I got a full on kidney shot to the back from this guy when I was in highschool and had my back turned. The dude probly weighed about 200lbs and I was just a skinny guy at the time. It hurt for like a week whenever I moved it really sucked. Getting hit in the liver hurts like a bitch also thats why you should always try to protect it with your elbow while holding your guard up.KingSnake said:I got kidney shot in a bar brawl. THe guy must have known better than most because most try to punch you in the back of the head from behind and break their own hand. Hurt like a bitch was down for 5-10.
twoblink said:Your body values the liver (even if some of you who drink like a fish, don't) and so when it gets hurt, it will do whatever it can to "cover it up". That means tightening up the muscles (diaphram, stomach, lats, buttocks etc) every muscle even remotely around that area, your body will tell it to lock up, making you crawl into a near fetal position, and cramp up. I'm not kidding. It hurts like a mother, and you can't recover from it in a few seconds only...
It's not like a head shot, where you shake it off... You don't shake off the liver shots. I can't find a decent accupressure pic, but your meridian runs along that line, right through your liver. So it's like gettin' your "chi" blocked..
kumite said:If you use the Chinese meridan theories, the Liver 13 point is the area you are hitting. The anatomy is the tenth intercostal nerve. Think about how bad it hurts when you hit the "funny bone" nerve in your elbow. You are causing trauma to a nerve plexus, which results in pain, loss of nerve and muscle control, (you can't stand up), and if the body is under more pain than it can withstand, it starts to shut down. Hope this helps.

Chad Hamilton said:Yes...and the liver is also where they say the vital Qi is housed.
Also is where the emotion of anger is stored.
If anyone has ever done a strict liver cleanse will attest at how pissed and aggrevated one can become while going thru it.
When the liver's not happy, the rest of your body isn't.
SO COVER UP!
