Good day, Soldiers! This article is a chapter from the book “How to Guaranteed to Win in a Street Fight,” which can be downloaded from. In the book, the material is arranged more compactly and without any side deviations, as a result of which the material is easier to study, as they say, in practice, without jumping from page to page.

I bring it here for the reason that: “How is this so? The blog is dedicated to martial arts, but nothing about the vulnerable spots of the human body? It's a mess! So, the situation is as follows: the enemy is directly in front of you frontally.

Your hands are lowered, it doesn’t matter for him: they may be lowered, they may be in a fighting position, they may also be released by inflicting small shoves on your shoulder.

Of course, no one allowed him to do this, and therefore it is necessary to instill in him respect for his neighbor. So to speak, “conduct explanatory conversations.” Actions in this case, of course, must be chosen as short as possible and in the closest accessible zones.

In the very first moments of the conflict, it is very important to bring the enemy into such physical state when he is unable to fight. To do this, you need to know the places where the force is applied, which are located on the front of his body, because the shortest trajectory between your bodies is, of course, a straight line.

I will list these zones, starting with the head, along with methods of approximate impact.

Impacts to the eyesight, for example, with with running blows with your fingertips in the manner of a “saw”. The fingers in this case are not pressed together, but follow each other, taking turns biting into the target, which, of course, is the “eyes”. It should be noted that the attack is carried out in a “whip” manner, and not in a “stick” manner, when the hand, with its joints completely secured, strikes, since the first option is several times faster.

Blinding the enemy, even temporarily, or forcing the enemy to make the reaction you have planned, for example, throwing back the head followed by a full attack on the throat, can be done in other forms, for example, reverse side brushes This is rather a tactical strike, although any strike delivered is harmful.

Jaw twisting with a special blow with a twist if the impact is carried out with a fist, and with the center of the palm for a direct attack. In frontal positions, it is carried out by striking the base of the palm in a small circle after contact, when after the strike the base of the palm additionally makes a shifting movement in a circle away from itself and downwards.

The attack can be carried out with a fist and also with a twist after contact along the forearm. The blow displaces the jaw, displaces the joints. An additional rotation along the axis of the forearm and the remaining inertia turns the jaw out of its grooves.

Direct punch to the throat area. Of course, it needs to be exposed first, because the chin gets in the way a little. It’s simple: a direct blow with a fist or the back of the hand to the area of ​​the nose, the enemy throws back his head - there is a double attack with vertical fists to the throat. Of course, such exposure is fatal.

Note the word "vertical" fists because fisting usually looks like a boxer's fist when the fist is horizontal and the elbows are pointing slightly to the sides. Strikes with a vertical fist are much faster (in the manner of . Has everyone seen the movie “Ip Man”? And Bruce Lee also preferred this form), especially if the index finger in the fists is not tucked like the rest, but is straightened and pressed against the palm thumb.

Point located on the edge of the jaw on a line running from the corner of the lip and down, with a very slight deviation from this line towards the ear. An impact in this zone, even the weakest, immediately makes itself felt, and if carried out “properly” it will fly, regardless of the enemy’s build.

To hit this point, you can use the base of your palm when you very clearly feel the support, the weight of the body, and without raising your shoulders in advance, so as not to give away your intentions. You can unexpectedly perform this blow and redistribute the force so that it goes straight through the elbow into the base of the palm, and from there, as if along an imaginary line of the spine, to the area between the back of the head and the ear of the other side of the body. Often, with such exposure, the cervical vertebrae also suffer. You can also use the center of the base of the palm in the manner of a sweeping strike with the arm secured in the elbow joint in the horizontal plane.

Of course, each blow is good for its own situation, but in this situation, the shape of the vertical fist is simply magnificent.

Center of the back of the head It is also a critical zone for life (slap on the back of the head - the head is buzzing. And you can hit it harder), if the skull is broken and other serious consequences. Yes, keep in mind that the photo shows the place where the blow is struck with your fingers, and not that you need to hit there with your fingers :)

If this does not happen, then exposure to this zone leads to loss of consciousness. The question remains: “How to strike the back of the head while in front of the enemy?” Answer: “With an original palm strike in the manner of catching the head.” As you can see, to carry out this effect, a close distance is required. Of course, you first need to practice this movement on some kind of simulators, for example, on a pole.

