In previous blogs, I wrote about hit point Triple Warmer 12 (TW-12) and Triple Warmer 17 (TW-17). Triple Warmer 12 (TW-12) can unbalance and position the opponent. With Triple Warmer 17, you can release yourself. This is great for follow up moves with pressure point Triple Warmer 11 (TW-11).
Triple Warmer 11 (TW-11) is a rub point that can help you force the opponent to the ground. TW-11 works best when you lift the wrist, rub TW-11 and step backwards at the same time. Please note: don't just rub the point on the surface, but through the arm, down to the ground!
How do we attack TW-11?
We attack TW-11 eighter with the knuckles of our fist or with the little knuckle on the wrist (Pinky side).
In this video, we show 3 examples of situations in which you can use TW11
Background information:
More information about Triple Warmer 11 (TW-11):
Location:
TW-11 is located just above the elbow.
Neurological:
TW-11 is connected to the median nerve. The median nerve is connected to the cervical vertebrae C5 - C8 and thoracic vertebra T1 in the spinal cord.
How do I find it?
Place your hand palm on Uke's elbow and make a fist; your knuckles point at TW-11 now.
Direction:
You rub TW-11 up and down, towards the elbow. You can also hit TW-11.
Impact:
The brain will think that there is a problem with the tendon and nerves connected to the elbow. As a result the brain will immediately relax the shoulder and elbow.
The triple Warmer meridian:
This meridian contains 23 fire points.
The route of the Triple Warmer meridian is quite a journey with a lot of interesting points:
The route of the Triple Warmer meridian is quite a journey with a lot of interesting points:
- The meridian starts with TW-1 at the top of the ring finger.
- It runs up from the wrist, between the Ulna and Radial where you find Triple V (TW-6, TW-7 and TW-8) up to the elbow.
- Then it proceeds its way via the outside/back (Yang side) of the upper arm where you find TW-11 and TW-12 to the shoulder.
- From the back of the supraclavicular fossa it takes an internal detour via the diaphragm to the abdomen. Then it goes back up the supraclavicular fossa in the front.
- It goes to the neck; from there it goes to the hollow under the ear TW-17.
- the meridian goes around the back of the ear to the front of the ear (to the level of the eye. There he makes a little internal detour up to the front of the head to connect with Gallbladder
- The last point TW-23 is on the outside of the eye.
There is a lot more information about meridians, like times, sounds, colors, etc. It is interesting and probably effective too. In my blog, for now I will stick to what I can use and what works in our Martial art.
I hope you found this blog interesting, next time we will show how you can use Conception Vessel 22 (CV-22) as a hit point.
