a
reference to parts of the
body which are sensitive or vulnerable and are noted as
targets in the martial
art of
judo.
Judo is a sport of Japanese
origin that makes
use of a weaponless system of
self- defense. There are several vulnerable
points in the
human body, such as inside of the wrists,
points on the neck, and others. In
judo, one of the methods employed to overcome an opponent is to apply
pressure to these sensitive parts, generally by
blows with the
hand. The
word judo means "the gentle way" in Japanese.
