Besides, if you're in for 'pressure point' killing, I suggest you do back-of-the-head stuff. Knock someone over with a kick and elbow him in the back of the head. If done right, it causes paralysis and potential death.
I never said it would be my preferred method to end an engagement. I was simply offering an example of something which you can do with it. I know plenty of other ways to end a fight.
Originally posted by SchwarzeneggerMy dad's almost certainly mesomorphic; at 6' 1", when he was in his late twenties and early thirties, he weight 135 pounds. A stick. And he ate like an elephant, seriously. Big guy, big shoulders, it's ridiculous. Now he's in his early fifties and pretty much doesn't give a shit about his diet - he's deluded himself with my mother's help into thinking he's eating healthy - so he's got that typical belly fat thing going on. When he was alone for a little over a month when my mother, my sister, and I went abroad to visit family, he lost eighteen pounds. Bastard.
Well there are 3 bodytypes.Ectomorph, mesomorphs and endomorphs.
Ecto- skinny, easy to lose fat, hard to gain weight , narrow shoulders and generally tall
Meso- genetically gifted, born with a naturally hard body and a little muscular with that "V" shape as well as broad shoulders, easy to lose and gain weight but can get fat if diet isn't watched. Very easy to put on muscle also as well as having a good bone structure.
Endo- well big guys with broad shoulders, big bones but generally have alot of fats, hard to lose fats.
Most people have a mixed body type, mine has both mesomorphic and ectomorphic traits, arnolds was similae, yours is probably the same.
Me? Well i only weigh 172 lbs and i stand at 5'9' which is 77-78kilos and 179-180cm tall.
There was an increase from 138 lbs to 172lbs since i started eating like a horse and bodybuilding.
My mom's, 5' 1", and although I don't what body type she is, her brothers range from 5' 6" to 5' 11", with an inverse relationship between height and shoulder width.
Me? At the moment, I'm about 5' 10", and am definitely set for a rather solid V-shape thing once I get working out again (now). I have a double-first-cousin (mom's sister married dad's brother) who is seven years older and about a third of an inch shorter, and looks like an older me (except not quite as sexy), but his growth pattern and body type are completely different. He hit 5' 10" in ninth grade and then just didn't grow. I never really had a serious growth spurt, I've just kept growing at an inch or two a year and I have bigger shoulders than he does.
Of course, I tend to pack on fat like no other. Three weeks of bingeing in fifth grade (after one year abroad without junk food) basically inflated me like a balloon. It was sad, and it's taken a shitload of work to get most of that off. But I also build muscle fast, although that's likely on account of my previous lack of real physical exertion - two hours a day of backyard football for two years doesn't really count, apparently - and my pretty underdeveloped muscles.
Watch out for me, bitches.
Oh, and pressure points below the neck (excluding groin) in combat scenarios make no sense. We should be dropping like flies if a punch to the armpit could induce a heart-attack.

Wow. I've never heard of that. In my friggin' life.

Good thing not everyone knows how to do that stuff, eh?
Anyway, there are plenty of pressure points along the torso. Just above the nipple, for instance, is a nerve center. And the solar plexis, need I say more?