Kick performed along the neck with the edge of the palm upward, as in the first picture, towards the forehead, it allows you to break the first vertebra and displace it. If the blow is very good and powerful, then death will occur.

The second picture shows the most famous impact: a blow to the neck with the edge of the palm, directed perpendicularly relative to it.

A blow to the muscle bundle of the sternocleidomastoid muscle.

It is located under the ear down on the sternocleidomastoid muscle. The enemy goes “passed out.” When striking, the opponent's earlobe touches the surface of the palm, i.e., the blow must be delivered to the upper part of this muscle bundle.

You can hit either from the outside-in (then the palm is facing up) or from the inside-out (the palm is facing down).

Blows to the ears with correctly formed palms. Plus, this impact can be combined with pushing the enemy’s head away from you, movements of the thumbs, which, after carrying out attacks on the ears (the person is “led”, he becomes deaf, severe pain) are applied to the enemy’s eyes and repulsion is carried out by squeezing the enemy’s head away from the thumbs. myself.

A blow to the convex formation located behind the ear if there is a fracture in this part of the head, it is fatal. Of course, it is much easier to do this with an object.

A person has depressions at the back, on the neck, at the top. Probably everyone talks about them. So, hitting them turns off consciousness.

Of course, this also requires experience working on special simulators in order to learn how to strike with measured force.

Lateral catching on the nose from the side with a “leopard paw”. Of course, here you need to develop accuracy so that they don’t miss and the result will be good.

These were some vulnerable areas of the head.

Collarbone, which can be interrupted with a blade strike with the edge of the palm going slightly downwards, however in this case, the shoulder of the attacking hand itself must be raised, as in boxing, and even slightly higher, in order for the blow to enter the right place and with the right force. Don't raise your shoulder - there will be no strength, there will be no result.

It is necessary to remember the fact that if the strikes are prepared, the striking forms are well strengthened, and the ligaments are trained, then almost any area will be damaged, but to achieve such a level, of course, time is required and one should not believe any fairy tales that a “plastic fighting system” does not require training.

Also, the collarbone can be affected " with a hatchet» movement from above, if the hands are in a fighting position. It’s just an excellent form for quickly hitting the collarbones, which are much more difficult to break with the standard recommendation “with the edge of the palm from top to bottom, rubbing against the ear.”

« With a hatchet“you can break collarbones with bending movements of the hand, being both frontally in front of the enemy and to the side of him, and also if the enemy is in the “arms raised” stance, because this form can be bent under various sounds to the forearm, according to the current situation, as a result of which it has simply fantastic penetration, unlike other methods of influencing the collarbone, for example, with the edge of the palm from above.

As I already mentioned, in the collision situation under consideration, it is necessary to act along the shortest path, i.e., a straight line. This is precisely the previous method of influence and this method is carried out in a straight line, but in order to damage the collarbone with blows from the edge of the palm from above, you must first raise your hand, as a result of which the surprise factor is lost due to the lengthening of the trajectory.

Nerve center under the shoulder- the impact must be strong enough and then a fracture is possible. Located approximately where the shoulder muscles end and the biceps muscles begin.

Direct punch to the area of ​​the xiphoid process just above its center: about a hundred kilos of force is enough for a person to “swim”.

Only the blow should fall on the bone, and not on the part of the body covered by muscles, which greatly softens the impact. If the blow is not perpendicular, but directed upward, then this is a guaranteed death of the enemy.

About " Sun"everyone knows, as well as about blows in abdominal area. During training, you need to learn how to hit it very accurately (not necessarily with all your might - the area is sensitive) to determine the reaction of your partner after such an impact.

Knee strikes.

From the side and back along the 45 degree line, in the upper part of the thigh there is a very good knockout point, at which the blow is delivered with the knee, respectively, along the upward trajectory. It is easy to determine by inflicting controlled blows on yourself and your partner. To work “for sure”, you can strike several times in a row: in this area there are several similar points: at least one at a time, you’ll hit. You need to know this zone, if only because being on this side of the enemy, this zone often turns out to be more accessible to destruction than others.

And finally. If it suddenly happens that the situation is extremely serious, then you will need a “more significant” blow, or, simply put, “for slaughter.” In addition to the already mentioned strike with a vertical fist in the throat, especially in the series, such as “a blow with the back of the hand to the nose, the enemy throws his head away and you thrust two or three vertical blows with fists into the throat, I will give another one from the same series and it looks like a blow with the heel of the palm towards the nose, so that the elbow is directly perpendicular to the point of impact. In this blow, it is very important not to slip on the tip of the nose, but to enter exactly into the cartilage, which is driven into the head slightly, slightly upward to the back of the head.

With such impacts, it is extremely advisable to work with an object, because impacts with an unarmed hand, which is also poorly prepared, often lead to injury to the striker.

The opponent is in a certain stance, hands up, or simply grabbed you by the shoulder.

If the opponent is in a standing position, and you are still “thinking” what kind of things are going on here, then the most important thing to realize is the following: most likely, the opponent’s body will already be out of his hands, and we are not considering working from a sub-step here. In this case, you need to change your point of view and not work in a “standard” way: do not reach for the body, but look at what is within the reach of your hands. As a rule, these are the enemy’s hands exposed in a fighting position. So we will cripple them.

Moment one. If his hands are not clenched into fists, but are in a boat-type shape, then you can hit the nearest extended hand with the edge of your palm from above, with your finger from above. The fingers, of course, are immediately knocked out.

An additional bonus: often with such an impact, the palm additionally slips between the fingers, as a result of which not only the hand breaks, even outside the grip, but having done so, we additionally break his fingers. During training, it is necessary to work through all possible situations of such contact of the hands in slow battles in order to understand as many subtleties as possible.

Regardless of the shape of the hand of the exposed limb, if you have well-prepared hands, you can break the opponent's hands blows, delivering them in a “hatchet” shape to the back of the opponent’s hand. The impact is carried out along the midline of the hand. Footwork is important when you turn slightly in place with a slight bend in your torso and take a position where you can carry out such an impact with your hand. The impact involves body weight, which is key to a successful fracture.

With the arm extended, the effects on the nerve centers located below the arm from the elbow to the shoulder in the first, second, and third parts will also be effective. It is necessary to learn to identify these nerves in training, and to deliver blows that are almost weightless, because a strong impact can lead to injury. The zones are treated with blows of the fist when it is bent towards outside forearms.

Be careful with these nerve ganglia, since a strong blow to them leads to dire consequences, and even weak impacts to them are extremely unpleasant! When practicing, strike lightly and feel them not with “strength”, but with precision.

I repeat, the moments when the enemy is already striking are not discussed here, because when working at a “reaching” distance, defense is practically impossible, especially for beginners. This means that this situation is reminiscent of cowboy duels: whoever didn’t have time is late. That’s why vulnerable zones are outlined so that the enemy, after you carry out an attack, no longer flounders, but would only like to “crawl into the nearest bushes and die in peace.” Here we are talking about delivering strikes ahead of the curve through a specially developed sense, which suggests the optimal moment for delivering an undefeated blow, the feeling of the optimal moment. That is, someone used foul language and made threats, and in response you simply slapped him on the edge of his jaw - he was cut off. Well, or something like that

We injure the opponent's legs.

Kick to the groin. Well, there is no need to explain anything here. I mention it only because it’s “to the point.”

Coccyx area very well hit by a regular knee strike. Additionally, the enemy can be secured by shoulder grabs, which, additionally after the blow, will allow the enemy to be knocked to the floor with subsequent finishing.

Impact to the groin area contributes to the fact that the joint flies out of its place, and even carries the enemy in the direction of the blow, as a result of which he falls face down. This effect is very good to carry out especially if the opponent imposes a fight, that is, such a common situation when both take on each other, like wrestlers or judokas.

