United Brachial Plexus Network, Inc.

From a martial Arts column.


The brachial plexus is a bundle of nerves that controls movement and feeling for arms, forearms and hands. It runs from the side of the neck down through the shoulders. Many martial arts and self-defense classes teach students how to strike the brachial plexus origin to stun an opponent.

Difficulty: Easy Instructions


Find the brachial plexus origin
1.Step 1
Find the spot on either side of the neck where the neck and shoulders meet. The brachial plexus for the right side of the body begins on the right-hand side where the neck and shoulder meets; the spot on the left-hand side controls the left side of the body.

2.Step 2
Target either side of the neck just above the spot where the neck and shoulder meets to find the brachial plexus origin.

3.Step 3
Apply pressure to this spot to cause pain, mental stunning, interrupt motor activity to the affected arm and cause temporary dysfunction on one side of the upper body. Even mild pressure can cause brief periods of unconsciousness and temporary inability to move the arm.
