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)
During maneuvering in hand-to-hand combat when the opponent initiates a punch, the fighter can move into a position from which they can dislocate the opponent's shoulder (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 twist twists shoulder joint, and thus the enemy fails (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 at 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 to assess the target. 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 incapacitate 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: 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 provide you with 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, it is difficult to implement in practice, weak and precise blow to this vulnerable point with one finger (which, if the blow is unsuccessful, can be broken) 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 injury resulting in loss of consciousness or hemorrhage, and a strong blow 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 applied with the knuckle of the index finger, the base of the fist, the phalanx of the bent thumb or 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 the facial nerve is pinched 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: 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 lead to a rupture of the cervical 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 the edge or the base of the palm, fist, 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 ranging from external injuries to very serious injuries. 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. A relatively weak but sharp blow to the shoulder from the front or back quite easily leads to a 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 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.
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, on a short time depriving him of the ability to continue the battle. 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 – a 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 entire 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 a slight blow to the kidney area 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 controls most of the motor functions of the hand, 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 outside hips can disable the leg, knocking down the opponent. 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 the opponent down. 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)
The thumb to the throat is a very effective technique when an opponent rushes forward or tries to grab a fighter. He throws forward his right fist with the thumb extended in the form of a beak and hits the enemy in the larynx area, holding left hand raised for protection.
Knowing the pain points on the human body helps to effectively counter the enemy in self-defense. Vulnerable are those parts of the body that most painfully react to blows, hard pressure or twisting and are guaranteed to cause acute pain and even long-term disruption of a person's vital functions. First of all, these are places on the human body in which the main nerves and ganglions and blood vessels, joints, internal organs are concentrated; places where the bones are least covered with muscle tissue.
* Between the eyebrows, at the junction of the nasal cartilage and the skull, are the nasal bones. A blow to them will cause profuse bleeding, making it difficult to breathe, impair vision and lead to pain shock. A blow to the nose from the bottom up with the base of the palm is considered the most dangerous. It is convenient to use in close combat. If the hit in this area is accurate, then with even a slight blow, the enemy can be killed.
* Accumulations of nerve endings and fragile blood vessels are located on the superciliary arch. From a blow to the superciliary region, the vessels burst, hemorrhage begins in the eyes, vision deteriorates sharply, and the nerve endings, which are shocked, lead to a strong pain effect.
* The zygomatic arch, which is located under the eye, is easily injured from a punch, as it is quite fragile. Pain shock and temporary loss of vision are guaranteed.
* The most vulnerable area of the head is, of course, the eyes themselves. They are vulnerable to trauma. A light blow to them leads to permanent loss of vision. Blows to the eyes, pressure on them with the fingers are extremely effective.
* The lower jaw is considered to be a mobile bone formation. The main problem lies in its mobility: a blow to this place can cause a displacement with a rupture of the muscles fastened to the fixed part of the skull. Or maybe crush a bone. Result: pain shock and loss of consciousness in the opponent. In boxing, this point is known as the knockout area.
* Opponent may lose consciousness from the resulting concussion and knocked out lower jaw as a result of a blow to the chin. In this case, the tongue is severely injured.
* A strong blow to the ears with the palms of the hands will damage the outer ear, leading to hearing loss. A blow to this area causes bleeding and even loss of consciousness from pain shock, since many blood vessels and nerves are located here.
* The bones of the skull at the temples are the thinnest, they break through even with a weak blow. The consequences of fractures at these points can be fatal.
* Just like blows to the kidneys, blows to the back of the head are dangerous. Here the base of the skull is affected, and with a strong blow, the consequences can be the most severe. Here, even with not the most effective attack, the enemy will lose the ability to navigate.
*The neck contains vital blood vessels on the sides, back cervical vertebrae, and a vulnerable "Adam's apple" in the throat. Strong blows with damage to the vertebrae can cause paralysis. If you use the edge of the palm to perform lateral blows to the neck, this will sharply disrupt the blood circulation of the brain and lead to loss of consciousness.
* Knee caps, elbow joint, outer and inner parts of the knee, foot, shin, thigh muscles on the legs, hands and fingers are the most vulnerable points of the lower and upper extremities of a person.
* Extremely effective blows to both the elbow joint and the patella of the supporting leg. Attacks in these areas cause not only pain, but also immobility of the joints.