It is in this position that this pushing blow is carried out: as if outward to the side, into the area of ​​​​the groin contraction. That is, this is the most common kick with the foot turned outward, which they like to hit in the abdominal area. If during a strike the opponent is pulled towards himself, by grabbing him by the shoulders, for example, then injury to the opponent is guaranteed.

Knee cap. It moves easily in all directions and can also be damaged from all directions by knocking it out, for example, with a blow from the inside out and slightly upward, it is easy to knock it out of its original place. The blow is carried out both by the area under the toes and by the heel.

Fracture of the femur. For this effect, the knee strike must be delivered in the first third of the thigh, and even with the palm placed on top of the hip joint area in order to prevent the attacked part from escaping from the blow. With such a blow, the enemy is thrown up.

If the blow falls on the middle of the thigh, then the likelihood of a fracture is reduced many times, but the nerve center located in this area will be damaged.

The blow delivered along the line of the side below the kneecap is also interesting., especially if the leg is loaded with body weight.

You should also be aware of the effects on the foot, when it is in the position shown in the figure. The impact occurs along the foot into the ground. Injury will also occur in the case of other similar positions of the enemy’s foot, and this effect is extremely traumatic.

If the foot lies sideways on the ground, then in this case there will be multiple fractures. You can influence any part of the foot from above.

You can also work on the ankles from the inside with a certain laying movement. Exactly the same movement, only with the edge of the foot, is used in blows to the popliteal fold: a powerful “long” movement leads to the rupture of the popliteal fold ligaments and the bone coming out of the joint. We also remember about impacts with the edge of the foot in the ankle area - fractures.

Impact by thumb legs It flattens it very well.

If the opponent is on the ground and trying to get up, then he does it with his hands, right? You shouldn’t miss this opportunity and try to use kicks to hit the toes, joints, break it, break the bones.

As I already wrote on the blog, there are three approaches to working with the enemy. The first is to teach him to respect you with his knockout blows. The disadvantage of this approach is that people lack knowledge about competent strikes, the kind from which the results are felt immediately. As a result, literacy disappears and is replaced by force and blows “in the square.” The second approach is based on crippling actions and its goal is to cripple. Here it’s a little simpler, but still, very often some kind of sports “knots” and “twisting” are “knocked out”. And the actions can be even simpler. Well, the third approach: physical destruction. In principle, you should also know and be able to apply.

It is necessary, even before getting into such situations, to decide on an approach, although it can be changed in battle. Personally, I think the most optimal second approach: approach of causing minor injuries.

On the human body it is certain areas, characterized by the greatest sensitivity to damage. They are called painful because even the smallest blow to them causes serious pain, which is sometimes difficult to cope with, and points - because small areas these same areas of skin.

Why are they needed, and is it necessary to know them? Of course, it is not necessary for everyone to be familiar with them, but if you are a fighter and love not just to fight, but to win, then it is very necessary to know them! Knowing the answer to the question of where the pain points are on the human body, you can be sure that victory will be yours. So, let's get acquainted with the most effective pain points and learn how to apply this knowledge in practice.

The human body is a complex machine, sometimes called an artificial product (by some researchers). Perhaps there is a certain amount of fantasy in these words, but you can’t argue with a hint of truthfulness. It’s just that the stable operation of the center is responsible for the activity of all systems and organs, and when it fails, problems arise throughout the body.

By listening in time to all the signals coming from your body, you can avoid any serious complications. This is exactly how pain points on the human body function (the diagram will show this clearly).

