poke is made with the tips of the bent fingers into the jugular fossa, then the fingers are bent into the leopard's paw and the knuckles of the phalanges are pressed, and finally the knuckles of the fist are applied. In general, the entire movement is similar to the movement of a tank caterpillar.

Ripping the Adam's apple and windpipe are simple and reliable (compared to punching). They are divided into two groups: creasing (performed with one hand, the movement is similar to showing a sacred pagan gesture called fig and fig, less often with two hands) and tearing (performed with two hands).

The cruel truth: finishing off in any conflict was often carried out with the butt of a rifle or machine gun to the throat, namely the Adam's apple!

KNEE

One of the most complex and most vulnerable joints in our body. It is typical that injury or simply very severe pain can be caused from almost any direction. A blow from the side, from the inside or outside, tears the ligaments and breaks the joint. A blow from behind, in the popliteal fossa, tears the ligaments and knocks the leg forward.

A blow from the front also breaks knee-joint, unless it was bent 90 degrees. Representatives of hard styles are very fond of this position - they say, try to break a joint blocked in this position (deep lunge forward, archer stance). That’s how it is, a blow to the knee can withstand proper preparation, but there is one very interesting and fragile detail here. In Latin it is called “patella”, that is, the patella, or kneecap, as we are increasingly accustomed to. This very patella breaks, like a nut shell, with a good sharp blow with a “reset”.

Without the ability to stop an attacker and keep him at a distance, there is no combat system. Therefore, almost all martial arts target blows to the legs, namely the knee! The effectiveness is very high: if you carry out a “brush” (soccer kick on the ball) to the knees, multiplied by shoes and strength, we get an injury or at least a hundred percent stop of any attack! An example from life: a bunch of 10 young idiots were having fun as best they could, but they could only drink vodka and beer. They saw a man in uniform from afar and rushed to ask him what rank he was and what type of troops he was from! The clarification did not take place, because the man turned out to be an officer at the headquarters of the Airborne Forces, he had two campaigns in Chechnya behind him, and he did not want to get injured and expose himself to being “recognized” by the guys! But, being an old man and having seen a lot, he did not want to end young lives. Within 30 seconds, the acquaintance ended with blows to the legs, and more specifically to the ankles and knees. The officer scattered this group of accelerators, saving their lives and giving them another chance!

WORKING WITH ENGAGEMENT AND MANAGEMENT OF PAIN

The pain is triggered and carried from one point to another with sharp, strong, concentrated blows, which are applied sequentially to several points. They can be connected by pain into a single “meridian” and, for example, “dryed out”, that is, the limb can be disconnected - the so-called “fettered stream”. You can “drive the nail” deep by delivering high-speed strikes different strengths and amplitude at one point - it is loaded with pain.

One of the secrets of our ancestors was the ability to influence internal organs without using pressure points. Wave shock-impacts with a vector of force directed towards the liver, heart, kidneys, spleen, etc. up to the cerebellum, leading to death or loss of consciousness. They enhanced the effect of application by mentally placing a hard object - a stone, the tip of a sword - inside the attacked organ of the body part: “And the enemy appeared mentally before him, and he brought the stone to the adversary in his hand, with the full weight of his thoughts, at his head...”

As you can see, the system of initial acquaintance with pain points is simple, easy to remember and immediately.

When the wind of change blows, set not walls, but sails.
Eastern wisdom.

Each person has the same ones, the defeat of which does not depend on the physical strength, character or arrogance of the attackers. These are simply human vulnerabilities. Therefore, in battle it is necessary to inflict damage on a person’s vital points. you can knock out your opponent in literally seconds. Pain points actually do not lend themselves to any kind of hardening, and it is simply impossible to train, for example, the throat, testicles or eyeball to withstand a blow. Likewise, bones can quite naturally be destroyed only by applying sufficient load.

Knowing the pain points allows you to make it as short as possible. It should be short - literally a few defense movements and a few defeat movements, nothing more.

Therefore, studying vital points is the basis of the basics of hand-to-hand combat. Therefore, it is necessary, first of all, to study “human pain points” and ways to defeat them.

