Are there any pressure points on the human body that can temporarily paralyze someone?

Question

I was curious after i was watching some TV show with my little brother and a girl was able to just tap a bad guy and he fell to the ground temporarily Paralyzed...

Thanks!

Answer 1

None that anybody would openly discuss on the Internet.

Answer 2

usually when a pressure point(nerve bundle) is struck it will disable the limb temporarily( like a charlie-horse lol) but any full body paralysis you see is usually just from a shock reflex( the brain sayin "wait a minit are we ok", and doing a sort-of diagnostic on the effected area and deciding whether to shut down the body to repair damage or not). fighters who take a lot of damage during a fight but just keep going have learned to control this reflex plus the effect of adrenalin acts as a by-pass to keep the body working through stress.

Answer 3

probably but just tapping it wouldnt work you would need to strike it with resonably force.

Answer 4

as soon as i read this i thought of that avatar show, i dont think so or else it would be a popular martial art

Answer 5

Despite popular opinion, pressure points are not used to cause unconsciousness or paralysis. Rather, they are used to control the opponent's actions though inflicting pain or triggering a reflex. This is why in reality you see them used in tandem with joint-locks and other such moves that arrest one's ability to fight back effectively.

Answer 6

My sifu said, (I'm not joking) that even if it's a big fella, grabbing the nuts would temporarily disarm any opponent.

That's one very obvious pressure point you can put your finger on.
