Points of the Back of the Arm
TRIPLE WARMER # 11
This is a knead-point one inch above the elbow. It lies over the tendon which connects the triceps to the elbow joint. At the point where a nerve connects to a tendon lies a collection of nerve cells and tendon cells which monitor the condition of the joint. This nerve/tendon cluster is called a "body of Golgis". Stimulating this point causes the muscles of the elbow and shoulder to reflexively relax, allowing the joint to be easily locked.
TRIPLE WARMER # 12
This is a hit-point located directly in the middle of the triceps. A strike against this point while grasping the wrist will lock out the arm and shoulder, knocking an opponent to the ground.
Though everyone has these pressure points, not everyone is equally susceptible on every point. Individuals with powerful forearms are resistant to blows against LI-10 and L-5. People of African descent are resistant to blows against TW-12. However, even when there is resistance to the technique applied at one of these points, it can still be used to set-up a corresponding point elsewhere. And, if any point is resistant, the next point up is usually very sensitive. For example, individuals resistant at L-5 will generally respond well to a strike against LI-13.
