Radial nerve

[Nervus radialis]

Anatomy:

• The radial nerve [Nervus radialis] is a nerve of the arm nerves mesh [Plexus brachialis]. In the middle of the upper arm the radial nerve runs between the heads of the triceps, directly overlying on the humerus, together with the "deep arm artery" to the outside and then over the elbow. There it divides into a cutaneous branch and muscular branch.

Attack:

• Hand edge strike (Tegatana ate), Knuckle strike (Kobushi Ate), Hammer fist strike (Kentsui ate)

Consequence:

• Massive nerve pain (neuralgia), Deterioration of movement of hand

Comment:

• Clothing and strong muscles reduces the efficiency
