If the technique did not work, they would not be still teaching it several years later. I didn't even need to see the video before I knew what the OP was talking about, it's that widely taught and used, to this day.
And the fact is, you don't need to hit both point at the same time. Base of the neck, even a strong slap, and a downward and in motion, will do it.
Most of the time it happens and is effective because of repetitive training. When you do something over and over, hundreds of times (even if not actually striking a human being), when it's time to defend yourself or another person, your training will kick in, and without you even thinking you will refer back to your repetitive training.
But what the fuck do I know, over 10 years of civillian law enforcement and federal training, how would I know, heh.  |
Civilian law enforcment and federal training! Wow, the good stuff.
With all due respect, I train to fight 4 hours a day, 6 days a week. Live, real training, not 1000 kicks in the air and some forms. I've taught self defense seminars, and yes even to law enforcement.
What you've been taught might work with a completely untrained fighter, but I'm telling you, this pressure point nonsense will get you beaten up by a real fighter every single time.
