While not as dangerous as Pressure Point LU-01 it is close. The problem is LU-01 is hard to access, LU-05 is easy. Therefore it become potentially much more dangerous.

Pressure Point LU-05

LU-05: This Pressure Point is located in the depression of the Cubital fossa at the ulna aspect on the cubital crease, on the radial side of the tendon of the biceps brachii. The point is located with the elbow slightly flexed. Located in the origin of the brachioradialis muscle.

This is a major energy pooling point for the Lung Meridian which is why it is used for the initial Lung resuscitation. A strike to Pressure Point LU-05 can cause a knockout as well as severe damage to the area. The cause of the knockout is tied to the radial nerve and the protection of the radial artery. From the chi aspect the entire body can be put out of balance from attacking this pressure point. And LU-05 is an Underlying Indicator Point.

This pressure point can cause great damage to the whole system. It can cause a knock out when struck with for instance a back-palm and using a ‘dead arm’ strike. This is where the arm is totally loose with no tension at all and is thrown at the target making use of the heaviness of the arm itself. 

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. 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 LU-05 - In Conclusion

There is far too much destruction, damage being done in the world today. The values once taught in the martial arts world need to return. Here is a link to an article on the World Budo Alliance website called Zen story on Healing. Check it our if you have a moment.

Pressure Point TW-12

TW-12 is located mid upper arm line joining the olecranon and TW-14 midway between TW-11 and TW-13. On the overlap in the Triceps Muscles.

Striking this pressure point straight through will result in a primary release of the shoulder and a secondary release of the elbow resulting in possible dislocations of both. While a break in the arm is possible, it is not probable due to the releases mentioned.

TW-12 is a fire element pressure point that is also liked to the endocrine system in the body. The best striking action is with a slapping motion. If you are not familiar with the 5 Elements and the Cycle of Destruction follow the links to the articles. 

The pressure point also exposes itself best when the arm is twisted with the palm facing up in the same direction as the point itself.

Pressure Point TW-12 is an excellent pressure point to be used by all grappling types of arts due to the hands on work. 

Pressure Point TW-12 - In Conclusion

Now there is no need to master all the pressure points I discuss on the blog. 

But as you get comfortable with one, move on to another. There is no rush, study them well, and work to make them your own.  You will find you have likes and dislikes. As an example the majority of martial artists who study Kyusho Jitsu love Pressure Point GB-20. Personally I am not a fan of it.

We are all different and that is fine. It is the study that matters most. Be a lifelong student.

Thank you for taking time to read Pressure Point TW-12.

Ask Questions!

I strongly encourage people to ask questions. One question I received recently was why i am promoting Kosho Ryu so strongly. Because my study of natural laws of Kosho is why my pressure point strikes work so well for me.

If you think you know everything please visit another pressure point instructor. I have no interest in you. 

I am only interested in OPEN minded STUDENTS. Not know it all people, who know nothing. 

Pressure Point ST-12

Pressure Point ST-12 is in the midpoint of the supraclavicular fossa, 4 cun lateral to the Conception Vessel or in the depression at the middle of the superior border of the clavicle and directly above the nipple. 

Pressure Point Prejudice

Prejudiced is normal in all intelligent animals. And it is a good thing depending on the circumstances. However when we have "favorite" techniques or pressure points we are limiting ourselves. And these limits lead to failure over time.

When this happens you become bound by your beliefs. TRY to always be learning and expanding your understanding of all things. Advanced study means to follow and understand the natural laws, but not to be limited by them.

Pressure Point study requires critical thinking.

And this pressure point can cause a knockout as well. However something to remember is that sometimes one of the advantages of pressure points are their ability to cause imbalance, and therefore make great setup points. Pressure Point HT-02 also falls into this category. 

Pressure Point HT-02 - Location

While not as dangerous as Pressure Point HT-01 or PC-02 you can still get an excellent result with this pressure point. Whether it be attacked via an punch or grab and press. 

Pressure Point HT-02 In Conclusion

And since the arms always present in an attack, pressure point HT-02 becomes accessible and a great choice. Thank you for taking time to read Pressure Point HT-02.

However it is important to note that while no element is predominate, it does transmit all element energies in their YANG form. As an example YANG Water, or YANG Fire. 

The Governor Vessel Meridian

The Conception Vessel Meridian is the home of many very important pressure points to be studied. There are a total of 28 Pressure Points on Governor. Very importantly is the understanding that many of these pressure points if stuck can cause serious harm to the body up to and including death. 

Governor Vessel Meridian - Important Pressure Points

Here is a list of the important pressure points on the Governor Vessel Meridian when we consider them from a destructive aspect.

• Governor Vessel 26
• Pressure Point GV-01 - One of 36 Dim Mak Vital Points
• GV-15 - Another of 36 Dim Mak Vital Points

Any strike to the the Governor Vessel meridian is dangerous not just from a neurological aspect put the fact the meridians runs the length of the spine and the middle of the head. There are also several of the 36 Dim Mak Vital Points on Governor.

The deeper the understanding you have of each pressure point on the body the more effective you can become with Kyusho Jitsu. It is not possible to remember all of them. However references like my Kyusho Pressure Point Anatomy or my Online Encyclopedia of Kyusho are a great place to start. 

Governor Vessel Meridian - In Conclusion

The martial art systems taught today are very incomplete and many are not arts at all. This is why so many believe that the arts do not work on the street. Those seeking instant gratification in life will not train seriously. Only people dedicated to growth as a human being, and an interest in returning to a world of values of old like morality and truth will succeed.

Also I have done articles for all the Acupuncture Meridians of the body linked here. Thank you for taking time to read Governor Vessel Meridian.

This is why so many believe that the arts do not work on the street. Those seeking instant gratification in life will not train seriously. Only people dedicated to growth as a human being, and an interest in returning to a world of values of old like morality and truth will succeed. Something seriously lacking in the world today.
