Elbow lock by pressing against the body (Fig. 3–18)

The opponent's elbow can be locked by pressing it against the fighter's body. To do this, the fighter turns his body so as to put his elbow in a position in which it will not be able to move. In this position, the opponent's elbow can be easily broken.

Rice. 3–18

Elbow lever over knee (Fig. 3–19)

During a ground fight, a fighter can gain control of the situation if he is able to use elbow leverage against his opponent. A fighter can use his knee as a fulcrum to control the opponent and, with further resistance, can break his arm at the elbow.

Rice. 3–19

Elbow lever over the shoulder (Fig. 3–20)

This technique can be performed by leveraging the elbow joint over the shoulder while applying pressure to the wrist.

Rice. 3–20

Shoulder dislocation (Fig. 3–21)

In the process of maneuvering in hand-to-hand combat, when the opponent begins to strike with his hand, the fighter can take a position from which he can dislocate the opponent's shoulder (item 1). The fighter moves in and places his other hand behind the punching hand's fist. (pos. 2). He strikes down into the opponent's elbow to create a bend, and with a further movement twists shoulder joint, and thus the enemy is out of action (pos. 3).

Rice. 3–21

Shoulder dislocation with straight arm (Fig. 3–22)

A fighter can also injure (dislocate) an opponent's shoulder by keeping his elbow straight and raising his arm approximately 45°. Arching the wrist toward the elbow helps lock the elbow.

This impact forces the opponent to lower his head down, which makes it possible to strike with a knee to the face.

Rice. 3–22

Being captured (item 1), the fighter puts his hand into the crook of the opponent's elbow and grabs his hand (pos. 2). When pressing on the opponent's elbow (pos. 3) the shoulder will be dislocated and the opponent will lose balance.

Rice. 3–23

May be attacked knee joint enemy. The attack shown in the figure can lead to damage to the knee: dislocation or fracture of the bones that form the joint.

(there is no figure in the original text)

In mid-range combat, two opponents are within enough contact to hit each other with short punches, elbows, and knees. The fighter uses his peripheral vision to evaluate the goal. He must be aggressive and concentrate his attack on vital points on the opponent's body in order to end the fight as quickly as possible.

From the point of view of injury from blows, the human body can be divided into three zones (pos. A): top, middle and bottom. Each affected area contains vital, or vulnerable, points (pos. A, B)– places on the human body that are most sensitive to shock.

Rice. 4.1. Vulnerable points of the human body: 1 – crown; 2 – forehead; 3 – temple; 4 – eyes; 5 – ears; 6 – nose; 7 – labial groove; 8 – jaw; 9 – chin; 10 – postauricular area; 11 – base of the skull; 12 – throat; 13 – interclavicular cavity (“fossa”); 14 – neck; 15 – side of the neck; 16 – anterior brachial muscle; 17 – shoulder joint; 18 – collarbone; 19 – armpit; 20 – spine; 21 – nipples; 22 – heart; 23 – celiac plexus; 24 – diaphragm; 25 – floating ribs; 26 – kidneys; 27 – belly below the navel; 28 – biceps; 29 – muscle of the forearm; 30 – back sides of the hands; 31 – groin; 32 – outer side of the thigh; 33 – inner side hips; 34 – hamstring; 35 – knee; 36 – caviar; 37 – lower leg; 38 – Achilles tendon; 39 – ankle; 40 – rise

A strong blow to any part of the body causes sharp pain in a person. However, the severe pain that you cause in a dangerous enemy can only embitter him and not only will not weaken his warlike ardor, but, on the contrary, will give him strength. Therefore, blows should be delivered not just “to the body,” but to its vulnerable points - places, the defeat of which will incapacitate the enemy for at least a few seconds, which will allow you to immediately carry out a decisive attack. Such places include nerve nodes, large blood vessels, fragile bones, and joints. Their defeat will entail significant negative consequences for the enemy: painful shock, groggy state (short-term stun), loss of consciousness or death.

Knowledge of these places, the ability to hit them, the aggressiveness and confidence of your actions will ensure you victory over the enemy in hand-to-hand combat.