* A direct sharp blow to the outer part of the knee can lead to the destruction of the joint due to an unnatural deflection to the other side, causing severe pain and temporary immobility of the knee. When hitting the inside of the knee, the ligaments and tendons at the patella are damaged, which also leads to immobility of the knee joint. An exact gift to the patella will lead to its displacement, make lower limb motionless.
* An attack with the outer edge of the foot at the level of one third of the lower leg from below into the opponent's lower leg can be one of the most effective techniques. Here the bone, as in the case of temporal part, the least thin. A strong blow is more likely to cause a fracture, and not too hard will help the opponent feel pain.
* Perineum, heart, spleen, liver, kidneys, solar plexus, ribs, armpits, coccyx are among the most vulnerable points of the body.
* There are many nerves and large vessels in the perineum, and very sensitive genital organs are located a little higher. A blow to this area can lead to rupture of the bladder. Kick attack on the testicles long time take the enemy out of the fight.
* The solar plexus point is located in the center of the chest. Near the solar plexus are the vital organs (heart, liver, stomach). Here is the largest accumulation of nerves. Since there are no ribs, this area is extremely exposed, physical impact on it will lead to a noticeable pain effect. Shock, shortness of breath, stomach bleeding, heart failure and loss of consciousness - and these are not all the consequences of an attack in this area.
* By their structure, the ribs are the most fragile bones in humans. Fractures of the ribs from the fifth to the eighth also occur with blows of medium strength. But the point is not only in the pain shock from broken ribs, it must be borne in mind that fragments from them can damage vital organs.
* In the region of the lower ribs are the liver and spleen. Not the strongest blow to the liver leads to its defeat.
It is located under the lower ribs on the right side, you need to hit with your left hand or knee, if the fight is close, or strike with your left foot at an average distance and the outer edge of the foot with your right foot from the side. We should not forget about the area of the spleen.
* Large blood vessels and nerves are located in the armpits. Feelings of the enemy from a blow to his armpits will introduce you to a strong electric shock. Result: pain shock and loss of hand function.
* The kidneys are located near the back wall abdominal cavity. They do not have bone protection, therefore they are very vulnerable. A blow to them will give strong pain, their rupture with internal hemorrhage is likely. Do not forget that the kidneys are located somewhere on the same level with the elbow joint.
*Attack on the coccyx can damage the central nervous system, and even cause paralysis, not to mention severe pain

The human body is an amazing apparatus, since ancient times we have studied our body in the hope of discovering all the secrets of our body. Years of study have made us understand that our body, although it looks perfect, also has a lot of flaws.
We used to call them pain points. Pain points are vulnerable places on the body, a blow to which causes acute pain in a person. They are called dots because of the method of pinpointing weak spots.
How to determine the strength of the impact
The modern method for determining the force of impact on a painful point is determined by five levels:
- First the level of this weak blow, which does not cause serious damage to the attacker, but serves only as a distraction for retaliation to the opponent's attacks.
- Second has a slightly stronger effect in a fight compared to the first.
- The third same - these are attacks that can lead to stunning the enemy or numbness of the affected limbs. Such techniques will allow you to neutralize the enemy for a short period of time.
- Impact on points fourth level may have serious consequences, blows often lead to injuries or loss of consciousness, sometimes the result of interaction with points is paralysis.
- blows fifth levels are extremely dangerous for the opponent's health, techniques can be fatal.
Now you should pay attention to the fact that all pain points of the body can be divided into conditional groups - points of the head, torso and legs.
Head pain points
The first points we will look at are the points of the head. These include: eyes, nose, ears, temples, lips and chin.
Eyes
The eyes are one of the most vulnerable parts of the human body, any blow to them will cause pain. To damage the eyes, a simple “fork” technique is suitable. However, there is a possibility that your fingers can intercept and twist, be on the lookout.
Even a mild direct blow to the nose almost guarantees bleeding and severe discomfort. For more effective result blow, it is recommended to use a “catchy” blow with the knuckles on the convex part of the nose to the side. Such a blow guarantees a painful shock to the opponent.
Whiskey
In this place, blows have the most serious consequences, since the skull is most vulnerable in this area, traumatic nerves and arteries are dangerously close to the surface of the skin. Most of the different types of impacts can result in death or severe head injury.
