What are some weak points in the body you personally prefer to exploit, in sparring or a self-defense situation?
From experience, I never really target specific spots. When I am in the heat of the sparring match, I go for what's available and I am either trying to wind my opponent by hitting his solar plexus or lop his head off with a kick. I once got into an altercation where a class mate attempted to kick me in the balls in a changing room, and I instinctively caught his leg. I ended up attempting an oblique kick to his knee, purely out of instinct. Luckily, I missed and just pushed him back, and it ended. If I hadn't missed, I'd have probably crippled him.
I am attempting to compile a list of weak spots in the body I could aim to exploit. I am aware of the centre line points, as well as the liver; I am also aware that striking the forearms during a block can make an opponent's hand spasm. Are there any other spots to target?
Which ones have you exploited and how?
