Sishencong:

Located on the top of the head, there are four points that make up this group of points. They are also sometimes called "the inner square" in kyusho. ‘Si’ meaning a group of four points, front back left and right, ‘Shen’ meaning spirit or mind and cong meaning to cause one to be smart or intelligent. If you find "Bahui" or GV 20, and take points on the four points of the compass 1 cun distance from GV 20 then you have this square of points surrounding Bahui.

This strike will cause extreme dizziness with insomnia as a long term effect. It is also indicated to cause mental instability.

Yintang:

This point I have already mentioned. Meaning "decorating place", this is the point that people used to decorate for cosmetic reasons. Yin means to stain while tang means an area or place. It is located at the third eye point and in fact is the third eye point between the eyebrows on the GV meridian but is not a GV point.

In kyusho, this point is usually used with a cupped slap to the side of the neck causing knock out and is in fact the old ‘evangelist’s knock out’. Those that can knock people out and who are not setting up the whole thing at rallies etc., always place their other hand at the side of the neck first, then push backwards onto yintang! It shocks the brain causing knock out. It is usually struck using the ‘mounts’ of the fingers which are pushed out (protruded) as the palm makes contact with the point.

This point is so close to GB 1 at the corner of the eye that it is impossible to miss it when striking to GB 1.

Meaning ‘to pull normal’, this point is also called the ‘mind point’ in kyusho as it causes knock out from blocking the messages from getting from C.N.S. to the brain.

This point is an excellent point to use with LU 5. If LU 5 is struck straight in, then the palm is allowed to slide down the arm (with force) over Bizhong and the next points called "Erbai". These points can cause a knock out.

Meaning ‘center of the forearm’, this point is located between the transverse crease of the wrist and that of the elbow between the radius and ulna.

Erbai:

These two points are located 4 cun above the transverse crease of the wrist on either side of the tendon of the muscle flexor carpi radialis. Both points are at the same level. Meaning ‘two’ (er) and ‘white’ (bai) which means that these points have to be understood to be used. They have special indications and the practitioner must know about these in order to treat using them. These points are used with ‘bizhong’ to cause a knock out also with LU 5. However, they can also be used all by themselves as very potent arm damaging points when struck straight in using a knife edge strike. Great local pain and qi drainage is indicated.

Yaotongxue: (Lumbago Point) (New Point)

Yaotong means lumbar pain while xue means point. There are three of these points on the back of the hand. About one and a half cun distal to Zhongquan and the same distance between each other. These points also create much pain when struck with a back-fist and local qi drainage. These are also good set up points.

In healing, these points are punctured 0.8 cun deep towards the center of the palm. The patient is also advised to do some lumbar rotations while the needles are still in situation.

Zhongquan:

Meaning ‘dorsum’ and ‘spring’ or depression. Hence this point is located right in the middle of the back of the wrist flexure midway along a line drawn between CO 5 and TH 4.

Dannangxue: (New Point)

Called so, because ‘dannang’ means gall bladder and xue means ‘point’. It is situated near GB 34 about 1 to 2 cun below that point on the GB meridian. The point is moveable as so many of the acupuncture points are. So with most of the points we make sure by using a larger weapon such as a palm strike etc.  A hard strike here will cause qi drainage and even knock out when struck really hard with perhaps a heel striking straight in. The point is quite sore to the touch.

In healing, this point is used for acute an chronic cholecystitis (inflammation of the gall bladder). It is very useful at the onset of this ailment.