And of course you should know what to protect first and how. What I mean is that you can expose your big muscles to attack if you don't have time to fully defend yourself. And thereby protect yourself with the mass of your muscles.

First you need to study where to hit, and only then figure out how to hit.

Knowing the vital points is a step towards exceptional effectiveness of the combat system. Without this knowledge, you will simply scatter your energy into nowhere. And actions will not have that effective power and completeness.

Of course, it’s good if you regularly engage in sports, and are full of energy and experience, to “smack” your opponent in the jaw with your fist, or kick him in a jump. When you are in a strong versus weak position, you can do this and you will surely win. He looks like a great guy who's just bursting with energy.

But it’s a completely different matter when you are in a position of weak versus strong. This is where knowledge of the “pain points of the lesion” will be very useful to you. When, for example, you are tired or injured and the pain is unbearable, but you still need to defend yourself, when you are overwhelmed by rage, and you know that you can not only lose but also lose your health or even your life, then use the knowledge of pain points. And you will understand at this moment how priceless this knowledge is. Then you will know what real hand-to-hand combat is. But here the defender is more likely to look like someone who will rip out the enemy’s throat for his life. This is an “either you or them” situation and I think your choice should simply be simple - survival.

We will look at the vital points of a healthy and strong person. The defeat of which will lead to injury to the enemy under any conditions, regardless of the physical and psychological state of the enemy. That is, we are looking for weak spots, hitting which we are guaranteed to be able to disable the enemy.

This is the knowledge of pain points on the enemy’s body. This is the ability to find truly weak points and hit them, no matter what kind of enemy is in front of you.

One of the main principles of combat should be the principle: reach the enemy’s weak points and hit them. This can be said that the goal of close combat is to hit the enemy’s weak points. Nothing can be more important in close combat than hitting the enemy's weak points. And this is exactly what my entire combat system is built on. And most importantly, it doesn’t matter what you hit with, the striking technique is not an end in itself, but only a means. And your defense should simply be based on hitting the pain points. I think there is nothing more important than defeating the enemy’s pain points.

You don't really need any technique, just hit the pressure points and you'll win in close combat.

BASIC PRINCIPLES OF DAMAGE TO HUMAN VITAL POINTS

I think they are the following:

Every person has the same vulnerabilities.
Pain points cannot be trained and they are equally affected in any person.
Use your strength against your opponent's weakness, and vulnerabilities are that same weakness. This is the principle of concentrating strength against weakness.
Attack the nearest vulnerable points.
Strike accurately.
Attack the most vulnerable parts of the body first.
The first points of attack are: eyes and groin. They are the most vulnerable and easily attacked. The eyes and groin are the “Great Equalizer” in a real street fight.
The second points of attack are: eyes, throat, groin, knees, legs,
The strongest blow is to the weakest and most unprotected place.
Circulatory system disorder
Damage to the nervous system
Respiratory system damage
At the points of the first defeat, deliver a biting and as fast as possible blow, to which the enemy will not have time to react.
Next, strike as hard as possible.
A fatal blow is a blow after which the enemy has no way to resist; in real combat, this is like death.
a series of blows to painful points. We deliver not just one blow to a painful point, but a series of blows that are guaranteed to incapacitate the enemy, and he will not be able to continue the fight.
It is the pressure points that make the real fight very fleeting. It's just a clash, and the one who hits the enemy's pressure point first wins. It's like: who will be the first to grab a gun and shoot. The situation is something like this. And knowing the pain points means knowing where this very gun is located.

