Head to Borders bookstore and look around the Fitness section for a decent Martial Arts book. Pressure point diagrams are everywhere there. Now I will admit that I don't agree with every single pressure point diagram. But the obvious ones are hard to argue. (bridge of nose, temple, brachial plexus tie-in, solarplexus, etc etc etc.)

----------------------

The term 'pressure points' is somewhat misleading. For self defense purposes, if you cannot escape and are being attacked by someone who is determined to kill you, then you may have to damage and destroy parts of your attackers body. These are vulnerable points, and are all the places you are NOT allowed to hit during a boxing match or a Wrestling bout. These places are forbidden, even in a mixed-martial arts or cage fight because they do serious, permanent damage. Vulnerable points include joints on the arms and legs, which can be targeted and broken. Ear drums can be ruptured, eyes can be poked out etc.

I hold a black belt in Aikido and I can do joint and pain locks too. But I know that persons who are under the influence of certain drugs and alcohol sometimes do not feel any pain (until maybe the next day), and to stop them you need more than a pain compliance hold.

When you are trying to control some stoned beserker and the capsicum spray or stun gun won't work on him, that's when you are glad to be able to smash something on his body with a baton.

If you can break something, then maybe you can stop the guy before someone gets killed. Hitting little pressure points sounds cute in theory, but when the adrenaline is pumping and your buddies are being hurt, that's when boots and batons get used.

I just remind every one something haven't you hit yourself in the elbow in one of this points and you feel it in all the arm? well that's a pressure point. Now, most of them are tricky, I think they are not suitable for self-defense because I can hit an elbow many times and will not be hitting the precise point. When fighting the point is in movement, to difficult to be accurate but the effect of each one its real.
