Theory Of Application

1. Shock

Nerves are like electrical wires carrying current and can be affected the same way. They can be cut (sharp blow), which means they cause local pain or numbness. They can be shorted (sharp blow and pressure), causing confusion, wide spread pain or the effect can be transferred to other parts of the body. Attacking nerves or other vital points causes an automatic response in which the attacker has no control.

2. Severe Pain

Pain causes attention to be directed to the area that is hurt. Psychologically, it breaks the attacker down. Enough pain can cause the body to go into shock on which the attacker has lost all control.

3. Surprise

The pain associated with these techniques is different. The attacker is not expecting this to happen; therefore, his attention is drawn away from his attack. This is a natural reaction.
