Nerveholds, claws and pressurepoints

3 things mainly:

1) Pain/ Compliance (subjective)

2) Shutdown

3) K.O etc

You gain it by training. Learning to hit hard. Or gouge hard. Or torsion hard. Sandbag throwing, iron palm, iron finger (sorry missis)...

Against a resisting opponent only the most feasible of nerve/ pressure points work. And when someone is adrenalised the effect can be diluted.

Most of those Kyusho demos are bullshit. But some nerve striking etc is authentic and useful.

thank you for the great input! very interesting! what is the difference between a KO and a shut down?

Shutdown can be lack of function, numbness etc.

like a dead leg or charly horse. When something won't work properly

KO is just that, lights out

Can you render the entire guy "shut down" immobilize but awake?

Theoretically yes. Practically, against a resisting opponent difficult.

Although you could say that a brachial stun is a complete shutdown. As in they tend to flap about like a fish if you hit them hard enough.

A lot of the knowledge is esoteric but not neccesarily practical to apply for real

wanna come to chicago and apply it to me?

I'd love to mate. Probably not the most practical thing for me to do right now. But I'd b great fun

So what are some of the effects you can achieve with strong deep nerve work? how did you acquire this skill?

Strong hands sadist

Skilled

Gee, I wish I was closer to experience your strong hands.
