Vital points striking is one of the most convoluted topics in the martial arts. Replete with mysticism and misinformation, the promise of one touch knockouts and anatomical weaknesses that can debilitate an attacker with a touch are often used to lure unknowing novices into delusional hopes and expectations.

I will simplify decades of experience in traditional vital point systems, modern law enforcement approaches and my own experience working security, to cut through the nonsense and sacrifice a few sacred cows, to get down to the core truths.
