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 a way out open space without a spacesuit, then at least physical immortality due to mastery of the mythical energy “Chi” or “Ki”, they 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 of points 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-tens 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, who 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 swipe, applied with a certain vector, will kill the enemy, as those who are supposed to know know it. 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 located 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; on the inside of the forearm, along the 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 is commonly believed, 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 the knuckle of the middle or index finger piercing this point, the heart rhythm is disrupted. A simple fist blow introduces arrhythmia into the work of the heart, adding stress during the contraction and breathing phase. Possible valve closure 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 with total area defeat and combining the blow with the movement of the head during the 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 being used in the exam" maroon berets"after the death of an 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 not be “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 any two fingers of the enemy behind the nostrils from behind (you can do it with 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 a 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 medical (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 same 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” (football 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, “dry”, that is, disconnect the limb - 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.

There are many points on the human body, the impact of which can cause severe pain, partial paralysis and even severe damage, including death.

There are a lot of such zones on the human body, many of them are prudently hidden by nature from easy access. However, many remained on the surface. Of course, the complete art of hitting pain points is whole science, which can be studied for more than one year. In order to use self-defense, it is enough to know and be able to accurately hit only a few basic ones.

The most vulnerable points of the head.

A blow to the temple.

The temple is one of weak points skulls Deep under the temple is the artery of the brain membrane. The average thickness of the skull is 5 millimeters, in the thickest place it is 1 centimeter thick, in the temple area the thickness of the skull is only 1-2 millimeters. A blow to this area can cause a concussion, loss of consciousness and death.

Hit to the back of the head.

This point is located in the center of the back of the skull at the junction of several bones and can be felt as a slightly elongated structure. This cavity is the weak point of the head. With a weak blow to this point, a concussion and loss of consciousness occurs. If the blow is strong, it can lead to hemorrhage and death.

A blow to the brow ridge.

These points are located above the eyebrows. Blood vessels and nerves pass through these areas. A moderate blow can damage them and cause bleeding in the eyes and loss of consciousness.

A blow to the lower jaw.

This point is located at the corner of the jaw below where it articulates with the ear. A blow to this area breaks the bone into small pieces. This area is also known as the "knockout area" because a side kick aimed at it strikes the cervical spine, causing the opponent to fall. This is one of the reasons why in real combat fighters often lower their chin to cover the point of the lower jaw.

Punch to the chin.

If you draw a straight line from the corner of your mouth, a certain perpendicular downwards. Then, intersecting with the line of the chin, an amazing point of defeat will be identified. Its property is that if even a light blow is applied to it in the direction of the cervical vertebra, it will cause a knockout effect.

A blow to the nasal bone.

This point is located on the nasal bone, between the eyebrows. The nasal bone is thick at the top and thins at the bottom; there is a small vein in the center that goes to the nasal cavity. A blow to this area can easily damage the nasal bone and lead to severe bleeding and difficulty breathing. In addition, a blow to the nose is very painful and impairs vision.

A blow or slap to the ears.

There are many blood vessels and nerves running near the ears. A blow to the ears damages the outer ear and the eardrum can stun the opponent.

A blow to the eye.

The eye is one of the most vulnerable places on the human body. Even a slight poke in the eye with a finger can temporarily blind a person and cause him severe pain. The elasticity of the eye allows it not to be damaged even by deep pressure, so a dosed, but strong enough force can deprive the enemy of resistance, but will not deprive him of life or vision. Of course, there is a risk, the effort in this case cannot be accurately calculated, but nevertheless, when saving your life, you should not worry about the health of the aggressor.

The most vulnerable points of the neck.

A slash to the back of the neck.

This point is located near the third vertebra of the neck. A slight blow to it causes displacement of the vertebrae, which as a result puts pressure on the spinal cord. A medium-strength blow will knock out the opponent and can lead to serious complications. A strong blow that interrupts the nerves of the spine leads to immediate death.

Slash to the throat (thyroid cartilage)

The thyroid cartilage (in common parlance, the Adam's apple) is surrounded by numerous blood vessels and nerves, and behind it is the thyroid gland. A blow to the throat causes severe pain and loss of the ability to breathe. If the opponent's head is tilted back when striking, the result of the impact will be much greater.

