"Learn how to target the weaknesses of an attacker and effectively exploit them in order to defend yourself. The 36 Deadly Bubishi Points gives detailed explanations on how the pressure points of traditional Chinese medicine found in the Bubishi, the venerable Chinese ""Bible of Karate,"" are used in attacking an opponent and how to defend yourself against such attacks. This book closely examines these vital points and the science behind them.

While much has been written about the vital points and their medicinal importance, thanks to the popularity of practices such as acupuncture, martial research on the subject has been lacking. Cardwell discusses the vital points from the perspective of an experienced martial artist-including how the body's vital points are related to the 8 extraordinary vessels and the 12 main meridians which circulate energy throughout the body.

Through detailed step-by-step instructions and over 140 photographs and illustrations, The 36 Deadly Bubishi Points shows how this knowledge can be employed in self-defense. Respond to an attacker by employing these ancient methods in modern, violent situations."
