Elbow lock by pressing against the body (Fig. 3-18)
The opponent's elbow can be fixed by pressing against the fighter's body. To do this, the fighter rotates his body so as to put his elbow in a position in which he will not be able to move. In this position, the opponent's elbow can be easily broken.
Rice. 3–18
Elbow lever over the knee (fig. 3-19)
In the process of fighting on the ground, a fighter can gain control of the situation if he manages to use the elbow lever against the opponent. A fighter can use his knee as a fulcrum to control the opponent and, with further resistance, he can break his arm at the elbow.
Rice. 3–19
Shoulder Arm Lever (Figure 3-20)
This technique can be performed by taking the elbow joint on the lever over the shoulder with pressure applied to the wrist.
Rice. 3–20
Shoulder dislocation (Figure 3-21)
In the process of maneuvering in hand-to-hand combat, when the opponent starts a punch, the fighter can take a position from which he can dislocate the shoulder of the opponent (pos. 1). The fighter approaches and places his other hand behind the fist of the striking hand (pos. 2). He strikes down into the opponent's elbow to create a bend, and with a further movement twists the shoulder joint, and thus the opponent is out of action. (pos. 3).
Rice. 3–21
Dislocation of the shoulder with a straight arm (Fig. 3-22)
The fighter can also injure (dislocate) the opponent's shoulder by holding his elbow straight and raising his arm about 45°. Arching the wrist toward the elbow helps lock the elbow.
Such an impact forces the opponent to lower his head down, which makes it possible to strike with a knee in the face.
Rice. 3–22
Being captured (pos. 1), the fighter puts his hand to the bend of the opponent's elbow and grabs his arm (pos. 2). With pressure on the opponent's elbow (pos. 3) the shoulder will be dislocated and the opponent will lose his balance.
Rice. 3–23
The opponent's knee joint can also be attacked. The attack shown in the figure can lead to damage to the knee: its dislocation or fracture of the bones that form the articular joint.

Section 4hand-to-hand combat medium distance
In a medium-range fight, two opponents are within enough contact to defeat each other. short strokes fist, elbows and knees. The fighter uses his peripheral vision for goal evaluation. He must be aggressive and concentrate his attack on the vital points on the opponent's body in order to end the duel as soon as possible.
In terms of impact damage, the human body can be divided into three zones (pos. A): top, middle and bottom. Each affected area contains vital or vulnerable points. (pos. A, B)- places on the human body that are most sensitive to shock.
Rice. 4.1. Vulnerable points of the human body: 1 - crown; 2 - forehead; 3 - temple; 4 - eyes; 5 - ears; 6 - nose; 7 - lip groove; 8 - jaw; 9 - chin; 10 - behind the ear; 11 - base of the skull; 12 - throat; 13 - interclavicular cavity ("fossa"); 14 - neck; 15 - side of the neck; 16 - anterior shoulder muscle; 17 - shoulder joint; 18 - clavicle; 19 - armpit; 20 - spine; 21 - nipples; 22 - heart; 23 - celiac plexus; 24 - diaphragm; 25 - floating ribs; 26 - kidneys; 27 - belly below the navel; 28 - biceps; 29 - muscle of the forearm; 30 - the back of the hands; 31 - groin; 32 - outer side of the thigh; 33- inner side hips; 34 - hamstring; 35 - knee; 36 - caviar; 37 - lower leg; 38 - Achilles tendon; 39 - ankle; 40 - rise
A strong blow to any part of the body causes a sharp pain in a person. However, the severe pain that you cause in a dangerous enemy can only embitter him and not only will not weaken his warlike ardor, but, on the contrary, will give him strength. Therefore, blows should be delivered not just “on the body”, but on its vulnerable points - places, the defeat of which will disable the enemy for at least a few seconds, which will allow you to immediately carry out a decisive attack. Such places include nerve nodes, large blood vessels, fragile bones, joints. Their defeat will entail significant negative consequences for the enemy: pain shock, groggy state (short-term stun), loss of consciousness or death.
Knowledge of these places, the ability to hit them, the aggressiveness and confidence of your actions will ensure you victory over the enemy in hand-to-hand combat.
Master martial arts can reliably incapacitate the enemy or even kill him with an accurate blow with one finger at a certain vulnerable point. However, in order to master such a skill, special long-term training is required, which is not carried out in the GRU special forces. Therefore, in real hand-to-hand combat, a weak and accurate blow to a given vulnerable point with one finger (which can be broken in case of an unsuccessful blow) is replaced by a powerful blow with a fist or other striking surface. (pos. C)"by area", i.e., approximately at the place where this point is located. Thus, we can say that the inaccuracy of hitting the “point” is compensated by its force, which is enough to hit the vulnerable point located in this place, which falls under the impact surface. The location of vulnerable spots and the effect of striking them are presented below.
Upper zone. This zone includes the most life-threatening areas of injury - the head and neck.
1 – top of the head (top part heads). In this place there is a connection of the cranial bones and the skull is weak. A palpable blow to the top of the head causes trauma resulting in loss of consciousness or hemorrhage, and swipe to this place can lead to death.
2 – forehead. A palpable blow here can cause loss of consciousness; a strong blow can lead to cerebral hemorrhage and death.
3 – temple. The bones of the skull in the temple are very weak. A strong blow to the temple can cause loss of consciousness and concussion. When the cephalic artery ruptures, the resulting severe hemorrhage compresses the brain, causing coma or death. A blow to the temple can be delivered with the knuckle of the index finger, the base of the fist, the phalanx of the bent thumb, or the elbow (if the opponent is short).
4 – eyes. A slight blow to the eyes with fingers causes uncontrollable tearing and blurred vision. A tangible blow or poke can cause temporary blindness or severe eye damage.
5 – ears. The most effective is a simultaneous blow to the ears with "boats" - the palms of both hands, each of which is cupped. As a result, the enemy will experience pain shock, dizziness, nausea. And since, in addition to the hearing organs, this zone also contains the vestibular apparatus responsible for balance, as a result of the blow, the enemy will lose orientation in space. A moderate blow to the ear can cause a concussion. With a stronger impact, the eardrums may burst, and internal cerebral hemorrhage with a fatal outcome is also possible.
A blow to one ear can be performed with the edge of the palm, the knuckles of the fist, its base or elbow.
6 – nose. Any blow can easily break the delicate bones of the nose, causing extreme pain and tearing.
7 – gutter , or the root of the nose (a place under the nose). A blow to a ganglion that comes close to the surface under the nose can cause severe pain and tearing.
8 – jaw. A blow to the jaw can break it. If facial nerve will be clamped by the lower jaw, one side of the face will be paralyzed.
9 – chin. A blow to the chin can cause paralysis, concussion, and loss of consciousness. The main methods of defeat are: a punch from the bottom up, right under the lower jaw (uppercut), an elbow strike from the side or from below, a short straight punch with the base of the palm. The last punch is preferable to a punch, because if you hit the chin with a fist, you can break your hand at the wrist joint.
10 – behind the ear area. A medium-strength impact to this location may cause loss of consciousness. A strong blow can lead to concussion or brain hemorrhage and death.
11 – base of skull (nape). This is where the neck joins the skull. A medium-strength blow with the edge of the palm, its base, fist, elbow in this place is accompanied by acute pain, loss of orientation, and semi-consciousness. A strong blow displaces the cervical vertebrae, infringes or tears the spinal cord, which can lead to death.
