pressure point fighter against kick boxer who would win?

Answer 1

Give me a break. Pressure point fighters are the biggest crock in martial arts today. If anything could give martial arts a worse name I would like to know what it is. If anyone is wondering what a McDojo is, well......if it has "pressure point" attacks heavy in the cirriculm then it is a McDojo, or better yeat a shitdojo. Pressure point enthusiasts can suck it easy.....

Answer 2

the kick boxer purely because as has been stated already they would use strikes that are proved to work and they would be ready for most counter attacks if they have sparred at all. Also they are used to accepting a certain level of pain so even if the pressure point "fighter" could get one on target the chances are he would need very strong hands/ fingers to make it count.

if the pressure guy is close enough to use it then he will be taking multiple hits as he will be well within strike range of the three other limbs!!!!!!

pressure points have there uses but in my view are better suited to self defence as they are quick and a thumb in the eye or kick to the groin/knee will floor any one

Answer 3

I don't understand how people can still believe in these fake martial arts. The only chance the pressure point attacks would do anything to someone in good fight shape, is if they were amazingly strong and could hit the person as hard as they can in the same spots over an over. But that is exactly what a kick-boxer does, and he has superior power in the technique of his hits because he uses his whole body motion to strike. So he has superior power in each hit, greater range, and most likely be better trained in an actual fight sense. And can also hit you in points of pressure with stronger and more solid attacks

Answer 4

Could the pressure point fighter get in close enough to strike along the meridian line repeatedly? I don't know enough about it to know how the style works, but I would imagine it requires getting in close. In which case a kick boxer would select a fighting style which allowed him/her to deliver punches/kicks and enable them to keep the other person at a reasonable distance.

Answer 5

Yet another vague "who would win" question using overly broad categories. Fighting is not a videogame where you just have to press the right buttons. But there are no stupid questions, just stupid answers.

SO, first I will give the standard answer.

Chuck Norris, Toshishiro Obata, and Royce Gracie would kill them both horribly in a bloody hurricane of armbars, slashes, and roundhouse kicks.

Next I will give a nonstandard answer.

They are the same thing.

Ya got to hit them SOMEWHERE, right? And it should HURT, right?

BTW some people do not have certain pressure points or don't feel much pain for one reason or another. Many grown men are completely insensitive to the one behind the clavicle and the thigh, for example.

Answer 6

this question is like asking who would win between these two:

A 70 year old parapeligic midget or an olympic powerlifter on pcp during a roid rage holding a louiville slugger?

people who only study pressure points fail to recognize the reality that in fighting you don't choose your opponent, and they are not going to be compliant AND in any situation where these two would likely get into a fight there will be two additional factors AGAINST the "pressure point" fighter.

1- adrenalin; and

2- ALCOHOL!

both of which numb your feeling and make use of pressure points less effective.

the biggest issue however would simply be this:

THE PRESSURE POINTS IN UNARMED FIGHTING ARE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO PULL OFF AND AIM PROPERLY AND MIGHT NOT WORK ON ALL BODY TYPES EVEN IF THEY WOULD OTHERWISE WORK OVER ADRENALIN.

Odds are so stacked against a "pressure point" fighter, he might as well be fighting a "point sparrer" (which is what I actually thought you originally said when I posted my midget example.

So basically here you are saying: "who would win: someone who uses a high risk, low return (questionable return) move that may not work even if landed, or someone that uses practical long range strikes and kicks that will work even if adrenalin or alcohol is a factor (you said kickboxer, not sanda or muai thai- so I'm excluding the use of throws and elbows and knees from the mix).

EDIT: I am merely saying "Unarmed" because there are points on the body that do react as pressure points, and are guaranteed to work when using a knife or other object or weapon that can puncture your skin deeply.

Answer 7

Only Spock from Star Trek can use pressure points properly in battle. and we all know he isnt real.

so the other guy.

my logic says this: the kickboxer has trained against moving bodies and attacks that vary. the pressure point guy trains against theory and non moving, compliant bodies, with a cute choreographed fall to the floor routine attached.

logic wins again.

Answer 8

The kickboxer in about 5 seconds. Try using pressure points when someones punch your teeth in.

Pressure points only work in a stalled grappling situation.

Answer 9

This one time, in MMA class. (we share our space with a Kung Fu dojo) a "Dim Mak practitioner" came in to roll with us. He rolled with my buddy and unleashed a torrent of "median line pressure point strikes" right before being choked or armbarred. He would try a myriad of pressure point spots to try to get something (tried using elbow and tricep pressure points to get out of chokes etc). Not a single one of them worked.

He said "Wow, you must have amazing Ki control" to which my buddy remarked "Naw man, you were just poking me"

He then said "Well you must be really strong or have high pain tolerance, that should have stopped you cold (speaking on the median line strikes"

My Buddy "Naw man, you were just poking me. It was annoying but not really painful or anything"

Nice little example of mystical Ki or pressure point stuff against someone...

So, while I feel this had to be a loaded *** question. However if you sincerely are curious and not just trolling...

A Kickboxer would destroy a pressure point fighter (someone using pressure points to win). The use of pressure points is pretty impractical against a resisting opponent. They can be effective in certain pain compliance techniques, and to get someone to move a certain way. Some are uncomfortable but hardly fight ending.

Answer 10

It depend on the situation, Does the pressure point fighter have grove on when fighting, is it in a ring??
If both are pro and at more or less same level, in a open space free area; a pressure point should kill in one move.
