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 affecting his pressure points (located close to the surface of the heat nerve centers, 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 in temperate climates are fairly well covered by clothing. When choosing affected areas, you need to consider the following:

a) what areas of the enemy are open to attack (i.e. not covered by 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 of the body: solar plexus, liver, fingers;

Upper 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. Swipe at 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. – axilla(pressure)

24. – shin

25. – raising the foot

26. – hand between thumb and index finger (pressure)

27. – rear end elbow (pressure)

28. – coccyx

29. – back of the thigh

30. – popliteal fossa

31. – calf muscle

32. – Achilles tendon (pressure)

Things can happen in battle next situation: You will hit the 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.

The subject of our conversation is as old and primitive as the method of destroying snowmen. Figuratively speaking, we will talk about eliminating the problem in the form of a single individual by damaging the latter with minimal physical effort on your part. F-phew! In more understandable language, we will help you quickly and without straining to force a person who is physically superior to you to abandon the idea of ​​​​suppressing you.

Let's start with the fact that, although we will present below the methods by which you can quickly disable the human body, you will still have to make some efforts. Let's take for granted the fact that your opponent is a physically more developed / armed person / not alone in his desire to inflict physical violence on you (underline as appropriate). Taking into account the difference in the physical preparation of readers, we will present options for influencing an opponent in ascending order muscle work required to achieve the desired effect. Simply put, if you already know how to fight at least, press Page Down 3 times; if it’s very good and mean, then 7 at once.


Newbie

The most vulnerable area of ​​most living creatures is the eyes. Man is no exception. One of the best ways plunge him into the abyss of suffering, abundantly washed with tears - strike him in the eyes. However, incorrect execution of this combat step can lead to the failure of the entire enterprise, on the one hand, and to the loss of your opponent’s eye, on the other. Agree, neither one nor the other is your goal. Best option striking - diagonally from bottom to top, with the palm facing you. In this situation, the upper covers of the eyeball and eyelids are guaranteed to suffer, but the eyes will not receive serious injuries.

Your target may also be your enemy’s nose. A direct hit to a person in this respiratory organ will in any case lead to short-term shock. However, if you strike from the bottom up with the heel of your palm, aiming for the point directly under the bridge of your nose, the shock will be much stronger. Our nose is designed in such a way that shock absorption occurs in a plane parallel to the ground, and it is extremely sensitive to impacts perpendicular to the ground. The headbutt to the nose, which is popular in cinema, should not be ignored. If a trained person hits an enemy on the bridge of the nose with the seat of his thoughts, this will lead to profuse bleeding, a possible broken nose, and in some cases, knockout. However, we recommend that you strike such a blow only if your hands are occupied with some important artifacts, and your feet are wearing snow-white slippers with Vladimir lace, which you under no circumstances want to get dirty on this scoundrel. That is, it’s better to forget about it, unless, of course, your goal is a self-knockout, which will allow you to erase the shameful moments of your defeat from your memory. As an attentive reader, you have already noticed that the phrase “bottom up” has been repeated twice already. And this is not at all accidental. The vast majority of blows designed to instantly kill a person are delivered precisely along this vector, since it allows you to strike unnoticed and with force sufficient to achieve your misanthropic goal. This is why we are afraid of children and petite women.

When we started talking about vulnerable parts of the human body, you certainly immediately thought about this. Groin area and the testicles contained in it have always been a target for blows precisely because of their paradoxical sensitivity to meeting the shoes of other people. Oddly enough, one of the most important organs is the only one that is not protected by either bones or muscles. Due to the need for special storage conditions, the male gonads are forced to be in a vulnerable position. A precise kick with your toe into the treasured area will give you an undeniable advantage in the emerging discussion. In principle, this way of eliminating a person is the simplest and most effective. Its only drawback is its ethical side. We are of the opinion that resorting to this secret weapon should only be done in extreme cases when you are really in danger.

Amateur

Continuing our bloodthirsty narrative, let’s move on to the next cluster of areas of the human body (we’ve been wanting to write the word “cluster” for a long time). Impact on these organs will require more from you high level physical training and general skill in this matter. Remembering all the people you have seen, you will undoubtedly notice that in addition to the nose and eyes, which we have already written about, ears grow on the head of any self-respecting person, which can also be a target for your crushing blows. A correct, accurate and strong blow to both ears at the same time can lead to rupture of the eardrums, bleeding in the ear, throat and nose, and loss of consciousness.

