The expert lessons in this book explain: • Where the body’s vital points are located and how to protect them • How vital points are targeted and how to successfully defend oneself • How vital points can be used in conjunction with traditional martial arts techniques With 230 photos and 25 detailed charts, Pressure Point Fighting teaches that success in this discipline is not dependent upon acceptance of the tenets of traditional Chinese medicine—but solely on open-minded observation and a willingness to try different approaches to martial arts training.