BASIC CLASSIFICATION OF VULNERABLE POINTS ON THE HUMAN BODY

I will show you about ninety attack points, the defeat of which can incapacitate the enemy.

hair - grab to gain control over the enemy. You can control your opponent using his hair. To increase the impact force (two forces add up, and two speeds), pull your hair towards the striking surface. It is better to pull the hair well, towards the ground.
Top of the head - blow from above with a blunt object. It could also be a fist. But we strike from above
cerebellum or occipital fossa - blunt blow. The cerebellum is responsible for the vestibular apparatus and coordination of movements. Punch from behind. Causes a concussion and possible fracture of the cervical vertebrae.
upper part of the skull - blow from above with a blunt object
the top vertebra or base of the skull at the back. (the junction of the skull with the vertebra). strike with a fist or the back of your hand. A clear direct blow displaces the vertebrae.
temporal artery A light blow with a knife to the temporal artery can cause heavy bleeding.
temporal bone or temple - a classic blow with a fist or the heel of the hand from the side (side blow) an accurate and powerful blow can cause death. The temporal bone is quite thin. A strong enough blow to the side of the temple can be fatal. A kick (foot) to a lying opponent is a guaranteed finishing move. The temporal bone is quite thin. So look, death is possible.
Ears - grab and pull the ears. While struggling, you can grab your teeth. Hitting the ear with a fist is just as effective. There are many blood vessels leading to the ears.
Earlobe – while struggling or at close range, grab it with your teeth. You can see an example of the effectiveness of a bite on the earlobe by watching the boxer fight between M. Tyson and E. Hollifield. Tyson used a bite on the earlobe as a last resort. And he even took a bite. Hollifield simply ran from the ring. And this is the World Boxing Champion. An experienced and persistent fighter. This is definitely true. So that. A simple bite on the earlobe.
Eardrum - you can poke something like a pen or hairpin directly into the ear hole. Stunning blow from two palms to the ears.
Points behind the ears. point under the ears - just under the earlobe there is a very painful point when opportunity poke it. Press on two points at the back. It's just a disgusting feeling.
brow ridges and bones around the eyes - good shot with a fist or the heel of the palm can cause a cut in the skin of the brow ridges, and the opponent’s eyes will flood with blood, he becomes practically helpless.
eyes are . Eyes are always open. in addition, the bone between the eye and the brain is no more than 2-3 mm thick. So a poke with a sharp object can even cause death. Still, be careful
the point between the eyes is an effective point of destruction, but unfortunately it is difficult to be vulnerable in a real battle.
bridge of the nose - a blow with a fist or the heel of the hand can cause a fracture of the bridge of the nose, which will cause severe pain. The blow is delivered either directly or from above.
point under the nose. An excellent place for both a striking attack and for influence that involves control (for example throws)
nostrils - if necessary, you can stick two fingers in and pull. Like hooks.
nose – a blow to the nose knocks the enemy down and causes bleeding (which is essentially harmless). At close range you can bite the nose.
upper lip. A blow to the teeth can cut the upper lip, as well as the lower one.
cheek - you can slap the cheek to cool the ardor. And also grab with your fingers from the inside or outside for control.
underlip. It can also be cut by a blow to the teeth.
teeth. If you hit your teeth, you may not knock them out, but you can cut your lips. With the very teeth of the enemy.
tongue - of course, you cannot attack the tongue as such, but if the enemy sticks it out, be sure to pinch it with his teeth. For example, a blow to the lower jaw with a fist. Or a slap on the chin.
. A classic punch to the chin: straight, from the side, from below, causes temporary loss of consciousness and a concussion, but the blow must be strong enough. The principle is that when hit on the chin, it acts as a lever that forces the brain to hit the inner wall of the skull, thereby causing a concussion.
Attacks with a blow to the chin. May be knocked out or even broken
point under the chin. Hit with fingers or some sharp object.
throat – I put the throat in third place after the eyes and testicles. The throat attack is very effective. Any surface of the brush. As well as improvised items. At close range - suffocation.
Adam's apple (Adam's apple). an excellent target to launch an attack on.
point under the Adam's apple, poking with closed fingers can cause suffocation.
carotid artery - runs along the sides of the neck on both the right and left. (called sleepy because it nourishes the brain). Suitable as a blow that can cause temporary compression of the carotid artery and, accordingly, stop the supply of power to the brain. Likewise, a cut with a sharp object, the time during which the enemy will lose enough blood to lose consciousness, is very short.
neck - the famous karate blow to the neck with the edge of the palm. You can hit with your fist. Probably you should hit when the enemy is bent over. We also use the cervical vertebrae for throwing and control.
The collarbone is an excellent target for incapacitating an opponent. Easily breaks and causes severe pain. Without causing the enemy any particular harm associated with danger to life.
the depression between the collarbones is a blow with clenched fingers. At the point between the collarbones. Will cause breath holding.
jugular artery (vein?) - a blow with a sharp object to the point between the collarbones is possible. And damage to the so-called jugular artery. (I just call it the jugular artery. Because at this point there are a lot of veins and arteries. Which are inappropriate to understand. In hand-to-hand combat manuals, this point is called exactly the jugular artery, which is somewhat incorrect.
ribs Hitting the ribs is very painful. They can also cause rib fractures.
11th and 12th ribs - they are not fixed as rigidly as other ribs, and therefore are called floating. Easily broken with a powerful blow.
short processes of the lower ribs in front
knuckles of the fingers. are excellent for inflicting acute pain not associated with a significant danger to life. It is also an excellent means of control during arrest.
wrist (wrist joint) – used for creases. Like one of the weak joints of the hand.
forearm
ligament: shoulder joint - elbow joint, wrist joint - hand - fingers. The main purpose for performing painful holds on the arm, creases, bends, holds.
elbow, a blow to the very tip of the elbow with a baton can completely paralyze the entire arm.
elbow joint
point above the elbow
biceps. This will of course require a strong blow, but it can disable the hand.
triceps - you need a strong enough blow that can disable the arm.
the point between bc/tc/delta - a good powerful blow can take the hand out of the fight.
axillary artery. Quite difficult to be vulnerable. But knowledge can come in handy.
oxter
axilla
solar plexus - take your breath away. But I warn you, a rather strong blow is required here.