The Chinese claim that on the body of each of us there are approximately 200 (or even more) pain points, in contrast to our specialists, whose estimates are much more modest (30 pieces). Now more specifically about each of them:

• The eyes are the most sensitive point and at the same time reliably protected by reflexes. By the way, reflexes can be easily deceived by hitting first in another place (as if to distract attention), and then exactly at the target.
• The nose is a painful point for both humans and every animal. Using a simple “plop” (at an angle to the back of the head) it is easy to break thin bones and cartilage. In self-defense, a blow to the nose will be an excellent assistant.
• Crown - a strong blow can cause shock and even a concussion.
• Temporal region - blows to the temple are especially dangerous, because they can even cause death. Pain in the temple area is so highly sensitive that it is advisable not to touch it at all. Unless you set out to kill an enemy, only in this case can you use such knowledge.
• The bridge of the nose - a precise blow to it (and it can be anything: a fist, an elbow, the edge of a palm, or even the head) can provoke shock and bleeding, and in some cases, loss of consciousness. If the impact force is very high, then the cartilage and nasal bone can pierce the brain - resulting in instant death. A blow to the bridge of the nose is a favorite of all action heroes, especially in the final battles.
• Chin - any blow causes loss of consciousness, shock and even concussion.
• The area of ​​the carotid arteries is a particularly sensitive point here. Due to blows to their area, a person experiences severe pain, shock, and even loss of consciousness. In general, a whole range of unforgettable sensations.
• Throat - this pain point is known to many, in particular the Adam's apple. It is in his area that it is better to aim if you want to deal a crushing blow to the enemy. Even a blow from a small child can stop an attacker. Remember this.
• The groin is a famous site of "persuasion." Probably each of us has heard about this, and maybe even checked it. The main pain points on the human body (meaning the male gender) are located just above the “male pride”, so hit inward and upward with maximum effort.
• Pain points on the arm and leg are the most accessible and successful targets. Strikes to each of them cause serious pain in the enemy. And if you apply all the force to the blow, you can provide the enemy with either a fracture.

As you can see, human bodies are quite vulnerable. And knowing how to hit and where to hit, you can become a winner in a fight with any fighter.

First of all, understand that six months of visiting the sambo or martial arts section does not guarantee you victory in a fight when attacked by a night robber. It is unlikely that a criminal who decides to go out into an unsafe fishery has less experience in fights than you.

Feeling like Bruce Lee, you only harm yourself by dulling your vigilance, even healthy fear for such situations, and as a result, you do not use the only opportunity that allows you to “make your feet.” In order to confidently confront a criminal, six months of martial arts training is not enough. Yes, perhaps even a year is not enough.

If you have already decided to master the secrets of the arts of hand-to-hand combat for the purpose of self-defense, do not strive to practice all the known techniques, for which, naturally, you will not have enough time or strength. As a result, you will know a lot and at the same time nothing. For a night fight, five or six blows, but brought to automaticity, are quite enough. Any person can do this. Preference should be given to the simplest and at the same time the most traumatic techniques. You can read about them in specialized literature, which is in abundance on every book counter today.

True, I must note that the theoretical study of self-defense techniques during an attack has never saved anyone. When attacked, during a real fight, a person who has no combat experience almost always gets lost and completely forgets where and how to hit. Hand-to-hand combat techniques only justify themselves when they have been repeated a thousand times during training. Then the fighter, when attacking and during the fight, acts in accordance not with reason, but with a developed conditioned reflex.

So, if you want to be able to defend yourself not imaginary, but for real, build from old clothes a dummy pear of your alleged enemy stuffed with rags; in extreme cases, draw his figure on the wall, mark three or four of the most vulnerable points and hit them with your hands and feet every day. Only in this case, in the event of an unexpected attack, will you be able to resist. Most of all, training on dummies is necessary to develop the habit of beating a living person. Where we don’t know how to hit hard, because we know how painful it is. Well, we are not capable of cutting the throat with the edge of the palm, driving the cartilage of the nose into the brain and gouging out the eyes with our fingers.

Our whole being resists such blows, and therefore at the very last moment our hand weakens and our outstretched fingers freeze before the open eyes of the enemy. It is possible to overcome this psychological barrier only by adopting methods of training in hand-to-hand combat techniques of special forces, that is, day after day, beating dummies and poking your fingers into the eyes drawn on paper tilted towards a pear. It is advisable to draw them very realistically, so that you gradually get used to not softening the force of the blow. Then, even if you are afraid of hurting a person, you will still hit with full force, the way your hand is used to.

