You face your attacker. It's going to be a close-range fight. Your
assailant grabs you, and drops to the ground in pain. You already know
this nerve strike. The beauty of this application is you execute your
nerve strikes with your knee.
Nerve Strikes From Childhood AnticsWhen you were a kid, did you ever
receive (or give) a "Charlie Horse?"
It's that sickeningly painful feeling you get when someone raps his or
her knuckles on the center of one of your muscles.
When we were kids, the older boys in the neighborhood would pound us a
good one on the edge of the biceps or on the middle of the thigh. Boy,
did those punches hurt -- a nerve strike, right on the muscle. Ouch.
Using the Thigh Nerve StrikeEarly in my martial-arts studies with
Steve Golden (original Bruce Lee and Ed Parker student), the more
senior students reacquainted me with the nerve strike on the thigh
muscle.
Except, they executed their thigh nerve strikes with their knees.
We would be in close, fighting. I would concentrate on the hands, and
make the beginner's error of forgetting about the lower lines of
attack....
