Part I
Strikes to the Head and Neck
This volume (and the ones to follow) concentrates on the 43 major pressure
points of
the body. Of course, there are quite a few more, but these are the
basics. All of the points
are classified into 2 catagories :
Numerical Alphabetical
I -brain/skull
A-immobility from pain
II -sense organs B-immobility from structural or
III-life
support, cardiorespiratory, organic damage
major organs & tracts C-Unconsciousness from
nerve or organic
IV -muscular functions & nerves damage
V -mechanical functions,
skeletal, D-death from physiological damage
cartilages & joints
The ventral
transverse plane consists of the face, the front, top, & sides of
the head, the neck,
& the upper torso, including the collarbone. There are 15
pressure points in this area as
follows:
1. coronal suture I-C
2. trigeminal nerve & frontal bone I-D
3. temple & fossa temporalis I-D
4. eyes II-B
5. ears II-B
6. mastoid II-A
8. anterior nasal spine I-A
9. temporomandibular
joint V-A
10. tip of mandible I-C
11. sternocleidomastoid region III-D
12.
anterior neck region III-D
13. brachial plexus & trapezius muscle IV-C
14.
suprasternal notch III-D
15. clavicle V-B
1: This region lays on top of the head,
more towards the forehead. It is also
known as the soft spot on babies. It is the space
between the skull bones
that is covered with a membrane that close up usually by 18 months,
but the
coronal structure is still weaker than the rest of the skull. Directly
beneath
this is the sensory portion of the brain & under that the optic
cavity. A downward strike
of about 45 degrees depending on the force could
cause concussion, temporary blindness,
unconsciousness, brain hemorrhage,
even death (very powerful blow).
2: This
region is located just below the centermost point of the forehead The
nerve is on the outside
of the skull thus when the bone is struck it will
trap the nerve. This could result in jarring
the cerebral hemispheres,
concussion, unconsciousness, impaired vision, & paralysis. If
and only if
maximum impact is applied, death could result from brain hemorrhage.
3: I’m sure we all know where the temple is but for those of you that don’t
know it is located
on a horizontal plane across from the top of the ear. It
is the recessed part on each side of
the head. It is actually the bone tip
of the sphenoid. The trigeminal nerve runs through the
the temple. This
nerve controls several facial functions. Also passing through is the
middle
meningeal artery which is the largest branch suppling dura matter. A direct
hit
could break the tip off the sphenoid causing it to enter the brain. The
meningeal could burst.
Contact to the trigeminal could result in loss of
control of facial functions. Compression of
the brain, hemorrhage,
concussion, shock, & death are likely results of striking the
temple with a
horizontal blow directed towards the opposite temple.
4: The eyes
are located…uh I think you know. The eyes are very sensitive
even to the slightest touch.
They are held in by fascia bulbi (a soft
membrane) and eye muscles. This makes them easy to
pop out. They are also
very soft, and if a blow reached the vitreous body (center of eye)
the
eyeball would collapse. Other than causing temporary or permanent loss of
sight a
deep thrust could puncture the brain causing death.
5: These are located on each side
of the head. Air is easily trapped in the
external acoustic meatus (the tunnel from the outer
ear to the inner ear)
and forced into the eardrum causing it to bust. This in turn ruptures
the
hammer or malleus within the middle ear. Damages would cause severe pain,
loss of
hearing, bleeding from the mouth and ear, and bleeding into the
throat via the internal
auditory tube. Also, the inner ear is the center of
equilibrium (balance) for the cerebellum.
a forceful strike could leave the
victim sprawled on the ground with no balance! The blow
should be delivered
horizontally driving into the ear.
6: The mastoid is located
directly behind the earlobe. It is the recessed area
where the skull meets the neck. It is
filled with air pockets which are
used to communicate with the middle ear. A thrust should not
be used;
rather apply pressure with a nuckle or thumbnail in an upward direction.
Prolonged pressure could cause damage to the auditory system.
