I just have a question, can anyone give me advice/link me on some pressure point techniques? Such as, there's a point in the back of the head that if hit hard enough, your eyes can stick out of your sockets.

I've always wanted to learn some of that, but not THAT severe, just something to make the opponent fall easily etc.

Hammers create their own pressure points.

EDIT: GOD! Sorry, sorry.

I don't understand... it's a perfectly valid way to kill a man. A bit hard to get him in the necessary position though. Oh, and use gloves, full arm ones.

imagine where you least want someone to put pressure on you

and do it to them.

thumbs in the eyeballs hurt
nuts
throat
the knee is weak if you kick it ;)

a sub PE teacher in highschool claimed a hand could be easily ripped apart if you grabbed the fingers and pulled, true or not, i dont know, but it would scare the hell out of someone just to grab the fingers and threaten it.

kicking in the shins hurts like hell with the point of a shoe, kneeing in the small of the back hurts like hell, any action on the nose will immediately cause someone to shut their eyes or blink, giving opportunity for a number of actions....like a knee/kick/ounch to the nads

but you should know all of that already, and probably just need the resolve to actually do it, which sounds like its coming up anytime now.

Did you never learn the "elephant's kiss" (at least that's what I *think* we called it back home, can't remember for sure)? You go up to a guy and you knee him in the side of the leg. if you hit the right spot, that leg becomes unusable for about a minute or so.

but honestly, fighting is fun to think about, but won't get you anywhere, especially witht he sue-happy pussies that abound these days. If they try to provoke you, just insult them and ignore them.

School might have some peer mediation service where they help smooth out bad interpersonal situations.

Look up stuff under the heading: Assertiveness Training

All my friends tell me to start standing up for myself, but i just can't. I'm not a fighter, and if i get angry enough i might kill the guy because i start fisting untill i get tired.

A real friend would jump in and help. Go meet some immigrants, theyer tight knit, they help each other out.

..if your serious and this isn't a sympathy ruse get into some kind of martial arts class and learn self control and personal defense. The person you save may be you. Keep a log book of these harrassement events..date/time. So if something happens down the road you'll have documentation to fall back on.

Martial Arts classes (muay thai is effective indeed...)

Otherwise work in the gym, and slowly work your muscles. You'll gain self-confidence after lifting weights for a few months. Then you'll gain enough self confidence to not fear.

Pushing the person back pretty well can help them lose morale too...

Hit them back, you may not win the fight, but they will not bother you ever again.

Just like you, some guys in high school used to bully me daily (they also used to bully other guys and harasses girls for dates) Then suddenly something just snapped within me and I fought back breaking two of their teeth and my own spectacles and a few window panes in the process. Since that day they leave me alone and I actually got dates with girls who were impressed with my aggression.

Wait for one kid after school... one kid u know has to stay late for a sport or something. Kick the living ****** out of him. Black eyes, whatever u can do. Next day tell everyone u did it. No one will ever ****** with u again.

I did that freshman year of high school... from then on I was never ****** with. I'm 5'8 140, but everyone thought i was crazy. Even at parties and stuff no one would say anyhting.
