Nick:
What is the role of pressure points in Karate?
Sensei
Pete: You’ll have to explain yourself.
Nick:
What do you do with them in Karate?
Sensei
Pete: Well, the role of pressure points is to take someone down.
Nick:
Say in a defensive way.
Sensei
Pete: In a defensive way it would be better than just cracking them in the face
or anywhere else. You use the pressure points to take them down. There’s other
pressure points where it can cause more damage.
Nick:
How many pressure points are there in total?
Sensei
Pete: Off top of my head I couldn’t tell you.
Nick:
But how many do you use in Karate defensively?
Sensei
Pete: I use twenty or twenty five.
Nick:
So on an opponent, you’d see them in front of you, and you’d know the pressure
points where you can strike them?
Sensei
Pete: Yes.
