Do Pressures Points Work for Self Defense?

[@KevinLeeVlog]

Let me know if you think pressure points work or not!

[@Lynxtpm]

Looks like they work, but I think you have to dominate technic and have the knowledge to apply them first. Was that karate that you guys were doing?😅

[@kananisha]

I have used pressure points on the job, they do work in the right context and applied correctly.

[@slade2860]

I have used as well,the ones in arms work better than neck or body

[@BassSyndromeProduction]

Pressure points do work depending on the circumstances when to apply them and resistant you get from your opponent.

[@dragos2023]

They definitely work. In karate specially where there are no blocks. But the king of pressure points has to be japanese ju-jitsu. Everything you've experienced in the video comes from JJJ.

[@charlescollier7217]

He's absolutely right about pressure points - they USUALLY work. There are definitely exceptions. Love the choke defense - its like a modified nikyo wrist lock.

[@sway71]

Totally agree. My old master had an encyclopedia of knowledge, but he would either teach 20-30 points with no explanation or a handful of techniques where they could be applied, leaving us to fill in the blanks. It make sense to be taught that way if it's your full time job, but it made it very difficult to learn and retain with only 2 classes a week haha.

[@MichaelBuieFilms]

At our Shaolin Kung Fu school, we also call that index finger knuckle protruding from the fist, the "Phoenix Eye Fist." When its the middle finger knuckle, we call that the "Horse Fist"

That is one of the cardinal principles of martial arts: having a great knowledge of anatomy. Pressure points definitely fit the category.

Great point!

[@ralfhtg1056]

Finally a no-BS teacher when it comes to pressure points. His explanations as to why sometimes they don't work are spot on! It is so tiresome to find a teacher like this and not end up with somebody like George Dillmann! My 2 cents: stress! It let's you forget the easiest things and make the dumbest mistakes. So under stress the probability of successfully using this, shrinks. So in addition to this you also need to practise stress resiliance like in any martial art.

[@watts18269]

Agreed on your last point. Also with adrenaline pumping in a fight you lose small motor function and usually end up with a tightly clenched fist, hence it’s harder to pull off. I think a massive part of martial art training should be getting over that fear response and learning to stay as relaxed as possible to mitigate the tunnel vision, lack of fine motor skills etc

This was great. I have seen pressure point techniques in the past but it always seemed like you had to let them do it to you. The only people in my experience that were successful with it at all were cops doing pain compliance (similar with Aikido wrist locks). But always in conjunction with solid wrestling and striking techniques. Also Kevin has never looked smaller, Jerome is a lot of man.

[@cringusmoss9937]

I like the use of pressure points to break structure instead of necessarily inducing pure pain compliance. If you have ever attempted to get someone to tap you are using pain compliance. That's well proven in ever fighting league that allows submissions. The choke defense against the wall is inspired.

[@KevinLeeVlog]

Very true!!

[@SuperCucko]

I wouldn't call most grappling submissions 'pain compliance'. They hurt for sure but people tap because of the risk of serious bodily injury if they don't. Broken arms, knee surgery, etc.

[@cringusmoss9937]

@@SuperCucko future pain compliance? I see it as the sparring mentality of tagging; you're not trying to knock each other out but even in medium intensity sparring there's an understanding of "coulda had me there". Obviously you can't tap between strike and knockout but I'd be willing to bet most fighters would if given the chance. The "knockout" is just a step removed from the threat. Check vs. Checkmate.

[@Iwatoda_Dorm]

Hmm yea, it’s really something you wouldn’t expect as well. Its like testing for your knee reflex- it’s out of the persons control. Which in a match, can give you ample time to get into a better position.

[@tylerrichlen3286]

Definitely an option. I always found pressure points are for getting a desired response, not an end goal. When I studied Hapkido, that was a small part of the art. And when I did BJJ it was fun to use those to help incite a reaction that would allow me to gain openings. Didn't always work, and you really need the advantage of big hands and a strong grip to truly get a lot of them(aside from the knuckle versions, but it still helps).

[@kdsanji7129]

Learning the first example of the pressure point from Original Point Medicine for healing massages, its more painful if you actually have a medical problem, headaches, migraines, ear problem etc....

Pressure points don't end the fight, but they can open up space or give you an advantage for other techniques to end the fight. The issue is McDojo instructors that pretend that pressure points are fight enders. This instructor was very good

Wow, so there’s a type of movement in a number of karate kata that I’ve been trying to figure out the real applications for.