12 – throat (Adam's apple, or Adam's apple). They hit this place with the edge of the palm or its base (if the opponent’s head is thrown back up). A light blow causes acute pain and suffocation. Consciousness may remain, but the enemy will lose the ability to take action for a period of time from fifteen seconds to a minute. A stronger impact entails profuse bleeding from the mouth, pain shock and loss of consciousness or fracture of the thyroid cartilage, rupture of the windpipe, and death.
13 – interclavicular cavity ("hole"). It is located below the Adam's apple, between the collarbones. There are practically no muscles here, so even a weak blow injures the trachea, which is accompanied by a strong cough, tearing, and a feeling of suffocation. A strong impact in this place causes throat bleeding, respiratory arrest, loss of consciousness and possible death. A blow to the interclavicular cavity is applied with the thumb.
14 – neck. A strong blow to the back of the neck can cause a tear cervical regions spine, which completely paralyzes the enemy.
15 – side of the neck. This place is one of the best used to neutralize the enemy. A blow to the side of the neck causes muscle spasms and sharp pain. As a result of even a weak blow with an edge or the base of the palm, a fist, an elbow, a person's blood pressure drops, breathing becomes difficult, orientation in space is disturbed. A stronger blow causes loss of consciousness as a result of damage to the carotid artery, jugular vein, or vagus nerve.
For maximum effect the blow must be struck below and slightly in front of the ear.
Middle zone. This zone extends from the shoulders to the top of the thighs. Unlike the upper zone, where any hard blow can be fatal, many blows to the middle zone are not fatal, but can have serious long-term complications, from external injuries to very serious damage to the internal organs and spine.
16 – anterior shoulder muscle. A large ganglion passes in front of the shoulder joint. A palpable blow to this area causes extreme pain and can disable the hand.
17 – shoulder joint . The anatomical features of this joint make it one of the most vulnerable places. human body. relatively weak, but sharp blow in the shoulder in front or behind quite easily leads to dislocation. A blow to the shoulder from above causes (depending on the strength of the blow) acute pain, muscle numbness, torn ligaments or intramuscular bleeding.
18 – collarbone. A blow to the collarbone can break it, causing severe pain and disabling the arm on the side of the fracture. Even from a weak blow to the collarbone, a person experiences acute pain, and in order to break it, a medium-strength blow is required. The blow is applied with the edge or base of the palm, bottom fist, head or elbow. With a broken collarbone, the opponent will not be able to hit hard with the other hand, and even with his legs. With stronger blows, the clavicle does not just break, but is completely destroyed and injures the tops of the lungs, bronchi, and large blood vessels with its fragments.
19 – armpit. Many nerve endings come close to the skin of each armpit, and a blow to the armpit causes severe pain and partial paralysis of the affected arm. A stab in the armpit with a knife is fatal, because it cuts the main artery going to the heart.
20 – spine. Any blows to the spine with the edge and base of the palm, fist, and even more so with such powerful shock parts as the head, elbow, knee, foot, are extremely painful and very dangerous. With a weak blow, a person feels a sharp pain, for a short time depriving him of the ability to continue the fight. A strong blow to the spine can sever the spinal cord, leading to paralysis or death.
21 – nipples. There is a large nerve network in the region of the nipples. A blow here can cause extreme pain.
22 – heart. A medium-strength blow to the chest where the heart is located can stun the opponent and give the fighter time to continue the attack or finish the move. This place is located just below the left nipple. With a strong blow to the heart area, it can stop, which will lead to instant death.
23 – celiac (solar) plexus. This place is the center of the nerve endings that control the cardiopulmonary system. It is located directly below the xiphoid process of the sternum. It is possible to hit him with an elbow, knee, fist or the base of the palm. Hitting this spot is painful and can disrupt the opponent's breathing. A relatively weak blow to the celiac plexus causes acute pain, temporary cessation of breathing, reflex inhibition of the heart, a drop in blood pressure and, as a result, a fainting state. The person bends in half and for one or two minutes loses the ability to move. A strong blow here causes suffocation, loss of consciousness and can also damage internal organs. A strong blow directed from the bottom up can lead to death.
24 – diaphragm (lower chest). A blow to the bottom of the ribs can cause the diaphragm and other muscles that control breathing to relax. This causes loss of breath and can lead to loss of consciousness.
25 – floating ribs. Basic bones that give shape chest, are ribs, which are 24 long and narrow bones attached from the back to the spinal column. The seven pairs of upper ribs are called true ribs; these ribs articulate with the sternum with the help of the corresponding cartilage. The lower five pairs, or false ribs, do not articulate directly with the sternum, they are connected to each other by their cartilages, and the eleventh and twelfth pair of ribs are called floating, or oscillating ribs, because they are free throughout their length. A blow to the floating ribs can easily break them because they are not attached to the ribcage. Broken ribs on the right side can cause internal liver injury; broken ribs on both sides can cause lung damage. Hits to the lower ribs can be delivered with anything: the knee, foot, elbow, fist, base or edge of the palm.
26 – kidneys. The kidney is a very sensitive organ. In addition, in the place where it is located, under the very skin of the back, a large nerve passes - a branch from spinal cord. Therefore, even light blow in the region of the kidneys is accompanied by acute pain. A moderate blow to the kidneys can cause shock and can lead to internal damage to these organs. A severe blow to the kidneys causes instant shock and can cause death from severe internal bleeding.
Strikes to the kidney area can be made both with hands and feet, elbows, knees and head.
27 – belly below the navel. A hard blow to the area below the navel and above the groin can cause shock, unconsciousness, and internal bleeding.
28 – biceps. A strong blow to the biceps is very painful and disables the arm. The bicep is a particularly good target when the opponent is holding a weapon.
29 – forearm muscle. The radial nerve, which governs most motor functions hands, runs along the forearm. A strong blow to the radial nerve disables the hand. Thus, with a blow to the forearm, the opponent can be disarmed.
30 – back sides of the hands. The backs of the hands are very sensitive. A blow to them is very painful, while the small bones of the hand can be easily broken, thus disabling the hand.
Lower zone. The lower zone includes the entire area of the human body below the groin. Although blows to this area are rarely lethal, some of them can reliably incapacitate an opponent.
31 – groin. Even a moderate blow to the groin causes intense pain and can incapacitate an opponent. A strong blow to the groin can lead to loss of consciousness and shock. A blow to this place can be done with anything - the toe and instep of the foot, the heel, the knee, the fist, the rib and the base of the palm.
32 – outer thigh. Near the surface of the outer side of the thigh (approximately four fingers wide above the knee) runs a large nerve. Therefore, a strong blow to the outside of the thigh can disable the leg, knocking the opponent down. This target is especially suitable for knee and shin strikes.
33 – inner thigh. in the middle inner thigh a large nerve runs along the bone. Accordingly, a blow to this area also incapacitates the leg and can knock down the opponent. Knee and heel strikes are suitable for hitting this area.
34 – hamstring. A strong blow to the hamstring can cause muscle cramps and limit the mobility of the leg, up to its complete shutdown.
35 – knee. Since the knee is the main structural element of support for the whole body, damage to this joint will especially hurt the opponent. The knee can be easily injured if attacked at an angle opposed to the normal direction of joint flexion. The knee is the best target for lower level kicks. It is convenient to hit him from all sides, with any part of the foot, at any angle (top down, bottom up, horizontally).
Relatively weak blows to the knee cause acute pain. A blow of medium strength from behind (into the popliteal fold) is also accompanied by acute pain and partial destruction of the joint. A stronger impact leads to rupture of the knee ligaments, fragmentation of cartilage, dislocation or fracture of the bones that form the articular joint.
