Answer 2

In the Martial Arts world it could be a pressure point which causes quick intense pain. In the world of acupuncture/acupressure it would mean a point (usually on the feet) that helps to relieve pain elsewhere on the body.

Answer 3

The body is covered with vulnerable areas and pressure points. Striking, pressing, or rubbing some pressure points cause distracting pain, and some cause dibilitating pain, and some can even potentially be lethal.

Here is a small list of pressure points: Temples, Ear canals, Nose, Philtrum, Chin, Sternocleidomastoid muscle, Biceps, Extensor carpi radialis longus on the mound of forearm, Wrist, Metacarpals, Upper inner thigh, Lateral femoral cutaneous nerve, the peroneal nerve, Groin, Knees, Shins, Ankles, Achilles tendons, Insteps. This is only a small list, I tried to avoid any nerve centers or pressure points that have a higher potential for fatality.

Answer 4

What many people refer to as pressure points are also referred to as trigger points, tender points, knots, acupressure points, or reflexology points. They are all slightly different, but are closely related.

They are located all over your body and generally follow lines. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) these lines are called meridians, channels, or vessels. In Traditional Thai Massage they are referred to as sen sib lines.

Many of the points are used for therapeutic purposes and some are used in martial arts.
