Self-Defense Nerve Centers and Pressure Points is a practical guide to the most effective weaponless self-defense using the least possible force and selecting the lowest-risk-of-injury body targets. Addressing himself to the individual who has basic or moderate skill, Mr. Tegner explains how and why vulnerable body areas can be used for street defense. He discusses the importance of understanding the possible and probable effects of hitting at various body areas. He introduces modern knowledge and a modern vocabulary to a subject which has been obscured by myth and legend. He evaluates the so-called "deadly" blows and the "secrets" of the fighting arts in terms of acceptable scientific evidence and the reality of human anatomy. He corrects misconceptions about where and how to strike blows for practical self-defense as opposed to point targets used in stylized martial arts and contest matches. Students of any style of any of the martial arts specialties and teachers of self-defense and sport skills will find much valuable source material in this book. Book jacket.
