Points of the Outside of the Arm
TRIPLE WARMER #3
This is a push-point, located on the back of the hand between the bones of the fourth and fifth fingers, one-third the distance from the knuckles to the wrist. This point is used in joint manipulation techniques against the wrist. Because the smaller bones of the hand are delicate, this can also be a hit-point.
NOTE: The triple warmer meridian is associated with the thyroid, an organ unknown to the ancient Chinese.
SMALL INSTINE #6
This push-point is located on the outside of the arm (opposite H-6). It is at the base of the styloid process of the ulna at a dorsal branch of the ulnar nerve.
LUNG #7
This point lies directly on the top of the radius, about 1/2" up from L-8. It responds to a rub and loosens the fist. When grabbing the wrist, this point must be manipulated towards the outside of the radial bone.
LARGE INTESTINE #7
This point lies on the outside of the radius, about the middle of the forearm. It is located opposite to L-6. It is at the end of the extensor capri radialis brevis muscle.
SMALL INSTINE #7
This point is located on the outside of the ulna about midway along the forearm opposite to the Lower Mid-forearm point (M-UE-28). Strike this point to release and bend the wrist.
LARGE INTESTINE #10
This is a hit-point located beween the radiobrachialis and the extensor carpi radialis longus, on a branch of the radial nerve. It is approximately one inch down from the elbow joint on the outside of the forearm. Striking this point will produce numbness in the arm, and cause an opponent's head to come forward, exposing head and neck points to follow-up attack.
LARGE INTESTINE #13
This a hit-point located two inches above the crease of the elbow in the hollow on the outside of the biceps. Attack this point in and towards the body to bend the elbow and release the hand. LI-13 responds best to a strike, but may also be pressed.