Master martial arts can, with a precise strike with one finger at a certain vulnerable point, reliably incapacitate an enemy or even kill him. However, to master such skill, special long-term training is required, which is not carried out in the GRU special forces. Therefore, in real hand-to-hand combat, a weak and accurate blow to a given vulnerable point with one finger, which is difficult to carry out in practice (which can be broken if the blow is unsuccessful), is replaced by a powerful blow with a fist or other striking surface (pos. C)“by area”, i.e. approximately by the place where this point is located. Thus, we can say that the inaccuracy of the blow to the “point” is compensated by its force, which is enough to hit the vulnerable point located in this place, falling under the striking surface. The location of vulnerable spots and the effect of striking them are presented below.

Upper zone. This zone includes the most life-threatening areas of injury - the head and neck.

1 – crown (top of head). In this place there is a connection of the cranial bones and the skull is weak. A significant blow to the top of the head causes injury resulting in loss of consciousness or hemorrhage, and a severe blow to this area can lead to death.

2 – forehead. A noticeable blow here can cause loss of consciousness; a strong blow can cause cerebral hemorrhage and death.

3 – temple. The skull bones at the temple are very weak. A strong blow to the temple can cause loss of consciousness and concussion. When the cephalic artery ruptures, the resulting severe hemorrhage compresses the brain, causing coma or death. A blow to the temple can be delivered with a knuckle index finger, the base of the fist, the phalanx bent thumb or elbow (if the opponent is short).

4 – eyes. A slight blow to the eyes with fingers causes uncontrollable lacrimation and blurred vision. A significant blow or poke may cause temporary blindness or severe eye damage.

5 – ears. The most effective is a simultaneous blow to the ears with “boats” - the palms of both hands, each of which is cupped. As a result, the enemy will experience painful shock, dizziness, and nausea. And since, in addition to the hearing organs, this zone also contains the vestibular apparatus, which is responsible for balance, as a result of the blow the enemy will lose orientation in space. A moderate blow to the ear can cause a concussion. With stronger exposure, the eardrums may burst, and internal hemorrhage in the brain may also occur, resulting in death.

A blow to one ear can be performed with the edge of the palm, the knuckles of the fist, the base of the fist, or the elbow.

6 – nose. Any blow can easily break the thin bones of the nose, causing extreme severe pain and lacrimation.

7 – philtrum , or the root of the nose (the place under the nose). A blow to a nerve that is close to the surface under the nose can cause severe pain and watery eyes.

8 – jaw. A blow to the jaw can break it. If the facial nerve is pinched by the lower jaw, one side of the face will be paralyzed.

9 – chin. A blow to the chin can cause paralysis, concussion and loss of consciousness. The main methods of defeat are: a punch from the bottom up, directly under the lower jaw (uppercut), an elbow strike from the side or from below, a short straight blow with the heel of the palm. The last blow is preferable to a punch, because if you hit the chin with a fist unsuccessfully, you can break your hand at the wrist joint.

10 – behind-the-ear area. A moderate blow to this area can cause loss of consciousness. A strong blow can cause a concussion or cerebral hemorrhage and death.

11 – skull base (back of the head). This is where the neck connects to the skull. A medium-force blow to this place with the edge of the palm, its base, fist, or elbow is accompanied by acute pain, loss of orientation, and semi-fainting. A strong blow displaces the cervical vertebrae, pinches or ruptures the spinal cord, which can lead to death.

12 – throat (Adam's apple, or Adam's apple). This place is hit with the edge of the palm or its base (if the enemy’s head is thrown back up). A slight blow causes severe pain and suffocation. Consciousness may remain, but the enemy will lose the ability to active actions for a period of time from fifteen seconds to a minute. More severe exposure results in profuse bleeding from the mouth, painful shock and loss of consciousness, or fracture of the thyroid cartilage, rupture of the windpipe, and death.

13 – interclavicular cavity (“hole”). It is located below the Adam's apple, between the collarbones. There are practically no muscles here, so even a weak blow injures the trachea, which is accompanied by severe coughing, lacrimation, and a feeling of suffocation. Strong exposure to this area causes throat bleeding, respiratory arrest, loss of consciousness and possible death. The blow to the interclavicular cavity is applied with the thumb.

