this only works if the opponent isnt moving...

Aiming for small little pressure points with your thumb in a real situation, will cause pain.

Sadly.... Just not for your attacker.

An elbow strike or a basic hook aimed into the mastoid process would be much more effective. Even if you miss that, there's always the cheekbone or dislocating the jaw... which would float about grinding over some very sensitive nerve endings - most likely ending in the attacker getting a very effective K.T.F.O.

[scopeophile]

Exactly! - as others have mentioned, like all the skill sets used in any good martial art (and some contact sports - but that's a whole other debate right there), sometimes the most effective thing is not always the most technically demanding to achieve - BUT have the technical knowledge is still useful. Even if it can rarely be applied - for control personally I would always go for the less risky lock or choke. These are still non-aggressive, but I find they are easier to apply consistently.

@scopeophile I agree but a huge part of ninjutsu is using pressure points. There is one under your arm that will pluralize you completely

@milnusthegnome

In ninjutsu, you prefer to unbalance the opponent and -while you control him- hit a pressure point, or do some damage. That's the way I was tought.

ill tell you an even better better pressure point strike, a swift kick to the nuts

always works

[scopeophile]

@lyricboy089 - yeah, pressure points are a handy thing to know as is anything that you can sensibly fit into the "toolbox of kicking ass" .... IF (and that's the big one) you get the opportunity to use them. We too use them in Jujitsu in several applications - but not in isolation, they're usually a precursor to something else (a distraction method TBH).... guess what I'm saying here is this; even if it's a brilliant technique it's not a 'one size fits all' deal...

[rileygs]

@scopeophile i agree man, but this cool dude doesn't explain that this type of striking is suited for: when you aren't necessarily trying to injure the opponent - using them off aggressive parrying blocks - striking the arms or legs nerves... obviously nerve strikes do exist, but a fight is unpredictable and its up to you to decide if you want to try to get technical... any strike is a risk, choose wisely.. to me he leaves himself wide open for a takedown trying shit like this

[lyricboy089]

like he is explaining... this is just a break out and it works even if the opponent is moving, you can also do this punch focusing the rips... thats so confusing and painfull that you will have time and space to finish his body... thats what you do in ninjtsu ;)
