How do we attack H-2?
There are many ways to attack H-2.
- With the open hand (to train, this will hardly hurt)
- With the elbow
- With a straight punch
- With the knuckles of the fist
- With the knuckle of the thumb
Background information:
Heart 2 (H-2)
Location:
You can find H-2 if you flex your arm, it is 3 cun from the elbow on the ulnar nerve at the crease medial end.
How do I find it?
Place your hand palm under the elbow of Uke. Where you thumb rest on the upper arm is Heart 2 (H-2) located.
H-2 is connected to the ulnar nerve and therefore connected to C5-C8 and Th-1 in the spinal cord.
Direction:
You hit this point in against the ulna bone.
Impact:
The elbow will bend.
When you hit the point; pain will shoot to the pinky finger (where the Heart meridian ends).
When you grab the point it will be very painful, especially when you rub your thumb
The Heart meridian:
The Heart Meridian contains 9 fire points.
The route of the Heart meridian is via the inside of the arm, down from the axilla to the pink, this makes it a Yin meridian:
- It originates internally from the heart.
- One branch goes down through the diaphragm and connects with the small intestine.
- The other branch enters the lung and comes at the surface at the axilla.
- From the axilla, it runs down the Ulna bone, down to the pink (H-9)
