A Sensei Once Told Me

the best pressure point to strike is his balls ALWAYS

As a former NYPD Officer I used pressure points extensively to control the mutts I dealt with. No civilian complaints and no bruises ! Nothing learned in Police Academy but prior Martial Arts training was key. Sgt always wanted me on scene as I could calm and control a much larger guy without using a baton or pepper spray. Kept his friends and activists from thinking the worst.

No bro, you did it all wrong, you had to go to the BALLZ! =)

Wait people use pressure points outside of wrestling with a girlfriend?

No seriously though I could not imagine attempting a pressure point on another man at all, let alone in an actual fight.

In filipino martial arts we have something called “gunting”, which comes from cutting with knives. These moves are additional strikes when blocking and hitting, usually going for muscles. If we hit a nerve point its a bonus, but its not needed. If we have something in our hands we can use the same principles, so most handheld objects become weapons.[/quote]

That is something that has gone over the top of most peoples heads on this board. But that is how I was taught too. First we would learn how to use these various targets with our bare hands and feet. Then when we moved on to weapons we would use the same targets areas and even the same angles of attack.