Upper lip
She is one of the most vulnerable parts of the head. A strong beat at an angle of 20-30 can cause brain injury, and the usual burning pain in the area of application.
Selections
Backhand attacks provide optimal effect when used fisticuffs possible injury to the hand.
Pharynx
Vulnerable point - a depression at the bottom point, you should use the poke method with your fingers. The attack causes breathing difficulties and spasm in the lungs.
Adam's apple
Most attack options in this place are fatal. It is recommended to use tearing grips.
An attack with the back of the hand knocks out the opponent.
Torso pain points
Solar plexus
The blow should be delivered with a fist. Such a blow causes burning pain, which causes a person to bend or kneel.
Attention: too strong a blow to the solar plexus can lead to death!
Armpits
In the armpit, the large one passes close to the skin, so any blow there causes severe pain, temporarily paralyzing the enemy.
Belly, groin and kidneys
A punch to the stomach forces the opponent to bend, which will allow additional blows to the back or neck, a kick toe is no less effective.
The groin is one of the most convenient points for a strike. A kick, fist, palm, knee immobilizes the opponent.
Hits on the kidneys can cause nervous shock and death without proper medical treatment. help, blows should be applied with the edge of the palm, as well as with the knee.
false edge
A blow to this rib can be applied from both sides of the body, but a stronger effect is manifested by a blow to the right side of the opponent. You should hit with your elbow, knee or edge of the palm.
Pain points of the legs
Lap
Blows to the knee, its lateral part and to the patella should be applied with the edge of the boot. This technique immobilizes the enemy, damaging the ligaments and the knee joint.
Ankles
The blow should be applied with the outer edge of the boot, keeping it perpendicular to the ankle. Kicking with the toe of the boot is extremely ineffective and it is recommended not to use it.
Shin
In the shin area, the bone is the least thin and, accordingly, poorly protected. The impact with the outer edge of the foot at the level of 1/3 of the height of the lower leg from below is most effective.
Foot
The most vulnerable and fragile bones are located in the foot. Blows to these bones easily lead to their destruction. Basically, these are strikes with the heel or foot from top to bottom. It is recommended to carry out when the enemy is behind you.
Strikes on pain points are often used in special combat techniques. Special combat techniques are aimed at ensuring a person's safety in situations where his life is threatened by a mortal threat.
Not a single special combat technique is aimed at the deliberate killing of a person, but only to disarm (immobilize) the enemy.
Watch the training video in which a self-defense specialist talks about working with pain points:
Any hit deals damage. Of course, if a flash of pain and future bruising can be considered damage. But in order to stop the enemy, to neutralize, to deprive him of the ability to continue the fight, this is absolutely not enough. The pain will only cause anger in the enemy, he will have a “second wind” and the desire to deal with you will increase. So strikes must be carried out so that the enemy loses consciousness or fell and writhed in real pain. Do not pity the enemy - he will not pity you.
A winning situation is one in which you strike first and strike so that the opponent has no desire (and opportunity) to continue the fight. Rural “trimming” with methodical eye-rolling to each other and cinematic crushing of the kidneys and abdominals do not give such an effect. It is clear why people hit each other in the face - it is scary, unpleasant, traces remain. It's pretty easy to hit and just as easy to defend. Approximately the same goal, probably, the hotheads of the distant past were cut with sabers. It is also understandable why in the cinema they strike on those parts of the body that are well protected by "meat" and bones - and it is safer to work on the set, and children who have seen enough action movies and began to repeat the movements of their favorite characters, if they bruise each other, then not so soon.
We have other tasks, right? The most important parts of the human body for us are those, after hitting which the enemy will immediately fail. Those places, the first blow to which will be the last.
With a weapon, this is easy to do: wherever you make a hole with a knife in the enemy, blood will flow from everywhere. It is much more difficult to harm a scumbag with bare hands - after all, he is not afraid of just a broken nose or a black eye, this is part of the entertainment for him.
