Given and ForbiddenA Henan Shaolin saying, ""There are eight parts that may and eight parts that may not be attacked." The eight parts of the body it is allowed to attack are those that overcome the foe without causing fatal injury; the eight prohibited parts are vital organs. All routines, therefore, subdue an opponent, but only a few mortally wound him." |
108 Vital StrikesVariations in locating the points also exist. Using the distance of one's finger width, each spot may be located. Some say from the head to the toe about every one inch contains a large spot and every 10th of an inch a small spot. Chinese kungfu usually at the deepest level, speaks of these 36 large spots and 72 small spots ---108. | ||||||||||||