heel - a precise kick to the heel can cause acute pain.
Achilles tendon - precise blow with the toe of the boot.

As you can see, the list is impressive, it seems that a person is a continuous “pain point”, but not all pain points are of equal importance for the battle and defeat of the enemy. More practical in terms of the degree of damage. So I combined different points into groups according to the order of defeat. Starting with those whose defeat will cause maximum and rapid damage. In principle, a person is protected only by his muscles, and of course by his intellect, which finds ways to effectively protect himself.

I think it’s simple and effective because, of course, damage to the eye and the point between the biceps and triceps will have different lethality and, accordingly, different effectiveness in battle.

I resolved this issue for myself by classifying these points according to the degree of damage and the effectiveness of the damage.

And finally, a strange video - what can we do about it? If... Maybe he’s right “Being a warrior is the most effective method live"

Hello, friends. What are a person’s pain points, where to hit during a fight? This question is relevant not only for representatives of martial arts, but not even for athletes. After all, from .

This article discusses the most vulnerable areas of the human body. When they are defeated, the chances of winning over your opponent seriously increase. Also presented are detailed diagrams of where it is better to attack during battle.

About the body and pain points

The human body is a certain mechanism. Its secrets began to be studied in ancient times. The study came to the conclusion that, no matter how perfect the body may look, it has masses of vulnerable areas.

These are the pain points. Hitting them causes very severe pain. And they began to be called dots because of the method of their targeted destruction.

They can be affected with different powers. To do this, it is important to calculate the strength of this impact.

Determination of impact force

Today, the strength of an attack on a vulnerable point can be determined using a special technique. It has five levels:

Weak. This attack does not cause much damage to humans. It's just a distraction. With its help, the attacker can carry out an effective counterattack.
A little stronger than the first.
Can stun an opponent. His limbs may also become numb. This good way for short-term neutralization of an opponent
A violent attack, often resulting in serious injury. The enemy may lose consciousness. In rare cases, he is struck by paralysis.
The most dangerous attacks. May be fatal.

Strikes of the last level should be used only in an emergency situation, when you or your loved ones are in mortal danger. Their use can be interpreted as exceeding the required standards.

Finding pain points

Where are the pain points on the human body? All such points are conditionally distributed into “locations”. The locations are: head, body and legs.

The scheme for finding the points of the first location is as follows:

The list of points consists of the eyes, nose, ears, lips, chin and temples.

