Pressure Points



All of our students should have a basic understanding of human anatomy. It is part of our Gen-Ki Karate Evanston manual and you will be tested on them. Strikes and blocks are most effective when applied to the soft areas of the body. As the video of this Hapkido Grandmaster demonstrates above, effort is minimal. However, the risk of injury or death is high. Use and practice with extreme caution. Below are some useful references to the subject of pressure points in martial arts.

The Shin Shu Ryu White Crane website has very detailed explanations of some of the many pressure points.

The Liang Yi Wushu website also has useful information about applying them.

This military training manual demonstrates the usefulness of pressure points in various self-defense techniques:
