There are lots of questions people have about pressure points and how to use them in order to come out on top in a street confrontation... Who better to answer these questions than Europe's biggest authority on pressure points, Steven Burton... So here are the answers to your most common questions. Enjoy... "Steven can you explain how pressure points can be used in the street?" "Well, too much emphasis is put on 'the street' for my liking. It should be Pressure Points for *anywhere*. Let's face it: if you can use them, you can use them in the street... same goes for a big right hand or a left hook! What learning Pressure Points does for you is to teach you where the body is anatomically weak...in areas other than the obvious! This information can help in far too many ways to document. Suffice to say, whatever the position (unless it's hopeless) there is a point nearby that could help. Remember, we teach to hit real HARD first, then where to strike for the best effect, then what to do if it all goes wrong. Pressure Points fit squarely into those last two brackets. Do not deny yourself the opportunity of a lifetime by learning Pressure Points correctly." "Thanks Steven, I have heard some people ask that if pressure points are only the size of a pen nib. How can you hit them in a real situation?" "The point itself is only that size, however the area of activation is about the size of your fist! There are 360+ places on the body to hit as well! Just imagine now 360 fist size dots on your body, do you think you could hit one in a fight? In fact it is almost impossible NOT to hit one!" "Do you have to hit pressure points in any specific order?" "Absolutely NOT!" "Finally..how long does the effect last when I hit a point on an attacker?" "This obviously depends on how "well" it was struck - but as a rough guideline, the systemic effect on the body lasts for approximately 20 minutes on a decreasing scale. The lighter the touch - the quicker the cycles return to normal." Tommorrow: Steven will cover some more for us.

Well, yesterday we heard Steven Burton answer some questions about pressure points... Today, Steven tells us his favourite pressure points... Now, being the leading authority on pressure points in Europe, Steven is a walking encyclopedia on this subject. But I set him a challenge of picking just three as his favourites... Starting today - Steven takes us through his best 3 pressure points... "The areas detailed in the next few days have proven over time to work and work well even in the most extreme cases. These weak areas of the body have been utilised by Martial Arts Masters for hundreds of years. They work and work very well. As such EXTREME care MUST be taken when practicing these techniques. You should always be aware of and adhere to the laws of self-defence as they apply to your country. The first point is four-finger widths up from the inside ankle bone. For the very best results simply toe punt this area hard or stamp on it. It causes a massive energy drain on the body and a huge shock to the system as a whole. A strike here makes the head very weak. In some cases a very hard strike will result in a K.O and / or a broken leg. The strike will also split the legs, causing your opponent to lose balance and leave his groin open to attack. Kick it as hard as you can - either straight in or down with a stomp." "The very tip of the chin produces an easy, simple and instant K.O. It MUST be struck in and down as if you are hammering on a door to be let in. A light strike to this area will cause the jaw to push back and ache for quite a while at the hinge. The head will experience a "zing" from back to front and then back again. A medium strike will cause a light K.O or severe dizziness. A hard strike will cause a more severe K.O. and could result in the dislocation of the jaw and / or several teeth becoming dislodged. The final point we are going to cover is the back of the head, at the base of the skull under the round of the occipital bone. If you draw a line from the bottom of the ear to the spine, the half way point is where it can be found. This area should be struck in an upward motion towards the opposite upper side of the frontal part of the head. Strike towards the forehead of the opposite side. This is the 'easiest' K.O. point on the body. However, it is not easy to get to as it is on the back of the head. All the Doormen, Security Officers and Law Enforcement Officers I have taught this to have made this place their 'favourite'. A light strike will cause dizziness and the legs to buckle. A medium strike will cause unconsciousness and momentary memory loss. A severe strike will cause massive unconsciousness. It will also cause total short term (last few hours) memory loss." Thanks Steven- awesome stuff.