You need to hit on the "pain points", the most vulnerable places of the human body - where "God's creation" is most fragile, where there are large nerve nodes, joints, vital organs (Fig. 30). Firstly, hitting these points is easier than hitting meat or bone, in the sense that it is easier to hit them so that the enemy fully feels it. Secondly, blows to pain points have much more consequences than all other techniques: not just pain, but painful shock, not just darkening in the eyes, but loss of orientation, fainting. I'm not talking about the greater trauma of the "correct" strikes. No, we do not set ourselves the task of sending the attacker to a hospital bed (although this would be a useful lesson for him and, perhaps, he would not risk further swagger at the expense of random passers-by). But by the end of the fight, the enemy must be incapacitated so that he can not pursue you, catching his breath and coming to his senses.
You can read the manuals of the Eastern masters on the location of pain points for a long time, but there will be no real benefit from this. striker in street fight, as a rule, is protected by thick clothing, so pointing fingers at it in the manner of a Chinese monk is simply pointless. I'm not talking about the fact that a blow with straightened fingers needs to be trained for a long time with desperate persistence, otherwise any attempt to carry it out will end in broken phalanges. And it is almost impossible to hit small points with a fist when all the participants in the brawl are constantly moving. So the list of main pain points in this book is built on the experience of street fighters, a kind of "folk art". Everything that you read, you need to organize in your head and work out. If you have never grabbed an enemy by the genitals, then you will, no matter how ridiculous it sounds, be embarrassed to do it in battle. You need to train in order to gain confidence in movements and not lose combat effectiveness due to artificial restrictions.
At the same time, keep in mind that a certain percentage of opponents are familiar with this "folk wisdom" and will also try to target "Achilles' heels" - protect them first of all.

2. Eyes and groin
Each person at the genetic level is afraid of blows to the groin and eyes and protects these organs in the first place. Blows in them are demoralizing, pain is the strongest here, but the chances of irreparably cripple the enemy are relatively small (unless you specifically set such a goal).
Fig.31. A punch to the groin.
No matter how you hit the genitals, it always comes out very painful (Fig. 31). Moreover, no special effort is required: a blow can be struck not only with a fist or toe of a shoe, but also with straightened fingers, a knee - it all depends on the distance and situation. But you need not only to beat - at every opportunity to grab and, without any pity, pull, twist, squeeze in a fist. From this, it darkens in the eyes from pain, the hands forget about the blows and twitch down, consciousness may turn off. Of course, with a long "contact" your hand will be busy, so you need to do everything almost instantly. Overcome disgust for the sake of survival - sharply grab the enemy by the balls and pull on yourself, as if you are trying to tear it off (it is unlikely that it will work, but the pain will be simply inhuman).
Any strike trajectory is good - from top to bottom, in a straight line, from bottom to top. A person reflexively protects the genitals to the last, so that by the threat of a blow to them, you can achieve disclosure in another area, and by holding them, you can “move” the enemy who has captured you. On the other hand, a man always reflexively covers his groin with his knee or thigh, so that you can “knock out” the enemy with a blow to the balls only if you first distract his attention with an attack on another level. From the blow, a painful shock is guaranteed and loss of consciousness is very likely.
The same with the eyes. The enemy is very afraid of going blind, so threatening his eyes will surely distract him. And it is very easy to deprive an attacker of sight (temporarily, of course). A short whipping blow with relaxed fingers - and hello. It is also very convenient to hit with a fist: the human eye is located in a cavity, so even if you miss, the blow will still “slide” into the eye. But the fist is too big to reach the eyeball, and it is more difficult to blind with such a blow (Fig. 32).
In close contact, you can press on the eyes with your knuckles or thumbs, for reliability, grabbing the enemy with the free part of your hand by the skull. Just don’t try to hit the eyes with a “fork”, as they do in the movies - you are more likely to injure your fingers than other people's organs of vision.
Fig.32. A blow to the eyeball. Pay attention to the fist in which the middle finger is specifically pushed forward.
A blow to the eyes or in the groin - the best option first strike.
The main thing is that after it, the enemy most likely loses his balance, initiative and cannot immediately respond to you. The effectiveness of such an advantage is obvious: you can disable one attacker in order to deal with another, buy time, or simply take flight, gaining a head start in this way.
In a very experienced opponent, the groin can be protected by a shell. In this case, attacks on it will be completely ineffective and you need to switch to other pain points. But keep in mind that the shell usually does not cover the pubic bone, and it can also be hit - more on that below.
Eyes in our time can only be protected with goggles. Hitting points directly - risk injuring your hand. However, they can be easily brushed aside. True, a bespectacled opponent is a rare case, except perhaps sunglasses, and the attack takes place in broad daylight.