36 – caviar (back of leg). A strong blow to the top of the calf causes painful muscle cramps and limits the mobility of the leg.
37 – shin. A moderate blow to the shin causes severe pain, especially when hit by a hard object. The small and large tibias located here are almost not covered by muscles, so the pain from a blow to them permeates the entire body. You can attack the lower leg both with the inside and outside of the foot (with a hard edge of your shoes). It is also possible to strike with the heel (heel) and the sole. A blow of medium strength entails a painful shock up to loss of consciousness, a crack or fracture of a bone. A strong blow can break the lower leg bone, which supports most of the body's weight. The direction of blows to the lower leg is mainly from the front or from the side. An attack from behind on a leg loaded at that moment with body weight can cause temporary paralysis of the calf muscle.
38 – Achilles tendon. A hard heel strike on the Achilles tendon can cause an ankle sprain and leg stiffness. And if the tendon is torn, the enemy is disabled. Achilles tendon - good target to attack with a knife.
39 – ankle. A blow to the ankle hurts; with a strong blow, the ankle can be dislocated or broken, thus depriving the opponent of mobility.
40 – climb. A kick in the ascent will also impede the mobility of the enemy. Relatively weak blows to the ankle joint cause acute pain and deprive the opponent of the opportunity to actively work with the foot. A stronger impact leads to the destruction of the small bones of the foot, causes a crack or fracture of the lower end of the tibia (small or large, depending on which side the blow is applied from). A strong blow from behind at the level of the instep of the foot can rupture the Achilles tendon.
Effectively striking the enemy's vital points is essential to a winning result in hand-to-hand combat. A fighter must be able to use the principles of maximum striking if he is to fight to the death in a duel.
Punch to the celiac plexus (Fig. 4-2)
A punch to the celiac plexus is used by a fighter in close combat when the enemy rushes forward and tries to capture him. The fighter can then continue the attack with a groin knee or other incapacitating blows to vital points.
Rice. 4–2
Throat Thumb (Figure 4-3)
A blow to the throat with the thumb is very efficient technique, when the opponent rushes forward or tries to grab the fighter. He throws forward his right fist with his thumb extended in the form of a beak and hits the opponent in the larynx, keeping his left hand raised for protection.
There are a lot of pain points on the human body, a blow to which can be not only painful, but also fatal. Among the most vulnerable places it should be noted: ears, temple, eyes, nose, upper lip, chin, Adam's apple, base of the pharynx, back of the head; clavicle, armpits, solar plexus, abdomen, perineum, false rib, kidneys, spinal column; fingers, wrist, elbow, shoulder, knee, ankle, leg instep. I would like to warn you that not even a strong, but accurate blow to the above places can be fatal. This should be remembered during training, when you spar with comrades.
A blow to the head or neck
First, you need to fold your fingers in the shape of a cup and hit the opponent's ears hard. Remember that this technique can cause damage to the eardrums, internal hemorrhage, or a nervous shock.
blow to the temple
If you strike the temple with the edge of the palm or with the pad of the fist, it is possible death or a severe concussion. In this place, the bones of the skull are extremely thin, and the nerve and artery are placed close to the skin. Fighters strike in this area of the head and elbow joint. And when they manage to knock down an opponent, it is enough to hit with the toe of the foot.
Punch in the eyes
Bring your middle and index fingers together in a "Y" shape and strike hard. It is important to keep your wrist and fingers straight at this moment. Note that there are several ways to strike at the eyes.
A blow to the nose
You need to beat with the edge of the palm in the area of \u200b\u200bthe bridge of the nose. A sharp blow allows you to crush the cartilage, fragments of which can damage the brain, which can lead to instant death.
Hit on the upper lip
The upper lip is one of the most vulnerable places on the human body. Here, the nasal cartilage connects to the bones of the skull, and the nerves are located near the skin. Hit with the edge of the palm, slightly tilting it up. A strong blow can cause a concussion, and a weak one will cause severe pain.
Chin punch
It is most effective to hit this area of the head with the base of the palm. If you use your fist, you can break your arm.
Strike in the Adam's apple
The edge of the palm is also used. With a strong blow, the windpipe can rupture and be fatal. A weak blow will cause suffocation. You can also squeeze the windpipe with your fingers and rip it out. You can still hit the Adam's apple with the knee joint, the toe of the foot.
A blow to the base of the throat
If you hit with 1 or 2 fingers in the dimple at the base of the throat, then the enemy will be incapacitated very quickly. This is a very painful technique that causes coughing and choking.
Hit on the side of the neck
Use the edge of the palm and you can knock out the opponent's consciousness. It is necessary to beat below and slightly in front of the ear. This is not a fatal blow, but it is capable of causing loss of consciousness.
Hit on the back of the head
If you hit with the edge of the palm, then instant death may occur or a displacement of the cervical vertebrae will occur. When the enemy is unfamiliar with the basics hand-to-hand combat, then you can beat with the outer edge of the fist.
Collarbone strike
If you hit the collarbone hard with the edge of your hand, then it can be broken quite easily. When the opponent is below you, strike with a bent elbow joint.
A blow to the solar plexus
It is located under the sternum and a “pointed fist” strike will be more effective in comparison with the edge of the palm. The enemy will feel severe pain and kneel down. A sharp and strong blow to this area of the body can be fatal.
Armpit punch
Here a large nerve comes close to the skin and good hit able to neutralize the enemy for a while.
Stab in the stomach
Strike with a "small fist" and immobilize the enemy. If he begins to lean forward, you can hit the knee in the face or the edge of the palm in the back of the head. It is most effective to strike in the stomach with the foot or knuckles.
Kick in the crotch
The crotch is the most convenient place on the opponent's body to hit. You can beat with the knee or elbow joint, leg, fist. After that, it will be permanently disabled.
Kidney kick
Another area in which a large nerve is located at the very surface of the skin. If hit hard, death is possible if urgent medical care is not provided. You can strike with the edge of the fist or palm, knee joint, toe.
False edge hit
If you hit in this area of the body, you can paralyze or even kill your opponent. Strike three or four inches above the waist. This is the most vulnerable part of the spinal column.
Finger grip
If you are grabbed from behind, and the opponent’s hands are located under the armpits, you need to firmly grab his fingers with one hand, and take the wrist with the other. While squeezing your wrist, simultaneously pull your fingers back sharply. This will not only get rid of the grip, but also disable the opponent's fingers.
Incapacitation of the wrist
Sharply take your wrist to any side, the enemy will feel severe pain. Your thumbs for this should be on the back of the enemy's hand. It is necessary to remove the wrist at an angle of 90 degrees relative to the forearm.
Elbow lesion
The elbow is a very weak point that can be easily injured. Grab the opponent by the forearm or wrist and deliver a strong blow to the elbow, sharply pulling the arm back.
Dislocation shoulder joint
Having knocked down the enemy, rest your knee joint against his collarbone and, turning your arm back, you can dislocate the shoulder joint. If in such a situation a strong blow is applied to the spinal column, then a fatal outcome is possible.
Impact to the knee joint
Hit the patella or the side of the knee with the toe of the foot. So you can immobilize the enemy, crushing the cartilage and damaging the ligaments. If you strike from behind on the popliteal cavity, then the enemy will be immobilized.
Ankle kick
Do not use your toe to strike this part of the body. It can slip off, and no harm will be done to the enemy. Hit only with the edge of the foot perpendicular outer surface ankles.
Instep kick
Strike with the edge of the boot on the instep of the foot of the opponent's leg of the same name. This will damage the bones and protect against a blow to the perineum.

By Fabiosa
In the world of martial arts, it is customary to dream of a super move that no opponent can defend against. This technique will knock down any opponent, regardless of his training. And will be a guardian angel for those who own it.
Many people think that there are no such methods. Allegedly, if they were, who owns such a technique would have beaten everyone long ago. Others rightly say that such tricks are kept secret. They are opened after many years of preparation to the most devoted students. Any master has several such secrets. And these are pain points.
Why do you, a civilian, you ask? For self-defense. If you press one or a couple of these points on the body of the attacker with all your might, you will be able to stand up for yourself.
We bring to your attention 12 pain points on the human body. We hope you never have to deal with those who want to harm you. But it's better to know about them, isn't it?
Punch in the eyes
The eye is one of the most vulnerable places on the human body. Not even a strong "poke" with a finger in the eye can blind a person for a while and cause him severe pain. The elasticity of the eye allows it not to be damaged even with deep pressure, so a dosed, but strong enough effort can deprive the enemy of resistance, but will not deprive him of life or vision. Of course, there is a risk, in this case it is impossible to accurately calculate the effort, but, nevertheless, saving your life, you should not worry about the health of the aggressor.
Blow or slap on the ears, neck area
Near the ears are many blood vessels and nerves. A blow to the ears is not only very painful, but also leads to damage to the outer ear and eardrum.
Chopping blow to the back of the neck
This point is located near the third vertebra of the neck. A weak blow to it causes a displacement of the vertebrae, which as a result put pressure on the spinal cord. A medium-strength strike knocks out the opponent and can lead to serious complications.
A blow to the Adam's apple or below
Any adult can take his opponent to the “other world” with his action directed to the throat, it does not require much strength, just a poke in a certain direction. But this is science for the special forces, who have to engage in deadly duels. And it is enough for a "mere mortal" to know that, for example, a slight slap on the Adam's apple with your fingers will stop any attacker, because. in this place there are no muscles that cover the cartilage.
Blow 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 plexus causes severe pain in the walls of the stomach, difficulty breathing. The enemy loses the ability to defend himself. A strong blow can lead to bleeding in the stomach, heart failure, liver rupture, internal bleeding, unconsciousness and, in some cases, even death.
Hands
Human hands are dotted with many nerve endings. If you strongly squeeze the area between the opponent's fingers, then he is very likely to lose his composure and loosen his grip.
Kidney kick
The kidneys are very close to the back wall of the abdominal cavity. From an anatomical point of view, the kidneys are not protected by ribs and are very vulnerable. When struck, there is severe pain, possible rupture of the kidneys, profuse bleeding.
A blow to the stomach
This place is located just below the sternum. Nearby are vital organs (heart, liver, stomach). Here is the largest cluster of nerves. There are no ribs in this area, so it turns out to be unprotected and a blow to it produces a very strong pain effect. Pain shock, shortness of breath, gastric bleeding, interruptions in the work of the heart, loss of consciousness - this is not a complete list of the consequences of such a blow.
Kick or hand to the crotch
Many nerves pass through this point, and the genitals and the bladder are located above. A light blow to this area will cause very severe pain. A strong blow can rupture the bladder and cause shock.
Hit under the kneecap.
A blow to this area causes severe pain. The greatest efficiency occurs when the supporting limb, on which the weight of the body is concentrated, is attacked. The result of such an impact will be damage to the tissues under the fibula and tibia, as well as the sciatic nerve.
A blow to the tarsus
If the tarsal bone is damaged, it will not only be difficult for the opponent to walk, but even to stand. This is a great way to self-defense against a large opponent. Attack him by actively "stepping on" and stomping on his feet. Heels here will be very out of place.

7. Vulnerable areas of the body
I love the brave; but it's not enough to be a grunt, -
you also need to know who to cut!
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is well known that a strong blow with a hand or foot causes sharp pain and extensive bruising in any part of the body. However, in a brutal fight (especially with multiple opponents), non-targeted area attacks are an unacceptable luxury. Oznobishin stated the following on this occasion: “The strategy of a serious battle does not pursue the task of simply “hurting” the enemy: if the latter is dangerous, then the effect of pain will only cause despair and anger, which will multiply his strength tenfold. The strategy requires bringing the enemy into a state of impossibility to resist. *
Therefore, the targets for your blows should be not only what, but the most vulnerable places of the human body. These are nerve nodes, large blood vessels, fragile bones, joints. Their defeat - on the one hand - does not require great strength, on the other - inevitably entails significant consequences. These can be: pain shock; semi-conscious state (what in boxing is called "groggy"); loss of consciousness; mechanical injury (dislocation, fracture, bleeding, rupture of muscles or ligaments); death. As a result, the enemy loses the ability to continue the fight for a period of time from a few seconds to infinity.
Before proceeding further with this issue, I would like to make two clarifications. First, I'm talking about punches here, not weapons. Indeed, to be hit by stabbing, cutting, chopping objects, our body is vulnerable anywhere from the top of the head to the heels. Secondly, for now I am only talking about blows and do not touch on such methods of influence as biting, pinching, twisting, leverage.
Among experts there is no consensus on the total number of vulnerabilities on the human body. For example, Chinese masters distinguish about 200 nerve points that are highly sensitive to poking and pressing with fingers. The specificity of this technique is that the impact on these points requires minimal effort, but gives maximum results: a person experiences severe pain, or his arms and legs seem to be paralyzed, or he instantly loses consciousness.
It would seem, what more could you want?! Learn the location of two or three dozen such points, learn to hit them with the fingers of both hands, and you're done! You will become a very dangerous subject. However, everything is not so simple. First, most of the nerve points vulnerable to finger damage are almost always covered by clothing. Only those who have passed special training. Secondly, to defeat even a naked body, one must also have well-hardened (“stuffed”) fingers, otherwise their dislocation or fracture is guaranteed. Thirdly, in the course of a street brawl, its participants usually fail to instantly determine the exact location of these points, since the position of the torso and limbs of each of the fighters is constantly changing, and their attention is scattered.
Where is the exit? It is not to attack microscopic nerve points, but rather large areas of the body and to do this with a more massive weapon than fingers. As for such zones, the devastating consequences are caused by hitting any point throughout their area. By "massive" weapons, I mean the base and edge of the palm, elbow, knee, foot, head, fist, and fingers, but brought together like a beak or a knife.
By bringing together tables, lists and anatomical diagrams from manuals on hand-to-hand combat for special forces, I identified 30 "targets" that are indicated more often than others, and the destructive effect on which, in fact, does not require special force: enough that is inherent in a teenager 14-15 years old.
These targets are arranged in the order determined by their availability. The most vulnerable part of the body, of course, is the head, but it is more difficult to get to it than to the legs or groin, especially if there are several opponents and they are taller (and I take this situation as a basis). Therefore, the sequence for selecting targets for attack is as follows: legs from the feet to the knees, the center line of the body in front, the body on the sides, head, the center line of the body in the back, hands.
If you are armed, then the hands become the number one target. The explanation here is simple. Whatever the aggressor tries to do with you, he does it with his hands - he grabs them, pushes, beats, strangles, brandishes a knife or a stick ... Therefore, crushing his fingers, breaking his forearm, deeply cutting or piercing the back of his hand, you will reliably bring out him out of order. However, without weapons, it is hardly possible to cause any serious damage to the hands of the attacker, unless you are a master of sports in sambo. For example, it was possible to catch the massive forearm of a gorilla-like "umbal". Try to break it with “one sharp movement”, as the authors of some manuals recommend: there will not be enough strength ...
