Location of Pressure Point LU-03

Pressure Point LU-03 is found on the medial aspect of the upper arm, approximately 3 cun below the end of the axillary fold (armpit) on the radial side of the biceps brachii muscle. It is also 6 cun above LU-05, aligning it with the Lung Meridian in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

The Lung Meridian is known for regulating breathing, emotional states, and energy flow. While LU-03 is primarily recognized for its medical benefits, its martial applications make it an invaluable pressure point in self-defense situations.

Effects of Striking Pressure Point LU-03

A strike to Pressure Point LU-03 can cause an immediate electrical shock sensation to travel both up and down the arm. The effects of this strike depend on the severity of the impact and the method of activation.

Martial Applications

1. Temporary or Extended Paralysis of the Arm. A well-placed strike can render the hand and arm useless for minutes, hours, or even days. This is particularly effective in a self-defense scenario, where disabling an opponent’s ability to grab or strike can give a practitioner the upper hand.
2. Confusion and Emotional Distress. Due to its connection to the Lung Meridian, LU-03 is associated with emotional regulation. A strong strike can cause mental disorientation, confusion, and emotional instability. This may lead to feelings of anxiety or even sudden emotional outbursts, making it a useful point in disrupting an opponent’s focus.
3. Memory Disruption. Documented cases have shown that a severe impact on LU-03 can induce temporary memory loss. This could be due to its link with the body's qi (energy) circulation, which plays a role in cognitive function.

Healing and Medical Benefits of Pressure Point LU-03

While Pressure Point LU-03 is an effective point in martial application, it also has valuable healing properties within Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). In acupuncture and acupressure, Pressure Point LU-03 is often used for:

1. Stopping Nosebleeds. One of the simplest and most effective healing applications of LU-03 is its ability to stop a nosebleed when massaged gently. Applying light pressure and rubbing the point can help regulate blood circulation and stop excessive bleeding.
2. Alleviating Lung-Related Conditions. As part of the Lung Meridian, LU-03 can be used to treat coughing, asthma, and shortness of breath. Stimulating this point can help open airways and improve overall respiratory function.
3. Emotional Balancing. LU-03 is linked to emotional well-being, particularly in treating conditions such as grief, sadness, and depression. Acupuncture or light pressure at this point can help alleviate mental stress and emotional turbulence.

How to Effectively Strike LU-03 in a Martial Context

To maximize the effectiveness of Pressure Point LU-03 in self-defense or combat applications, consider the following striking methods:

1. Hammer Fist Strike: A downward, forceful hammer fist can effectively activate this point, especially if the opponent’s arm is raised.
2. Knife Hand or Ridge Hand Strike: This method can be effective when attacking from the side of the opponent’s arm.
3. Pinpoint Pressure Application: Using a knuckle, thumb, or a blunt weapon, applying focused pressure to LU-03 can quickly disable an attacker’s arm.

Pressure Point SI-08 is located between the olecranon of the ulna bone and the medial epicondyle of the Humerus Bone. This is a very dangerous pressure point to strike. And aside from the fact that it will cause considerable pain and Chi drainage, if struck at the same time as Pressure Point LU-05.

Associated Alarm Points, which are all found on the Bladder Meridian on the right side of the body, are extremely dangerous as they relate directly to the neurological aspect of the organ they represent. Most of all Striking this pressure point will cause a knockout, breathing issues and potentially shut off the Lungs resulting in death.

Thus I strongly suggest you read my article on Kyusho Resuscitation and take my Kyusho Jitsu Chi Resuscitation Certification Course. And I have always taught resuscitation in depth in my Kyusho study groups. But the issue with students today is they learn something and believe there is no need for further study.

Very important to note this idea is very wrong. Memorization is NOT learning. Yes it is part of the learning path however training in the learning, refreshing the information, and focus are major elements also.

Pressure Point ST-17 And this is one nasty pressure point. Most of all it does require a “dead on” strike with medium to hard force. And surprisingly this can cause death. And this pressure point is also never needled in acupuncture for the same reason.

Very important to note that upon striking, a sensation moves up the neck on the side attacked with unconsciousness following shortly after. This sensation moves into the head before the knockout happens. And Pressure Point ST-17 is also know to cause a loss of memory.