In this case, you still win some second, because the sun suddenly flashing in front of the eyes that have lost their protection blinds the unstoppable hooligan. If you hit the glasses with improvised means (for which see the special chapter), then you can injure the eye with fragments. Then the enemy will be completely withdrawn from the battle.
3. Throat and solar plexus
The throat is also a very “cool” point, it is almost as easy to hit it, and if you hit it, then you can kill it inadvertently. But if not to kill, then to incapacitate for sure. The Adam's apple is affected by a blow from the bottom up, which causes pain shock and suffocation, which can lead to irreversible damage to the windpipe (Fig. 33). With a serious blow, bleeding from the mouth begins, followed by loss of consciousness and death. A fracture of the thyroid cartilage of the larynx can cause the windpipe to rupture.
Fig.33. A blow to the Adam's apple.
Unfortunately for those who are beaten, and fortunately for the beater, there are no items in the modern wardrobe that can reliably protect the interclavicular fossa and Adam's apple. The tight collar of a leather jacket turned up might provide some protection to the throat, but it won't help with a hard blow. So you need to rely on your agility and active defense.
A good target is also the chin, more precisely, its center is the protruding part. Uppercuts and hooks should target exactly this spot. But punching the chin directly is pointless: the jawbone is very hard, you can even hurt your hand. But with a blow from the side, folding the lower jaw is as easy as shelling pears. An uppercut can act on the nerve endings, which will transmit an impulse to the cerebellum, and the person will lose consciousness due to concussion of the vestibular apparatus. From a blow to the chin, you can also bite your tongue, which is very painful and therefore disorientates the enemy.
Hitting the solar plexus, or, as the people say, “under the stomach” is almost guaranteed to knock the enemy’s breath out and deprive him of the desire and ability to attack you for some time. Here, of course, certain skills are needed. The solar plexus is the junction of the nerve "wires" of the body, located at the subpoint where the ribs converge. That is, where the xiphoid process of the sternum ends. The "sun" is covered by the abdominals, so it's not always easy to pierce, but no one can keep their muscles tense all the time. (So, you need to relax the abdominal muscles with a deep breath.) You need to hit “under the stomach” a little from the bottom up so that the blow does not hit the sternum. Damage to the solar plexus causes a temporary cessation of breathing, disruption of the heart, a sharp decrease in pressure. Most likely, from a strong blow, a person will bend in half, which will allow him to quickly “finish off”.
On the long distance neither the Adam's apple nor the solar plexus will really be able to “break through”, which is why they are not in the first place among the points that need to be hit. But you need to cover them very carefully, since it is not so difficult. The throat is protected by a slight inclination of the head forward (just do not press your chin to your chest: this way the neck will become enslaved, and it will be difficult to breathe). The diaphragm is covered already because one of your hands protects the body, why don’t you turn to the enemy frontally, and he needs to break through close to you in order to strike properly. Obviously, this should not be allowed.
4. Vulnerabilities of the legs
Leg attacks are the fastest way to knock down an opponent. And if they are also carried out correctly, they will save you from any attempt at prosecution. In addition, they are carried out at the very border of the field of view, so that with due sharpness of movements it is difficult to notice them and it is inconvenient to defend against them. Trousers and jeans aren't that tight compared to most jackets, and only the rare oddball wears the extra protective gear from the sporting goods store.
It is very convenient to hit the phalanges of the toes from above, even with a heel, even with the whole foot. It is especially unpleasant, of course, to receive such a blow with a female hairpin. The effectiveness of the strike depends on what shoes the attacker is wearing. If he is wearing high military boots, it is better not to try - there is most likely a steel insert in the toe or just very tough leather that will not break through. But the sneakers usually have a soft upper.
Next to the toes is another "interesting" point - the instep of the foot. This place, where there is practically no muscle cover, is usually not protected by anything even in the most “fancy” shoes and is easily affected by short distance heel or edge of the foot (Fig. 34). The blow can break the small bones of the foot, cause a fracture of the lower end of the tibia. A strike from behind on the supporting leg breaks the Achilles tendon, depriving the opponent of the ability to move the foot.
Fig.34. A blow from above with a hard heel on the foot may well break its bones.