14 – neck. A strong blow to the back of the neck can cause a rupture cervical regions spine, which completely paralyzes the enemy.

15 – side of the neck. This place is one of the best used to neutralize the enemy. A blow to the side of the neck causes muscle cramps and severe pain. As a result of even a weak blow with the edge or base of the palm, fist, or elbow, a person’s blood pressure drops, breathing becomes difficult, and orientation in space is disrupted. A stronger blow causes loss of consciousness as a result of damage to the carotid artery, jugular vein or vagus nerve.

For maximum effect the blow should be delivered below and slightly in front of the ear.

Middle zone. This zone extends from the shoulders to the top of the hips. Unlike the top zone, where any hard blow can be fatal, many hits to the mid zone are not fatal, but can have serious long-term complications ranging from external injuries to very serious injuries to internal organs and the spine.

16 – anterior brachial muscle. A large nerve ganglion passes in front of the shoulder joint. A significant blow to this area causes extreme pain and can disable the arm.

17 – shoulder joint . The anatomical features of this joint make it one of the most vulnerable places human body. A relatively weak but sharp blow to the shoulder from the front or back quite easily leads to a dislocation. A blow to the shoulder from above causes (depending on the force of the blow) acute pain, muscle numbness, ligament rupture or intramuscular bleeding.

18 – collarbone. A blow to the collarbone can break it, causing severe pain and disabling the arm on the side of the fracture. Even from a weak blow to the collarbone, a person experiences acute pain, and in order to break it, a blow of moderate force is required. The blow is delivered with the edge or base of the palm, the bottom of the fist, the head or the elbow. With a broken collarbone, the opponent will not be able to hit hard with his other hand, or even with his legs. With stronger impacts, the collarbone not only breaks, but is completely destroyed and injures the tops of the lungs, bronchi, and large blood vessels with its fragments.

19 – armpit. TO skin There are many nerve endings close to each armpit, and a blow to the armpit causes severe pain and partial paralysis of the affected arm. A stab in the armpit with a knife is fatal because it cuts the main artery leading to the heart.

20 – spine. Any blows to the spine with the edge and base of the palm, with a fist, and even more so with such powerful striking parts as the head, elbow, knee, foot, are extremely painful and very dangerous. With a weak blow, a person feels acute pain, short time depriving him of the ability to continue the fight. A strong blow to the spine can sever the spinal cord, leading to paralysis or death.

21 – nipples. There is a large nerve network in the nipple area. A blow here can cause extreme pain.

22 – heart. A moderate blow to the chest where the heart is located can stun the opponent and give the fighter time to continue the attack or end the move. This place is located just below the left nipple. With a strong blow to the heart area, it can stop, leading to instant death.

23 – celiac (solar) plexus. This place is the center of the nerve endings that control the cardiopulmonary system. It is located directly below the xiphoid process of the sternum. You can hit it with your elbow, knee, fist or heel of your hand. Hitting this area is painful and can impair the opponent's breathing. A relatively weak blow to the celiac plexus causes acute pain, temporary cessation of breathing, reflex inhibition of the heart, a drop in blood pressure and, as a consequence, semi-fainting. The person bends in half and loses the ability to move for one or two minutes. A strong blow here causes suffocation, loss of consciousness and can also damage internal organs. A strong blow directed from the bottom up can lead to death.

24 – diaphragm (lower chest). A blow to the lower ribs can cause the diaphragm and other muscles that control breathing to relax. This causes loss of breathing and can lead to loss of consciousness.

25 – floating ribs. Basic bones that give shape chest, are ribs, which are 24 long and narrow bones attached from the back to the spinal column. The seven pairs of upper ribs are called true ribs; these ribs articulate with the sternum using corresponding cartilage. The lower five pairs, or false ribs, do not articulate directly with the sternum, they are connected to each other by their cartilages, and the eleventh and twelfth pair of ribs are called floating or oscillating ribs, because they are free throughout their entire length. A blow to floating ribs can easily break them because they are not attached to the rib cage. Broken ribs on the right side can cause internal liver injury; Broken ribs on either side can cause lung damage. Strikes to the lower ribs can be delivered with anything: the knee, foot, elbow, fist, heel or edge of the palm.