Available pain points on the human body.

I will indicate the pain points that are most accessible to a non-specialist, which, if successfully reached, can cool the ardor of the attacking enemy for some time. Phalanges of toes, on which, during an attack, it is very convenient to hit from above with the heel of a shoe, and even more painfully - with the stiletto heel of a woman’s shoe. Shin, a sharp blow on which with the toe or heel of a hard boot is extremely sensitive. Groin. Such a blow can neutralize the man who attacked you for more than a minute. The pain from such a blow can incapacitate even the most experienced fighter. It’s only in the movies that after the enemy’s leg hits a given area, the hero, smiling charmingly, continues the fight.

A normal man will sit quietly on the ground for at least five minutes. And, by the way, his hands will be busy supporting the injured organ. It would be a sin not to take advantage of the moment and not “finish off” the villain with a blow to the open face. What, cruel? Then expose your organs and your face. But only then do not complain that the enemy, not appreciating your nobility, did not restrain his blows during the attack. In war it’s like in war. And attacking an initially weaker passerby at night is even worse than war. At least it is conducted according to certain rules.

Solar plexus. This blow is good, but it requires certain boxing skills, which theoretically, after reading this advice a hundred times, are not developed. Throat- the most unprotected part of the human body. But in order to hit it, it is advisable to force the enemy to raise his head. Look at the roof of the nearest building, widen your eyes, let out a cry of surprise, maybe your opponent will succumb to the trick and look up, for which he will raise his chin. Hit the open Adam's apple with your fist or the edge of your palm. A strong blow to the throat can be fatal.

A blow with a tightly clenched fist in the base of the nose or on the bridge of the nose. But such blows must be well placed. Punch in temple capable of instantly incapacitating an enemy. A strong blow can kill. Back of the head, or rather, top part neck. A hard blow with a fist or the edge of your palm to the base of the skull can not only immobilize, but kill your opponent. Eyes- the most vulnerable place. They are not protected by either muscles or skin. They are open to traumatic impact. An accurate attack can blind an opponent for hours, while a strong one can blind an opponent for life. You should hit with your middle and index fingers apart, your thumb, or your middle knuckles.

A sharp blow with the edge of the palm from bottom to top in upper lip causes severe pain and loss of consciousness, since at the base of the nasal cartilage there is a dense network of nerve endings. A strong blow from both sides with cupped hands ears causes the attacker to lose consciousness. It must be said that eyes, lips and ears are very sensitive to force during an attack. Something to remember during close combat, when it is impossible to strike from afar. For example, during attempts or strangulation, when the opponent came close or grabbed his victim with his arms.

In this case, only the eyes, lips and ears are potentially reachable. They should be hit. In the eyes - with your fingers. On the lips - with a fist or grab them with your fingers and pull down with all your strength. The same can be done with the ears. But it’s even better to push some sharp object into your ear - a hairpin pulled out of your hair, a pen, a key, etc. A damaged eardrum will cool the ardor of the most ferocious bandit. But the easiest and most effective way is to use your teeth rather than your fingers, especially since they, unlike your hands, will most likely be free. So you should grab them into the same lips, ears and nose. And grab it so tightly that you can even bite it off. You can use the back of your head as a powerful striking weapon.

For example, if the enemy grabbed you from behind during an attack. Hitting the bridge of someone else's nose with the back of your head is a very serious blow. Of course, if you have the courage to hit with all your might. In the same way, you can hit an opponent standing in front with your head. In the criminal environment, they are very fond of such surreptitious blows. And that means they will suit you. Feel free to use available tools. Pull out your pocket knife. Hit your face with sharp keys. The point of an umbrella. The cutting edges of a bottle broken on the asphalt, which you hold by the neck. Burn your enemy's skin with a burning cigarette. Or poke someone in the eye with the tip of a pen. Women can successfully use a hairpin as a weapon. Do you feel what the name is? Barrette. Well, use it for its intended purpose!

