A deadly knee strike to the floating rib can cause internal bleeding. Blocking (striking) with the Shin or Calf (12/14); is the next study and the practitioner must toughen and strengthen these body parts if he expects to take and deliver blows successfully without injury. Very powerful and damaging kicks can be thrown with the shin and the calves and are almost certain for a knockout. When the calf (axe kick) is being used the weight of the blow will make the opponent feel as though the whole world was dropped upon him? Sweep, kick or strike your opponents shins and calves for the desired effect to take him down. Averaged placed blows will render opponent unable to walk or stand. A powerful enough blow to the shin can …show more content…
cause a fracture and to the calf numbness where the opponent is unable to continue fighting. Two of the most painful nerve points are the area above the ankle on the inside behind the shin bone and below the knee directly on the inside of the shin bone. BLOCKING WITH THE SHIN 12/14 (INSERT IMAGE # 95 USINGTHE SHIN TO BLOCK.JPG) 13/14 THE FOOT The Foot (13/14); is not just used for walking, and even though in the martial arts the foot is usually associated with kicking, the FOA ‘13/14’ is the study of the foot in all its wonders from attacking your opponents foot with all your 120’ weapons (Malcolm X expressed, “That Islam teaches you, if someone steps on your toe, chop off there foot. And I carry my ‘religious axe’ with me all the time), to a thorough study of the foot, as well as sweeping an opponent off his feet-so that you can walk all over him- (stomping). Also is the blocking or parrying of hands and foot strikes with your Feet’ and the usage of your feet to attack every part of the opponent’s body. In addition is the study of the dotting snake kick aka the twine snap, in which the toe part of the kick (especially when particular made shoes are worn) is used to penetrate pressure and vital points; to the back of head, eye balls, nose, mouth cheek, the philtrim/top and bottom lip, throat, solar plexus, groan and to the areas of the arms and legs. This style takes precedence in the ‘1/40’ art to kicking. The foot is for balance and strength (walk upright in the way of Allah); Attack the feet (By stomping-most people cannot withstand pressure on the toes especially when they’re not protected, or over weight) between the bones of the toes of the foot it creates excruciating pain (striking certain parts on the foot are connected to vital organs). So being overweight, out of shape or obese can play a major role on the feet. As for a heavy person his feet are already seconds away from pain because he carries so much weight during the day. In the scenario: The attacker is a heavy big person and has grabbed the smaller person, the smaller person steps on his foot/feet as a self-defense tactic, the smaller person will have managed to escape his hold and prevent any further reproach, and if he (the smaller person), decides to run the heavy big person will be unable to pursue him, because of the pain the smaller person has administered to his foot. Attacking the ankle; underneath the outside of the ankle, in fact the accupoint area under the front inside of the ankle is very painful. Attack the high instep, rupture the Achilles tendons and pierce the bottom of the foot or apply pressure under the depression of the foot where the great toe divides the rest of the toe bones. Many areas (points) on the foot are used for health, healing and medical purposes, besides self-defense. According to the FOA kicking concept of four directional kicking, the same concept applies to the foot. (1) Kicking with the front ball of the feet with the toes curled up. Only in special training are the toes used as a weapon for kicking (Snake dot kicking), minus the protection from foot wear an untrained kick with the toes can break them. (2) The outside of the foot or blade kick (most used in the side kick). (3) The back of the heel (the seventh big knuckle) can be applied in all four directions of kicking (front kick, axe kick, side kick, back kick and inward and outward circling kicks). (4) The inner part of the foot which is used to sweep or circling kicks (tripping). The instep is also used for certain kicks with a whiplash effect (round house kick), and the sole or whole bottom of the foot/heel is applied for stomping. STEPPING ON THE FOOT OR ANKLE, FOR TOTAL SUBMISSION (INSERT IMAGE # 96 USE THE FOOT TO ATTACK THE FOOT.JPG) The Back or Spine (14/14); is the alignment of the skeletal and the human structure is what separates us from the lower species (Primates-/animals) of mammals. A few notes on the Back or Spine is that, the S’ shape or curve in the Back-once hunched excretes a Cerebrospinal fluid which gives us power. It also takes on the characteristics of the cat stance and the formidable boxer’s position. The spine is symbolically shaped like a Cobra snake or the Uraeus serpent as it coils a technique in yoga meditation. Also the Moroccan sword or in some instances the crescent moon. The Father Allah stated that most of the attacking points were right in front of a man-the same concept holds true for the Back. The three ways of the 14/14 Back use are: (1) Striking your opponents vital areas on the Back/spine. (2) Attack by smothering, pressing and smashing the opponent with the use of your Back. (3) Being able to withstand blows to the Back (turtle shell) the Back is naturally strong. Three major organs located in the back are (1) the lungs, (2) Vertebra spine with nervous system and (3) the kidneys. Most attacks from the rear are done by stealth, where your opponent first contact with you is you’re Back (It is said, “The best attack is the one not seen”). Techniques practiced against rear attacks are featured in the thorough study of Aikido in the techniques of Ushiro; the sixth pillar of training. Areas to strike on the Back The 14/14 Back chart shows various points to strike for the desired effect, however a few strikes listed here will be sufficient.
Strike the base of the skull (from the 2nd to 7th cervical Vertebra) leading to the beginning of the Back or spinal nervous system with the fist (1/36), use the fore-knuckles panther strike (13/36), a well-placed Shuto (23/36), or an open hand-center palm strike (27/36). Striking this area causes unconsciousness, damage to the brain/skull, crippling and even death. Striking the upper middle area of the Back, between the blades is very painful; use the panther knuckle strike (13/36), Ridge hand karate chop (23/36) or the Elbow (5/14) a penetrating or powerful enough blow can cause the opponent to cough up blood, paralyze or crippling, shut down organs or can kill. Palm slap (27/36) the area of the Back where it first begins to curve into an S-shape, it is damaging to the lungs and it will make the opponent cough up blood. Striking to the sides of the thoracic vertebra within the very center of the Back cause’s paralyses and in some extreme cases may cause possible death. A heavy blow (1/36) may knock the vertebrates off line which is the cause for many dysfunctions and Back related
problems. Using a powerful blow such as the hammer fist (9/36) to the brachial area where the muscles builds up around the shoulders can cause numbness and blackout. About elbow level toward the back is located the floating rib, a damaging blow (1/36-6/36, or by an elbow or kick) can cause fracture, internal bleeding and death. (1/36-fist or elbow) striking to the lower small of Back, may cause crippling effects, as there are no ribcage or protection to this sensitive area leading to internal organs. Uppercut strike (6/36) to kidney area can cause inflammation, malfunctions or lead to internal bleeding and death. Knuckle strikes (10/36) to the belt line around the waist create numbness and pain and in rear penetration…death. Also pinching sensitive areas on the back is very annoying. In fact a blow to any area of the spine can be damaging or fatal. Use the knee (11/14) or kick (1/40) up into the Coccyx which will disrupt the entire spinal column and can be crippling. Just as massaging is used for healing the opposite effect when struck can be detrimental when applied to the back muscles. Using the tiger claw (33/36), Crain (34/36) and Dragon (25/36) finger techniques of pressure, against vital points to the back can cause painful effects: poke, pinch, grab, twist and claw. Also rub to cause friction-then strike the same area to open its weak points. As stated earlier an FOA man should be able to give and take blows, in studying and learning how to open the vital strike one will understand how to close the vital points. To further enhance your knowledge in this field (The 1-to-14) it is advised to study and memorize the vital point chart and how and when to hit it, also techniques to Messaging, and Chiropractology, Acupuncture, Osteology and Orthopedics or the study of the entire Neuromusculoskeletal system-PEACE.
Commotio cordis occurs after a blunt, non-penetrating blow to the precordial area of the chest wall that results in the induction of an often fatal ventricular fibrillation in a heart that does not have a preexisting structural or electrophysiological cardiovascular disease (Yabek, 2011). The blow is often perceived to be irrelevant, yet can cause a debilitating injury or even death. Death may be sudden or after a brief period of lucidity with purposeful movement prior to collapse (Yabek, 2011). The emphasis of commotio cordis in this paper will be on it occurring in sports, as it is most commonly happens there. It has also been known to occur when impact of the chest occurs, such as a steering wheel during a motor vehicle accident, playful boxing, bodily contacts, parental discipline, and even a closed fist punch to the chest (Maron, Goham, Kyle, Estes III, & Link, 2002).
...time the athlete is just fine, but there is the small chance that the brain injury is worse than it appears. If I were in this situation, to me the health of the athlete is more important than winning a game. If the blow was an extremely hard hit than I would be worried for further injury of the brain, such as swelling and bleeding.
Sports Medicine is a medical field that specializes with physical fitness, treatment and prevention of injuries related to sports and exercise. It was introduced around the early Greek and Roman era when the first modern Olympic Games took place. The Greek felt they could do something to help heal and prevent injuries that the athletes were receiving. Now in sports medicine, certain injuries can only be assessed and treated by specific physicians. These physicians can include physical therapists, athletic trainers, and strength and conditioning coaches. Although sports physicians are most commonly seen by athletes after they are hurt so they can be treated, there are some physicians that are seen before an injury occurs so that they can learn how to prevent injuries.

