In order to end a potentially dangerous conflict, one needs to understand where to target their strikes. Some people think that secret pressure points are the answer--but they're not. Weak points--which are usually larger, easier-to-strike pressure points--are the best to use in a fight. Below is a list of the best places to target in a real fight.
1. The eyes. The eyes are extremely sensitive--this is almost a no brainer. But a lot of people over look the power of just sticking their fingers into their opponents eyes.
2. The temple. Hitting the temple can easily knock someone out. Try using a ridge hand strike or hook punch for this.
3. The groin. Hitting the groin is also underestimated. But a hit to the groin will make any man of any stature bend over to his knees--even pass out.
4. The throat. The throat, like the eyes, is almost a no brainer as well. Strike this place, or grasp the wind-pipe. All of these will seriously hurt, knock out, or even kill your attacker.
5. The ear. At first this sound weird, but its not. Hearing has a huge effect on a person's equilibrium. Slap someone's ear and they may pass out--but they will always be knocked off-balance.
6. The jaw. Just under the ear and behind it are clusters of nerves on the jaw. This is a knock out point used in martial arts and boxing all the time. You should too. Also try under the jaw with your thumbs if your in a tight jam like a headlock.
7. The solar plexus. This one is a bit harder to get than the others, but can work extremely well. The solar plexus is a bundle of nerves just under the sternum. If you punch someone there, they will experience extreme amounts of pain, loss of breath, and may even pass out.
Of course you can also strike the insides of joints and study other pressure point areas on the body. But these are the easiest and most practical areas to hit in a fight. Train these and you will become a much more dangerous person to mess with on the street.