In his book “Secrets of the Martial Arts of the World,” J. Gilbey talks about the Soviet wrestler Slimanski, who for a long time was an employee of the state security agencies, but after the Hungarian events of 1956 he emigrated to the USA. This person describes hitting the ears with cupped palms, with all fingers pressed tightly together. As a result of such a blow, a person receives injuries to the middle ear and becomes disoriented in space. The creator of the famous combat dagger, William Ewart Fairbairn, also studied similar blows during World War II. It was considered the height of skill to sneak up on a sentry from behind and hit him on the ears, causing damage and stunning him. Returning from the legends about super-intelligence officers to harsh reality, we can say that a blow to the ear, even just one, in any case will give a person a lot of sensations. We must try to strike in such a way that auricle it was the palm. In this situation, even if it is not possible to stun the enemy or incapacitate him, severe pain from a bruised ear cartilage and the blow itself to a sensitive area will give you two ways of developing events: finishing off your opponent by all means known to you or hastily disappearing from the scene. To maintain your optimistic mood, option number three, when a two-meter aggressor looks at you in bewilderment, scratching your ear, and proceeds to your gradual destruction, is not considered.

As you continue to study the human head, you suddenly learn that the thickness of the skull is different in all its parts. On average it is 5 millimeters, and in the most protected place, in the frontal part - up to a centimeter. In the temples, the bone is only 1–2 millimeters thick. Also located under the temple is the artery of the brain membrane. As you have already understood, this area is extremely vulnerable to attacks. If such a thing happens in life that you decide to knock out the enemy with a blow to the temple, you need to do this wisely if you don’t want to hear the phrase “exceeding necessary measures self-defense" and "sushi crackers". The smart thing to do in this situation is to strike with the palm rather than the bones of the fist. You shouldn’t be overzealous with the heel of your palm: this option can also become fatal, because even if you fail to knock out a person, the palm will land in such a way that the blow will spread to the eye, and this is already - double strike. Combo!

Truly, the head is a unique collection of points at which you can direct your rage, manifesting it in the form of merciless fists. Just when you thought you knew everything about the impact of force on the human skull, we pull out another trump card from our sleeve - the jaw. Bottom. No, not inserted. Hitting your opponent's jaw will require sharpness, accuracy, correct trajectory and a clenched fist. With the right combination of all factors, you will get a knockout. That is, your opponent will get a knockout, and you will get incredibly increased confidence in your abilities. Your blow doesn't have to be super strong. A knockout occurs not so much from the force of the blow, but from its speed and sharpness. The brain, located in the skull in fluid, is very sensitive to touches against the walls of the skull. A blow to the jaw, delivered from the bottom up, directly or diagonally to the vertical axis, will cause the head to make a sharp jerk. The brain, obeying the laws of physics, will hit the walls of the skull, which will cause its partial short-term shutdown, that is, knockout. It is extremely undesirable to carry out a direct blow to the jaw, since the person has teeth. It would seem that this fact does not relate to the subject of our conversation, but your opinion will change the moment you miss the jaw and hit your teeth with your fist. Injuries to the hand received in such a situation are very dangerous, since, being in places of bend, they take an extremely long time to heal. Damage to the periosteum is also possible. Such injuries are often accompanied by inflammation, infections that tend to get into the bone, suppuration, gangrene, amputation, apocalypse... In general, there is no need to hit people in the teeth. And the bottom-up vector, as you already know, has undeniable advantages.

