32 major pressure points

1. Coronal structure: the top of the head toward forehead, known as the soft spot on babies. it is the space between skull bones covered by membrane that closes in 18 months but the coronal structure is weaker than rest of skull. Beneath that is the sensory portion and optic cavity. 2. Trigeminal nerve and frontal bone: just below centermost point of forehead on the outside of skull so when struck could result in jarring cerebral hemisphere, concussion, unconsciousness, impaired vision, paralysis, and with maximum force death by brain hemmorage. 3. Temple and Fosa Temporalis: Bonetip of sphenoid recessed part on each side of head horizontal to top of ear. trigeminal nerve runs through temple and also meningeal artery. 4. Eyes: Sensitive to even the slightest touch. Held in facia bulbi (soft membrane) and eye muscles. Easy to pop out. If a blow reached the vitreous body (center of eye) the eyeball would collapse. 5. Ears: Air is easily trapped into eardrum causing it to burst. 6. Mastoid: behind earlobes where skull meets neck. 7. Septal Cartilage: this is the nose. 8. Anterior Nasal Spine: Beneath nose above lips. where two lines run from nose to top lip. direct hit sends shock to pons causing dizziness. could also cause damage to maxilla bone holding gums and teeth causing excessive bleeding. 9. Temporomandibular Joint: joint that holds jaw in place. connects skull in front of ear. 10. Tip of mandible: jaw bone and very end of chin. sends shock sensor to cerebellum causing unconsciousness. (this is the spot that boxers aim for with upper cuts to cause a quick KO) 11. Sternocleidomastoid region: Frontal neck behind ear down clavicle bones beneath that is the jugular vein and cartoid artery which supplies blood to heart and brain. Very sensitive. 12. Anterior Neck Region: Windpipe or throat, center portion of neck. 13. Brachial PLexus and Trapezius muscle: base of neck to shoulders. 14. Suprasternal notch: Between the collarbones. Blow could dislodge collarbones from sternum. 15. Clavicle: supports shoulders. a simple break could immobilize, serious break could puncture lungs, heart, aorta, vena cava, and/or trachea. 16. Heart: forceful strike could cause the heart to skip beats and collapse ceasing movement of oxygen around the body causing death.

17. Kidneys: Firm strike generates a lot of pain and internal bleeding could result in death. 18. Shoulder Socket: where the humurus and scaptula meet at ball and socket joint. 19. Elbow: Breaks easily causing extreme pain and immobility. 20. Carpals, Metacarpals, and Phalanges: these are the fingers and parts of the hand connecting fingers to wrist. 21. Petalla: Knee cap, also breaks easily causing extreme pain and immobility. 22. Tarsals, Metatarsals: these are the toes and parts of the foot connecting toes to ankle. 23. Thoracic cage: rib cage. forceful strike or stamp could cause rib cage to collapse and puncture lungs or heart. 24. Floating ribs: these ribs are not connected to the sternum and break fairly easily. Could pierce liver or spleen resulting in rapid bleeding causing death. 25. Vertebral column: spinal cord. Strong strike could break vertebrae and could snap spinal cord resulting in full or partial paralysis. 26. Diaphragm: solar plexus at the base of sternum. regulates the intake of oxygen. damage could result in inability to breathe causing unconsciousness or death. 27. Testes: male genitalia. even the slightest strike could cause extreme pain, immobility, and maybe unconsciousness. 28. Coccyx: the tailbone. forceful strike causes extreme pain and immobility. 29. Armpit: strike could cause extreme pain and immobility, but not often accessible. 30. Posterior Cutaneous: nerves found in back of upper leg. pinch could cause sharp pain and reflex action. 31. Liver: on right side of body extending to left side at a point. botoom right is unprotected by ribs. liver is saturated in blood and damage could result in rapid blood loss due to internal bleeding leading to death. 32. Spleen: on left side of body, smaller than liver, but completely protected by ribs. also saturated in blood and causes rapid blood loss due to internal bleeding causing death.