So, I will list the affected areas that combine the 30 targets mentioned above (together with the paired ones there will be more, not 30, but 45):
1) ankle joint - lower leg;
2) knee joint;
3) perineum - lower abdomen;
4) solar plexus - cardiac plexus;
5) interclavicular cavity - throat - chin;
6) hypochondrium - ribs;
7) clavicle - side part neck;
8) upper lip - the base of the nose;
9) nose bridge - eyes;
10) temple - ear;
11) nape - the seventh cervical vertebra;
12) between the shoulder blades - the central part of the spine;
13) lower back - kidneys;
14) elbow - armpit - shoulder;
15) fingers.
As for some other parts of the body, often called "vulnerable", they, in my opinion, do not meet the main requirement - to cause severe pain in case of injury and incapacitate a person for at least a few seconds.
Let us now consider the consequences that take place as a result of limb strikes on the targets listed here.
1. ANKLE JOINT ("LIFT" OF THE FOOT)
It is affected by a “trampling” kick from top to bottom, or by a “football” kick in a horizontal plane from the front or side. It is better that the attacking leg is in shoes. This place is very sensitive in almost all people, because from childhood it is protected by shoes, and there is no muscular cover here (Fig. 25).
Relatively weak blows to the ankle joint cause acute pain and deprive the opponent of the opportunity to actively work with the foot. A stronger impact leads to the destruction of the small bones of the foot, causes a crack, and even a fracture of the lower end of the tibia (small or large, depending on which side the blow is applied from). A strong blow from behind at the level of the instep of the foot tears the Achilles tendon if the attacked leg is under load at this time and does not fly forward.
2. SHIN ("BONE")
The two tibias located here (small and large) are almost not covered by muscles, so the pain from hitting them pierces the whole body, like an electric discharge. You can attack the lower leg both internally (with a “football” kick) and externally (with side impact) side of the foot, preferably with the stiff edge of your shoes. However, you can hit with both the heel (heel) and the sole (Fig. 26). Just do not hit the shin with a toe, as it can slip off and then the blow will not cause significant harm to the enemy.
Relatively weak blows to the lower leg cause acute pain and a huge bruise, damage the periosteum. A strong impact entails a painful shock up to loss of consciousness, a crack or fracture of the bone.
The direction of blows to the lower leg is predominantly from the front or side. An attack from behind on a leg loaded at that moment with body weight can cause temporary paralysis of the calf muscle.
3. KNEE JOINT
It is unequivocally considered by all specialists that the knee is the best target for low-level kicks. It is convenient to hit him from all sides, with any part of the foot, at any angle (from top to bottom, from bottom to top, horizontally), by any movement - pushing, swinging, trampling (Fig. 27).
Relatively weak blows to the knee cause acute pain and force the opponent to moderate his ardor. A stronger impact leads to rupture of the knee ligaments, fragmentation of cartilage, dislocation or fracture of the bones that form the articular joint. Often a person becomes disabled after this. A blow of medium strength from behind (into the popliteal fold) is also accompanied by acute pain and partial destruction of the joint.
4. PERINUM (GENITALS)
This target can be hit with anything - toe and instep, heel, knee, fist, edge and base of the palm, fingertips pressed together (Fig. 28). You can not even beat, but simply grab the genitals with your hand and pull them towards you - to the side. However, this place has been protected by men since childhood. We all tend to purely reflexively cover our perineum with our hand or thigh when trying to attack it. Therefore, the attack here takes place only with distraction of the enemy's attention, for example, with a whipping blow of the hand to the eyes.
Even a slight impact on the neurovascular bundle located in the genitals causes acute pain and incapacitates for several tens of seconds. Stronger blows entail a painful shock up to loss of consciousness and guarantee serious injury with internal bleeding.
5. LOWER ABDOMEN (PUBIC AREA)
There is no muscular armor in the lower abdomen, and numerous neurovascular plexuses are located inside the abdominal cavity. It is better to strike here with the toe of the shoe, with the knee, with the fist, with the tips of the fingers clenched together (Fig. 29).
A relatively weak blow to the lower abdomen is accompanied by severe pain and semi-consciousness. A stronger impact causes pain shock up to loss of consciousness, internal bleeding, fracture of the pubic bone or rupture Bladder.
6. SOLAR PLEXUS ("SUN")
It is located directly below the xiphoid process of the sternum. It is convenient to hit him with the elbow, knee, fist, base of the palm, second phalanges of the fingers, compressed in the manner of the so-called "devil's paw" (Fig. 30). It is difficult for the "muscled" jocks, overgrown with powerful muscles, to break through the sun, but even they cannot keep their press constantly tense. On inspiration, the abdominal muscles relax and this target opens up for defeat.
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 result, a fainting state. The person bends in half, loses the ability to move for one or two minutes. A strong blow entails suffocation, loss of consciousness and even death if it was directed from the bottom up.
7. CARDIAC PLEXUS ("HEART")
This target is located just below the left nipple. Everything said about the "sun" is true here. I will only add that with a strong blow to the region of the heart, it can stop and then death will instantly occur. It is necessary to know about this, since the cardiac plexus is more vulnerable than the solar plexus (Fig. 31).
8. INTERCLAULAR CAVITY ("POLE")
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 a strong cough, 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. (Fig. 32).
Blows to the interclavicular cavity are best applied with a “beak” of fingers gathered together, or with the thumb. In some situations, for example, if you are on the ground under an attacker, attacking the "fossa" between the collarbones may be your only chance of salvation.
9. THROAT (Adam's Apple, Adam's Apple)
This refers to the thyroid cartilage of the larynx, protruding forward from under the skin. They beat him with the edge of the palm, its base (if the head is thrown back up), with a fist of the "devil's paw" type, as well as with a fork formed by the thumb bent in opposite directions and the rest (Fig. 33).
A light blow causes acute pain and suffocation. Consciousness, as a rule, remains, but the enemy loses the ability to take action for a period of time from fifteen to twenty seconds to a minute. A stronger impact entails profuse bleeding from the mouth, pain shock and loss of consciousness, or a fracture of the thyroid cartilage, rupture of the windpipe and death.
10. CHIN (CENTER OF LOWER JAW)
The main ways to hit this target are as follows: a fist blow from the bottom up, right under the lower jaw (“uppercut”), an elbow strike from the side or from below, and, finally, a short straight blow with the base of the palm with the direction of the movement trajectory to the top of the head (Fig. 34). The last of the three is the best. If you hold it exactly in the center, easily and relaxed, having gathered only at the last moment, then it affects the cerebellum and knocks down the most powerful “roller”. Trying to hit the chin with a fist, you can break your hand at the wrist joint.
In scientific terms, when you hit the chin, the vestibular apparatus is shaken and the activity of the cardiovascular system to provide the brain with oxygen is temporarily inhibited. Both of these combined cause confusion. In addition, sometimes from such a blow a person bites 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 - lower, or false. On the right side of the body behind the lower ribs is the liver, on the left side is the spleen. Strikes on the lower ribs are applied with anything: with the knee, foot, elbow, fist, base and edge of the palm, but not with the fingers (Fig. 35).
