What are Kyusho Extraordinary Pressure Points? Before I go into some details here first let's lay the ground work in case all of this science of pressure point self defense is new to you.
First I will define what a pressure point is. A pressure point is a place on the body where a nerve comes to an end, where nerves cross over each other, and where a nerve branches off.
There are 309 standard pressure points on the human body, plus 52 more points on the "vessels" which brings the total to 361. Now this is ONLY looking at one side of body however with reference to the meridian pressure points.
These pressure points have specific characteristics that are associated to the meridian they lie upon, the element of the meridian.
And the polarity of the related organ of the body. Here is a link to an article on Pressure Point Basics which will help you if you need more information!
What are Kyusho Extraordinary Pressure Points?
These are essentially pressure points that were discovered after the mapping of the original 361. They are found in many different places on the body. These Kyusho Extraordinary Pressure Points also have no direct relationship to any meridians or elements.

And I should warn you, this is not novice material!