The shin in front is practically not covered with muscles, so that the result of a direct strong blow to it will most likely be either a crack or a fracture. You can cover your shins with football pads, but walking in them is very uncomfortable all the time. It’s not worth hitting the shin with your toe - the blow can slip off. A strong blow with damage to the periosteum can cause loss of consciousness from pain shock. Behind the lower leg is calf muscle, a blow to which is not so effective, but can cause cramps, since this muscle is often tense. In terms of speed, strikes to the shin are the fastest, besides, they are successfully combined with evasions from blows to the head and body. A retaliatory strike from the front to the shin, or a "cut" from the side, performed in the same movement, can "drop" the opponent to the ground.
The knee is a joint, and blows to the joints are both more painful and more traumatic. A blow under the patella from the front or side, with a relatively small amount of effort expended, can make a person lame for life. There are several reasons for this: rupture of ligaments, damage to the meniscus, fragmentation of the articular bag. A blow to a straight leg can cause a joint fracture or severe dislocation. All these injuries do not allow the fight to continue, and even minor ones greatly affect combat effectiveness, since the knee is involved in jerking steps, launching a blow when twisting the body and allowing you to control the center of gravity. If all this becomes impossible for you, because it causes a sharp pain in a newly pierced knee, you have lost.
From any blows to the legs, the first remedy is maneuver. If you're constantly moving, changing directions, it's much harder to hit you. Of course, kicks require a slightly greater distance than punches. So try not to get hit.
5. Vulnerabilities on the case
The ilium, or, in a simple way, the pubis. But not only he, but the entire lower abdomen. There are much fewer muscles here, but there are a lot of important vessels. Moreover, the target is located at such a level that it is convenient to hit it with both the foot and the fist. Possible damage - rupture of the bladder, fracture of the pubic bone, dangerous internal bleeding.
A heart. Here, a somewhat greater impact force is required, because it is covered by ribs (Fig. 35). It should be borne in mind that with a correct and strong blow under the left nipple, the heart can stop, which will lead to death. But since the point is not the most convenient for an attack, you should not count on hits "in the heart". But you don’t need to open up once again - you can get in the chest so that the ribs break.
Fig.35. Elbow strike to the heart.
The interclavicular fossa is an unprotected point, which, however, you cannot hit with a fist, it is too small. It is more profitable to beat with straightened tightly clenched fingers here. The blow injures the trachea, stops breathing, and can cause throat bleeding. The most terrible blows are applied to the clavicular cavity with improvised objects - from a fountain pen to a nail. But here it is already fraught lethal outcome, and not just by incapacitating the enemy - depending on how deep the "handy item" is planted.
The liver and spleen are both vital and very vulnerable organs. Located under the lower ribs: the liver on the right, the spleen on the left. You can beat as you like, trying to break the ribs at the same time as damaging the internal organs. From a strong blow, a liver rupture can occur, leading to death. But even not such a strong blow is very painful and can cause loss of consciousness.
Collarbone. Breaking the clavicle bone is very simple, just hit it sharply from top to bottom with your fist or the edge of your palm. But you can do this with the base of the palm, and with the elbow. If the enemy does not collapse from pain, then at least you will “cut out” his arm.
b. Vulnerabilities on the head and neck
The neck is generally vulnerable. In addition to the throat, which has already been discussed, you can hit the side of the neck - and not only beat, but also (if possible) squeeze it. From a blow with a fist, elbow, palm edge on the carotid artery (or jugular vein, and you don’t need to especially aim, because it’s hard to miss), the attacker has difficulty breathing, dizziness begins, and coordination of movements is disturbed. Choking techniques - although they are rarely given the opportunity - can "turn off" the enemy without much harm to him. From a strong blow to the side of the neck, a person can lose consciousness, but such attacks do not pose a danger to life (Fig. 36).
On the face, the most “successful” zone for attack is the nose and the underside. The nasolabial fold, that is, the place where men wear mustaches, is very sensitive. Moreover, here you can not only beat, but also grab it with your fingers and twist it - believe me, it's just unimaginably painful. In the same way, you can grab the lower lip in close combat: with your fingers on both sides, as it were, pinch and twist or pull towards you. You can tear off inadvertently, but nothing, and so they live. Just be careful with your teeth - do not tear the skin on the knuckles on impact and do not let the enemy bite your hand.
