Kim is a comprehensive guide to pressure point striking, demystifying the lore of vital points and their applications in self-defence and combat sports. This book synthesises Eastern and Western theories to provide a deep understanding of what makes vital point striking work, including its relationship with pain and fear.

With over thirty years experience in the martial arts and in-depth research, Sang H. Kim has created a complete guide to the art and science of vital point striking, covering topics such as fighting zones, bodily weapons, striking directions and angles, and applications for various combat styles.