So that you don’t stare with open bloodthirstiness at the heads of all the citizens around you, let’s turn your attention to your feet. Although blows to the legs will not knock out the enemy, they may well force him to reconsider his attitude towards you or, at least, shock the enemy, giving him time to think and further actions. Some craftsmen advise mercilessly trampling your opponent's toes, putting him in a state of indescribable painful shock. The undoubted advantage of this course of action is that in case of failure, you can refer to peculiar national dances and gracefully parade somewhere far away with an elegant paso doble. If you want to inflict a more or less effective blow on your opponent, you just need to remember the last time you played football. You are required to make a simple “football” kick with the toe of your boot into the shin of an ill-wisher. The blow should be struck inside legs, where the bone is located, not protected by muscle. To achieve this condition, it is enough to hit right foot on the right, and the left, respectively, on the left limb of the adversary. The requirements for such a strike are accuracy, strength and preferably hard shoes. The nerve endings in the periosteum will immediately transmit your positive mental impulse to the owner of the lower leg. An unpleasant surprise for you may come from athletes with shin pain (although a strong blow will hit even such a trained leg) and people who cannot feel their legs. Hit them in the eyes with your fingers! Or just leave - they won’t catch up with you anyway.

One should not lose sight of such an object for kicks as knee joint. Of course, there is a risk of causing serious injury to a person. However, if the villain is not hit, there is a risk of injury himself. The blow is completely identical to the previous one, the only difference is the target of the blow and its effectiveness. Much less force is required to injure a person in the knee. The knee joint, being one of the most complex joints human body, will respond even to a blow of medium strength delivered by the toe of a boot under the kneecap.

Advanced user

Having examined your head and legs for vulnerable points, you will involuntarily ask yourself the question of what to do if you think that poking a person in the eyes with your fingers is undignified, kicking him in the legs is somehow girlish, and pounding him in the groin is generally unacceptable. It is at this moment that an inconspicuous torso at first glance will appear before your eyes! This receptacle for the respiratory, digestive and circulatory organs cannot but arouse interest in you as a bloodthirsty nature. However, the internal organs are perfectly protected by bones and muscles. Although, as you understand, if everything were so hopeless, we would not even write about it. In the course of experiments and simulations of life situations, we found several points on the human body that you could easily influence to resolve disagreements with anyone.

For some, the phrase “blow to the liver” is associated exclusively with the holidays, fatty foods, alcohol and other options to have a good time. But for you, street fighter, the liver is primarily a target for a blow that brings unbearable suffering to the victim, and to you the primal joy of an alpha male who defeats an opponent. This organ performs a number of important functions in the body: removing harmful substances from the blood, converting various substances into energy (glucose), hematopoiesis, etc. The liver is located on the right side abdominal cavity and is protected only by the muscle frame, and in some cases by the fat frame. A blow to the liver leads to sharp, severe pain, the inability to straighten up and often move the limbs. Simply put, having received it in the liver, a person immediately assumes the fetal position and remains in this state for several minutes. To defeat this organ, you will need the simplest knowledge of anatomy and more or less developed impact force. If you're in the habit of punching concrete blocks, be careful. Liver rupture leads to serious consequences, and in some cases, immediate death.

The human body can respond very expressively to a blow to the solar plexusganglion, located in the very center of the human torso and controls the muscular diaphragm of the lungs and the muscles of most abdominal organs. When this point is hit, a spasm of the diaphragm occurs, which almost deprives the person of the ability to breathe. Short-term disturbances in the functioning of the heart also occur, which cannot but affect the general well-being of your opponent. Just like with a hit to the liver, you will need to invest in this hit in order to achieve the desired result.


Of course, there are many more ways to disable the human body. We decided that if we give you a little more information on this topic, then in the next issue we will have to write an article-guide for those who want to protect themselves from an aggressive madman who, with enviable stubbornness, attacks people, pokes his fingers in their eyes, hits them on the ears , kicks the knees and hits the crotch.

It only remains to say that the main factor that can hinder you is your own civilized consciousness, which will for a long time resist the decision you made to end the conflict in such a primitive but effective way as a fight.

When the wind of change blows, set not walls, but sails.

Eastern wisdom.

