Lung-6 Point Location
Lung-6 (also called Line Six) is located on the radial nerve of the inner forearm. To locate it, make a fist halfway and identify the point on the inside of the forearm between the bone and muscle, rather than on the bone itself.
Anatomical Path and Effect
The radial nerve extends from the upper arm down to the wrist. Striking Lung-6 disrupts nerve function to the hand, potentially causing loss of grip strength and control for anyone holding a weapon or striking.
Strike Direction and Method
The point can be struck from front to back or back to front along the forearm. The strike should be executed with sufficient force to transmit energy into the nerve point rather than attempting surface contact.
Recovery Protocol
To reverse the effects of a Lung-6 strike, apply half the striking force as a slap followed by circular massage of the area. This restores nerve function and alleviates pain.
Activation Zone Size
Despite common misconceptions about pressure points being pinpoint targets, the Lung-6 activation zone is approximately 50 millimeters in diameter, roughly the size of an eye socket, making it practical to locate and strike.
Effectiveness Through Clothing
The technique remains effective regardless of clothing thickness. The mechanism involves injecting energy into the nerve point rather than requiring direct skin contact, allowing the strike to penetrate heavy winter coats and jackets.
Application Against Armed Opponents
When an opponent is armed or executing punching attacks, striking the inner forearm at Lung-6 can be executed upward or downward to activate the point and neutralize their weapon hand.
