A pressure point (Chinese: Japanese: < span lang = "ja-Latn" title = "Japanese text"> ky? sho ?? "point vital, tender place "; Sinhala: ???/???? ????? Nila/Marma Sthana (in Angampora); Telugu: Marma Sthanam ; Malayalam: < span lang = "ml" title = "text Malayalam"> ???????? marmam ; Tamil: ?????? varmam ) is derived from meridian points in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Indian Ayurveda and Siddha medicines, and the field of martial arts, and refers to a areas in the human body that can produce significant pain or other effects when manipulated with certain way.
The concept of pressure points spread through the Tamil martial art called Varma kalai, which is a martial art that concentrates on the pressure points of the body. The concept of pressure points is also present in the old Japanese martial arts school; in a 1942 article in Shin Budo magazine Takuma Hisa affirms the existence of a tradition that links the first development of the press-to-shell attack to Shinra Sabur? Minamoto no Yoshimitsu (1045-1127).
Hancock and Higashi (1905) published a book that shows a number of important points in Japanese martial arts.
The pressure-fighting battle account appears in the Chinese fiction novel Wuxia and is known by the name Dim Mak, or "Death Touch", in popular Western culture in the 1960s.
While it is undeniable that there are sensitive points on the human body where even relatively weak pressure can cause significant pain or serious injury, the association ky? Sho with the meaning of Death has proven to be untrue.