Every person has the same ones, the defeat of which does not depend on physical strength, neither from the character nor from the 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 withstand the 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. What I mean is that you can expose your big muscles to attack if you don't have time to fully defend yourself. 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 consider vitally important points namely a healthy and strong person. The defeat of which will lead to injury to the enemy under any conditions, regardless of physical and psychological state 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 points to attack, 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 light blow with a knife, temporal artery, may cause excessive bleeding.
  7. temporal bone or temple - a classic blow with a fist or the heel of the palm from the side (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 - immediately under the lobe there is a very painful point When the opportunity arises, poke at 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 your hand can cause cuts in the skin brow ridges, and the enemy’s eyes will fill 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 poke sharp object and 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 down the enemy 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, punching lower jaw. 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 cervical vertebrae for throws 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 hand-to-hand combat manuals, this point is called exactly 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
  57. stomach
  58. lower abdomen
  59. . The 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 at the back
  73. short ribs in back
  74. tailbone - just a blow from below on the tailbone causes acute pain.
  75. caviar. kick to the base calf muscle, can paralyze the leg. But you need an accurate blow, for example with the base of a shoe. 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. So 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 to live”

Self-defense - PAIN POINTS

The science of anatomy of the human body is quite interesting. It would seem that with influence, sometimes even the most insignificant, on certain pain points in the human body, a person can be cured or crippled.

To use techniques for influencing pain points, you must, first of all, learn to remain calm in the most unexpected situations, learn and learn how to use distracting maneuvers, develop lightning-fast reactions and accuracy. Studying anatomy, both to influence pressure points and to provide first aid, is mandatory.

Pain points are usually called the most vulnerable places, where pain threshold practically absent. This allows you to protect yourself regardless of the difference in weight and height.

The anatomical structure of a person is such that pain points are located all over his body: on the head, legs, arms, back... There are quite a lot of them, but they are so small that getting into them is not easy.

There is such a thing as a targeted hit. Considering that the enemy will not behave like a dummy, each point must be “worked out” until it becomes automatic.

An even more difficult task is to influence the points correctly, calculating the length and force of the blow, poke, bite, pressure. If handled skillfully, anatomical knowledge of pain points on the human body, used for the purpose of self-defense, can play either a decisive or fatal role.

You can independently study the anatomy and location of pain points on the human body using pictures from books and the Internet as much as you like. Without training, they cannot be applied correctly.

Independent training with acquaintances and friends can end very badly: severe injuries, disability, and even fatal. Their inept use in a fight can end the same way.


The use of painful techniques is an extreme measure, awkward movements and the investigator will have to explain his anatomical knowledge of the person.

"1. ANKLE JOINT ("RISE" OF THE FOOT)

Relatively weak hits ankle joint cause acute pain and deprive the opponent of the opportunity to actively work with his leg. A stronger impact leads to the destruction of the small bones of the foot, causing a crack, or even a fracture of the lower end tibia(small or large, depending on which side the blow is struck from). A strong blow from behind at the level of the instep of the foot ruptures the Achilles tendon if the attacked leg is under load at this time and does not fly forward.

2. SHIN (“BONE”)

Relatively weak blows to the shin cause acute pain and huge bruising, damaging the periosteum. Strong impact results in painful shock up to loss of consciousness, crack or fracture of the bone.

3. KNEE JOINT

Relatively weak blows to the knee cause acute pain and force the opponent to moderate his ardor. Stronger impact leads to rupture knee ligaments, fragmentation of cartilage, dislocation or fracture of the bones that form the articular joint. Often a person becomes disabled after this. A moderate blow from behind (in the popliteal fold) is also accompanied by acute pain and partial destruction of the joint.

4. PERINEUM (GENITAL ORGANS)

Even light impact on the neurovascular bundle located in the genitals causes acute pain and disables it for several tens of seconds. Stronger blows entail a painful shock up to loss of consciousness and guarantee severe injury with internal bleeding.

5. BOTTOM OF THE ABDOMEN (PUBIC AREA)

There is no muscular armor in the lower abdomen, and within the abdominal cavity there are numerous neurovascular plexuses. A relatively weak blow to the lower abdomen is accompanied by severe pain and fainting. A stronger impact causes painful shock up to loss of consciousness, internal bleeding, fracture of the pubic bone or rupture of the bladder.

6. SOLAR NERVE PLEXUS (“SUN”)

It is located directly below the xiphoid process of the sternum. A relatively weak blow to the solar 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 leads to suffocation, loss of consciousness and even death if it was directed from bottom to top.

7. CARDIAC NERVE PLEXUS (“HEART”)

This target is located just below the left nipple. Everything that has been said about the “sun” is also true here. I will only add that with a strong blow to the heart, it can stop and then death will occur instantly. It is necessary to know about this, since heart nerve plexus more vulnerable than solar.