The most vulnerable points of the torso.

Impact to the sternum (solar plexus)

The sternum is located in the center of the body. In this area is the heart, below the liver and stomach. There is no protection in the form of ribs. Therefore, a blow to this area directly affects the heart, diaphragm and nerves between the ribs. A blow to the solar ventricle causes severe pain in the walls of the stomach and difficulty breathing. The enemy loses the ability to defend himself. A severe blow can lead to stomach bleeding, heart failure, liver rupture, internal bleeding, loss of consciousness and, in some cases, even death.

A blow between two ribs.

Usually the blows are directed to the 7th, 8th and 9th ribs and their connecting cartilages. On the left is the heart area, on the right is the liver. Ribs 5 through 8 are the most curved and the easiest to break, especially where the bones meet the cartilage. A strong blow to this area can cause a heart attack, liver damage, internal bleeding and possibly death.

A blow to the moving ribs.

Movable ribs are located at the bottom of the chest. These are the 11th and 12th ribs. They are not attached to the sternum. Since the ribs are not secured in front, the impact will cause them to break inward. This, in turn, can lead to their penetration into the liver or spleen, which is deadly.

A blow or pressure on the armpit.

Many blood vessels and nerves pass through this area. In addition, this cavity has no muscle or bone protection. Attacking this area with the fingers can cause an electric shock-type sensation and temporary loss of motor ability in the hand. Strong pressure can cause damage to nerves and blood vessels, making it difficult to move the arm.

A kick or hand to the pubic bone.

This area is very sensitive. A blow to it is quite painful and leads to the inability of the enemy to continue resistance.

Kick or hand to the crotch

Many nerves pass through this point, and above are the genitals and bladder. A slight blow to this area will cause very severe pain. A strong blow can rupture the bladder and cause shock.

The most vulnerable points of the legs.

A blow to the kneecap.

A blow to this area causes severe pain. The greatest effectiveness occurs when the supporting limb on which the body weight is concentrated is attacked. The result of this impact will be damage to the tissue under the fibula and tibia.

A blow to the outside of the knee.

This impact will cause the joint to move in an unnatural direction, bending inward, and cause ligament damage as well as a tear between the bones of the joint. Additionally, a strong blow can damage the main peroneal nerve, causing severe pain.

A blow to the inside of the knee.

This impact will cause the leg to bend outward and damage the ligaments and tendons around the kneecap. The best angle to strike is a sharp downward angle towards the back.

>

Before you start working with these points, it would be nice to master, this will help you this one is not complicated and effective video well. Especially for you, it contains all the knowledge and experience of more than one boxer, which will teach you to protect yourself and your loved ones.

Working with levers and grips is very effective techniques street fighting, but they require much more time and preparation in order for you to use them in battle. The so-called hand-to-hand combat is most often practiced in military structures; it allows you to neutralize the enemy by using his own forces.

The main levers of pressure are the joints. Elbows, shoulders, hand and fingers. You must be prepared to grab the attacking person by one of these levers and twist him into an unnatural position; the enemy will not be able to resist the pain and therefore his body will follow the inertia of where you throw it.

If you like this technique That the best way Of course, learning it will involve working with a trainer, but if you don’t have such an opportunity, then take a couple of techniques and practice them with a friend.

The simplest and most practical are hand and elbow grips.

1. When you receive a direct blow, grab your hand with two or one hand and bend it upward; when the person goes down by inertia, you can immediately finish him off with a knee to the head.

2. From a side blow, you can bend down, grab the attacking hand by the wrist and take the elbow. By bending your opponent, you can also finish him off active points knees, for example on the liver or kidneys.

Also, don’t forget that in order to deliver a strong painful blow, you must be in good shape, so don’t forget or just . You will need to spend hours on the sports ground or in the gym, just make a simple schedule of classes for the week and do it regularly.

And if you like knees and elbows, then you should think about padding them, as you must be prepared for the fact that you may miss the target. And in general, stuffing is useful for a non-growing organism. Start with light blows on soft surfaces and gradually increase the impact force and the hardness of the surface you hit.

