Everyone, regardless of size, has these fallible points. Follow the steps for increasing the force of your strikes. Screaming with each strike not only startles an attacker, it alerts any people around you and likewise helps channel you fear into aggression.

Strike a lot of times to the same target.

You're able to hit just has hard with the palm of your hand with much less risk of harm to yourself.

While working with these tender areas, pressure points or motor nerve points, full on strikes would cause lasting damage and even 5% hits might have an effect on people, occasionally there's even a delay before the reaction. Due to this, we're really cautious. Hitting these areas might have the effect of shutting down that limb and might likewise bring on unconsciousness.