8. INTERCLAVICULAR FOSSUM (“FALL”)

It is located below the Adam's apple (the so-called “Adam's apple”), between the collarbones. There are no muscles here, so even a weak blow injures the trachea, which is accompanied by severe coughing, tears, and a feeling of suffocation. A strong impact causes throat bleeding, respiratory arrest, loss of consciousness and often death, especially if the blow was made by some object: the end of a stick, a ballpoint pen, etc.

9. THROAT (Adam’s apple, ADAM’S APPLE)

This refers to the thyroid cartilage of the larynx, which protrudes forward from under the skin. A slight blow causes severe pain and suffocation. Consciousness, as a rule, is preserved, but the enemy loses the ability to active actions for a period of time from fifteen to twenty 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.

10. CHIN (CENTER OF THE LOWER JAW)

Scientifically speaking, when a blow to the chin occurs, a concussion occurs. vestibular apparatus and activity is temporarily inhibited cardiovascular system to provide the brain with oxygen. Both taken together cause fainting. In addition, sometimes such a blow causes a person to bite his tongue hard with his teeth.

11. RIBS (LIVER AND Spleen)

As you know, a person has 12 pairs of ribs. Of these, 7 pairs are called upper, and 5 are called lower, or false. WITH right side the body behind the lower ribs is the liver, on the left side is the spleen. As a result of bruising the ribs with relatively weak blows, a person experiences acute pain; he reflexively experiences an instant release of blood from both the liver and spleen. Both of these incapacitate him for some time. With a stronger blow, two or three ribs may break, which in itself makes breathing and movement difficult. But what is much more significant is that a strong blow causes the liver or spleen to rupture. And since both of these organs contain large number blood (they are a kind of “blood depot”), so the matter can end in death.

12. HYPOCOSTUM

This is the name of the area of ​​the body below false ribs. A blow to this area, directed in a straight line from the right or left side into the body, causes intense pain and internal bleeding. This is due to the fact that in the areas adjacent to the sides of the abdominal cavity there are large blood vessels and there are numerous nerve nodes. If the blow is directed from bottom to top, as if under the ribs, then it injures either the liver (and the gallbladder), or the spleen. Such a blow, in addition, easily breaks the tenth rib.

13. CLAVILA

Even from a weak blow to the collarbone, a person experiences acute pain, and in order to break it, an effort of only 25 kilograms per person is required. square centimeter. Such an effort is accessible to both a teenager and an untrained woman. 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.

14. LATERAL SURFACE OF THE NECK

The carotid artery, jugular vein and vagus nerve pass through this place. 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. But the main thing is that he feels acute pain. With a stronger impact, loss of consciousness occurs (although blows of this kind are not life-threatening), or, at a minimum, the person falls to the ground.

15. UPPER LIP (“FILTRUM” OR NASOLABIAL FOLD)

To be precise, we mean the area of ​​the face between the base of the nose and the upper lip. Here the nasal cartilage fuses with the cranial bone and the nerve ganglion is located. Even from a weak blow with the edge of your palm, a “fork”, or a fist, directed deep into the face, your opponent will feel acute pain. If you hit harder, you will experience a painful shock, concussion, loss of consciousness and, possibly, death. It all depends on the force of the blow, its trajectory and the accuracy of the hit. In any case, blood will flow, not from the nose, but from the upper lip.

16. BASE OF THE NOSE

The nose is a very sensitive organ, so a short poke is enough to make any “jock” throw his head back, and blood starts to flow from his nostrils. A blow to the base of the nose does not require any force, but it can also “knock out” strong man hardly possible.

17. BRIDGE OF THE NOSE (MIDDLE OF THE DOOR OF THE NOSE)

A light blow causes acute pain, a medium blow causes pain shock (up to loss of consciousness), heavy bleeding, total loss combat effectiveness. A strong blow crushes the nasal bone and the cartilage attached to it into fragments, which can penetrate the brain and cause instant death.

Human eyes are very vulnerable. It takes virtually no force to injure them. However, getting into the eye is not so easy. Much more often, an attack to the eyes is used as a maneuver to divert the enemy's attention from the main blow. Well, those are quite in rare cases, when your finger actually sticks into the enemy’s eye, the latter experiences acute pain and loses orientation in the surrounding space. Simply put, after this he is exclusively concerned with the state of his organ of vision.

