Yes I enjoyed that a LOT. You both did great! I have been the punching dummy for my Sifu fro probably 6 years. Please tell your guy he was great. Oh yah, I learned a lot from the techniques also.
If you get passed the "kick with your toes" part in the very beginning, you'll find this video pretty informative and interesting about attacking pressure points.
2:25 assuming you have that much time to determine a. the target, b. decide if it is soft or hard c. throw the kick with precision. Correct me if I am wrong however, we hear reports of people being grievously injured and even killed by so called 'coward' punches to the side and back of the neck and head, such punches require little training and average physical fitness. I have never read a report that a person was incapacitated by a precise, well-timed toe kick to the soft mid-section. I would imagine even the most well timed toe kick would result in little or no damage, despite the 'expert' training required to use such kicks.
wow a lot of ignorant martial artists out there that don't know how effective a well practiced kick with the big toe can be it can and has killed people
i am 75 years been studying martial arts for over 5 years a year ago had to use the on my ass hole of my drunk step son that has treated me like shit for over 10 years i do not think he will try sober i used the side kick to the solar flexes it felt good doing it my oldest have been beating up sense he grown up if i ever him again he has a surprise in store the state of ar has a law for hitting seniors with a jail term of 30 years
Bruce Lee’s way wasn’t pressure points. And the Chinese started the acupuncture. Picture trying to show Bruce that today. He would probably accu punch your head
NOBODY teaches you to kick with your toes, these methods are gonna result in alotta students with broken toes, and faces...very impractical and unrealistic for the street.
Each to their own, whatever is effective and comfortable for you. Bare foot I would agree but on the street with any normal footwear, no issues with using toes.
If you're going to kick the liver or the floating ribs just say so instead of this pressure point mumbo jumbo. The term 'pressure point' in this context is highly misleading as this is about impact techniques to vulnerable areas of the body (which is totally legitimate) as opposed to pressing techniques to nerves (doubtful at best).
