what are the human body weak/sensitive parts ?

[still learning]

Hello, All those areas can be consider weak and sensitive parts to strike..this is good. To me the weakest part is our brain(head), human get so sensitive,that we want to fight? Hardest thing to train is the MIND!

It is easy to lie,cheat, and steal. But to be truthful ,trustworthy, and honest..that takes hard work and a strong mind! To be a good person..take a lot affort in todays world. Make your mind strong! against all attacks!

What are the human body weak/sensitive parts...? Could it be the minds?

In my mind, I see nothing but Aloha!

Hi,

As Big Nick pointed out, the collar bone, which is connected to the weakest Joint in the body I have been told just recently by a weight trainer.

The Shoulder...Pretty interesting since we use it so much. When it is used in a correct mannner fine, but the minute you put it into a position it should not be in, pain and for long periods of time. Also hyperextending the knee can be very bad.

The simple strikes and such are pretty obvious, but a good shoulder lock will take um out for a long time if you are not careful.

Use good discretion when working with a partner, it is a way to learn, and relate to the pain, that you will be giving someone else, at a time hopefully you will never encounter or need to use.

I have been watching of late something I don't care for, it is trying to actually hurt and continue to dominate in a dojo by a bully when the Sensei is not around.

Today I overheard a few saying, "that guy sure likes to hurt you". Not good stay away and let them self-destruct.

Regards, Gary

any joint, any angle

Good call but just off the joint and in conective tissue is more effective again and for less power.

Also see between bones ( like metatarsals ( feet bones) or between the bones in an opponents wrist ) for an easy set up , or have a look at the interior space of the bone where tissue is less conditioned and more vulnerable..and now you're cavity striking

You might also want to have a look at an antomy chart relating to organ position and you can also see a whole new range of vulnerabilities and angles / strike types to get access to them .

btw : the throat is always good and if you can locate the carteroid art artery , great brush strike / press for a rear triangle choke , elbow / fist to under navel or between / under rib area > do a shoulder lock / hold to gain acces to his rear, execute your rear carteroid choke, stick a knee just off his spine and control his head with your non choking hand , and that my friend, is a good tech combo.

cheers

bTw : down from collar bone in the intercostal space / hollow / or even directly in the tissue above your underarm, is great elbow strike follow up from an opposite side block ( if your guard is already up )or same side strike from higher.

I have a chart for about 20 on the front and back... but how do you put pictures on a post?

Anyway I personally hate getting hit in a cross hip shot. Just in deep enough to catch the edge of the hip.
Are we talking pressure points/vital points/nerves also?

 

[5 hand swords]

i know that the eyes,throat and the male private part are some sensitive parts,but are there more weak/sensitive parts in the body.is there a diagram of these part?

You will need more than one diagram, but if you ask here only about hitting, not grasping or pressure points, the numbers are more limited.

Disable vs. Kill type considerations on some types of strikes as well, groin vs. temple etc.

certainly are....

if you want to post some pressure point charts for martial applications, a good url is avalable if you care to search at Earle Montaigues' web site ......... 5 hands is right though, in case I have three folders of 25-30-45 charts each.

otherwise select text on your page from the edit pulldown menu, copy or cut open your post reply page , click in the response square and click paste from the edit menu.

I obviously am computer illiterate... :idunno: I've been at this for half an hour, with more then one person giving me instructions. So here's a hyperlink instead. It's not very extensive, plus it's kind of obsolite with the other charts mentioned, but it works. By the way, I have no idea what it has to do with card throwing.

If you're aiming to take someone out of the running the throat's a good bet. There's also a nerve behind the jaw, hit the jaw back and slightly upward and they'll drop. You probably have to brake their jaw to hit the nerve. Not really practical without practice, not really practical to practice. Still it's worth knowing.
If you're just messing around there's one called the lung point. It's down from the ear and across from the armpit. You don't have to hit it very hard to get an affect and it gives a decent dead arm, plus if you get in a scrape you can hit it hard and it still works well.
There are many more, but everyone else seems to have mentioned the good stuff. Oh, well.

Nothing better than the good old groin.After that it varies from person to person.Hammerfist to the temple usually works, and the back has a lot of weak spots.

Actually, the groin isnt such a sure shot. I've heard a lot of anecdotal evidence from people who have either taken or delivered a shot to the nuts and not really suffered from it until later.

Now sure, a solid blow to the cajones is going to hurt, but dont pin your hopes on it being a fight-stopper. If you are going to use it, make sure you are using it as a set-up for further attacks.

Any muscle based target area can also be risky. An obese, or heavily muscled opponent will not feel it as much as a regular person. I've found the sternum to be a good one, as is the clavicle, since there are no muscles over them and it is very hard to build fat there. It all depends on what is available to you.

 

[Kenpodoc]

For most the ego is the weakest part. :ultracool

Jeff

As to the clavicle, its a good target but I've seen a lot of fractures and I've never seen a torn subcalvian artery. The artery is tough and mobile so hard to lacerate.

 

[KenpoTess]

good point Kenpodoc

There can be generalizations of weak areas... but methinks everyone is individualized as to their own bodily structure. Some can handle a pummeling to the 'bread basket' and others not.. some have 'glass jaws', all dependant on their own conditioning, etc. Also depends on their psyche..and or their pain tolerance level. I've seen guys go down when they receive a :btg: others don't even blink, just get ticked off. Some females will burst into tears when struck to the breast... and others shake it off and charge in.
So to me, the really only true vulnerable sites applicable to all people would be the eyes and airway.

just my thoughts

did yoiu know that on the street , as far as law is concerned that you are often ( particularly as maers) if it came to court, not justified to strike any vitals nor on the torso??

