Line 88:
* Used in [[Diagnosis: Murder]]. Jesse's father needed him to calm down, so he put a comfroting hand on his shoulder. When that didn't work, he increased the pressure. Jesse protested and folded up. The unconsciousness lasted long enough for them to drive out of LA and for his father to have a long discussion, and there are no obvious side effects.
** Of course, Jesse should probably consider himself lucky his father didn't just choke him into unconsciousness like he did to Steve...
* A downplayed, but quite severe version is shown in [[Rocky]]. One of the title character's favorite techniques is to deliver a machine-gun like series of punches to the abdomen, until the target collapses from internal bleeding and cut off of respiration. In this case there is nothing subtle or mystical or cool about it and anyone who is large enough to stand up in a boxing match can do it. The target is a fairly large one. The abdomen is however a pressure point in the sense that it is a better target then the chest which is covered in bone.
