I will give my two cents... a pressure point isn't something used to fight with, as the only tool at least They can be used to direct, move, and push an opponent in a direction you want. Using them with enough force to stop somebody could kill them or really hurt them.
They aren't some tiny spot to touch and all hell breaks loose, but some spots, like under the nose, jaws, can be very handy to use in the proper situation. Take getting a drunk out of a car that won't listen to you, you can grab his jaw bones, pull his head and yank him right out of the car, all without drawing a gun or opening a door.
The real use of the pressure points, is the use of them with deadly or crippling force. Such as an arm bar, neck or leg locks, neck shots, and more all use pressure points and really are designed to be used with deadly/crippling force. We just don't use them that way.
And I don't care what someone else said above, all law enforcement is trained to attack and use pressure points. We have zones on the body we are trained to attack with areas that we can get in trouble by hitting. With the asp/pr24 and our hands, all are one shot and done pressure points to totally stop an attack. Like a side of the leg shot, I don't care how big and bad ass you are, you will stop attacking when that pressure point is hit.