Fig.36. A blow with the edge of the hand on the neck.
Blows to the base of the nose are not only painful, but also disorienting. In addition to making the nose bleed and making breathing difficult, it is likely that the opponent will reflexively throw back his head and open his throat for a blow. The nose is that rare point where you need to hit with a non-fist. Here, a blow with the base of the palm is much more suitable (Fig. 37). And don't be afraid to break your opponent's nose - this is not a terrible injury, besides, hooligans usually have it broken-broken anyway. For the same purpose and with approximately the same results, you can hit from top to bottom on the bridge of your nose. It's harder to hurt your nose, but it's easier to hit.
Side punches can target not only the jaw, but also the temple. Blows to the temple are very dangerous, the easiest way to get a concussion, to lose consciousness - the skull bone here is quite thin, and behind it there are many important vessels. But you have to be Chuck Norris to kill a man with a fist, so don't hold back too much.
Fig.37. Strike with the base of the palm under the nose.
Well, a separate issue - the ears. Not everyone is aware that our ears are responsible not only for hearing, but also for the vestibular apparatus. Of course, the "vestibular" is located deep in the inner ear, but hitting it is not difficult. A simple clap on the ears with the palms, if done sharply and strongly, will cause the bully to experience pain shock, dizziness, and nausea (Fig. 38). It is highly likely that the victim will fall and not be able to get up immediately. The rupture of the eardrums (and they can suffer not only from cotton, but also from a fist, elbow) disorients the enemy, forces him to be distracted.
One way or another, you need to take care of your head. Everything grows together, heals - well, yes, it hurts from the blows, but not scary. And you miss one or two good straight lines to the head - and that's it, you have already been led and there is no time for a fight, just to stand on your feet. So if there is an opportunity to cover your head in one way or another, cover it and, unless absolutely necessary, do not expose it to a blow.
Fig.38. Strike with both palms on the ears.
7. Backstab
The opportunity for such strikes is a real "happy accident", but it falls very rarely, for example, if in mass brawl the enemy will accidentally leave you behind him or you will have to inflict neutralizing blows on an already defeated enemy. At any opportunity, it is possible and necessary to hit in the back - you are not on jousting tournament, you have one task - to be saved at any cost.
The most traumatic “zone” of the back is the spine, and its most open part for impact is the back of the neck with protruding vertebrae. Displace or destroy a vertebra with bare hands do not even hope, but keep in mind that missing a blow to the spine, for example, with a stick, is no less dangerous than to the head. You need to hit the spine as hard as possible - with elbows, knees, head - with such striking surfaces that themselves can suffer minimally. However, this is not the primary goal.
You need to start attacking the back from the kidneys. Where they are located, all approximately represent. In the area of the kidneys, a large nerve runs along the back, so that all blows to these organs are very painful. In addition, there is a high probability of internal bleeding - not the worst thing that can happen, but it is impossible to continue the fight with such an injury (Fig. 39, c).
Further, strong pain sensations are caused by blows to the hollow between the shoulder blades and the lower back (Fig. 39, b). The point is not only that the spine passes here, but also that by hitting the corresponding muscles, you limit the mobility and reduce the opponent's combat effectiveness. You can hit here, as well as on the kidneys, as you like and with anything, if only it is stronger - rather “easily accessible” places with nerve endings close to the surface.
On the back of the head it is necessary to beat in the place where the neck connects to the head. From any blow here, control over the situation is lost, it starts to double in the eyes, the head is spinning. Moreover, this point is open not only when entering from the back. Being on the side of the enemy, you can get there with your elbow or forearm (Fig. 39, but).
Fig.39. Options for actions when the enemy rushes at your feet to knock you to the ground: a - an overhand blow with an elbow to cervical region spine, b - a blow from above with an elbow between the shoulder blades, c - a blow with a fist to the kidney area.
Hello, friends. What are the pain points of a person, where to beat in a fight? This question is relevant not only for representatives of martial arts, but not even for athletes. After all, from
This article discusses the most vulnerable areas of the human body. When they are defeated, the chances of defeating their opponent are seriously increased. Also presented are detailed diagrams of where it is better to attack during the battle.
About the body and pain points
The human body is a certain mechanism. Its secrets began to be studied in ancient times. The study concluded that no matter how perfect the body looks, it has masses of vulnerable zones.
