Effects:
Nerve pain/neuralgia (see statements in the Introduction).
Comments on use:
Like all nerve points, the degree of sensitivity, as well as the
effect achieved is individually different; the armpit is relatively
seldom exposed, and moreover, as with all targets on the torso,
often well protected by clothing.
The armpit is the area on
the human body directly
under the joint where the
arm connects to the shoulder
and is bordered by the chest
muscle in the front, at the
rear by the back muscle,
and on the inside by the rib
cage. It lies under the skin.
The extensions of the plexus
brachialis, namely the nervus
medianus, nervus ulnaris, and
nervus radialis can be found
in the armpit. These nerves
run through the whole of the
upper extremities.
ARMPIT/AXILLA
All moves in martial arts and self-defense aim at finding the
opponents weak spots and using these to ultimately control and
subdue him.
Although the knowledge of the human physique has increased
recently, descriptions of punch and pressure techniques in most
martial arts books focus only on causing pain, paralysis, death.
Exact explanations of their impact are missing or given only on
a spiritual level. However, understanding the impact of ones
actions should be the focal point of any martial artist with a sense
of responsibility. Kyusho provides detailed information about
attack points of the human body and the relevance of the pressu-
re point system in martial arts. With this approach the book offers
the chance for every martial artist to expand his knowledge of the
human body and the effect the pressure point system has on it.
