Pressure Points

ARMS

arms

One of the best pressure points to use. Not dangerous, but still effective. In most fights, the assailant will use the arms to attack you, so these work
great. There are no dangerous ones, as I have tried them all.

Back

back

The back is very fragile. Damage to it can be done easily, and effectively. There are many dangerous moves, listed below:
1. Shindo
2. Reidai
3. Sekichu
4. Chokyo (I am not sure how dangerous, if at all, this area is. I know its hurts, because I have fell on it before, but I did not suffer pain after)

Chest

chest

The chest has some organs in side bones, but not like the head does with the skull. It has a cage of bones called the ribs, which can, but not always, defend its organs.
There are deadly moves to the chest, for many organs lie there. here are the ones to avoid:

1. Tentotsu (not deadly, but if you miss it can be!)
2. Reikyo
3. Kyo-in
4. Ganka
5. Kinteki (thats hitting below the belt!!)

Head

head

The head is one of the hardest spots of your body. The skull protects you brain, the most vital part of your body. It is the only part of the body that has a carapace.
Unfortunately for us, it does have weaknesses. Be careful with these moves, for most could be damaging to the brain, and maybe even deadly. The ones to watch out for are:

1. Noko
2. Amon
3. Tenchu
4. Keikotsu
5. Keichu

Legs

legs

I am sure most of you are familiar with the famous “dead leg”. Well that is a pressure point. A well aimed kick to these areas can disable some one quickly in a fight.

Philosophy of Bruce Lee

Bruce had studied philosophy in University of Washington. That was a solid base that helped him form his thoughts and ideals on life. He believed that many people do not react to a situation, but just do what they already know. This is similar to his thoughts on martial arts styles. Most styles restrict a person to a certain technique. Bruce did not like this, so through lots of work and consideration, he developed his own “style.” He named it Jeet Kune Do. The idea was to have no style. A person was not to block and then hit, but to block and hit all in one fluid motion. He expands on these thoughts in his books: Chinese Gung-Fu: The Philosophical Art of Self-Defense, Tao of Jeet Kune Do, Wing Chun Kung-Fu.

“True observation begins when devoid of set patterns, and freedom of expression occurs when one is beyond systems.”
”Be concerned with the ends, not the means. Master your own manipulation of force.”

“A good martial artist does not become tense- but ready. Not thinking, yet not dreaming, Ready for whatever may come.”