26 – kidneys The kidney is a very sensitive organ. In addition, in the place where it is located, just under the skin of the back, a large nerve passes through - a branch from the spinal cord. Therefore, even a light blow to the kidney area is accompanied by acute pain. A moderate blow to the kidneys can cause shock and may cause internal damage to these organs. A severe blow to the kidneys causes instant shock and can cause death from severe internal bleeding.

Strikes to the kidney area can be made with both hands and feet, elbows, knees and head.

27 – belly below the navel. A strong blow to the area below the navel and above the groin can cause shock, loss of consciousness and internal bleeding.

28 – biceps. A hard blow to the biceps is very painful and disables the arm. The biceps is a particularly good target when the opponent is holding a weapon.

29 – forearm muscle. The radial nerve, which controls most of the motor functions of the arm, runs along the forearm. A strong blow to the radial nerve disables the arm. Thus, with a blow to the forearm, the enemy can be disarmed.

30 – the backs of the hands. The backs of the hands are very sensitive. A blow to them is very painful, and the small bones of the hand can easily be broken, thus disabling the arm.

Lower zone. The lower zone includes the entire area of ​​the human body below the groin. While hits to this area are rarely lethal, some can reliably incapacitate an opponent.

31 – groin. Even a moderate blow to the groin causes intense pain and can incapacitate the opponent. A strong blow to the groin can lead to loss of consciousness and shock. A blow to this place can be made with anything - the toe and instep of the foot, the heel, the knee, the fist, the rib and the base of the palm.

32 – outer thigh. A large nerve passes near the surface of the outer thigh (approximately four finger widths above the knee). Therefore, a strong blow to the outside of the thigh can disable the leg, knocking the opponent down. This target is particularly suitable for knee and shin strikes.

33 – inner thigh. In the middle inner thigh A large nerve runs along the bone. Accordingly, a blow to this area also disables the leg and can knock down the opponent. Knee and heel strikes are suitable for hitting this area.

34 – hamstring. A strong blow to the hamstring can cause muscle cramps and limit the mobility of the leg, up to the point where it completely shuts down.

35 – knee. Because the knee is the main structural element support of the entire body, then damage to this joint will especially hurt the opponent. The knee can be easily injured if it is attacked at an angle that is opposed to the normal direction of flexion of the joint. The knee is the best target for low level kicks. It is convenient to hit it from all sides, with any part of the foot, at any angle (top to bottom, bottom to top, horizontally).

Relatively weak blows to the knee cause severe pain. A moderate blow from behind (in the popliteal fold) is also accompanied by acute pain and partial destruction of the joint. A stronger impact leads to rupture of the knee ligaments, fragmentation of cartilage, dislocation or fracture of the bones that form the articular joint.

36 – caviar (back of the leg). A strong blow to the top of the calf causes painful muscle cramps and limits the mobility of the leg.

37 – shin. A moderate blow to the shin causes severe pain, especially when struck by a hard object. The fibula and tibia located here are almost not covered by muscles, so the pain from a blow to them permeates the entire body. The shin can be attacked either internally or outside feet (with the hard edge of your shoes). It is also possible to strike with the heel (heel) and sole. A blow of moderate force entails a painful shock up to loss of consciousness, a crack or fracture of the bone. A strong blow can break the shin bone, which supports most of the body's weight. The direction of blows to the shin is mainly from the front or the side. An attack from behind on a leg that is currently under body weight can cause temporary paralysis. calf muscle.

38 – Achilles tendon. A strong heel strike to the Achilles tendon can cause ankle sprains and leg sprains. And if the tendon is torn, the enemy is incapacitated. The Achilles tendon is a good target for a knife attack.

39 – ankle. Hitting your ankle hurts; with a strong blow, the ankle can be sprained or broken, thus depriving the opponent of mobility.

40 – rise. A high kick will also impede the opponent's mobility. Relatively weak blows to the ankle joint cause acute pain and deprive the opponent of the ability to actively use the leg. A stronger impact leads to the destruction of the small bones of the foot, causing a crack or fracture of the lower end of the tibia (small or large, depending on which side the blow is applied from). A strong blow from behind at the level of the instep can rupture the Achilles tendon.