Why is shaking a baby so dangerous? A baby’s head and neck are especially vulnerable to injury because the head is so large and the neck muscles are still weak. A baby’s neck is to weak to support their heavy head so when the baby is shaken the heads swings back and forth. In addition, the baby’s brain and blood vessels are very fragile and easily damaged by whiplash mo...

The injuries are not always obvious as abusers often make sure the signs of their attacks are hidden under clothing. For many women there is a real and constant threat of death because of the seriousness of the abuse.
To a person not conversant with this art, Jujitsu may be considered as a foul or derogatory term in Japanese. However, Jujitsu us one of the most effective and deadly forms of martial arts taught today. Unique among other forms of combat, Jujitsu holds the position of a “parent art”, of from which other forms of martial arts such as Aikido, Judo and several Karate styles were extracted. Jujitsu is a combination of all levels of combat. It incorporates chokes, striking, grappling, nerve and pressure point attacks, joint locks, redirection of momentum and throws.

There are many theories regarding the mechanism of concussion but the precise mechanism is still not clear-cut. It is known that concussion is a clinical syndrome of neurological impairment that results from traumatic biomechanical forces transmitted to the brain that can occur either directly to the brain or indirectly to the brain. (5) To further explain the term concussion, it is important to know that it is a change in brain function following a force to the head, which may be accompanied by temporary loss of consciousness but is identified in conscious individuals with measures of neurologic and cognitive dysfunction.