As a result of bruising of the ribs with relatively weak blows, a person experiences acute pain, he reflexively has an instantaneous ejection of blood from both the liver and spleen. Both put him out of action for a while. With a stronger blow, two or three ribs can break, which in itself makes it difficult to breathe and move. But much more significant is the fact that from a strong blow there is a rupture of the liver or spleen. And since both of these organs contain a large amount of blood (they are a kind of “blood depot”), the matter can end in death.
12. HYPOCOHOND
This is the name of the part of the body below the 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 of the abdominal cavity adjacent to the sides, large blood vessels pass, and there are numerous nerve nodes. If the blow is directed from the bottom up, as if under the ribs, then it injures either the liver (and the gallbladder located under it) or the spleen. Such a blow, in addition, easily breaks the tenth rib (Fig. 36).
Of course, in order for a blow in the hypochondrium to be penetrating inside the body, it is necessary to produce it with a small shock surface - the toe of the shoe, the “devil's paw” fist, the beak of fingers clenched together. And even better - the end of the stick. It is good to hit upwards with the knee, the base and the edge of the palm, the fist.
The matter is facilitated by the fact that the muscles of the lateral surfaces of the torso are poorly developed in the majority of current city dwellers. They don't mow grass, they don't cut firewood, they don't dig the ground - where do strong lateral muscles come from?
13. Clavicle
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 square centimeter is required. Such an effort is available to both a teenager and an untrained woman. The direction of the blow is from top to bottom, the weapon of the body is the edge or base of the palm, Bottom part fist, head, sometimes elbow (Fig. 37). It is important that with a broken collarbone, a person cannot hit hard with the other hand and even with his feet.
With stronger blows, the clavicle does not just break, but is completely destroyed and injures the tops of the lungs, bronchi, and large blood vessels with its fragments.
14. SIDE 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 the base of the palm, fist, elbow, a person's blood pressure drops, breathing becomes difficult, orientation in space is disturbed. But the main thing is that he feels a sharp pain. With a stronger impact, loss of consciousness occurs (although blows of this kind are not dangerous for life), or, at a minimum, a person falls to the ground (Fig. 38).
15. UPPER LIP ("FILTRUM", OR NOSOLABIAL FOLD)
To be precise, this refers to the area of the face between the base of the nose and the upper lip. It is considered one of the most vulnerable places of a person. Here the nasal cartilage fuses with the cranial bone and there is a nerve node (Fig. 39).
Even from a weak blow with the edge of the palm, "fork", or a fist directed deep into the face, your opponent will feel a sharp pain. If you hit harder, then there will be a painful shock, concussion, loss of consciousness and, possibly, death. It all depends on the strength of the blow, its trajectory and the accuracy of the hit. In any case, blood will gush, not from the nose, but from the upper lip.
16. NOSE BASE
Strikes here are best done with a “fork” between the thumb and the rest of the fingers, the “devil's paw” fist (i.e. the second phalanges of bent fingers) or the base of the palm. The nose is a very sensitive organ, so a short poke is enough for any “jock” to throw its head back, and blood bleeds from its nostrils. A blow to the base of the nose does not require any force, however, it is hardly possible to “knock out” a strong man with it. It should be used as a means to force the opponent to open his throat. He threw back his head and with the same hand you hit him in the Adam's apple or push him in the chest, while doing the bandwagon (Fig. 40).
17. NOSE BONUS (MIDDLE BACK OF NOSE)
They beat her with the edge and base of the palm, fist, elbow, head. A light blow causes acute pain, a medium-strength blow causes a painful shock (up to loss of consciousness), profuse bleeding, and a complete loss of combat capability. A strong blow crushes the nasal bone and cartilage attached to it into fragments that can penetrate the brain and cause instant death (Fig. 41).
18. EYE
A blow to the eye is made with one thumb, a beak of all fingers folded together, and also with the tips of four fingers when whipping (Fig. 42). However, there are cases when it was possible to knock out an eye with the base of the palm. Never try to poke both eyes at once with two spread fingers, as recommended in some instructions. That way you'd rather break your fingers than gouge out your opponent's eyes.
human eyes very vulnerable. Almost no force is required to injure them. However, getting into the eye is not so easy. Much more often, an eye attack is used as a maneuver to divert the attention of the enemy from the main blow. Well, in those rather rare cases, when your finger actually sticks into the eye of the enemy, the latter experiences acute pain and loses orientation in the surrounding space. Simply put, after that, he is solely concerned with the state of his organ of vision.
The eyes, together with the bridge of the nose, the base of the nose, and the nasolabial fold, form the so-called "T-zone" of the lesion. It 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 pain shock, concussion and loss of consciousness, a stronger impact breaks the temporal bone. She, in turn, pierces the adjacent area of the brain and cuts the blood vessels passing there, as a result of which instant death occurs (Fig. 43).
The fact is that the temporal bone of the skull is very thin, and the cerebral artery passes directly under it. The temple is usually hit with a fist (more precisely, with the knuckle of the index finger), the base of the fist, the phalanx of the bent thumb, and sometimes with the elbow if the opponent is short.
20. EAR
This is an organ not only of hearing, but also of balance (semicircular canals of the 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 pain shock, dizziness, he feels sick, he loses orientation in space. With a stronger impact, eardrums may burst, and internal cerebral hemorrhage with a fatal outcome is also possible (Fig. 44).
They beat him in the ear with the edge of the palm, with the knuckles of the fist, with its base, with the elbow. It is not difficult to pierce the tympanic membrane with the thumb, forcibly driving it into the opening of the auditory shell, which entails wild pain.
21. NECK (BASE OF THE SKULL)
This is where the neck joins the skull. A blow with the edge of the palm, its base, fist, elbow in this place is accompanied by acute pain, loss of orientation, semi-consciousness - if it is relatively weak. A more powerful blow displaces the cervical vertebrae, infringes or tears the spinal cord, as a result of which a person ends up in intensive care, or even in a cemetery (Fig. 45). In both cases, the enemy instantly goes out of action for a long time. Only now it’s good to kiss the back of the enemy’s head, especially if this enemy is tall and strong in build, it’s very, very difficult.
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. The nerve trunk of the spinal cord runs through the vertebrae. Spinal injuries associated with displacement or fracture of the vertebrae are accompanied by severe injuries (partial or complete ruptures) of the spinal cord. The rupture of his cervical regions completely paralyzes a person. Tears in the thoracic region paralyze the abdominal and intercostal muscles, which makes breathing extremely difficult, and in lumbar- paralysis lower extremities(Fig. 46).
Any blows to the spine with the edge and base of the palm, fist, and even more so powerful weapon like the head, elbow, knee, foot are extremely painful and very dangerous. With a weak blow, a person feels a sharp pain, for a short time depriving him of the ability to continue the battle. A strong blow knocks him to the ground and completely incapacitates, and death is also possible.
23, 24, 25
The three main targets on the back are the following: the hollow between the shoulder blades, the central part of the back and the loin (fig. 47, 48, 49). As mentioned above, blows to any part of the spine are very painful and dangerous. Sometimes the coccyx is also indicated as a weak spot in the lower back, but any traumatologist will tell you that this is far from the case. The blow to the coccyx must be strong and directed exclusively from the bottom up, so that the person feels a sharp 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
Kidney - large internal organ, its length in an adult is 10-13 cm, and its width is 5-6 cm, and the left kidney is 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 slight blow to the kidney area is accompanied by acute pain. And the stronger it is, the higher the likelihood of a kidney rupture with bleeding, pain shock and death.