Effectively striking the enemy's vital points is essential for a winning result in hand-to-hand combat. A fighter must be able to use the principles of maximum effective striking if he is to fight to the death in a fight.

Punch to the celiac plexus (Fig. 4-2)

A fighter uses a punch to the celiac plexus in close combat, when the enemy rushes forward and tries to grab him. The fighter can then follow up the attack with a knee to the groin or use other incapacitating strikes to vital points.

Rice. 4–2

Throat strike with thumb (Figure 4-3)

The thumb strike to the throat is a very effective technique when the opponent is rushing forward or trying to grab the fighter. He throws his right fist forward with his thumb extended in the form of a beak and hits the enemy in the larynx area, holding left hand raised for protection.

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. I mean you can substitute yours big muscles under attack if there is no time for full protection. 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 position of strength versus weakness, 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 points, 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:

1. Every person has the same vulnerabilities.
2. Pain points cannot be trained and they are equally affected in any person.
3. Use your strength against your opponent's weakness, and weak points are that same weakness. This is the principle of concentrating strength against weakness.
4. Attack the nearest vulnerable points.
5. Strike accurately.
6. Attack the most vulnerable parts of the body first.
7. 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.
8. The second points of attack are: eyes, throat, groin, knees, legs,
9. The strongest blow is to the weakest and most unprotected place.
10. Circulatory system disorder
11. Damage to the nervous system
12. Respiratory system damage
13. 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.
14. Next, strike as hard as possible.
15. A fatal blow is a blow after which the enemy has no way to resist; in real combat, this is like death.
16. 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.
17. 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.

1. 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 thoroughly, towards the ground.
2. Top of the head - blow from above with a blunt object. It could also be a fist. But we strike from above
3. 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.
4. upper part of the skull - blow from above with a blunt object
5. 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.
6. temporal artery A light blow with a knife to the temporal artery can cause heavy bleeding.
7. temporal bone or temple - a classic blow from the side with a fist or the heel of the hand (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.
8. 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.
9. 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. That's it. A simple bite on the earlobe.
10. Eardrum - you can poke something like a pen or hairpin directly into the ear hole. Stunning blow from two palms to the ears.
11. Points behind the ears. point under the ears - just under the earlobe there is a very painful point; if you get the chance, poke it. Press on two points at the back. It's just a disgusting feeling.
12. brow ridges and bones around the eyes - a good blow 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.
13. 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
14. point between eyes - effective the point of destruction, but unfortunately it is difficult to be vulnerable in a real battle.
15. 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.
16. point under the nose. An excellent place for both a striking attack and for influence that involves control (for example throws)
17. nostrils - if necessary, you can stick two fingers in and pull. Like hooks.
18. 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.
19. upper lip A blow to the teeth can cut the upper lip, as well as the lower one.
20. cheek - you can slap the cheek to cool the ardor. And also grab with your fingers from the inside or outside for control.
21. lower lip. It can also be cut by a blow to the teeth.
22. 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.
23. 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.
24. . 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.
25. Attacks with a blow to the chin. May be knocked out or even broken
26. point under the chin. Hit with fingers or some sharp object.
27. 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.
28. Adam's apple (Adam's apple). an excellent target to launch an attack on.
29. point under the Adam's apple, poking with closed fingers can cause suffocation.
30. 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.
31. 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.
32. 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.
33. the depression between the collarbones is a blow with clenched fingers. At the point between the collarbones. Will cause breath holding.
34. 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 the manuals hand-to-hand combat this point is called precisely the jugular artery, which is somewhat incorrect.
35. ribs Hitting the ribs is very painful. They can also cause rib fractures.
36. 11th and 12th ribs - they are not fixed as rigidly as other ribs, and therefore are called floating. Easily broken by a powerful blow.
37. short processes of the lower ribs in front
38. 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.
39. wrist (wrist joint) – used for creases. Like one of the weak joints of the hand.
40. forearm
41. ligament: shoulder joint - elbow joint, wrist joint - hand - fingers. The main purpose for performing painful holds on the arm, creases, bends, holds.
42. elbow, a blow to the very tip of the elbow with a baton can completely paralyze the entire arm.
43. elbow joint
44. point above the elbow
45. biceps. This will of course require a strong blow, but it can disable the hand.
46. triceps - you need a strong enough blow that can disable the arm.
47. the point between bc/tc/delta - a good powerful blow can take the hand out of the fight.
48. axillary artery. Quite difficult to be vulnerable. But knowledge can come in handy.
49. oxter
50. axilla
51. solar plexus - take your breath away. But I warn you, a rather strong blow is required here.
52. xiphoid process of the sternum (on the solar plexus)
53. a point just below the solar plexus and xiphoid process
54. heart. A powerful blow to the heart can cause it to stop.
55. liver
56. spleen