Choose more for yourself suitable technique, sharpen it regularly and you will have no equal.

Topic 5 Anatomy of human pain (vulnerable) points

Anatomy of human pain (vulnerable) points

In a street fight, where only victory is important, the “correct” technique is only one that resulted in the defeat of the enemy. The easiest way to incapacitate an enemy is by acting on his pain points (nerve centers located close to the surface of the body, vital organs, exposed bones, tendon ligaments, etc.). Exposure to them causes severe pain, loss of consciousness and even death. There are up to 70 pain points on the human body. However, a third of them are in conditions temperate climate fairly well covered by clothing. When choosing affected areas, you need to consider the following:

a) what places of the enemy are open to attack (i.e. not covered with thick clothing);

b) where you can reach with your feet and hands (taking into account the height and build of the criminal, relative position in space);

c) do you have weapons or improvised objects (knife, stick, stone).

However, you don't need the death of the criminal. The main thing is that he cannot cause harm - strangle, stab, etc. And this only guarantees loss of consciousness or severe painful shock. Most vulnerabilities in this sense can be grouped as follows:

– Lower body: instep, shin, knee, thigh muscles, groin;

– middle part bodies: solar plexus, liver, fingers;

– Top part bodies: throat, lower jaw, nose, eyes, ears.

Table 1–4 provides a more detailed classification of human vulnerabilities. For convenience, vulnerable points are highlighted in color (Fig. 6).

Rice. 6. Human vulnerable points.

In red The most vulnerable points of a person are highlighted; a weak blow to which is equivalent to a strong blow to the blackheads (Table 1). And a strong blow to them can kill a person or permanently or permanently injure him (leave him disabled).

Table 1

Blue. Hitting these points is no less effective than hitting the red ones, but requires certain skills and good knowledge of anatomy (Table 2). It is difficult to achieve a lethal outcome, but it can cause serious injury.

table 2

Yellow. A strong blow to these points, as a rule, leads the enemy to loss of consciousness (Table 3). But it requires certain skills and a good knowledge of anatomy.

Table 3

Green points are highlighted that need to be hit hard and accurately in order to incapacitate the enemy (Table 4). They require certain skills and good knowledge of anatomy. Weak and inaccurate strikes are ineffective.

Table 4

Black Points are highlighted that need to be hit accurately, hard and sharply, having some skills. But even this does not incapacitate the enemy, but only causes acute pain. Nevertheless, knowing them will not be superfluous and may come in handy someday. Pressing on some points with your fingers (pinching, etc.) is sometimes more effective than hitting.

22. – collarbone (pressure)

23. – armpit (pressure)

24. – shin

25. – raising the foot

26. – brush between the large and index finger(pressure)

27. – back of the elbow (pressure)

28. – coccyx

29. – back of the thigh

30. – popliteal fossa

31. – calf muscle

32. – Achilles tendon (pressure)

In battle, the following situation may arise: you strike a painful point, but the enemy will not even react. This does not mean that this pain point does not exist or does not work. It’s just that all people are different, and if some pain point did not work in a particular case, then, without hesitation, immediately hit another one. Remember that no matter how trained your opponent is, he will always have at least two painful points - the eyes and the groin.

Human pain points were often mentioned in the media. For example, in Star Trek, Spock uses a technique of pressing on the base of his opponent's neck to eliminate him. Authors and fans explain that such a technique should block the flow of blood through the vessels, so that blood should not enter the brain. This should be the cause of loss of consciousness. From a scientific point of view, this is, of course, impossible. However, it becomes unpleasant and painful for a person when someone rubs his temples too intensely or puts too much pressure on the neck muscles located next to the jaw.

What are pain points?

This certain places on the human body, the impact of which causes pain and discomfort. Moreover, they are called points only because of the nature of the impact on them. Their origin and structure are not known for certain. One version is that in this place the nerve endings are closer to the skin than usual, but the hypothesis has not been proven. Complicating research in this area is the subjectivity of each person’s sensations, differences in the location of such points on the bodies different people.

Where are they located?

All pain points on the human body can be divided into three main groups. Heads:

• eyes;
• whiskey;
• lips;
• chin.

