The details..

Nerve Centers & Pressure Points is a practical guide to the most efficent use of weaponless self-defense using the least possible force. The results are described accurately taking into account factors like size, strength, health and emotions. Appropriate body targets for practical self-defense tactics are compared with point targets used in stylized martial arts or sport tournament matches.

Self defense instruction should not be training as if preparing for warfare; it must have a full range of responses corresponding to different levels of threat - mildy threatening hostile acts can be prevented from escalating into physical violence by assertive control rather than reacting as though it were a vicious assault.

This book gives information and guidance towards making appropriate responses. Nerve center describes areas which are sensitive due to exposed nerves while pressure points indicate areas vulnerable to injury or pain such as windpipe. Superstition about ancient fighting skills has been replaced by our greater understanding of human physiology today.

Those interested in this field ought make thorough study on anatomy and mechanics of human body through formal classes or library reference books so they may refute ignorance with knowledge.