But! No matter what techniques of defense and attack you possess, no matter what weapon you prepare for battle, you should not show your skill ahead of time. If the enemy knows what to expect from you, combat skills lose their importance. No threats (I have four dans in my asset and a grenade in my pocket!), no warning attacks and defensive combat poses. On the contrary, pretend to be incompetent, relax the enemy with demonstratively stupid actions, convince him of your incompetence, let him open up quickly, without preliminary preparation, that is, without swings, combat stances, deliver a “deadly” blow.

Just don't look where you are going to strike. Do not warn him of your intentions if you do not want to run into a counterattack. Look somewhere to the side. And don't be silent! Shout “Hurray!”, “I’ll kill!”, “Police!” or something more articulate, but no less menacing! First, someone might hear you and call the police. Secondly, screaming is a means of psychological attack. If, of course, it has the tone of a threat, and not a request for mercy. Thirdly, your scream “turns you on”, sets you up for battle and victory. Convinces him of his own strength.

It’s not for nothing that most street fights begin with insults and screams that warm up the fighters. And it’s not without reason that in hand-to-hand martial arts the technique is accompanied by screams. Well, you scream too. It’s even easier to die that way. Than in deathly silence for you. If you manage to “drop” your opponent to the ground, do not wait for him to get up - go for the finish. I understand that such advice has little correlation with the officer’s code of honor and the unwritten rules of children’s yard fights, where they don’t beat someone who is down. And you will have to. And precisely the recumbent one. Until he stood up and laid you down on the vacant spot on the asphalt.

Finishing off a defeated enemy during an attack is one of the first rules of street fighting and hand-to-hand combat. Don't let the bandit who attacked you get up. Kick him at the most vulnerable points - in the face, stomach, groin. Beat him until he stops trying to get up. Strike, even if you have never laid a finger on a single person in your entire life. Then hit all the more. IN similar situation, as in battle - either you, or you. I just implore you - hit with full force, because if he gets up, you won’t be able to count on pity. They will already kill you. Bandits do not like to be hurt.

One or two with the maximum application of impact forces - and a quick retreat or finishing off an enemy who has not come to his senses. The middle, that is, waiting for him to come to his senses, is equal to defeat. Hit. Without fear of hurting your opponent. Remember that the Criminal Code gives you the right to self-defense. Up to killing the attacking party when attacking you. There is a known case when a farmer killed three racketeers who had come to receive “tribute” from him with a double-barreled shotgun and was released in peace. Remember that from the point of view of the law, the attacking party will be found guilty, even if the victim suffers more. Even if she is crippled.

Necessary self-defense when you are attacked.

But only when it attacks. And if he only threatens, and you respond to abuse and demonstration of fists with a crippling blow, then the Criminal Code no longer protects you, but your victim. And you turn from a victim into a criminal. This is a facet of the law that you need to know about so as not to suddenly end up on prison bunks. A citizen has the right to self-defense during an attack only in situations that clearly threaten his life and the lives of his loved ones. In all other cases, he cannot count on the leniency of the law.

As well as in cases where not random bricks, stakes, pen and kitchen knives, and firearms and bladed weapons prohibited by law, as well as grenades, grenade launchers, toxic substances, tanks and large-caliber artillery. What I must warn the reader about. However, when meeting a group of bandits in a dark alley, I recommend that you better not remember this law. So as not to weaken the force of the blow. Because the law, even in the worst case scenario, can send an unwitting killer to places not so distant for only a decade and a half. And the bandits are destined for the rest of their lives.

And now, I’ll tell you about one more, but this time a tragic incident. The French karate champion, winner of many belts, medals, etc., sports and combat honors, was killed by a young teenage hooligan with a blow to the back. What I mean is that you cannot consider your skill a panacea for all possible ills. You can lose.

In conclusion, I will cite a truly wise rule of the ancient eastern fighters: the battle won is the one that did not take place! And in addition, let me remind you of our domestic, perhaps not so sophisticated, but essentially accurate sentence: there is no trick against scrap! So try to win the fight without starting it. By following them, you will be more protected from surprises than even having a black belt in karate.