The eyes, together with the bridge of the nose, base of the nose and nasolabial fold form the so-called “T-zone” of the lesion. She is the main target for attacks aimed at the face.

19. TEMPLE

Blows to the temple are extremely dangerous. A relatively weak blow is accompanied by painful shock, concussion and loss of consciousness, a stronger impact breaks the temporal bone. It, in turn, pierces the adjacent area of ​​the brain and cuts the blood vessels passing there, resulting in instant death.

The fact is that the temporal bone of the skull is very thin, and directly under it passes cerebral artery. The temple is usually hit with a fist (more precisely, with a knuckle index finger), the base of the fist, the knuckle of the bent thumb, and sometimes the elbow if the opponent is short.

This is an organ not only of hearing, but also of balance (semicircular canals inner ear). The most effective is a simultaneous blow to the ears with the palms of both hands, bent like cups. As a result, a person feels a painful shock, dizziness, feels nauseous, and loses orientation in space. With stronger exposure, the eardrums may burst, and internal hemorrhage in the brain may also occur, resulting in death.

21. OCCIPTI (BASE OF SKULL)

This is where the neck connects to the skull. A blow to this place with the edge of the palm, its base, fist, elbow is accompanied by acute pain, loss of orientation, semi-fainting - if it is relatively weak, a more powerful blow displaces the cervical vertebrae, pinches or tears spinal cord, as a result of which the person ends up in intensive care, or even in the cemetery. In both cases, the enemy is instantly incapacitated for a long time. But it’s very, very difficult to hit the back of the enemy’s head well, especially if this enemy is tall and strong in build.

22. NECK BACK

As you know, the human spine consists of 7 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar vertebrae, as well as the sacrum and coccyx, formed by fused vertebrae. Passes inside the vertebrae nerve trunk spinal cord. Spinal injuries associated with displacement or fracture of the vertebrae are accompanied by severe damage (partial or complete ruptures) of the spinal cord. The rupture of its cervical regions completely paralyzes a person. Ruptures in the thoracic region paralyze the abdominal and intercostal muscles, which makes breathing extremely difficult, and in lumbar region- paralysis lower limbs. With a weak blow, a person feels acute pain, short time depriving him of the ability to continue the fight. A strong blow knocks him to the ground and completely incapacitates him, which can also lead to death.

23, 24, 25. THE GROUND BETWEEN THE SHOULDS, LOWER AND CENTRAL BACK

The three main targets on the back are: the valley between the shoulder blades, central part back and lower back. As mentioned above, blows to any part of the spine are very painful and dangerous. Sometimes the tailbone is also indicated as a vulnerable place below the back, but any traumatologist will tell you that this is far from the case. The blow to the tailbone must be strong and directed exclusively from the bottom up, so that the person feels acute pain. But even if you manage to break it, this will not prevent the enemy from fighting; he will suffer from pain later.

26. KIDNEY

The kidney is a large internal organ, its length in an adult is 10-13 cm, and its width is 5-6 cm, and left kidney longer and thicker than the right one. The kidney is a very sensitive organ; in addition, in the place where it is located, a large nerve passes under the very skin of the back - a branch from the spinal cord. Therefore, even a light blow to the kidney area is accompanied by acute pain. And the stronger it is, the higher the likelihood of kidney rupture with bleeding, painful shock and death.

27. ELBOW

Every adult has hit his elbow on some hard object more than once, and knows how painful it is. It’s as if an electric discharge pierces the whole body. But the pain is in in this case not the main evil. What's worse is that the elbow joint is quite weak and can easily be dislocated or broken.

A blow to the elbow causes acute pain, partial or complete rupture of ligaments, dislocation, or fracture. The stronger the blow, the tighter you hold the opponent’s hand, the more serious consequences it attracts. It is clear that with a broken elbow the opponent is no longer a fighter. One arm is completely disabled, he is forced to support the broken one with the other, otherwise the slightest movement will cause acute pain in the broken joint.

28. ARMPITA (ARMPITA)

The brachial plexus is located here, the median and ulnar nerves, the subclavian artery and vein pass through, and there are numerous lymph nodes and vessels. A blow to this place with a relatively weak impact causes acute pain, making it impossible to attack. A strong blow is accompanied by partial or complete destruction of the shoulder joint capsule, painful shock, and sometimes leads to death.