Strikes to the kidney area can be made both with hands and feet, elbows, knees and head. But, I repeat once again, the stronger the blow, the more dangerous it is for health and life (Fig. 50).
27. ELBOW
Every adult has hit his elbow on some hard object more than once, and knows how much it hurts. The whole body seems to be pierced by an electrical discharge. But the pain in this case is not the main evil. Worse, the elbow joint is rather weak, it is not difficult to dislocate or break it.
A blow to the elbow with the foot, knee, fist, base of the palm from below causes acute pain, partial or complete rupture of the ligaments, dislocation, fracture (Fig. 51). The stronger the blow, the stronger you hold the opponent’s hand, the more serious the consequences it entails. It is clear that with a broken elbow, the enemy is no longer a fighter. One arm is completely incapacitated, the second he is forced to support the broken one, otherwise the slightest movement is given in the broken joint with acute pain.
28. ARMPIT (ARMPIT)
The brachial plexus is located here, the median and ulnar nerves, the subclavian artery and vein pass, there are numerous lymph nodes and vessels (Fig. 52). A blow with a fist, a beak of fingers gathered together, one thumb, a toe of a shoe in a given 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 bag of the shoulder joint, pain shock, and sometimes leads to death.
29. SHOULDER JOINT
Shallow articular cavity, large head sizes humerus and weakness of the ligaments of the articular capsule make the shoulder joint the place where most often, compared with all other joints, dislocations occur (during falls, shocks, bruises, etc.). Shoulder dislocation is often 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. And a blow to the shoulder from above causes acute pain, muscle numbness, torn ligaments or intramuscular bleeding - it all depends on the strength of the blow, and on how well you “attached” to the shoulder. Meanwhile, athletes usually kick the shoulder from the side-in, which is completely safe. It is clear that from above, in front, behind you cannot hit the shoulder joint with your foot, they hit it with the base and edge of the palm, knuckles and the base of the fist, sometimes it is possible to hit with the elbow - if the enemy is bent. In a lying opponent, the shoulder can be knocked out with a kick of the foot (Fig. 53).
30. FINGERS
It is well known (at least to traumatologists) that the fingers of the hands are easily injured. It is easy to knock them out of the joints or break them with a blow to the base of the palm, its edge, elbow, knee, foot. It's even easier to break your fingers. For example, if an opponent has caught you in a grapple, don't waste your energy trying to tear his hands away from you. Better start breaking his fingers. Let go immediately. Any finger can also be bitten off, cut off, crushed, there would be a desire (Fig. 54).
* * *
So, in order to incapacitate a person, make him suffer from pain, maim or kill, much less strength is required than "dummies" usually think. It is only necessary not to randomly swing your limbs (maybe I’ll get somewhere), but purposefully attack the most vulnerable places.
Keep this in mind not only during the fight, but also in training with partners. Otherwise you will kill each other.
* Oznobishin N.N. The art of hand-to-hand combat, p. 78.
Good day, Fighters! This article is a chapter from the book "How to win in street fight”, which can be downloaded at . In the book, the material is built more compactly and without any deviations to the sides, as a result of which it is easier to study the material, as they say, in practice, without jumping from page to page.
Here I bring it for the reason that: “How is it? The blog is dedicated to martial arts, but about the vulnerabilities of the human body, no gu-gu? Disorder!” 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 can be lowered, they can be in a combat position, they can also be dismissed by applying small shoves to 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, "hold explanatory conversations." Actions in this case, of course, you need to choose the shortest and the nearest available 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 those places of application of force that 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 exemplary exposure.
Hits on sight, for example, with flowing strokes with the fingertips in the manner of a "saw". The fingers in this case are not pressed against each other, but follow each other, biting into the target in turn, which, of course, is the “eyes”. It should be noted that the attack is carried out in a “whip style”, and not in a “stick” manner, when a hand with fully enslaved joints strikes, since the first variant of the execution is several times faster.
Blinding the opponent, even if only temporarily, or forcing the opponent to perform the reaction you envisaged, for example, throwing back the head followed by a full-fledged attack to the throat, can also be done in other forms, for example, the back of the brush. This is more of a tactical strike, although any strike delivered is harmful.
Eversion of the jaw a special blow with a spin if the impact is carried out with a fist, and the center of the palm with a direct attack. In frontal positions, it is carried out by hitting the base of the palm in a small circle after contact, when after the impact the base of the palm still additionally makes a shifting movement in a circle away from itself and down.
An 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. Additional rotation along the axis of the forearm and the rest of the inertia, turns the jaw out of the grooves.
Direct punch to the throat. Of course, that it must first be exposed, because the chin interferes a little. It’s simple here: a direct blow with a fist or the back of the hand to the nose area, the enemy throws his head back - there is a double attack with vertical fists in the throat. Of course, that such an impact is fatal.
Notice the word "vertical" fists, because punching usually looks like boxing when the fist is horizontal and the elbows point slightly to the sides. Striking with a vertical fist is much faster (in the manner. Did everyone see the Ip Man movie? Yes, and Bruce Lee also preferred this form), especially if the index finger in the fists is not twisted like the rest, but is straightened and pressed to the palm with the 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. The impact on this zone, even the weakest, immediately makes itself felt, and carried out "as it should" "knocks down", regardless of the size of the enemy.
To hit this point, you can use the base of the palm, when you very clearly feel the support, the weight of the body, and without raising your shoulders in advance, so as not to betray your intentions. You can suddenly execute this blow and redistribute the force so that it goes straight through the elbow to the base of the palm, and from there along an imaginary line of the spine to the area between the back of the head and the ear on the other side of the body. Often, with such an impact, the cervical vertebrae also suffer additionally. You can also influence the center of the base of the palm in the manner of a sweeping blow with enslavement of the hand in elbow joint in the horizontal plane.
Of course, each punch is good for its own situation, but in this situation, the shape of the vertical fist is just great.
nape center is also a critical area for life (slap - the head is buzzing And you can hit harder) if the skull is broken and other serious consequences. Yes, keep in mind that the photo shows the place of impact with the fingers, and not that you need to hit it with your fingers :)
If this did not happen, then the impact on this zone leads to loss of consciousness. The question remains: "How to strike at the back of the head, being in front of the enemy?" Answer: "An original blow with the palm in the manner of an overlap behind the head." As you can see, to carry out this impact, a close distance is needed. Of course, it is first necessary to develop this movement on some simulators, for example, on a pole.
Kick performed on the neck palm edge upwards, as in the first figure, to the forehead, allows you to break the first vertebra and displace it. If the blow turned out to be very good and powerful, then death will occur.
The second figure shows the most famous impact: a blow to the neck with the edge of the palm, directed perpendicular to it.
A blow to the zone of the muscle bundle of the sternocleidomastoid muscle.
It is located under the ear down on the bundle of the sternocleidomastoid muscle. The enemy goes "off". The earlobe of the opponent, during the strike, touches the surface of the palm, i.e., the blow must be applied to the upper part of this muscle bundle.
You can beat both from the outside-in (then the palm is located up) or from the inside-out (the palm, respectively, down).
Hits on the ears well-formed palms. Plus, this effect can be combined with the movements of the thumbs pushing the enemy’s head away from oneself, which, after carrying out attacks on the ears (the person “leads”, he deafens, severe pain) are superimposed on the eyes of the enemy and repulsion is carried out by pushing the opponent’s head away from the head with the thumbs. myself.
A blow to the bulge behind the ear with a fracture in this part of the head, fatal. Of course, it is much easier to do this with an object.
