True , but there are limits in certain situations. Im not saying you shouldn't be vilonet becasue in the right situation i would kill with my bare hands and wouldn't think twice. Its all about the situation and in that one i would be that viloent.

There are points covering vertually the entire body. Plenty of them lay exposed even when muscle is tensed and can be hit while the body is moving. Several, that in acupunture terms are stomach related, cross the line of the jaw. Just where a man would trim a nice gotee to are a points, one on each side of the jaw. At the back of the hing of the jaw, the base of the nose, just under the chin. Serveral folks have mentioned the armpit cluster. A good one lies right in the notch of the tricept and is best hit when it's flexed, it's partnered point is just a hair above the elbow and is right across bone. Think of your classic standing armbar position and there you go.
Several lie around the wrist and hand and work best for restraints when you need that brief bit of distraction as your applying a movement. Most of those work from a simple grasping of the wrist and pull/twist to get fingers riding over them.
My two favorights are GM points though. One is in the thihg, about where a person's finger tips reach to when their arms are at their sides. A good round house kick on a line perpendicular to the leg will make this a killer. Just hurts more than the average thigh kick. The other is at the base of the skull along each corner and is struck toward the front of the head and across. Like you were trying to drive the strike out of the oposite eye. Knife hands, hammer fists and forarm attacks work really well and produce a good stunning affect.
The best thing about most of the easier points is that if you miss the activation center, which can be quite small, you still have good ol' blunt trauma on your side. And blunt trauma is like cubic inches in muscle cars, there is nothing wrong with just a little more, unless you can get a lot more.