29. SHOULDER JOINT

The shallow glenoid cavity, the large size of the head of the humerus and the weakness of the ligaments of the articular capsule make the shoulder joint the place where, compared to all other joints, dislocations most often occur (from falls, pushes, bruises, etc.)— Shoulder dislocation is not uncommon accompanied by a fracture of the upper end of the humerus. Thus, the anatomical features of this joint make it one of the most vulnerable places in the 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 acute pain, muscle numbness, ligament rupture or intramuscular bleeding - it all depends on the force of the blow and how well you hit the shoulder.

30. FINGERS OF THE BRUSH

It is common knowledge (at least among traumatologists) that fingers are easily injured. It’s easy to knock them out of their joints or break them with a blow.” Self-defense for women recommends -

  1. The topic tells about the vulnerable places of the human body, as well as the places of impact and the resulting effect
    Strikes on painful and vulnerable points
  2. The most vulnerable points of the head.
    A blow to the temple.
    The temple is one of the weak points of the skull. 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.
    A blow to the base of the skull.
    The point is located at the base of the skull, at the junction of the back of the head and the first cervical vertebra. A weak blow to this area leads to loss of consciousness, a strong blow interrupts the nerve and leads to immediate death.
    A blow to the top of the head.
    The point is located at the top of the head. It's pretty weak point skulls A weak blow to this point can cause a concussion. A strong blow can damage the brain, cause hemorrhage and ultimately 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 will hit cervical region 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.
    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.
    Hit to the cheek (above the side of the jaw)
    this point is relatively weak. A blow to it leads to a fracture of the jaw and damage to surrounding blood vessels and nerves. If the opponent's mouth is open and the blow is struck at a downward angle, the jaw will fall out of its socket, causing severe pain.
    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 eardrum
  3. 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 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.

  4. 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 region, 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 may cause 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 weak blow to this area will cause very severe pain. A strong blow can rupture the bladder and cause shock.
    A kick or hand to the tailbone.
    In this area the nerves are relatively protected and a strong blow can damage the central nervous system, causing severe pain and possible paralysis.
    A blow to the kidneys
    The kidneys are very close to back wall 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.
    A blow to the back area opposite the heart.
    A blow to this point can cause shock, as there is a direct impact on the heart. This impact can be fatal.
  5. The table below shows the degrees pain from blows to vulnerable places on the body.
    The numbers in its last three columns correspond to the degree of salt sensation when hitting the corresponding place:
    1-first degree. The pain is moderate, of medium strength, but even it can confuse the enemy and prevent an attack from him;
    2 - spicy. Confuses the enemy for a longer period of time;
    3 - dazed or numb. Staggering an opponent reduces their ability to counteract, although they remain conscious. Muscle numbness impairs mobility in the limbs for a period of several seconds to several hours;
    4 - temporary paralysis or loss of consciousness. Temporary paralysis can last from a few minutes to several hours;
    5 - severe injury, possible injury or death.

  8. Excerpt from the book: Anatomy of Life and Death - (excerpts are printed in abbreviation)

    Having studied the physiological effect of striking various vulnerable points of the human body, Yamada Ko found that, “if we exclude injuries that lead to the death of the enemy, such as, for example, hemorrhage in the skull or damage to vital internal organs in general, the use of the ate-miwaza technique in 53% of cases leads to fainting, loss of consciousness or a state of shock;
    in 25% of cases - injuries to the musculoskeletal system: paralysis, sprain, dislocation, bone fracture, etc.;
    in 20% - nosebleeds, lacerations, etc.;
    2% - visual impairment, hearing impairment, etc.”
    In addition, he confirmed the existence of the “delayed death” technique: “There are also atemi techniques, which they say: “An hour of sleep - death in three days.” This is the name for techniques whose effects can range from extremely mild, short-term fainting to death as a result of secondary shock, aneurysm or destruction of liver cells after three days, three months, etc. after using the atemiwaza technique.”

