Re: New here and seeking advice
In my opinion:
In real life, pressure points are bullshit. I'm not saying there aren't spots in the body that when hit or manipulated correctly can cause lots of pain. But the idea that it can be used to defeat an opponent is ridiculous. This spots are small and often protected by other areas of the body. In a fight your chance to target such points is near zero. To use such techniques you need to maneuver you opponent into a position that allows it...and if you can do that you can probably beat them already. That's why nobody in MMA uses pressure points. It is silly.
On RP it is even more silly, and that's were my previous pst was aiming. The danger here is that people treat of pressure points as a superpower, like the hadoken and yoga teleport. They will write stuff like " and then my character hits your charcter arm pressure point to paralyze it". A wide asort of magical properties are asigned to pressure points, paralyzing, causing insufferable amounts of pain (or pleasure *rollseyes*) with but a touch, self-healing, causing blindness or even outright stoping an opponent's heart (to then restart it a second later with another pressure points technique).
These are super powers.
I have found that people that make characters that know kung fu, specially the more esoteric brands of it, think kung fu means super powers. Extra points if it is an ancient forgoten art/technique.
And yet no kung fu master has ever won anything important in MMA.
Go figure...
So, my suggestion stands. Avoid pressure points, it is frowned upon by mature RPs. It will hurt your credibility.

Re: New here and seeking advice
Huh, have no idea why Kung fu is thought of as a super power, maybe it's kung fu movies?
if you get your kung fu info from kung fu movies, then you are Fail!
Through out the ages of time, all martial arts have been respected, but none more than kung fu, because of over the top movies " title="Razz" />
Pressure points do work in a certain way, put not as overpowered as most people would write them or think they do, if you one makes a character who uses pressure points, research them well, and I mean Well, what pressure point can do what in what situation.
Although, would rather it wasn't around, I mean I like Martial arts, but there is a reason why all the big name martial arts that have anything to do with pressure points, don't have that as a main focus of the style.
I think Martial art characters are fine, I have...well one, but still don't make them the kind of character that can take someone down in one hit in the right place, even if that is possible in real life.
Also, Pressure points shouldn't be able to paralyze someone, even for short term, they don't really work like that " title="Razz" />

If only our master hadn't died under mysterious circumstances after teaching only me the secret of the single finger ban.

Re: New here and seeking advice
Rofl. As a martial arts snob in my own right, I turn up my nose at the hero-worship of temple martial arts. One of my biggest pet peeves is the wing chun slap fight.
As for pressure points, of course they work, silly. But mostly just in the jaw. If you can A. shoot a double and B. throw a good solid straight right, no temple martial arts goons will ever have anything on you.
I grew up with the flashy craziness of kung fu and that sort of thing, so I'd love it if someone were able to use it effectively in competition. But so far... no dice. The closest is Machida, and I love Machida, but he's done things that others in that world haven't. Like.... win fights. >.>
This concludes my rant. " title="Razz" />

Re: New here and seeking advice
I couldn't help but see this thread and notice how some people are equating MMA wins as the pinnacle of combat capability. The "kung fu" stuff of course is rather silly, but I can think of a goodly number of unstoppable martial artists that didn't need to throw down in a boorish spectacle like MMA to demonstrate how balls-out badass they were.
Long story short, I see your loudmouthed MMA champions and raise you one MAS OYAMA.

Re: New here and seeking advice
I will say this not in bragging but as a stated fact on why my character uses pressure points (strictly as an attack not as a method to win). Being that I spent a lot of my life when I was younger getting into fights, I had to learn an effective method. I have used pressure points several times in real life fighting, they are not a one hit move and you are magically down (unless you are really trying to kill someone O.o; ). They simply hurt a lot and can cause a sense of numbness (not paralyzing) that can throw someone off. As for the "pleasure pressure points" I can and have used them several times when dating my ex and a few others, there are simply points and spots in joints, muscles and areas where nerves are bunched up and are much more susceptible to pain/pleasure. Not to mention if taken to the other extreme can cause serious damage to someones joints (which is why i studied pressure points to avoid accidentally doing such things since I didn't like to hurt people or accidentally kill them over a fight). Karate is also principle in using pressure points, just to double check a move I often refer to a poster that hangs in my room with a lay out of the human body and several sensitive striking points. But I completely agree it's not a super power and shouldn't be abused in matches, more of a way to level the playing field when you are not a power house or strong grappler given that you actually have knowledge of what pressure points you are affecting and how. The concept is the same when a submission hold is being placed, you are attacking weak spots and creating stress on your opponents joints, so it's basically the same thing if you look at it that way. (Besides a woman kicking a man in the groin can be crudely considered a pressure point :/ )

Re: New here and seeking advice
Also in my defense I didn't run around like an idiot going "I know martial arts!" and beating up on people. I was a runt who got picked on and later decided to play hero and protect people who got beat up on when I learned how to fight back. So it was mostly playing hero -_-; also I will say pressure points just don't compare to a strong right hook or a strong submission move and shouldn't be treated as such. (Though seeing someone awkwardly react to the tingliness they feel in a struck limb is priceless and makes it difficult sometimes to throw as good of a swing back if it gets to you, I've tasted my own medicine before.)

Re: New here and seeking advice
Kyras, I'm not sure if you're referring to me (I don't remember anyone doing that), but I certainly wasn't implying that. However, I both have no interest in fighting outside of competition, and it's not like people would agree to fight, possibly to the death, without rules, just to practice their martial arts. MMA is a sport, but it's sport fighting.
Anyway, I suppose the most well-tested unarmed combat system for real life non competition fighting around here (states) would have to be... I don't know, whatever they teach in the marines these days, or the seals.
