Pressure Points & Stuns

Question 1

List & Explain the 5 Control Principles

Answer 1

Pain Compliance: the use of stimulus pain to control resistive behaviour

Stunning Techniques:
The stimulation of overwhelming sensory input that is sudden, intense and unexpected

Distraction Techniques:
Weaken motor action by changing the thought process

Balance Displacement:
The use of control techniques that displace balance through the principles of leverage

Motor Dysfunction:
A control striking technique that over stimulates motor nerves. Resulting in temporary muscle impairment

Question 2

Identify the two methods of application & the most applicable control principle for each

Answer 2

Touch Pressure:
- Pain Compliance

Striking
- Motor Dysfunction

Question 3

List the 5 steps that should be followed to correctly apply touch pressure to a nerve pressure point

Answer 3
