~Stomach Points 1-18~ST 1: Chengqi (Contain Tears)
Rank: C
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: Causes nausea and chakra loss witha light blow. Heavier blows can cause loss of consciousness.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: ST 1: Chengqi (Contain Tears) is one of the more sensitive points and will be easily damaged by even a light blow to the area. Even a light blow is often enough to cause extreme nausea and a drainage of Qi from the upper body. A hard strike here will cause a knock out. This is a point that will badly affect the Yang Ming through its connection to CO 20: Yingxiang (Welcome Fragrance) will in general drain the Yang Qi from the body. The liver is also affected by a strike to ST 1: Chengqi (Contain Tears) as the liver controls the eyes and whatever happens to the eye area also has an effect upon the liver.
Medical Purposes: Useful to any eye issue, although ST 2: Sibai (Four Whites) is a good alternative and arguably safer to needle.
Limit: Must know Meridian Location “Stomach Meridian” .

ST 5: Dayying (Big Welcome, or Big Meeting)
Rank: C
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: Causes loss of consciousness.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Any strike to this area of the jaw will cause a knock out, especially if the point is associated with the Gall Bladder Meridian. Obvious jaw damage is also apparent. But it is the shock to the brain that jaw strikes cause that is the main area of damage. This is why the jaw is always a common target in the movies etc. ST 5: Dayying (Big Welcome, or Big Meeting) a great KO point. It sends a shock wave of Qi into the brain either causing dizziness in the least or KO in the most or broken jaw etc. The direction must be straight in from the side to have the greatest affect. This point also has a connection to ST 9: Renying (Man's Welcome) via ST 1: Chengqi (Contain Tears) and ST 8: Touwei (Head Support) (Head Safeguard). Meaning "Great Meeting" for that reason. So we can get a knock out from both sides, from the action upon the heart via the carotid sinus at ST 5: Dayying (Big Welcome, or Big Meeting), and from the brain receiving too much yang Qi. This point is called a 'big point' as it has abundant Qi and blood, hence the great amount of Qi going into the brain when struck. It must also be mentioned that the stomach has Vagus nerve endings entering at the base of the stomach. A strike to ST 5: Dayying (Big Welcome, or Big Meeting) will also have an effect upon the Vagus nerve making this point one of the better KO points.
Medical Purposes: Just a simple Local Point.

ST 6: Jiache (Jaw Vehicle)
Rank: C
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: Causes loss of consciousness, severe concussion and memory loss.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: All strikes to the tip of the jaw are dangerous. Firstly a strike to ST 6: Jiache (Jaw Vehicle) will cause an instant knock out, it is the classic knock out with people like John Wayne to Sean Connery making this strike famous. The reason it works so well is that this point is very close to the mind point which will stop signals getting to the brain from the central nervous system. A strike here will also cause concussion by way of a shock to the brain causing KO, nausea and loss of memory. A concussion is a violent jar or shock to the brain that causes an immediate change in the brain function, and can possibly include loss of consciousness. For a mild concussion, the signs and symptoms include temporary loss of consciousness; memory loss; and emotional instability. For a severe concussion, the signs and symptoms include prolonged unconsciousness; dilated pupils; change in breathing; disturbed vision and equilibrium; and memory loss. The extent of injury can only be determined by a physician. If the concussion is mild, the injured person may be sent home after examination, but only if a responsible person is present to stay with the injured person and watch for serious symptoms. Follow the doctor's instructions carefully if you are the responsible person, as there are several symptoms to watch for and report to the doctor if one or more after effects appear. The first 24 hours after the injury are critical, but serious after effects can appear later. The total extent of the injury may not be apparent for 48-72 hours. Complete recovery is likely with early diagnosis and treatment.

Limit: Must know Meridian Location “Stomach Meridian” .
ST 9: Renying (Man's Welcome)
Rank: C
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: ST 9: Renying (Man's Welcome) is one of the major Dian Xue Shu points. It is easy to get to, its effect is devastating ranging from knock out for a light blow to death for a heavy blow.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: ST 9: Renying (Man's Welcome) is situated right over the carotid sinus. The carotid sinus is a baroreceptor, whose job it is to detect an increase in blood pressure. When it detects this increase, it sends s signal via the vagus nerve of which it is a part, to the vasomotor centre of the brain, which initiates a vasodilatation, and slowing of the heart rate to lower the blood pressure to normal.
~Vasodilation: A widening or distension of blood vessels, particularly, arterioles, usually caused by nerve impulses ( as in the case of a strike to Renying (Man's Welcome)) or certain drugs that relax smooth muscle in the walls of the blood vessel.
~Vasomotor Centre: A collection of cell bodies in the medulla oblongata of the brain that regulates or modulates blood pressure and cardiac function primarily via the autonomic nervous system. The carotid sinus is a pocket in the wall of the carotid artery at its division in the neck.
~Carotid Sinus Reflex: The martial artist is concerned with a phenomenon called the carotid sinus reflex, the decrease of the heart rate as a reflex reaction from pressure on or within the carotid artery at the level of its bifurcation. This reflex starts in the sinus of the internal carotid artery.
~Carotid Sinus Syndrome: This is a temporary loss of consciousness or a knock out that sometimes accompanies convulsive seizures because of the power of the carotid sinus reflex when pressure builds up in one or both carotid sinuses. (Or from a strike). This syndrome can be caused to activate artificially by striking to the area of the carotid sinus, ST 9: Renying (Man's Welcome). Extensive research on the carotid sinushas shown why a person would black out when even sometimes only stroked in this area. Other people have knocked themselves out when they have turned their head suddenly because of a hypersensitive carotid sinus. In striking to ST 9: Renying (Man's Welcome), we fool the brain into believing that deadly high blood pressure is present, and in many cases, high blood pressure is present when struck in this area because of the carotid artery being pinched.
Medical Purposes: In ancient times the Stomach Meridian Qi was assessed by palpating the pulse here and at ST 42: Chongyang (Pouring Yang). Window of the Sky Point - restores Qi flow between the body and the head - useful with headache, chest tightness. Regulation of Blood Pressure - lowering high blood pressure. Tong Ren/Tam Healing System: Used to effect the common carotid artery. With acupuncture and tuina we often use CO 18: Futu (Support the Prominence) instead as it is safer, for Tong Ren and light tuina, however, it is fine to use. Falls into the category of Window of the Sky points within the Tam Healing system.
Limit: Must know Meridian Location “Stomach Meridian” .
ST 10: Shuitu (Water Prominence)
Rank: C
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: Causes quick and effective loss of consciousness.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: This point had always stood in the shadow of ST 9: Renying (Man's Welcome). It is however, just as dangerous as ST 9: Renying (Man's Welcome) and when struck spot on the point, is considered by many doctors to be even more dangerous. A strike here causes an immediate rush of yang Qi to the head causing loss of consciousness, the face goes red and the tongue turns blue. Combine this strike with Neigwan and you have a most dangerous strike. This strike adds Qi to the head. The recipient will fall down a split second after the strike. There is also an immediate shock to the head area.
Medical Purposes: A local Point. Tong Ren/Tam Healing System: Used to effect the circulation within the common carotid artery and the vagus nerve. Useful for issues such as high cholesterol, constipation, cancer of the larynx, etc. Falls into the category of Window of the Sky points within the Tam Healing system.

