However the arms are always the first part of the attacker to present themselves. This makes Pressure Point LI-10 [Large Intestine 10] of utmost importance. So let us discover this pressure point gem!

Pressure Point LI-10 - Location & Effect

Excerpts from Kyusho Pressure Point Anatomy

"One of the most popular and pressure points to access. Pressure Point LI-10 is located 2 cun below LI-11 on the radial aspect of the radius, in the extensor carpi radialis brevis and longus muscles. Located on the Large Intestine Meridian.

This pressure point can have a huge effect on the body. A strike straight down and through will paralyze the arm, and in some cases can potentially stop the Heart.

Striking upward causes a shock wave to rise up the arm into the upper body. It will cause a knock out if struck hard enough. When used with ST-09 it has the potential for a deathblow!


This pressure point will affect the entire Large Intestine Meridian, especially around the arm, neck and face.

Hence the reason that ST-09 works really well with this pressure point.


Again, when struck slightly upwards, the lower body will lose Chi and cause nausea.

I have personally seen instances of diarrhea that can last for many days if untreated."