58. lower abdomen
59. . Testicles can be affected in different ways. Punch, squeeze the testicles, pull the testicles. The result will be amazing. In any case, take advantage of the surprise to continue and complete the attack.
60. hip joint kicks to the hip joint are effective, you can even knock it out if you're lucky. The point of application of force is in the front, from the groin. And you don't need to raise your legs high in order to deliver a devastating kick.
61. back of the thigh. A powerful side kick comes in. In general, a side kick to the back of the thigh is a classic start in the style of Kyokushinkai Karate and Muay Thai.
62. point under the kneecap
63. patella - striking the kneecap with the foot. This is a lifelong injury. With the shin, this is the fourth point to hit. The injury is not at all life-threatening
64. knee joint - blow to the side of the knee joint. The leg will simply slide into the knee joint on its own due to its bending.
65. back of the knee - blow to the side of the knee joint
66. The shin is an excellent target for direct kicks. Even a not very strong blow causes acute pain. And all because the shin is not protected by muscles at all and is just a bone.
67. ankle joint – attacks with the foot from above, trampling blows. It is also possible to have an impact during a prone fight, as well as sweeps.
68. arch of the foot. You can step on. Women - heels or better stilettos.
69. toes. Trampling kick.
70. sections of the spine (in detail the most vulnerable places) (here, in principle, the spine itself. But the 2nd cervical, 7th thoracic, coccyx, and the entire spinal column)
71. kidneys - a blow to the kidneys is very painful. Apply with your fist, foot, knee. Any part of the body as long as it is powerful enough. A classic blow to the kidneys with a knife.
72. lower ribs back
73. short ribs in back
74. tailbone - just a blow from below on the tailbone causes acute pain.
75. caviar. a blow to the base of the calf muscle can paralyze the leg. But you need an accurate blow, for example with the base of a boot. In principle, the entire area from the heel to the base of the calf muscle is suitable for a direct or side kick.
76. heel - a precise kick to the heel can cause acute pain.
77. 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. Therefore, 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 way live"

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.

By Fabiosa

In the world of martial arts, it is common to dream of a super move that no opponent can defend against. This technique will knock down any opponent, regardless of their training. And he will be a guardian angel for the one who owns it.

Many people believe that there are no such techniques. Allegedly, if they had existed, the one who mastered such a technique would have beaten everyone long ago. Others rightly say that such techniques are kept secret. They are opened after many years of preparation by the most dedicated students. Any master has several such secrets. And these are pain points.

Why do you, a civilian, need them, you ask? For self-defense. If you press with all your might on one or a couple of such points on the attacker’s body, you will be able to stand up for yourself.

We bring to your attention 12 pain points on the human body. We hope you never have to deal with those who want to harm you. But it’s better to know about them, isn’t it?

Strike in the eyes

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 with deep pressure, therefore 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, while saving your life, you should not worry about the health of the aggressor.

A blow or slap to the ears, neck area

There are many blood vessels and nerves running near the ears. A blow to the ears is not only very painful, but also damages the outer ear and eardrum.

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.

Hit to the Adam's apple or below

Any adult can, with an action directed at the throat, transfer his opponent to “another world”; it doesn’t require much force, just a 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.

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 plexus 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.

Hands

Human hands are dotted with many nerve endings. If you squeeze the area between your opponent's fingers tightly, he will high probability will lose his composure and loosen his grip.

A blow to the kidneys

The kidneys are located very close to the posterior wall of the abdominal cavity. From an anatomical point of view, the kidneys do not have protection in the form of ribs and are very vulnerable. When struck, severe pain occurs, kidney rupture and profuse bleeding are possible.

