Vital Spot No: 25
Solar Plexus (myong chi)
This is the soft point found in the centre of the chest, just below the xiphoid process.
Even a light blow to this area will shock the diaphragm, which will result in the recipient being unable to draw breath.
A powerful blow can injure the stomach and liver, may cause internal bleeding and can result in unconsciousness.
This point has very little protection, such as a covering of bone or muscle, which results in it being extremely vulnerable to attack.
Xiphoid process:
This point is located on the centre line of the body at the lower end of the breastbone.
The xiphoid process is a small piece of cartilage at the lower end of the sternum.
A powerful rising blow to this point will bruise the heart, liver, and stomach. The result of this bruising will be unconsciousness, possibly even death.
