Re: where are the bodies pressure points

Dear Patrick,


This is a wide-open question you sent in, so it would have helped me in 
choosing my answers to know your approximate age and country of origin.  
Here are four possibles:

1.	'Do-In, the ancient art of rejuvenation through self-massage', a 
book by Jacques de Langre   ISBN 0-916508-02-1.   Pages 91 to 95 have some 
useful diagrams showing the meridians on the body and where each pressure 
point is located.

2.	Shiatsu, a Japanese and Chinese way of healing by acupressure 
which is using thumb or finger pressure on various points in the body to 
treat problems.  This is a huge area of knowledge, best go to 
www.google.com/shiatsu/      This site has zillions of  different pages ---
 schools, practitioners, booksellers etc. located all over the world.

3.	Basic unarmed combat, e.g. killing or disabling a person by hand 
on pressure points.  I was taught some of this in school, but will not 
describe it.  I feel there is already too much aggression in the world and 
I don't want it to increase.

4. Pressure points to stop blood flow, as an emergency intervention after 
a road traffic accident or similar.  This is best learned live, not from 
written instruction.  You might contact your nearest Red Cross office and 
ask if they give classes.


I hope this helps.  Let me know if you had something completely different 
in mind.

regards,
Bobby
