    About this ebook

    Advanced Pressure Points - The System of Pressure Points.

    Building on from the eBook 'Pressure Points: The Deadly Touch', this eBook looks at Pressure Points as a complete system!
    Written by Bruce Everett Miller an expert martial artist and someone who actually understands Western Medical and scientific theory this book gives answers. It describes a system ('The System of Pressure Points') which encompasses much more than simply hitting different structures of the body.

    The System encompasses everything from simple pain production at the low end of the spectrum, through massive pain production and on to balance control and incapacitating your opponent through their own reflexes and/or producing a knockout.

    Unlike many methods, the closer you look at The System the BETTER you will understand it and the more you can use it! Yet there is no need to memorize a massive number of rules that might get in your way if you should be in a fight 'on the street'. If you understand The System you will know how to make it work and your opponent will have a VERY BAD DAY!

    The System uses Western medical terminology gives you exact explanations and locations so there is no confusion on what points work or why.

    Using Western medical science also provides a solution for the problems that some martial artists have with non-responders. This is not a book for a beginner it is a book for the serious martial artist who wants to improve their understanding of what makes the body work (and how you can interrupt those processes) and to take their defensive and fighting abilities to a higher level.

      Advanced Pressure Points

      I HAD to write this book because of the numerous questions I have had regarding how to use pressure points, knockouts, and poison hands on the street. There have been many good questions asked and many good friends made from the material in the first book. This second book is for them!

      In a nutshell, what I wrote and said in my first pressure points book was the basics. The book ‘Pressure Points: The Deadly Touch’, is a great foundation, but it was just that, a foundation. In order to be able to successfully use these techniques to maximum advantage in a real combat situation, you are going to have to know some more material.

      Now, I will say flat out, if you do not have the first book, please get it and read it now. If you have read the first book, (and by that I mean REALLY recently) then please do so again. I will not waste my time nor yours repeating what you should already know and this includes the anatomical terminology.

      Actually, I will be repeating a small amount of the material from the first book. I will be doing so from a different viewpoint than I had in the first book. Why the repeat? Because while I may have touched on some of these points, I did not elaborate on the implications and from the questions I have received since the original book came out, it is obvious that some people miss the real power of pressure points because they do not understand all the implications. This is because full understanding does take more information than it is possible to present in a single (small) book.

      I will address some of the most repeated questions that I have had since I put out my first book on pressure points. I also hope (in the last chapter) to tie it all together so that you are presented with technique combinations so that you can understand why the ADVANCED usage of the pressure point SYSTEM is vastly different to merely grabbing and squeezing or striking a few points. In short, I plan to leave you with an understanding of a workable system rather than just a collection of data.

      This book, therefore, is about understanding the system and the hierarchy of pressure points and putting it all together, not just memorizing points or data! There will be enough data and examples to explain various specifics (and to keep your interest if you are a pragmatic ‘hit them there and they fall down’ type of person), but I really want you to go beyond the examples and think about the complete system that I am presenting.

      Of course, you do have one resource nowadays that wasn’t available when I originally wrote the first edition of the first book, and that is the Internet. I do have a web page on the Internet which is a wonderful place if you want to ask me specific questions. In other words, if you don’t understand something, ASK. I want you to get full value out of this book (and, in fact, all my materials) and that may mean I need to rehash something if I wasn’t as clear as I thought I was. Besides, if enough people ask about the same thing, I will either update the book to cover it better or write another book to cover those questions. Either way you get what you need, but I won’t know if you don’t ask.
