Question
Does traditional jujitsu involves nerves attacks and pressure points?And is it a deadly martial art.?
Hi Florian: Yes it can involve pressure points which is the nerve points. Jujitsu can be a deadly art if pushed to the extreme. Such as the chokes if not control can kill, also strikes to the nose and bridge of the nose can drive carilage into the brain. Strikes to the temple, behind the ears, base of the skull can all cause death. Hope this gives you the answer you needed. Thanks for the question, contact me anytime. Sandi
