“Pressure point”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

A pressure point (Chinese: {{lang|zh|穴位}}; Japanese: {{lang|ja-Latn|kyūsho}} {{lang|ja|急所}} "vital point, tender spot";^[1] Sinhala: {{lang|si|නිල/මර්ම ස්ථාන}} Nila/Marma Sthana (in Angampora); Telugu: {{lang|te|మర్మ స్థానం}} Marma Sthanam; Malayalam: {{lang|ml|മര്‍മ്മം}} marmam; Tamil: {{lang|ta|வர்மம்}} varmam) derives from the meridian points in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Indian Ayurveda and Siddha medicine, and the field of martial arts, and refers to an area on the human body that may produce significant pain or other effects when manipulated in a specific manner.^[2]

The concept of pressure points spread through the Tamil martial art called Varma kalai, which is a martial art that concentrates on the body's pressure points.^[3]^[4] The concept of pressure points is also present in the old school Japanese martial arts; in a 1942 article in the Shin Budo magazine, Takuma Hisa asserted the existence of a tradition attributing the first development of pressure-point attacks to Shinra Saburō Minamoto no Yoshimitsu (1045–1127).^[5]

Hancock and Higashi (1905) published a book which pointed out a number of vital points in Japanese martial arts.^[6]

Accounts of pressure-point fighting appeared in Chinese Wuxia fiction novels and became known by the name of Dim Mak, or "Death Touch", in western popular culture in the 1960s.

While it is undisputed that there are sensitive points on the human body where even comparatively weak pressure may induce significant pain or serious injury, the association of kyūsho with notions of death have been disproven.^[7]

Yoshimitsu then mastered a technique for killing with a single blow. Through such great efforts, he mastered the essence of aiki and discovered the secret techniques of Aiki Budo. Therefore, Yoshimitsu is the person who is credited with being the founder of the original school of Daito-ryu."