Eyes are one of the most vulnerable areas. Any attack on them causes serious pain. To defeat them, the “fork” method is used.

Nose. Even the weakest attack against it causes bleeding and serious inconvenience. If you need to hit the enemy effectively, implement a catching assault. Engage your knuckles. They affect the convex side of the nose. Impact - side. It will provide your counterpart with a strong painful shock.

Whiskey. Their defeats have the most detrimental effect on the enemy’s health. Important nerves and blood vessels are concentrated here. With a strong blow hitting the temples can seriously injure or even kill a person.

Upper lip. This is one of the most vulnerable areas. If you hit it powerfully at an angle of 20-30 degrees, you can injure the brain. If you carry out an attack of medium strength, the opponent will experience burning pain in this place. Also, damage to the lip often causes bleeding.

If you attack the chin effectively, you can break it and cause a concussion. To do this you can use back side hands.

The pharynx is also considered a very vulnerable area. She can be hit with a strong poke with her fingers. It will become difficult for your opponent to breathe. There will be a spasm in his lungs.

You can also attack the Adam's apple, but only with tearing grips. Many other attacks can result in the death of the enemy.

Most attack options at this location are fatal. It is recommended to use tearing grips.

If you want to quickly knock out your opponent, hit him in the neck with the back of your hand.

Location – building

During the battle, you can hit points on the body. And in this situation, a detailed diagram of where to hit during a fight and body attack will help.

Often, to win, they carry out fist attacks on the solar plexus. After which the opponent feels severe burning pain, bends or kneels.

You can't hit this area too hard. Otherwise, you will simply kill your counterpart.

The next group consists of the abdomen, groin area and kidneys. Hitting your stomach with your fist will force your opponent to bend over. This will allow you to carry out additional attacks to the back or back of the head. You can also use your toe here.

The groin is a very convenient point to hit. To immobilize an opponent, you can attack him with legs, palms and fists, as well as knees.

If you want to cause a powerful nervous shock in your opponent, attack his kidneys. For this, the edge of the palm and the knee are used. Only if you overdo it with pressure, you can kill a person.

Often the false rib also becomes a target. It can be hit from both sides. The most effective attack is to the opponent's right side. Use the elbow, knee, or edge of the palm.

Location – legs

Here the dangerous points are:

Knees. If you hit here at side or directly into the cup, the opponent will become immobilized, his ligaments and knee joint will be damaged. To carry out the attack, use the edge of the boot.
Ankles. To defeat them, the outer edge of the boot is used. It is held perpendicular by such an impact. Hitting with the toe of a shoe can cause serious injury.
Shin. This is where the bone is thinnest. And she has weak defense. An effective assault is considered to be an assault with the outer edge of the foot. It is carried out from below on the line of one third of the height of the shin.
Foot. This is where the most fragile bones are found. They are easy to break even with a moderate blow. Most often, the heel or foot is used to attack from top to bottom. The best moment for an assault is when the opponent is behind you.

Conclusion

Hitting pressure points is actively used in special combat techniques. Their purpose is to ensure a person’s safety in an emergency.

Try to attack these points when you are in serious danger.

A science called reflexology suggests replacing the use of drugs with other, more in interesting ways. Scientists in this area believe that a person has certain places on the body, by pressing on which you can: relieve headaches, get rid of worries, or even cure insomnia.

Can you imagine? And this is no magic. And this is such an unusual science. And, as they say, there is only one way to check its veracity - to check how these same points work.

Well? Are you ready for a little experiment? Then, let's go.

Anti-nasal congestion

We are sure that each of you is familiar with such an unpleasant thing as a runny nose. Usually, he comes at the most inopportune moment. And it is capable of quite poisoning our lives. If you think there is nothing wrong with this. We hasten to dissuade you. Doctors believe that nasal congestion reduces the quality of life more than such unpleasant diseases, like lung disease and even heart disease.

