Vital Points


VITAL POINTS STRIKES
HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AN IMPORTANT  PART OF KARATE BUNKAI.  
                                                                    
Why wouldn't they be ?
  
Vital points strikes are effective for fighting, and can level the odds when you are facing bigger, stronger, or faster opponents in a hostile situation.
Points strikes are very much an essential part of Karate bunkai as shown in many Kata, provided you know how to interpret them accurately.

Many Karate Kata bunkai contain kyusho points striking techniques.

But you should never rely on kyusho jutsu or Atemi exclusively.

Bunkai also contains throws, trips/sweeping movements, locks, parrying, strangles/chokes,
as well as the obvious strikes to the most sensitive areas.
