I would have given this book a 5 star rating but some of the techniques shown and fighting strategies shown in the book are questionable at best. But, the pressure point and other anatomical information was enough for me to give it a 4 star rating.

There are very good illustrations of the regions, meridians and points. I liked the generally street oriented applications too, which surprised me because I thought I would find mostly sports-tkd material. Very good work Rating: 4 / 5 Vital Point Strikes: The Art and Science of Striking Vital Targets for Self-defense and Combat Sports Good photography

Very nice representation of the points location. You can find here lot of usefull and practical information. But it rather describe application to some spots of body, when points. Subtle difference in strikes and possible prolonged effects from strikes to points not covered here. For this is better reffer to "Dim-Mak" books.