• solar plexus;
• armpits;
• kidneys;
• false rib.

• knees;
• ankles;
• shin;
• foot.

Also, pain points vary in their soreness. Modern method impacts on them are divided into 5 groups:

1. The first level is the weakest. A strike at such a point does not harm the opponent and can only serve as a distraction.
2. The second level - has a stronger effect than the first, but also does not cause significant harm to the attacker.
3. The third level can already harm the opponent. When hitting points of this level, you can stun the enemy or numb his limbs.
4. The fourth level - impact on the points of this level can lead to serious consequences: injuries, loss of consciousness and even paralysis.
5. Fifth level - impact on such points can be fatal.

It is important that influencing points of the fourth and fifth levels is recommended only in extreme cases that threaten your life.

From a scientific point of view

In movies, we see how pressing on certain parts of the body can incapacitate or even kill a person, but is this scientifically true? There are many misconceptions around pain points. What is it really? Is it helpful to put pressure on them? In fact, pain points on the body can either hurt if you hit them, or they can help if you massage them. Can a blow to a painful point lead to death? The answer to this question is not known.

History and application in martial arts

Despite the fact that science has not proven the existence of pressure points, people have long used them in hand-to-hand combat. The first mention of the use of such a technique goes back to martial arts Japan. It is associated with the name Minamoto Yoshimitsu, Japanese samurai, who lived in 1045-1127. It is believed that he was the first to use pressure points in combat. Minamoto examined the bodies of dead rivals. He sought to understand the structure and location of pressure points and how to properly influence them to cause pain or even death. Of course, mastering this technique took many years, because not everyone knows where and at what angle to hit, when and how to hit the nerve.

However, pressure points were used not only as a way to harm a person. They were actively used in Chinese medicine. The Chinese believed that "meridional points" were places through which life energy passed. Acupuncture is a technique of influencing such points to achieve balance with your body, improve blood and lymph circulation, and increase metabolic rate.

Although critics consider acupuncture to be an unscientific practice, a 2006 study found that it helps reduce lower back pain. Also, massage of special points of the body can help with headaches caused by stress, jaw clenching and nervous tension in body. For example, rubbing your temples, the bottom of your neck, or even the area between your index finger and thumb can ease a headache.

"Death Strike"

The most mysterious and fascinating use of pressure points is the death blow technique or dim mak.

She is known as different names in Japan, is considered the "evil twin" of acupuncture. The idea behind this technique is that energy flows through specific lines (meridians) in the human body, so pressure on certain points on such lines can lead to paralysis or death.

Some martial arts experts claim that if used correctly, this technique can lead to “delayed” death. That is, pressure on an artery or meridian can lead to damage internal organs and death after 1-2 days. Others claim that dim mak causes instant death if the correct pressure is applied to the carotid artery or other important places in the human body. For example, it is believed that a blow to the solar plexus can disrupt the functioning of the carotid artery and, as a result, disrupt blood circulation in the brain.

There are no scientific evidence that dim mak works and even more so leads to death. However, it is fair to say that some fighting techniques (a strong blow to the temple, blocking the airways, and others) can lead to malaise, lack of oxygen, loss of consciousness and (in severe cases) death.

This usually occurs due to loss of oxygen or severe brain damage rather than pressure on pressure points on the person's body. All this calls into question whether such a technique even existed among the samurai. More research is needed to understand the true functions of such points and learn how to use them in combat as well as in medicine.

Pain points: where to hit in self-defense

Now let's look at several of these points in more detail. Despite the fact that the existence of pain points on the body has not been proven, the effect on sensitive areas human body can help a lot with street fight, attack by hooligans and the like. Where to hit?

1. The pharynx is a depression in the front lower part of the neck. On impact, it may cause suffocation and lung spasms. You can also use the finger poking method.
2. Solar plexus - a punch causes searing pain and makes a person double over.
3. Abdomen, groin and kidneys - when struck with the edge of the palm or with a fist, it causes burning pain and sometimes nervous shock.
4. Knees - a blow with a boot under the kneecap will immobilize the enemy.

It is necessary to use techniques only for self-defense.