[@k.ahnung7030]

Absolutely stunning! The man is 100% right about the pressure points! The technique with the thumb is awesome! Never thought on this before. But I think that's no real pressure point. It's just the hyperextension of the muscle in the thumb until the point where the joint give up. And that's a big advantage, because this will also work on persons who are normally unaffected by real pressure points. Absolutely great content!

[@Sweetersteve]

Short answer.. Yes! In a real situation where you are defending yourself, the application comes within like the video described, holding or grappling.

[@fodero]

It really is a coin flip with pressure points if you're not going for vitals like the neck. They feel nasty on me but there's one really skinny guy in my wing chun class that barely flinches when you grab his points on his arms. Everyone's tolerance level is different. I'd only rely on them in a real pinch (no pun intended).

[@johndough8115]

The Ancient arts teach hitting in the Head for a reason. Its the quickest route to the Brain. HOWEVER, to make a hit without breaking your knuckles, requires at least 1 year of hitting the wall mounted Sandbag. You cant be putting on soft MMA gloves, and hitting a soft heavy bag... and somehow think... that your fists are Conditioned enough for REAL Combat. One thing you Dont want to do, when delivering a Palmstrike... is to keep your fingers Spread out (as seen in this video). Keep them glued together at all times... otherwise, they could easily get caught on someones clothing, or limbs, as your are attempting the movement. When fingers are together, they act like a single braced unit... increasing the overall structural strength. Fingers that are not braced, are not only prone to hyper-extension... but also, to getting Jammed into themselves. A Jammed finger is one of the most painful injuries, that you can suffer, during a fight. Once it happens... even the smallest of vibrations that you feel on your body... will travel to the finger, and your eyes will be welling up with tears. You will barely be able to even defend yourself, due to the pains being suffered. Now... Of course, Pressure points can work. The rare instances where they dont work... are from people whom may be freakishly muscular, or trained to endure an attack on that spot (Iron Body Conditioning). That said... Resisting "Even-Pressure" based attacks... is very different from heavy Impact based pressure point strikes. And the highest level of pressure point strikes, require Fajin (pronounced "fahh jinn" ...which translates into: "Explosive Power" ). With Masterclass level, short range explosive power generation... you can turn a finger strike... from a mildly painful event... into a Lethal interaction. At that point, its called "Dim Mak". While many people know the exact points to hit... most artists cant get reliable Dim Mak results... because they dont know, nor have never mastered, "Fajin" expression (which is a requirement, for that level of internally damaging results). True Dim Mak, is not about mere Pain. At medium levels... It can cause so much internal tissue inflammation, that it causes a slow in bloodflow circulation. At higher levels of expression... it can cause internal ruptures. Sometimes, multiple targets are struck, to create an increased pressure build up... and make the circulation issues even greater... while also making it much harder to Reverse the effects. Even at lower levels... it can also do things like Over-Load your nervous system... making it almost impossible to breath for a while... and your brain temporarily shuts down, similar to an actual Stroke.

I think a lot of people have the wrong idea about what so called pressure points are and what happens when you press them. They think it's gonna be like the Dim Mak, or a Vulcan neck pinch, or that thing Uma Thurman does to Bill in Kill Bill, but it's just a cluster of nerves that unexpectedly hurts real bad. You can't disable someone's legs or kill them outright by poking just the right spot, but you can cause them a lot of pain until they do what you want them to.

[@angeloschneider4272]

You can most certainly disable someone's leg. I know minimum 8 points out of my mind. Ah, 2 more, so we are at 10.The Vulcan neck pin is also easy: it is just not at the neck, but 6cm away behind your collar bone, hitting the Vagus nerve. Most pressure points are not nerves, but bone skin, and muscles ends (arguable you could say you hit the nerve going into the muscle there).

Pressure point manipulation through joint locks and striking have always been apart of the martial arts. It has only begun to change since modern warfare and the industrial age. Now we hold on to 'do' or the way. And the 'martial' and the sharpness of the martial aspect is dulled. But the body and spirit and mind are still developed through the practice. It's important that the martial aspects are not forgotten. I try to remember this always when I train Jujitsu and make my goal on bottom to protect my pressure points of my head and always work to get up. I appreciate the instructors freedom of mind.

