The man was feeling a little too comfortable with his reluctant date as he pulled her into the couch. Michelle however, was very familiar with this situation from her grappling class and instead of resisting the momentum of the pull went with it, and slammed her knee into his goin/ tailbone, instantaneously landing with both elbows to his solar plexus full force, assisted in part from his powerful pulling motion. Both of these strikes were directed to his VITAL-POINTS and they worked!

\\n

The dull thud and deep groan was gratifying to her in a weird sort of way. He gasped to regain his breath, and she smiled as she backed out of his clutches, grabbed her stuff and jetted out the door. Next stop was home for a shower, and unfriending this guy from her dating app. A responsible self-defense practitioner, she would also warn off everyone she knew about his overaggressive tendencies.

\\n

VITAL-POINTS are \\u201crelease buttons\\u201d in self-defense consisting of vital organs, sensitive nerve centers and tender, vulnerable spots on the human body. Applying pressure or deliberate striking to these points can be very disruptive, and life saving at times.

\\n

Whether a knee to the groin, an elbow to the throat, or gouge to the eye when someone, anyone experiences these VITAL-POINT attacks they respond to the immediate pain, or loss of nerve function, becoming stunned, incapacitated, or instinctively disconnect or discontinue the action. That\\u2019s why we use them!

\\n

The question is therefore, what are the VITAL-POINTS in your life? Defending these important points in self-defense is life saving, just as defending them in life \\u201csaves life\\u2026\\u201d

\\n

VITAL-POINT attacks are so named for their \\u201cvital nature\\u201d to our mind, body, or spirit. When someone gouges an attacker\\u2019s eye, unless that attacker is on mind numbing drugs, they will react. In self-defense and in life, there are very few things that effect us so quickly and deeply.

\\n

Really, think about it\\u2026When someone trolls you on social media it is painful, and yet probably not vital. However, losing of a child, or life companion to suicide changes everything and could considered a VITAL- POINT attack.

\\n

VITAL-POINTS usually happen unexpectedly, maybe because if they were predictable we might avoid them, or if protectable we might be able to protect against them. Although we might be able to stop a possible suicide we can\\u2019t always, and sometimes these VITAL-POINT attacks come as a compete surprise to us.

\\n

Just like a VITAL-POINT attack is useful in self-defense it can also be very disruptive when applied to us, and our VITAL-POINTS in life. Therefore we protect, avoid and survive these attacks when we become the recipient of them. In business, school, or other projects understand they exist, are mostly temporary, and often survivable when unaccompanied by other attacks.

\\n

People can, and do fight their way free from an eye gouge, throat strike, or knee to the groin. Painful yes, disruptive yes, and yet survivable. VITAL-POINTS disrupt life either way. Use them, and be aware of them as great self-defense techniques, and realize VITAL-POINT attacks can be survivable in your life. VITAL-POINTS!