On the human body, it can be useful not only for guys who engage in any type of wrestling. At certain times in life, it can help women protect themselves.

About places

There are certain places on every person’s body where, if hit, they will experience the most severe pain. This knowledge is definitely taught to everyone who attends self-defense courses or masters some type of wrestling. But it is worth noting that many wrestlers are prohibited from using painful holds, because then it is simply not interesting to continue the fight, because the enemy breaks down very quickly. But before you master the art of attack, you need to learn how to protect your pain points.

Face

You can study pain points on the human body from top to bottom of the body. So where are they located on the face? First of all, these are the eyes. Even the slightest blow or simple poking of a finger into a given part of the body can put a person out of an active state for a certain period. And at this time you can either run away from the attacker or strike him. It's worth noting that a hit to the eyes will cause a person to instinctively move away, which will expose more of their torso. The next, stronger blows can be applied there to disarm the enemy. In addition to the eyes, the nose is a rather vulnerable place. A blow to this part of the body can also take the enemy out of the active state for a long time, causing him considerable harm.

Throat

When studying pain points on the human body, you should not miss such a place as the throat. This part of the body contains many nerve cells and the airways. A blow to the throat will cause great pain to a person. And if you apply a lot of force to the blow, you can even kill your opponent. There are also a couple of points behind the ears, pressing on which can be very painful.

Solar plexus

If you look at the pain points on the human body (diagram on the right), you can see the familiar solar plexus, which is a very vulnerable place. It is located slightly below the chest in a small depression that can be felt. However, it can be perfectly protected by pumped up abdominal muscles, so you shouldn’t rely too much on this pain point.

Hand

There are also pain points on the hand, namely the wrist. This part of the body consists of eight small bones and is called the sliding joint. And such a technique as striking joints is taught in almost all martial arts. By correctly twisting your opponent's wrist, you can deprive him of his weapon or make him feel pain.

One of the most painful pressure points is in the groin. And you shouldn’t think that only for men, striking women in the groin will bring about the same pain as for the representatives of the stronger sex. A strong blow to the groin can even kill the attacker.

Leg

There is also a special pain point on the leg - the kneecap. Due to its fragility, it breaks very easily and incapacitates the enemy. But it is worth remembering that the desired result will only be achieved by a top-down blow.

Results

There are other pain points on the human body. Their scheme is quite large and has a huge number of places to hit. However, the article lists exactly those that even an inexperienced fighter can get into.

There are many points on the human body, the impact of which can cause severe pain, partial paralysis and even severe damage, including death.

There are a lot of such zones on the human body, many of them are prudently hidden by nature from easy access. However, many remained on the surface. Of course, the complete art of hitting pain points is a whole science that can be studied for more than one year. In order to use self-defense, it is enough to know and be able to accurately hit only a few basic ones.

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.

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 strikes the cervical 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.

Punch to the chin.

If you draw a straight line from the corner of your mouth, a certain perpendicular downwards. Then, intersecting with the line of the chin, an amazing point of defeat will be identified. Its property is that if even a light blow is applied to it in the direction of the cervical vertebra, it will cause a knockout effect.

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 heavy bleeding and difficulty breathing. In addition, a blow to the nose is very painful and impairs vision.

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 the eardrum can stun the opponent.

A blow to the eye.

The eye is one of the most vulnerable places on the human body. Even a slight poke in the eye with a finger can temporarily blind a person and cause him severe pain. The elasticity of the eye allows it not to be damaged even with deep pressure, therefore a dosed, but strong enough force can deprive the enemy of resistance, but will not deprive him of life or vision. Of course, there is a risk, the effort in this case cannot be accurately calculated, but nevertheless, when saving your life, you should not worry about the health of the aggressor.

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 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 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 area, 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 can cause a 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 slight blow to this area will cause very severe pain. A strong blow can rupture the bladder and cause shock.

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.

Hit on outside 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.

Hit on inside 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.
