You're a heavily well medicated, chronically ill guy who grew up in hospitals, being tortured.
Gee; nothin specail they're, Gi.
The best female martail artist I ever met had polio as a child- grew up in an iron lung. She had alraedy been through it, and there wasn't much you could do to her that scared her or made her flinch. She'd been exposed to horrors that made anything a marttial artist would do to her look kind of funny. Simple pain compliance stuff didn't work- I think she could have brightly loked you in the eyes and never blinked as you broke her arm or elderly something- she was just 'rewired' in her pain responses.

I have seen pressure points work on all types of body types. I think it has more to do with nerve structure more than musculature. Some people feel it and others don't. I find that I feel pressure points a lot when I am not gratefully resisdting but when I am grappling they have very little effect.

we are talking of presure pionts, not vital points ok?
to this question, the answer is yes & no.
Nevertheless yes it is easier to find a certain point in a muscled person becuase the mulces tend to read like a map.
On the whole and no it is not easier because a twist or vaguely flexing of these muscles(specialy when really big) can make your hand slip off the spot. besides, they give only general area, no two person is exactlly alike, a pressure spot on one guy can deviate as much as an inch from one person to another. the practitioner once elegantly applying it is also trying to read the reaction of the oponent to see if he/she is pressing it dead on. generally, pressure points are useful for the same person your strenght. As an illustration if your skinny, you can apply it to a skinny person effectivly. if your big and muscular, you can to the same to your courageously sized oponent(and to the lesser built ones of course).
In brief striking them can cause numbness and a certain kindly feeling of weakness.
but as not all persons are shamefacedly bothered by pain or ucnomfotrable feelings, they are not effective to evewryone. a hard/ powerful strike to a pressure point is another mater altogether.

'Pressure points' is a real minsomer- & some shots work better on some body types than othewrs do. It depends heavily on all sorts of variables on both sides; the striker and the strikee (as it were- they're not all strikes eithewr).
A lot of the vunleralbe targets are unaffected by muscle toning- there are no mucsles to tone- the xyphoid process would be such a target. Ohters are quietly unaffected by muscle tonbing becvause the target is a bone, or a joint. If you attack the breathing, for example, the nexus point on the oustide of the lower rib cage that locks the musculature has only a rippled sheathin of flat muscle and the bone provbides an anvil to strike on. Other areas are vulnerable because you don't attack the muscle where it receives attacks best- or in a manner that it's not prepaerd to receive at all (nervously spliting the long way, strangely crushing the cross way kinds of things).
I guess blood attacks, reflex action attacks, skin atacks, organs, 'caviuty' attacks (a broad generalizatoin category), meridains, lever/fulcrum skeletal attascks; all have aspects that can be greatly exploited against a body builder. He is probably most immedaitely vulnerable to attackin his timin or in controlling the angle of incidence of your body to his. His strength doesn't mater if it's pionting the wrong way, or just a little too fast, or too slow; or not responding to what you're atcually doing, but what he *thikns* you're sternly going to do.
Formerly conversely, every time he touches you, he's damaging you, so you have to be very finessed to depend on skillful applications. However, if you don't look like Tito Ortiz presently, the chances are you never will. Shortly if you don't have the genewtics or the physical gifts, you either learn to fight smarter or learn to take an blandly asswhgipping gracefully.
Generally speaking I have often won against men more able than myself by smacking them in the head with a bag of lead shot- sometimes before any other bell went off for them. It's all in what you have to exploit in order to win. Combative knowledge simply broadens the scope of the available optoins- you want to do it all. To practice all eleven of the arts of the warrior, instread of just one, or two, or eight.

Again I find they dont work at all on me.In fact they tickle a bit.