A person has indentations at the back, on the neck, at the top. Probably everyone about them. So, hitting them turns off consciousness.
Of course, here you also need experience on special simulators in order to learn how to strike with metered force.
Lateral catching on the nose from the side with a “leopard paw”. Of course, here you need to develop accuracy - so as not to miss and the result will be good.
These were some vulnerable areas of the head.
Collarbone, which can be interrupted by a blade strike with the edge of the palm going slightly down, 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 Right place and with the right effort. Do not raise your shoulder - there will be no strength, there will be no result.
It should be remembered that if the strikes are prepared, the striking forms are well strengthened, and the joints are trained, then almost any zone will be damaged, but it takes time to achieve this level, of course, and one should not believe any fairy tales that the “plastic fighting system” does not require training.
Also, the collarbone can be hit " hatchet» movement from above, if the hands are in a fighting position. Just great shape for a quick defeat of the clavicles, which are much more difficult to break with the standard recommendation “with the edge of the palm from top to bottom in grinding to the ear”.
« Hatchet"It is possible to break the collarbones with bending movements of the hand, being both frontally in front of the enemy and to the side of him, as well as if the enemy is in the "hands raised" stance, because this form can be bent under various rumbles 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 trajectory, i.e., a straight line. This is exactly the previous method of influence and this method is carried out in a straight line, but in order to damage the clavicle 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. They are 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 effort is enough for a person to “swim”.
Only the blow should fall on the bone, and not on the part of the body covered with muscles, which greatly softens the impact. If the blow is not perpendicular, but directed upwards, then this is a guaranteed death of the enemy.
About " Sun"everyone knows how to strike in abdomen. In training, you need to learn how to hit there very accurately (not necessarily with all the dope - the zone is sensitive) to determine the partner's reaction after such an impact.
Knee strikes.
On the side and back along the line of 45 degrees, in the upper part of the thigh there is a very good knockout point, on which the blow is delivered with the knee, respectively, along the upward trajectory. It is easy to determine by inflicting controlled blows to yourself and your partner. To work "for sure", you can inflict several blows in a row: in this area there are several similar points: at least one at a time, but you will hit. You need to know this zone, if only because being on this side of the enemy, often this zone is often more accessible to defeat than others.
And finally. If it suddenly happens that the situation is extremely serious, then you will need a “more significant” blow, or simply speaking, “to kill”. In addition to the already mentioned blow with a vertical fist to the throat, especially in the series, such as “a blow with the back of the hand on the nose, the enemy throws his head back and you put two, three vertical blows with his fists into the throat, I will give another one from the same series and it looks like a blow the base of the palm to 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 a little, a little up to the back of the head.
Under such influences, it is highly desirable to work with the object, because the impact of the unarmed hand, which is also poorly prepared, often leads to injury to the striker.
The enemy is in a certain stance, hands “up” or simply grabbed your shoulder.
If the opponent is in the stance, 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 reach of him with his hands, and we don’t consider work from the substep here. In this case, it is necessary to change the point of view and not work "template": do not reach for the body, but see what is in the reach of your hands. As a rule, these are the hands of the enemy exposed in a combat position. Here we will cripple them.
Moment one. If his hands are not clenched into fists, but forms of the “boat” type are adopted, then here you can hit the edge of the palm from above on the nearest exposed hand on the finger from above. 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 does the hand break even outside the grip, but when it is done, we additionally break his fingers. In training, it is necessary to work out all the possible situations of such contact of the hands in slow fights 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, inflicting them with the shape of a "hatchet" on the back of the opponent's hand. The impact is carried out along the midline of the brush. The work of the legs is important, when you turn a little in place with a slight bend in the body, take a position where you can carry out such an impact with your hand. The weight of the body is invested in the impact, which is key to a successful fracture.
With the arm extended, the nerve centers located below the arm from the elbow to the shoulder in the first, second, and third parts will also be effective. You need to learn how to identify these nerves in training, and strikes are almost weightless, because a strong impact can lead to injury. The zones are treated with fist strikes when it is bent to the outside of the forearm.
Be careful with these nerve nodes, as a strong blow to them leads to dire consequences, and even weak impacts on them are extremely unpleasant! When practicing, strike lightly and grope for them not with “strength”, but with the accuracy of the hit.
I repeat, the moments when the enemy is already striking are not understood here, because when working at a “reaching” distance, protection is almost impossible, especially for beginners. And this means that this situation is reminiscent of cowboy duels: who did not have time, he was late. Therefore, vulnerable zones are outlined so that the enemy, after you have carried out an attack, no longer rock the boat, but he would only like to “crawl into the nearest bushes and die in peace.” Here we are talking about striking ahead of time through a specially developed sense that suggests the optimal moment for delivering an unbeaten blow, the feeling of the optimal moment. That is, someone swearing and threatening, and in response you just slap him on the edge of the jaw - that one is cut off. Well, or something like that
We injure the opponent's legs.
A blow to the groin. Well, there is no need to explain anything. I mention it only because it was “to the heap”.
Coccyx area hits very well with a normal knee strike. Additionally, the enemy can be fixed with grips by the shoulders, which, additionally, after the blow, will allow the enemy to be knocked to the floor with subsequent finishing.
A blow to the inguinal fold contributes to the fact that the joint flies out of its place, and even the enemy takes out in the direction of the blow, as a result of which it falls face down. This impact is very good to carry out especially when the opponent imposes a fight, i.e. such a common situation when both have taken hold of each other, like wrestlers or judoists.
It is in this position that this pushing blow is carried out: as if out to the side, into the area of the inguinal contraction. That is, this is the most common blow with the turn of the foot outward, which they like to hit in the abdomen. If during the blow the opponent jerks towards himself, by grabbing him by the shoulders, for example, then the injury to the opponent is guaranteed.
Knee cap. It moves easily in all directions and can be damaged also from all directions by knocking it out, for example, by hitting it from the inside out and slightly up, it is easy to knock it out of its native place. The blow is carried out both by the area under the toes and the heel.
Fracture of the femur. For such an effect, a knee strike must be applied in the first third of the thigh, and even with a palm overlay on top of the thigh joint area in order to prevent the attacked part from escaping from under 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 decreases many times, but the nerve center located in this area will be damaged.
The blow applied along the line of the lateral part 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. The injury will be in the case of other similar positions of the opponent's foot, and this impact is extremely traumatic.
If the foot lies sideways on the ground, then in this case there will be multiple fractures. You can act on 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 also used in strikes to the hamstring: a powerful "long" movement leads to the fact that the ligaments of the hamstring are torn and the bone comes out of the joint. We also remember about blows with the edge of the foot to the ankle area - fractures.
Impact by thumb legs flattens it very well.
If the enemy is on the ground and is trying to get up, then he does it with his hands, right? You should not miss this opportunity and try to catch it with kicks on the fingers, on the joints, break it, break the bones.
As I wrote on the blog, there are three approaches to working with the enemy. First, teach him to respect you with his punches. The disadvantage of this approach is that people do not have knowledge about competent strikes, those from which the result is felt right there. As a result, literacy disappears and is replaced by force and blows "on the squares." The second approach is based on crippling actions and its purpose is to cripple. Here it is somewhat simpler, but still, very often some kind of sports “knots” and “twisting” are “bumped”. And actions can be even simpler. Well, the third approach: physical destruction. In principle, you should also know and be able to apply.
Even before getting into such situations, it is necessary to decide on the approach, although it can be changed in battle. Personally, I consider the second approach to be the most optimal: the approach of causing minor injuries.
