Well after a migraine's worth of whispered conversations in chat rooms, msn chat and multiple misunderstandings, I've finally found out the 2 problematic issues. My enormous ego led me to believe I'm a good writer and I was among my peers in this forum. To those who have seen my pictures, the thought has become a habit over the many many many years.

I'm without a doubt, one of the most ancient people on this forum. I remember at 15, I made a ridiculous pact with my best friend that when or if we got ancient enough to hit 30 whole years old, we would commit suicide together! Crazy right?

The 2nd issue is I -used- to think I was a pretty good writer. I looked around the forum and thought, "Hey there are some damn good writers on here! I like it!" I saw some not so good writers that still have lots of people threading with them. It doesn't take a genius to figure out who's got skills and who doesn't. Or so I thought.

I usually harp about how, even if it hurts, I appreciate honesty. In trying to get to the heart of a forthright, simple answer, I had 2 hours of whispers, chats, offended feelings on several people's viewpoints, including my own. But after all those unnecessary, overworked and drawn out processes, I got the truth and had an epiphany.

People think I'm not a good writer. I know, I know--'drama queen,' ego maniac, conceited -insert insult here-. It's a tough thing to admit to when you've had a preconceived notion of yourself for longer than most of the people on this forum have been alive. I won't let myself become an ageist, but it's very disconcerting to have so few of my own age group around.

Hey it's not easy to admit faults and at my age it should be easier. It's safe to say that I could easily be the mother of the majority of people on Mizahar. *winces* And the worst part is that *shudder* it's some kind of...

With an assailant you can also use the fingers mentioned above. If they are trying to hug or hold you against your will or have you on the ground, you will use the fingers but with a sharp, jabbing motion. It won't cause lasting injury or break bones but it will often cause the assailant enough pain to if not release you, at least lighten his hold.
Under the jaw- Directly under and behind the point of the jaw is a "V" shaped area. It also has a cluster of nerves that can cause pain to an assailant. To find it on yourself, use your thumb to the inside area and you fingers on the outside surface of the jaw. Squeeze and push up against the bone. During an assault, this can have the same results as the nerve cluster above,
Front Of Torso:
Larynx (Adam's apple)- This is a very vulnerable area in anyone's throat. It is at the front of the throat and many of the possible strikes can cause serious injury. Movies like to show people reaching up and "ripping the throat" out of the bad guys but that is strictly Hollywood's wishful thinking. Strong blows can cause difficulty breathing, rupture of the trachea (windpipe), bleeding and even death.
Almost any solid strike will be affective in the area but a few suggestions are ridge hands, punches, four finger punches, chop, elbow and most any kick.
Base of throat- Like the larynx, this area is very delicate. One good thing about it though is you can practice carefully against yourself or a sparring partner. To locate this spot, find the hollow at the base of the throat. There is a sort of "V" notch where the collarbones come together. It is into this soft spot you want to apply pressure. GENTLY push into it with your fingers or thumb.
If some fool that really isn't trying to do you bodily harm is pestering you, simply pressing into the spot will get them away. For the others sharp finger jabs, one finger fists and spear hands can all be used.
Zyphoid process and solar plexus- The zyphoid process is...

Vital or striking points are those areas that a strike will have the most effect on. As such, it is in the best interest of those who study Karate to know where the vital striking points are in the human body. They are the ones by which a trained Karateka could incapacitate, cause unconsciousness or even the death of an opponent. There are approximately forty of these vital areas that are taught in karate. The following are some of the easiest to locate and hit.
Facial Areas:
Temple- Contrary to popular belief, the skull isn't thinner in this area: it is simply flatter. A strong blow to this area can cause disorientation or unconsciousness but it is due to referral shock to the brain because the strike, not to a weakness in the area. The possible reactions that an assailant may have to a good blow in this area is as stated, disorientation (punch drunk), unconsciousness, severe pain, and seizures and in extreme cases, death.
The best types of strikes for this area are the palm heel, hammer fist, back fist, elbow and knee.
Eyeball- Any strike to the eyes themselves can do lasting injury so be you do not use this target when "playing around" with someone. It should be used only when your life is in danger or when under the threat of serious bodily harm. Blindness, corneal scratching or tearing and other types of injuries are possible.
The best types of strikes for this area are finger jabs, clawing, stabbing and what some styles call the "chicken beak."
Base of nose- This is the area at the top of the nose where it meets the forehead between the eyes. It is also a subject of many ridiculous myths. Striking someone in this area does NOT cause the "bone in the nose" to be shoved up into the brain. As with other strikes and points on the head the results are usually due to the shock to the brain. The advantages to using a strike to this area can be the assailant drawing back, eyes watering and/or swelling, bloody nose (often a psychological...