ST 11: Qishe (QI's Residence)
Rank: C
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: Briefly stops the heart with a single strike, causing severe chest pain and panic. When used in combination with other strikes, it can do so permanently.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: ST 11: Qishe (QI's Residence) is called the "heart starter" because it does just that is emergency situations. However, this point will change whatever state the patient is in before striking to this point. So if someone is awake as in an attacker, then this point will stop his heart beating. If his heart has stopped, a hard thumb pressure into the collar bone at this point will sometimes be enough to start the heart again. So a strike downward into ST 11: Qishe (QI's Residence) will stop the heart from beating, so it is not a point to be playing around with. Combine this strike with a clockwise strike to his left pectoral and a counter clockwise strike to his right pectoral at ST 15: Wuyi (Room screen) and ST 16: Yingghuan (Breast's Window) points, and you have a very dangerous heart stopper.
Medical Purposes: A Local point. Main point to open the circulation of the common carotid artery. Useful for conditions such as acid reflux, arteriosclerosis, hypertension, kidney cancer, bladder cancer, etc.

ST 12: Quepen (Empty Basin)
Rank: C

Effect: Causes immediate and entire loss of the ability to call upon chakra as well as breaks the clavicle bone causing severe pain.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: This is an interesting point as it is used to take the will to fight away. Anyone who has been struck here will agree about this, you just cannot carry on fighting after this point has been struck as usually, the clavicle which is quite a weak bone, will break causing great local pain and energy drainage. It also has an effect upon the communication between yin and yang in the whole body and drains yang Qi as it is associated with GV 14: Dazhui (Big Vertebra), (meeting place of Yang). It can be used with ST 11: Qishe (QI's Residence) to cause great Qi loss. It can be used in a grappling situation to stop the fight, or in an attacking situation where you have to block and re-attack etc.
Medical Purposes: Used for shoulder pain especially that radiates to the neck. Neck/throat issues - tightness/pain. Internal branch of the Stomach meridian connects here directly from the Stomach, Spleen & Diaphragm - tonify middle warmer. Used to effect the circulation within the subclavian artery.

Effect: Causes absolute loss of balance and great nausea.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Whereas ST 12: Quepen (Empty Basin) drains Qi, ST 13: Qihu (Qi's Household) adds Yang Qi to the head causing loss of balance to the falling down point. With most of the Stomach Meridian points, it will also cause great nausea. This is one of those points where the Qi is said to enter the meridian, so a strike here also unbalances the yin and yang energy in the whole body.

ST 17: Ruzhong (Middle of Breast)
Rank: C
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: Causes death if struck with keen precision.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: This point when struck has a devastating effect and will cause death when a medium to hard strike is used. In acupuncture, it is only ever given as a reference and not to be needled. For the strike to be effective it needs to be accurate within a millimeter however. Immediately there is a sensation moving up the left side of the neck (if the left nipple is struck and vice-versa) and over the top of the back of the head to the other side of the forehead, followed by an extreme Qi drainage resulting in knockout and loss of memory. If the strike has been hard enough, it could also result in mental illness which gets worse with age. This is not a nice point, and should never be played around with!
Medical Purposes: A point that shouldn't be used for medical purposes.
Limit: Must know Meridian Location “Stomach Meridian” .

If you combine this strike with LIV 14: Qimen (Expectation's Door), which is easy as LIV 14: Qimen (Expectation's Door) lies just lower than ST 18: Rugen (Breast Root), then the affect is far greater in Qi drainage.
Medical Purposes: Used for Breast disorders, mastitis, pain/swelling, insufficient lactation.
Limit: Must know Meridian Location “Stomach Meridian” .

Rank: C

This strike can cause loss of consciousness when done hard. It will also cause diarrhoea on the spot. This is a point that is capable of causing emotional disorders and also the physical symptoms that go with emotional disorders because it upsets the communication between Shen and Zhang fu, in this case between the Shen (Spirit) and Gallbladder and Triple Heater.
