    Default Is it possible to make one's pressure points invulnerable?

    Throughout the CONDOR HEROES TRILOGY, there were incidents of even the Greats having their pressure points sealed by inferior-level fighters (almost always through some kind of deception that left the Great off-guard). I forget specific incidents of Elite level DEMIGODS & SEMIDEVILS fighters (i.e. Janitor Monk, Hui Juk, Kiu Fung, Mo Yung Bok, Siu Yeun San, etc.) having their pressure points sealed, but I figure . . . if even the Greats can have their pressure points sealed, is there really no defense against this? On the one hand, it would be a good defense against these kinds of attacks. On the other hand, this could be potentially harmful to the practitioner because certain kinds of wounds and illnesses (i.e. internal injuries, blood loss, poisoning) are best treated via the sealing of acupoints. If one were invulnerable to acupoint sealing, then the healing aspects of the art would become unavailable as well.

    But bottom line: is it even possible? Is there a martial art that renders the acupoints unsealable?

    Gong Sun Zhi (ROCH) had a skill that was passed down in his family that made his pressure points 'unsealable'.

    In addition, OYF posses the skill to reverse all his pressure points, effectively rendering them "invulnerable".

    As I recall, in LOCH, in the first fight vs MCF, the Freaks were unable to seal her pressure points either.

    I do not remember about this in JY's novels, but in a local wuxia writer's novel here I once read about a gongfu technique to *move* pressure points so that when an opponent tried to seal them, he/she will press flesh instead of the points. I do not know whether this actually makes sense or just some theory by that local wuxia writer

    Yes you right rabadi. In Gu Long Novel "Legendary Sibling" Siau Hi Ji was able to do that!

    Yes. It was commented that it was a very difficult skill to practise. Not as good as Ou Yang Feng's but still a very good skill.

    you usually have a harder time trying to seal the points of someone who has much more energy/power than you. and the 7 freaks' energy was nothing near MCY's

    or maybe if someone's inner energy level can be so high (as in like having 200000000+ years worth of inner energy accumulation or something) they could be like ZWJ in HSDS when the Kong Dong guys tried to hit his pressure points with the 7 damages fist , but just that his inner energy was too much of a barrier.

    I was actually talking about the local wuxia writer Kho Ping Ho I can't remember the Little Fish Xiao Yuer (Siau Hi Ji) from Gu Long's novel was able to do that. Who taught him that skill?

    I wonder if someone can seal the Sweeper Monk's pressure points 'cause he has enormous internal energy. And what about that body protection skill from Shaolin (can't remember the skill's name ), does it enable the user to make his/her pressure points invulnerable?

    Why was that?
    As to the why, I'm not sure, but Zhu Cong several times tried to seal MCF's acupoints, but was unable to, and MCF told him that she had made them 'invulnerable', although the how was not given.

    Maybe the Iron Vast technique of Shaolin can make a person immune to sealing of acupressure .

    I believe it was actually 5 of the most powerful martial artists of the times, but yeah, Little Fish learned the majority of his kung fu from that manual. The manual was filled with all kinds of martial arts knowledge. Not only could Little Fish shift his acupoints, but I think he was even able to emulate Hua WuQue's "Yi Hua Jie Yu" just from seeing it because his knowledge of martial arts theory had become extremely high.

    Other GL characters have also been known to either completely resist acupressure attacks through their chi or just free themselves almost immediately.

    Is that the name of the body protection skill from Shaolin I asked above?

    the shaolin vest kungfu that rabadi is referring to is in HSDS, and it's called diamond vest. you are referring to the monk that XX killed in looking for his master, right? (i forget his name at the moment...kong something) at any rate, i don't think that this kungfu would be able to protect your pressure points from being sealed...at least, it wasn't made for that. i see the kungfu as allowing the practitioner to call upon his internal energy to create a kind of armor around him. i suppose that this would protect your pressure points if your opponent couldn't break through the diamond vest, but i doubt that your pressure points would remain fine if i was able to push them.

    btw, iron vest is from shaolin soccer.

    How would you be able to seal a person's accupressure if the Diamond Vest acts like an armor?