[@KevinLeeVlog]

So true 🤣🤣🤣

[@sway71]

It's interesting, because things like BJJ tend to immobilize from the center of the body and work towards the joint they want to break (takedown to pin to submission) whereas many older martial arts go from the end of the extremity and work their way in. They often start by immobilizing a wrist, which makes it easier to continue to the elbow, shoulder, etc. I've even seen the same with catching a kick and immediately going for the ankle.

[@SuperCucko]

My instructor called that first part of the choke defense the 'turtle shell maneuver'. It works against pretty much every choke, very handy. I bet that thumb trick would be super useful in grappling sports but probably illegal.

[@d-chudasama]

This guy was very good to help you understand the technique

[@АртемДельфин]

Well, hello there. Here is the thing - this reminds me of aikido. Not in terms of the techniques themselves, but the way you apply them. All of the techniques you show will exclusively work on an opponent that is actually not trying to fight and just standing there, or a complete novice (not an athletic one). The reason is - none of your moves anticipate a counter. The takedown when you apply pressure to the inside of the leg is basically a low single leg. The difference being - when you get on a low single, you rap your hands around the ankle of your opponent. This is done to prevent the opponent simply stepping back with the leg that is being attacked to avoid the pressure. Similar thing with the r*pe choke defence - generally, it’s a smart thing you are doing with similar techniques existing in Judo and BJJ. However, the problem here is that you don’t get under your opponent’s weight when you preform the “toss” and there is no man alive that will be strong enough to hold 2 hands of a resisting person with just one hand. What will happe n is the person who is performing the r*pe choke will simply pull his arms away when he starts feeling pressure from you turning. I know you can turn and drop fast, but trust me - pulling hands away when they feel like they are in trouble is an instinctual movement that is done much faster. You will end up turning and dropping without the hands secure, expose your back and find yourself in a worst predicament than before (you are completely right saying that flexing your traps and neck fully prevents the rape choke btw). As for the pressure points - honestly, it’s a weird technique. Sure, it might work on some, but not a dedicated dude pumping ungodly amounts of adrenaline through his body during a fight - the person you should actually be concerned about during a confrontation. I’ve had my arm broken in half during a fight and didn’t feel much pain till my adrenaline started to wear off - it’s not a flex, it’s just the way the body works. The body prioritises surviving during a fight, not avoiding getting a bruise in a nasty area. Your opponent simply won’t feel enough pain during an actual fight to react in the desired way, even though the pain seems incredibly intense when it’s just practice. All in all - try sparring some higher level belts in BJJ and you will feel the issues with these techniques. Not hating, just trying to help.

[@angeloschneider4272]

" I know you can turn and drop fast, but trust me - pulling hands away when they feel like they are in trouble is an instinctual movement that is done much faster. " yeah, and your assumption makes clear you have no clue about martial arts. No one pulls away. They try to hold harder. Everyone who is not a trained Judo/BJJ or similar fighter, is not going to release anything he has already grabbed. He will try as hard as possible to hold it. And normal person, aka non martial artist: do not even know what is going on and what is going to happen. "I’ve had my arm broken in half during a fight and didn’t feel much pain till my adrenaline started to wear off - it’s not a flex, it’s just the way the body works.

It made me angry and caused me to go overboard in my response. It did not cause me to want to stop fighting... So when your life is directly under threat, like self defense, I want something truly disabling. This guy is still showing off some real good shit regardless of my own opinion and experience though!

[@MrTacklebury]

In many cases, striking into pressure points can be very effective also. There are so many targets that people don't really know will perform an incapacitating move. I have often struck the rear of the elbow to temporarily numb the assailant's arm and take away one of their weapons. The most difficult situation is those who are intoxicated and I find it best to just get them on the ground and keep them there. If they try to stand up, just upset the balance or take down a knee. Just watch for their buddy Billy jo bob who hasn't had as much to drink or comes up behind/beside you unexpectedly. In my style, Sanchin Ryu Karate, we have several grab/hold on the arms as it is a very close in style designed for defense only.

It’s always good to twist out. Pressure points can only help.

Where I’ve found the failure to be in most cases, is that people think that the know pressure points when they don’t.

Great instructor. I’d have to check you out when the wife and I visit. I study Jeet Kune Do. There’s a lot of similarities

Pressure points can work, I have used them during arrest techniques when working club doors. But during a fight situation where it is all blood and snot and moving at a hundred miles an hour, I needed to rely on different kinds of techniques.