Below is the standard table of appriorate force as per a legally defined reasonable mind.

INJURY POTENTIAL ATTACKER/ SUBJECT INJURY POTENTIAL when self acting in lawful defence defence
Deadly force assaults Deadly force
( WEAPONS) =
Active aggression intermediate weapons ( empty hand strikes) ( sticks /batons etc / non- deadly striking )


Defensive Resistence Hard empty hand techs
( active lock / hold resistence)
=Passive soft empty hand Resistence (locks/submission holds /non -vital point manipulationetc)
( protest etc)

Verbal non-compliance Verbal direction
=Phsycological intimidation presence

( uniforms/ bigger size etc)


Btw : don't forget your right to remain silent and your citizens arrests. Enough street defence.

Actually, the groin isnt such a sure shot. I've heard a lot of anecdotal evidence from people who have either taken or delivered a shot to the nuts and not really suffered from it until later.

my instructor and I ran a seminar for female self defence a few years ago where he demonstrated the effectiveness, or should i say ineffectiveness of a solid kick to the groin, he had the female kick direct and as hard as she could into his groin, (no stopping or thigh checking from him either) he then proceeded to take her to the ground, mount her and punch the floor padding beside her head a good 10 times before keeling over from the pain.

obviously the kick did work (he said he went purple the next day and couldnt walk properly for a good few days) but there was a delay before he could not function any longer.

for females attacks need to be precise and downing in one, a shot in the groin is going to be effective, but more likely than not the lad will be angered and knock you out before being downed. then once he comes round from the pain he is going to do whatever he wants to and hes going to be super angry..

If I may, what is the source for these legal definitions? We need to bear in mind that use of force laws vary between jurisdictions.

Another important thing to note is that in the application of law to a specific event, intent is a huge factor. If I were, as a martial artist in a necessary self defence scenario, to strike someone in a vital spot and cause significant damage, and this was determined to be an undue use of force, intent to cause damage needs to be demonstrated in order for me to be culpable.

 

[KenpoTess]

My question .. is what does it have to do with the topic of the thread...

 

[Blooming Lotus]

Sure :

qld criminal code / weapons act self defence

power to arrest section 546

laws do vary very slightly from state to state, and country to country, but as a general rule of thumb, sound standards to follow

[GaryM]

I have a few thoughts (theories?) about groin strikes and eye strikes. I find that a 'light' flick of a snap kick tends to have more reliable results when applied to the gonads than a real power kick. I believe that this is because the powerful strike triggers shock and thereby can nullify the immediate effectivness of the strike, hence the attacker can continue to fight thru the pain using rage and adrenalin. However a straight thrusting kick to the groin area should be very powerful using the 'ball' of the foot since the intended effects are different than targeting the jewels where a rising
toe or instep kick is better. Same thing for an eye strike. A scrape or relativly light poke will have as much effect on your opponents ability to fight and the damage isn't permanant, whereas actually "poking someones' eye out" may not FEEL much different to them than a hard punch . One spot that hasn't been mentioned is just in front of the ear over the jaw hinge. A snapping backknuckle to this spot (same motion as snapping a towel in the locker room) disconnects the brain for a second. Only for a second, but if you assume this will happen and don't stand there staring to see if it worked the fight should be yours. I have personally used this more than once and the persons eyes actually 'googled' in different directions. Really! (no warrenty expressed or implied, individual results may vary, product enlarged to show texture)

 

[OUMoose]

I agree with Gary about a snapping motion toward the eyes. Gouges, even in self-defense, would be hard to hold up in court realistically IMO. The nose is also a good target. No, I'm not talking about the hollywood "Break his nose and shove it to his brain" thing, but a stiff palm strike or closed fist to the nose will be a strong deterrant. The natural reaction there is for the eyes to start tearing up (obsurcing vision) and most likely for the nose to start bleeding (breathing difficulties). In this instance, pain isn't the objective really. (sorry if this was covered, but I was only able to skim the thread).

Another area for sensitivity is the neck. I'm not just talking the front (windpipe and major veins), but the sides and back as well. I don't know many people who could take a stiff forearm shot to the side of the neck, and those that could would not be as functional with that side of their torso for a few minutes.

Just tossing in my 2cents.

 

[Blooming Lotus]

yah but how do justfiy a neck strike of almost any kind in court??? I did see an extremely well executed murder of a patron in a Melbourne casino by some security, and through the same strike and holds described above ( Peter someone) , but the security guards responsible knew they were on camera and where they were so hid it all to the point of "reasonable doubt".

What do you say about that??? They were never charged and the security industry still recieves bad rep from the incident. Private establishment standards and laws of training their security staff ha ( or apparent lack of need for them)



Anyway, on the nose strike, there is a point below nose ( infra orbital) on the shaft when applied with a blade press hurts like hell!!! It won't kill a person but I've seen some big men near tears when having it applied to them. There is a point that is more criplling ( temporarily and ungreiviously) just below the ear (mandibular angles ) at the base of the ear lobebwetween the mastoid and the mandible. Pressure should be applied with a thumb over fist directed inwards utilising the digital tip. works well in a combo lock with the above infra orbital to form what we call the "C Clamp".

How do you justifiy anything in court??? Again, he was not talking about a strike to the throat, but to the side or back of the neck. If you kicked someone, you could break a rib. You're going to have to justify everything that you do..period!!! Its important to know the laws of the city/state that you live, as well as use the proper amount of force according to the situation at hand.