    Finally, in the second half of the 60s. XX century holder of the 5th dan in judo, employee of the sports research laboratory at Tokyo Normal University, professor of medicine Asami Takaaki conducted a series of practical experiments with the delivery of real blows to vulnerable points of the human body. During these dangerous experiments, judokas, who acted as “guinea pigs,” were blindfolded, and karatekas, without any warning, struck them at various vulnerable points, after which changes in the functioning of the respiratory system and the readings of the electroencephalogram, which records the waves emitted by the brain, were recorded. , and electrocardiograms. Blows with full force were applied to 3 sokuto points (a blow to them entails loss of consciousness) and 7 sokushi points (their defeat entails death). The results of these studies were published in the 4th issue of the “Bulletin of the Kodokan Judo Research Society” (“Kodokan Judo Kagaku Kenkyukai Kise”).

  9. Kodokan judo uses punches, kicks and head strikes. All attacks are divided into 3 types:

    1) tsuki - poking blows,
    2) uti - chopping, biting blows,
    3) cari - kicks.

    The trajectories of strikes in judo, as in most ancient schools of jujutsu, unlike karate, are not given much attention, since the main thing in a strike is considered to be the presence of certain qualities, and not form (although the latter, of course, exists).

    These qualities are the following:

    1) strike speed, as Yamada Ko points out, “the effectiveness of a strike in the atemiwaza technique is determined by the formula:
    (MV squared divided by 2), where M is mass and V is speed, which is why the owner of the 10th dan teacher Mifune Kyuzo says that “strength is speed”, the larger the object, the harder it is, the higher the speed of impact with this object, the more effective the impact";

    2) precision of the blow, the blow must hit, firstly, a certain vulnerable point, and, secondly, be strictly at right angles to the surface of the target;

    3) the strike must use the correct striking shape of the hand, foot or head, ensuring maximum rigidity and precision of impact;

    4) correct investment of all weight and force into the blow, which is possible only if the actions of the arms, hips and legs are fully coordinated and high speed, which, in turn, is only possible if balance is maintained;

    5) the right moment to strike, the fighter must understand the rhythm of the enemy’s breathing and strike at the moment of the end of his exhalation, while inhaling;

    6) withdrawal of the striking limb after a blow; after a blow, the fighter must withdraw his hand at the same speed (or better yet with even greater speed) with which he struck in order to prepare for the next actions, therefore it is necessary to practice blows in combination with withdrawal.

    The effectiveness of a strike depends on several other factors:

    1) The degree of vulnerability of the points is different, some of them are more sensitive, others less;
    2) various types strikes have different effects on the enemy’s vulnerable points;
    3) the maximum destructive power of a blow is achieved by combining a punching effect with a rotational movement, as, for example, when striking with a tightly clenched fist and twisting;
    4) The effectiveness of the blow increases if the target is as hard as, for example, the skull, or as thick and large as the torso.

    As Yamada Ko points out, “a blow has a penetrating and collateral effect on the inside of the target... As for the collateral effect, the affected parts of the body containing soft, fluid-rich organs, such as the cranium containing the brain; long tubular bones, in which it is stored bone marrow, rib cage surrounding the lungs, a bladder filled with urine, a stomach full after eating, the heart in the relaxation phase, and even such vulnerable organs as the liver, spleen, kidneys experience severe shock cellular level and an increase in fluid pressure in them. In addition, blows can lead to perforation, rupture and other injuries to internal organs, which leads to the release of sputum, urine and feces mixed with blood, concussion, hemorrhage in the skull, etc. A strong blow to the abdominal area causes a shock to the internal organs. It can also indirectly cause lung injury.”

    For effective application Atemi technique requires calm, composure and precise calculation. “All atemiwaza techniques must be applied decisively, fearlessly (mui), without doubt (mugi), with complete dedication (muichi) and the investment of all strength (mutai), i.e. in a state of “mu” - “absence of self”, based on knowledge of distance (maai), breathing (tesoku), coordination of movements (te-sei), learned in the process of tireless training in judo. However, there is no arguing that the actual amount of damage that can be caused to an opponent using the atemi technique depends on many factors of the performer’s courage, training, skill, dexterity, etc.,” writes Sensei Yamada. Thus, mastery of the atemi technique, as it were, crowns the mastery of the entire judo fight, and its masterful application is possible only for specialists of the highest class.