These are the pain points. Blows on them cause very severe pain. And they began to be called points because of the method of their point defeat.
They can be affected with different power. To do this, it is important to calculate the strength of this effect.
Determination of the impact force
Today, it is possible to determine the strength of an attack on a vulnerable point using a special technique. It has five levels:
- Weak. Such an attack does not cause much damage to a person. It's just a distraction. With it, the attacker can carry out an effective counterattack.
- A little stronger than the first.
- Can stun an opponent. Also, his limbs may become numb. This good way for short-term neutralization of the opponent
- A strong attack that often results in serious injury. The enemy may lose consciousness. In rare cases, he is struck by paralysis.
- The most dangerous attacks May lead to death.
Strikes of the last level should be implemented only in an emergency situation, when you or your loved ones are in mortal danger. Their use can be interpreted as exceeding the required standards.
Finding pain points
Where are pain points located on the human body? All such points are conditionally distributed into "locations". Locations are: head, body and legs.
The scheme for finding the points of the first location is as follows:
The list of points consists of eyes, nose, ears, lips, chin and temples.
The eyes are one of the most vulnerable areas. Any attack on them causes serious pain. To defeat them, the "fork" method is used.
Nose. Even the weakest attack against him causes bleeding and serious inconvenience. If you need to hit the enemy effectively, implement a catchy assault. Engage your knuckles. They affect the convex side of the nose. Impact - side. It will provide a counterpart with a strong pain shock.
Whiskey. Their defeat most detrimentally affects the health of the enemy. Important nerves and vessels are concentrated here. with a strong blow on the temples can seriously injure or even kill a person.
Upper lip. This is one of the most vulnerable areas. If it is powerfully hit at an angle of 20-30 degrees, you can injure the brain. If you carry out an attack of medium strength, the opponent will experience burning pain in this place. Also, a lip lesion often causes bleeding.
If you attack the chin effectively, you can break it and cause a concussion. You can use the back of your hand to do this.
The pharynx is also considered a very vulnerable area. She can be hit with a strong poke with her fingers. It will become difficult for the opponent to breathe. His lungs will go into spasm.
You can also attack in the Adam's apple, but only with tearing grips. Many other attacks can result in the death of the opponent.
Most attack options in this place are fatal. It is recommended to use tearing grips.
If you want to quickly knock out an opponent, hit him on the neck with the back of your hand.
Location - building
During the battle, you can hit the points of the body. And in this situation, a detailed diagram will help, where to hit during a fight and an attack on the corps.
Often fist attacks on the solar plexus are carried out to win. After that, the opponent feels a strong burning pain, bends or kneels.
You can't hit this area too hard. Otherwise, just kill your counterpart.
The next group consists of the abdomen, groin and kidneys. By hitting the stomach with the fist, force the opponent to bend. This will allow you to implement additional attacks in the area of the back, or the back of the head. You can act here with the toe of the foot.
The groin is a very convenient point for defeat. To immobilize an opponent, he can be attacked with his feet, palms and fists, as well as knees.
If you want to cause a powerful nervous shock in the enemy, attack his kidneys. For this, the edge of the palm and the knee are used. Only if you overdo it with pressure, you can kill a person.
Often a false edge also becomes a target. It can be hit from both sides. The most effective attack follows the right side of the opponent. The elbow, knee, or edge of the palm is used.
Location - legs
Here the danger points are:
- Lap. If you hit here in the side or directly in the cup, the enemy will become immobilized, his ligaments and knee joint will be damaged. To implement the attack, use the edge of the boot.
- Ankles. To defeat them, the outer edge of the boot is used. It is held perpendicular to such a strike. Hitting with the toe of a boot can cause serious injury.
- Shin. Here the most thin bone. And she has a weak defense. An effective assault is considered to be an assault with the outer edge of the foot. It is carried out from below on the line of one third of the height of the lower leg.
- Foot. Here are the most fragile bones. They are easy to break even with a medium-strength blow. Most often, the heel or foot is used to attack from top to bottom. best moment for assault - when the opponent is located behind your back.
Conclusion
The defeat of pain points is actively used in special military techniques. Their purpose is to ensure the safety of a person in an emergency.
Try to attack these points when you are in serious danger.