It may seem incredible, but you can fight a runny nose with self-massage. To do this, you need to influence the points located in the grooves above the wings of the nose. Just massage two symmetrical points at the same time for 2-3 minutes. And you will notice how the unpleasant mucus in your nose will begin to dissolve.

Stress relief

If any of you do not know, then we are simply obliged to convey to you the following information. Severe stress not only causes moral depression, but also worsens a person’s physical health. Namely, it contributes to the appearance of: insomnia, headaches, indigestion, constant feeling of fatigue, colds and exacerbation of chronic diseases.

And now you understand correctly. You need to fight him! And now we will suggest a method that anyone can master.

Feel the small depressions on the back of the head, they are located symmetrically, right under the occipital bone, on the hairline, at the junction of the head and neck. You can massage these points one by one or simultaneously. This is best done with the pads of your middle fingers, in a circular motion, clockwise.

To alleviate the anxious state, 5 minutes of such self-massage is usually enough. You will be surprised, but after such actions, you will actually feel better. Be sure to try it!

Headache

What could be worse than a headache or migraine? When this happens, it is simply impossible to think about anything else. Agree, you can cope with headaches without pills and special ointments. As you may have guessed, this ailment also quickly disappears thanks to massage of certain points.

One of them is located directly above the bridge of the nose. To find it, mentally draw a line connecting your eyebrows. The miracle point is located right in its center. Also, pressing on it can relieve tension from the eyes.

Massaging two symmetrical points located above the outer tips of the eyebrows is also effective. The points are located on the hairline. If massaging these places does not completely relieve the discomfort, it will certainly reduce them significantly.

How to cheer yourself up?

Think about yourself during times of heavy workload at school or work. Surely, at this moment your best friends are lack of sleep and fatigue. Right? These two conditions do not allow you to cope with everyday tasks at 100%. What is there! You can barely stand on your feet.

If you have absolutely no time, lie down and relax during the day. Try to influence the point located in the notch above the upper lip. This is the so-called “cheerfulness point”.

Another place similar in function is located right in the center of the palm. Massage it on both palms in turn and, instead of lethargy and drowsiness, you will feel how energy fills your body.

Well, to finally wake up, massage your earlobes with your thumbs and forefingers.

A toning massage of each point should be carried out with fairly intense pressure for 30-60 seconds on each place. That's all! Your vigor is guaranteed!

Relieving toothache

Of course, acupressure will not help cure bad teeth. But, if it is not possible to see a dentist right now, self-massage may well help you survive even seemingly unbearable sensations.

The first point can be found between the thumb and index finger. About a couple of centimeters from the edge of the membrane. You will recognize it by its small depression.

Another effective point for relieving toothache is located at the junction of the upper and lower jaws. With the teeth closed, the muscles at this point will protrude slightly. When the jaws are relaxed, a depression is formed at this point. Symmetrical places should be massaged - at the same time. Usually, 2-3 minutes is enough to relieve pain.

But, if this does not help better, immediately run to the doctor.

To prevent back pain

It seems to us that the majority of our readers are quite young. However, it would seem that even at a young age, sometimes there is a feeling that you are an “old grandfather”. Well, the same thing when you sit for a long time, then suddenly stand up, and your back starts to hurt.

Sound familiar? Such pain is one of the common reasons for seeking medical help. It can be associated with: spinal discs, nerve endings, muscles and other important parts of the body. When you go to the hospital, of course, you may be offered a bunch of different treatment methods. Starting from stretching and ending with surgery.

Well, wait, maybe first we’ll try to overcome the back pain ourselves. Don't worry! This actually works. Even studies have shown that for some people, acupressure is more effective than "doctor's stuff."

So let's get started

Place thumb left hand on the webbing between the thumb and index finger right hand.

The desired point is located just below the junction of the bones of the large and index finger. Press on this point, from above - with the thumb of your left hand and from below - with the index finger of your left hand. Lower the remaining fingers of your left hand. When you first press on a certain point, you will probably feel a slight pain or burning sensation. But, don't worry: this means that you click in in the right place and the pain will soon pass. You'll see.