Impact to the stomach area

This place is located just below the sternum. Nearby are vital organs (heart, liver, stomach). This is where the largest concentration of nerves is located. There are no ribs in this area, so it is unprotected and a blow to it produces a very strong painful effect. Painful shock, difficulty breathing, stomach bleeding, interruptions in heart function, loss of consciousness - this is far from full list consequences of such a blow.

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.

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, as well as the sciatic nerve.

Impact to the tarsal bone

If the tarsal bone is damaged, it will not only be difficult for the opponent to walk, but even to stand. This great way self-defense against a major opponent. Attack him by actively "stepping" on his feet and trampling on them. Heels would be very appropriate here.

Translation and adaptation: Marketium

Everyone has pain points because we are all human and therefore we are all vulnerable. But finding these very points on our body does not mean anything, since, firstly, you need to know where they are, secondly, you need to know how to influence the point, and thirdly, you need to choose the moment to strike. On the blog, we previously discussed some pain points, such as the Adam's apple, groin, solar plexus, but these are not all areas of our body, by acting on which we can quickly incapacitate an opponent.

Pain points

A blow to the ears

A blow to the ear with a fist will not have the same effect as a simultaneous blow to the ears with palms gathered in a boat. We fold our palms into a boat and hit them on the ears. The effect will depend on the force and technique of the blow: shock, damage to the eardrums or internal bleeding.

A blow to the temple area

In the temporal region there is a bone called the sphenoid, and a blow to this bone, to this part of the skull, can be fatal. The temporal bone, which is located a little further, is much stronger than the sphenoid. It is not difficult to hit the temple area even in the midst of a fight. This can be either a side punch or a punch. I'm not talking about kicks in certain conditions, or blows from foreign objects.

Effect on the eyes

Probably everyone knows that the eyes are a painful point, but not everyone knows how to influence this point. In a life-or-death battle, knowing the effects on the eyes can help. Firstly, this is ordinary pressure on the eyes with your thumbs, which is very unpleasant. If you try to hit the eyes with your index and middle finger, when your hand imitates a slingshot, then, most likely, you will cause harm to yourself, and not to the enemy. Yes, the enemy may get hurt to a certain extent, but this does not mean that your fingers will remain undamaged. A blow to the eye can be delivered by bending the first and second phalanges of the middle finger when the fist is clenched in this form. That is, we clench our fist, but raise our middle finger slightly up. This blow was discussed in the article “”. You can also hit the eye with your middle, index and ring fingers folded into a bun. We bend the middle finger so that the pads are in the same plane.

Punch in the nose

A good blow to the nose makes you “think about life,” but you can strike it in such a way that a person no longer has to think about life. Of course, it all depends on the strength of the blow, and the average person is unlikely to be able to carry out the blow, but still. Hitting from below with the heel of the palm (heel of the palm) can cause the nasal cartilage to go into the brain and that's it. Of course, like many other strikes, it simply won’t work without preparation.

A blow to the upper lip

The upper lip, and in particular the connection between the nasal cartilage and the skull, is a rather vulnerable place. In the area upper lip, the nerves are close to the surface. The blow must be delivered not with a fist, but with the edge of the palm, and as you may already understand, in top part lips, where the connection with cartilage is located. The blow must be struck at an angle, directing the blow upward diagonally. Even a not very strong blow causes pain, but a very strong one can lead to a concussion.

Punch to the chin

If we talk about a blow to the chin, then there are two options.

The first option is real, which many have tested in their own skin. The physics of a knockout is that the chin is a lever for rapid head movement. Due to this, the brain is displaced, hitting the skull, and as a result - short circuit, which is called a knockout.

The second option can be called mythical, which describes the effect on the nerve that comes out on the lower jaw. There will be no knockout from direct impact on the nerve; at most, there will be temporary numbness in certain areas.

These are not all the pain points. Let's continue.

A blow to the Adam's apple

Described in one of the articles. This kind of blow can be fatal due to suffocation, which is caused by swelling of the larynx. Such a blow can be applied either with the fork of the thumb and index finger, or with the edge of the palm and forearm. Naturally, a strike using striking techniques will be more powerful and dangerous. Just like other strikes, it’s not enough to just talk about it, and even knowledge of the technique does not mean that you will be able to carry it out in a real fight. As an option, start the fight with this blow and end it with it.

