Tips from the Masters
Kühn: Also Hichibatsu, lateral hips. Groin, area above the front hollow of the hip.
Momot: diaphragm, below the ribs on the chest line. The light blow into this diaphragm region provokes muscle and diaphragm contraction, and breathing difficulties. Strong blow can provoke lungs contractions and possibly cardiac arrest.