Please do not play with this pressure point! Martial Artists, especially Kyusho Jitsu people have been know to take risks. It is not your life you are playing with but the life of the Uke. And believe me, none of us are as talented as we like to believe. I have seen many bad knockouts that resulted in illness in the Uke.

Pressure Point ST-17 - In Conclusion

Also make sure before you work with Kyusho Jitsu Pressure Points you understand the art of Resuscitation. 

Thank you for reading Pressure Point ST-17!

Pressure Point LI-05

Pressure Point LI-05 location is on the radial side of the wrist, when the thumb is tilted upwards. The point is in the depression between the tendons of the extensor pollicis longus and brevis muscle.

This pressure point is a “natural short out” point that will cause great pain and allow you to drop someone to their knees easily. And this causes "Chi" drainage and a sudden loss of energy. Pressure Point LI-05 is also an Underlying Indicator Pressure Point.

It can be used as a set up point, or it can be used all by itself as a devastating strike. The whole upper body is put out of balance both physically and Chi wise.

A strong strike can also cause potential brain damage. Because this point is a ‘he’ point, when struck rather than used for healing, it will take Chi away from the lungs. Why does a Large Intestine Pressure Point take energy from the Lungs? Have a look at the 24 Hour Diurnal Cycle to understand more. 

In addition, as the lungs are part of the power system of the body, you will lose power instantly. Depending on the person death can result.

Pressure Point LI-05 - In Conclusion

This explains how to take the study of Kyusho Jitsu from the classroom, and from demonstrations to the streets. 

Thank you for taaking time to read Pressure Point LI-05.

Pressure Point GB-01

Pressure Point GB-01 is located 0.5 cun lateral to the outer edge of the canthus of the eye. The point is in the orbicularis muscle.

The nerves in the region include the zygomaticofacial, zygomaticotemporal and the temporal and frontal branches or the facial nerve.

Striking this pressure point with no other setup has a dramatic result. Aside from serious eye damage this pressure point can cause nausea, loss of memory and in extreme cases death. This is a potential result. It would be caused by underlying health issues. Today in the Western Culture because of people's addiction to pharmaceuticals many have serious underlying health problems exist. Just listen or read the potential side effects from all these unnecessary drugs.  

Please use extreme caution here. Do not under any circumstances use this pressure point in demonstrations. Doing so is grossly negligent. This si for life and death situations.

Pressure Point GV-22

This pressure point is located 3 cun anterior to GV-20, 2 cun posterior to the anterior hairline. As you can see pictured above. This one is extremely powerful and can will cause temporary blindness.  That is a powerful aid in self defense.  Also to note that because of its location it is not difficult to target.

A solid strike with all cause disorientation, and massive brain dysfunction. A knockout is very likely, or at least staggering and confusion. It is not likely to cause a concussion because a concussion comes from the brain bouncing around in the skull. This is a strike here in the wrong direction. Pressure Points like TW-18 on the side of the head are more effective for this result. As an interesting side note helmets do NOT prevent concussion only bone damage to the skull. All head strikes are potentially deadly for many reasons.

Striking pressure point is a fast end to any attack. Pressure Point GV-22 is also one of the 36 Dim Mak Vital Points. A hammer fist using Two Way Action is the perfect tool to attack this point.

Pressure Point GV-22 - In Conclusion

Too bad he misses the point. Likely he does not understand how things work. Learning is essential for success. Thank you for reading this article on Pressure Point GV-22.

This is a dangerous pressure point and striking it very hard can result in delayed death due to other complications*. When used with PC-06, a strike to the chest will cause severe damage and Heart issues can result.

As an example of this is simply touching Pressure Point PC-06. This weakens the chest area. Pressure Points located on the arms are excellent for self defense training because everyone has 2 arms, and these always present themselves during an attack. 

The other *complications mentioned above with also vary with the health of the attacker. Today, after 2 years of lockdowns and other issues peoples general health is questionable. Many people I know in the Western Culture have gained a tremendous amount of body mass. This is a very bad and unhealthy situation.  

Pressure Point TW-08 - In Conclusion

Any point, like Pressure Point TW-08 can have a great effect on the body. And the Triple Warmer Meridian an all associated pressure points should be studies with it. 

Physical and Mental health are a balance, and both are governed in many ways by Triple Warmer. 

Thank you for reading Pressure Point TW-08 also.
