Dangerous Points - On The Head

(you can also see points on the body and back and locks to the head, arms, wrists and legs)

The following make up some of the dangerous points on the head you may need to know. (This is by no means a complete list of all dangerous points on a person).

This is given for information purposes - you should not try striking any part of the back unless you know what you are doing. The information here only describes the points on the back, not how to strike them. While training with a partner don't strike dangerous parts for real or you might injure them!
