This is a guide to pressure point striking for the average martial
artist. Sang H Kim demystifies the lore of vital point striking and
shows you realistic applications of vital point strikes for
self-defense and combat sports. For those new to the concept of
vital points, he begins by examining the Eastern theory of
acupoints, meridians and ki (qi) and the Western scientific
concepts of the nervous and circulatory systems, pain threshold and
pain tolerance, and the relationship between pain and fear. This
synthesis of accepted Eastern and Western theories helps the reader
understand what makes vital point striking work and why it can be
not only useful in fighting, but deadly. Based on this
introduction, you will learn about 202 vital points for use in
fighting including the name, point number, location, involved
nerves and blood vessels, applicable techniques, sample
applications, and potential results for each point.The points are
illustrated in detail on an anatomically correct human model, with
English, Chinese, and Korean names as well as point numbers for
easy reference. In addition to identifying the vital points, Sang
H.Kim gives you detailed information about the type of techniques
that work for vital point striking including a discussion of
fighting zones and ranges, plexus strikes, stance and footwork,
bodily weapons, striking directions and angles and dozens of
applications for common empty hand, grappling, groundfighting,
knife and gun attacks. Based on over thirty years experience in the
martial arts and in-depth research, Sang H. Kim has created one of
the most complete books available on the art and science of vital
point striking.
