Vital Points

M) Kneecap: A snap front or side kick to the kneecap will drop him.
N) Shin: Perfect self-defence target, as the pain is intense, but will not kill.
O) Centre of foot: The bones are small and easily broken when stamped on. Also
there is a nerve point located in the centre of the foot and stamping on this will
incapacitate your assailant.
P) Liver: Located just under the lower ribcage on the right-hand side. The pain is
intense and similar in severity to a kick to the groin. Knockout point.

Vital Points: Rear View
(Diagram 9)

1) Nape of neck: Will cause whiplash and
has potentially very dangerous results.
Knockout point.
2) Mid-point between the shoulder blades:
Will wind your assailant.
3) Kidneys: Will cause pain and nausea. A
good weakener.
4) Coccyx: Base of the spine. Will
incapacitate your assailant as all
movement comes from the spine.
5) Base of calf muscle: Will cause intense
muscle spasms and pain. A good target
to unload on because it isn’t lethal.