Relieving Nausea

An unpleasant feeling when breakfast, lunch or dinner asks to come out can arise for a variety of reasons. Whether it’s motion sickness on the road or simply a spoiled product. Whatever it was. In any case, you would like to get rid of it. We, of course, are not doctors, but we can help by telling you about the same “magic points”.

To make nausea leave you alone, you need to find a special place. Step 3 finger widths down from the transverse crease at the wrist and press the point between the two large tendons with your thumb.

Found it? Here it is, the solution to your problem. Press firmly on both sides of your wrist with your thumb and index or middle finger. Then gently but forcefully massage it in a circular motion for several minutes. You may feel relief—immediately. But sometimes it takes up to 5 minutes.

There is another effective, but less effective way to suppress nausea. You need to pat one wrist against the other, while breathing deeply. Continue for several minutes until you feel the nausea stop.

Some may find that patting or rubbing their wrists together is easier than finding and massaging the sweet spot. But, as we have already said, in some cases this technique does not work. And in the end, you still have to poke your fingers a little.

Deep sleep

Many people suffering from insomnia are interested in: “Does a person have such a point that serves as a “switch of the body”?” I wanted it and fell asleep at once. No torture or endless counting of sheep with your eyes closed.

In fact, each person has several of these “switches”. By pressing on special points, you can relax as much as possible, which will make it possible to get rid of the signs of insomnia.

The first point is a place located at a distance of 1 centimeter from the outer corner of the eye. You should massage it with your index and middle fingers, and you won’t notice how reality mixes with sleep.

The second useful point in falling asleep is the area between the eyebrows. To activate it, you need to press it several times with your index finger.

Well, if you want sleep to come almost instantly, you need to press on the points above eyeballs, with two fists. After which, lower your eyelids and try to see with your inner gaze your own legs.

General condition of the body

If you suddenly became interested - is there such a point that can tone your entire body? We assure you it exists!

And this “miracle place” is located, just above the eyebrows, in the middle of the forehead. It is also called the “third eye”. Well, if you thought that she had some kind of magical power. It's not like that at all! By massaging the skin of the forehead with slight pressure, in this place, blood circulation in the body is significantly improved, muscle tension is reduced, and brain function is perfectly stimulated.

Pressing on this point also helps improve concentration, relieves headaches and helps with eye fatigue. They also say that regular massage of this point will allow you to develop a sense of intuition. To be honest, we haven't tried it ourselves. But, if suddenly you succeed, then you can safely be considered a powerful psychic.

Palpitations

Each of you may encounter an unpleasant situation when, out of breath, you cannot regain your breath and your heart is about to “jump out of your chest” or, on the contrary, stop. This state can be experienced after a hasty journey to school or an important meeting.

And it seems like quite a lot of time has passed since this time, but your heart is still beating like crazy. Stop! Just don’t rush to run for sedatives now, dispersing an already restless organ. For this case, we also found a point that will help you come to your senses.

The place responsible for the functioning of the heart is located in the palm of the hand, under the thumb. If you bend your fingers, your index finger will point right into it.

If your pulse increases, massage this point in a circular motion, counterclockwise. When slow - clockwise. But, in general, that's all. Your heart is calm, and your body is glad that this time there were no pills.

Bonus

We have listed only a few of the points in our body, the impact of which can help you in some situations. However, do not forget that depending on the intensity and speed of pressure on a certain point, you can not only heal yourself or your friend, but also harm.

Let's remember the deadly Chinese martial arts- “Dim Mag”. It is a technique of influencing those very points of a person. Some scientists who study this technique claim that its effect is comparable to “a severe heart attack.”

In other words, pressing on certain places creates both positive and negative effects on human health. A blow delivered to a certain point can even lead to death.

The art of Dim Mag is mentioned in many films. However, the most famous episode is from the movie Kill Bill 2. When Beatrix Kiddo kills Bill with the 5 Finger Punch. Fortunately, the heart is one of the protected organs of our body. It is protected by: the lungs, the diaphragm and the entire chest.

All this puts the Beatrix Kiddo kick among numerous techniques that are practically impossible to perform in real life. But, be that as it may, put pressure on your body - be careful.
