Mastering Pressure Points for Self-Defense

In this episode, David Snyder demonstrates nerve attacking and explains the pressure points of the body.

Standout Quotes:

· “If the nerve is tight, it conducts the signal. If the nerve is loose, it doesn't conduct.”

· “Every place you have a joint, you have a striking surface.”

Key Takeaways:

· In neurological attacking, we need to have a good signal travel along that nerve. If the nerve isn't tight, it's like a loose guitar string. Bad note and bad nerve conduction.

· Most of these most of the strikes have to be hit. They need a high velocity and high amplitude thrust in order to trigger them.
