Fish-hooking is the act of inserting fingers into the mouth, nostrils or other orifices of a person, with the intention of pulling and tearing the surrounding tissue. Forceful fish-hooking involves a high risk of permanent facial and/or orifice damage. Fish-hooking techniques are disallowed in modern combat sports due to the risk of permanent injury but are occasionally taught as a self-defense technique in some martial arts such as karate and Krav Maga.