A blow to the lower part of the larynx

The point that is located at the very bottom of the throat, between the upper segments of the collarbones, in the fossa, is also a painful point. If you hit it, the opponent starts coughing and this causes an attack of suffocation. A blow to the lower part of the larynx can be carried out with correctly folded fingers. But the main thing here is not to miss, and to have prepared fingers.

Impact on the carotid artery

A blow to the carotid artery cannot be fatal if it is rapid. With prolonged compression of the carotid artery, death occurs. I would like to note that there are two of them - left and right. The blow should be delivered with the edge of the palm slightly closer to the vertical line of the ear. You can hit either from the shoulder, palm down, or palm up, depending on the situation.

Hit to the back of the head

A blow to the back of the head, depending on the force of the blow, can lead to various consequences. It is not necessary to hit very hard for a person to lose consciousness. Even the back of the head is sensitive, to say nothing of a serious blow. You can hit with either the edge of your palm or the sides of your fist. As an option, approach the enemy while taking a step, moving slightly to the side, and strike with the side of your fist from the side of the thumb. The strike can be carried out in different ways, depending on the situation.

Let's continue to look at the pain points.

Blow to the collarbone

A strong blow to the collarbone can break the bone. You can strike the collarbone with the edge of your palm, but a more effective strike with the elbow, which can be carried out by a person who does not know how to hit with his palms.

Hit to the solar plexus

I’ve already figured it out, but let’s look at it a little. Such a blow leads to difficulty breathing, practically making it impossible to breathe. The blow is delivered with a fist to the solar plexus area - the angle of branching of the lower ribs. A person bends down or kneels, which indicates his defeat.

Strike to the armpit area

A blow to the armpit area causes severe pain, since the nerve is located close to the surface. There are different ways to hit this area. To counterattack, you can punch, or, when the opponent is on the ground, kick in the armpit area.

Punch to the stomach

A blow to the stomach will deprive the enemy of strength, and a strong blow can cause internal bleeding. The effectiveness of the blow will depend on the person’s physical training, because it’s not for nothing that we were given the rectus and oblique abdominal muscles.

Kick to the groin

One of the most effective strikes is a strike to the crotch. Painful shock is guaranteed. The blow can be carried out with either the shin or the knee. Strikes with the elbow, forearm and edge of the palm are also possible. The enemy immediately leaves their formation, and you become the winner.

A blow to the kidneys

Above the kidneys there is a nerve that comes off the spine and is located close to the top, which leads to pain. And in itself, a blow to the kidneys is quite painful.

Hit the false ribs

Causes severe pain, including fractures and so on. Hit with your fist, elbow, knee, foot while wearing shoes.

Blow to the spine

You can’t just hit the spine; it requires the right conditions. When the opponent bends over after a blow, or when he tries to grab your legs. In this case there will be great opportunity for an elbow strike to the spinal column. In turn, a blow to the upper part of the spine can paralyze the upper limbs, and to the lower part - the lower limbs.

Knee hit

A blow to the side of the knee or to the kneecap is delivered with a heavy boot. After this, the opponent is not capable of full movements, as the tissues are damaged.

Kick to the ankle

The blow is delivered in heavy shoes on the outside of the ankle. You need to hit with the edge of the boot at an angle of approximately 60 degrees. The impact can cause a fracture.

Hit to the foot

A powerful blow is applied from above to the foot, which can lead to broken bones.

Pain point behind the ear

Behind the ear, near the junction, at the level of the lobe, there is a pressure point that can be used when gripping.

Nostril grab

This kind of grip is quite painful, which can help out in certain situations. You just need to stick two fingers into your opponent's nostrils and pull up.

Lower lip grip

Also sensitive grip. Using your index finger and thumb, create a fold on the lower lip and squeeze it as tightly as possible.

These are probably all the pain points that I wanted to talk about, but not all that exist.

Conclusion

Knowledge of theory does not mean that the capture will be successfully applied in practice. It takes many hours of practice to incorporate certain strikes and holds into practice.
