Presumably a powerful force user could do that. I don't see any limitation other than the defense of the force user. Also, I suspect that jedi and sith can be taken off guard by attacks, such as when Obi-Wan was force pushed or choked. Actually, in ROTS, Obi-Wan is force pushed by Dooku and choked and he's helpless, but later on he can hold his own with Anakin. It's entirely possible that Dooku's knowledge and/or power in the Force just outstrips Obi-Wan's.

This smells of Lightsnake. Didn't he say that Sidious could pinch off a nerve inside Marka Ragnos?Regarding force powers, I highly doubt that they're given ridiculous names like "force speed" or "force jump" in the canon. That's only how we identify them outside of the mythos.
Yeah, I believe he did, but I guess he failed to recognize that Ragnos probably could do the same thing if it were the case.
I can't imagine Star Wars if all the battles consisted of who pinches off a vital nerve first.