7: Known more commonly as
the nose the septal cartilage is the had substance
that makes up the nose. Two strikes are
used here for different measures
II-A : a horizontal strike causing breakage of the
septal cartilage
and nasal bone which ruptures the angular vein producing a lot
of blood
along with great pain, however, not enough to stop
some attackers
II-D : an upward 45
degree strike forcing the septal cartilage through
the internal nasal cavity and crista galli
(a small bone formation
between the nasal cavity & the brain) into the brain. Death
would be instantaneous because of compression of the brain.
8: This is located beneath
the nose and above the lips. It is the area between
the 2 lines running from the nose to upper
lip. Many of the facial nerves
run through this area. A direct hit would cause the sensory
fibers to relay
the shock to the pons, causing dizziness. A hit would also cause damage to
bleeding
posibly scaring the victim about the blood loss. A straight blow
in needed to achieve this
aiming towards the back of the head.
9: This is the joint that holds the jaw bone in
place. It connects with the
skull in front of the ear. The joint is really made up of 2
separate
joints, thus dislocation can be unilateral or bilateral. With a 45 degree
downward strike (preferably with the mouth open) will dislocate the
mandible (jaw bone). An
easier way to break the bone is to strike the joint
itself or anywhere on the jaw bone really
while the head is turned to one
side or the other. This reduces the absorbtion of the blow by
the neck.
This method requires the least amount of force.
10: The madible is the
jaw bone and of course the tip is located on the very
end of the chin. Boxers use this point
for a quick K.O. Hitting this area
sends a shock snesor to the cerebellum causing
unconsciousness. Hit this
point with an upward blow.
11: This is the area at the
frontal sides of the neck. The sternocleidomastoid
muscles run from behind the ear down to the
clavicle bones. Beneath these
muscles lie the jugular vein and cartoid artery which supply
blood to the
heart & brain. This are is very sensitive. Try poking yourself there. A
medium strike results in dizziness. A more forceful blow could blister,
swell, collapse, or
burst 1 or both of the blood lines. This could easily
cause death because of lack of oxygen to
the heart or brain. A strike
should be done on an upsloping plane at 45 degrees on either side
of the
chin in the neck area.
12: Referred to as the windpipe or throat; is
located in the center portion of
the neck. This is a tubular passage running from the mouth to
the stomach &
lungs. When a straight on blow is delivered the thyroid cartilage (Adam’s
windpipe in a cylinder
shape) are pushed through the larynx and/or trachea
resulting in blood drowning or partial or
complete obstruction of the vital
air passages. The cartilages act as cutting devices.
13: The muscle is the one that runs from the base of the neck to the shoulder.
It
raises up on most people. The brachial plexus is a nerve center which
supplies info about the
shoulder & arm down to the wrist. It runs through
the trapezius. Striking the trapezius
(from either front or back) with a
downward 45 degree motion could paralyze the arm &
shoulder temporarily.
With a maximun blow unconsciousness & paralysis could be
attained.
14: This lies between the collarbones; it connects them. A blow here could
there are better
targets behind the sternum. Such as the aorta, the
superior vena cava (major blood lines to
the brain), and the trachea all
these pass directly behind the sternum. A forceful blow would
follow these
reactions : dislodge both clavicles from the sternum, the sternum would
split, the 2 clavicles & sternum would be forced against or puncture the
aorta and vena
cava, the cartilages & bones would then be forced against or
puncture the trachea. The
strike should be delivered at a downward 45
degree angle. The suprasternal notch is a MAJOR
death target.
15: This is the bone on each side of the body that runs from the shoulder
to
the center of the chest. It supports the shoulder so breaking a clavicle
(collarbone)
would result in the collapse of the shoulder. It is possible
for the broken bone to puncture a
lung or possibly the heart or one of the
things mentioned in #14. A simple break would
immobilize the victim due to
structural damage & pain. An inward & down motion should
be used when
attacking also at 45 degrees.
That concludes Part I. I hope
you have learned from this lesson in human
anatomy. Please use this information wisely for I
take no responsibilities in
the misuse of these facts. This was intended for informational
purposes only.
That mean I don’t really expect you to go out and beat the hell out of
someone
(unless they need it!).
