Liver

LIV3

LIV13

LIV14
LIV3 A very painful point when struck from above.  It is below the surface and requires some penetration on the strike.  Should render that foot useless.  Anyone who's ever caught an elbow doing a roundhouse kick has an idea of how this feels.
Name Taichong (supreme assault or great pouring)
Location Between the metatarsal of the big and second toes halfway towards the ankle crease
LIV13 This is a dangerous point primarily due to its physical location.  The liver is on the right side and the spleen on the left.  Either can be damaged by a strike here.
Name Zhangmen (system's door)
Location On the side of the abdomen below the end of the 11th floating rib
LIV14 A very dangerous point.  Can cause damage to both the lungs and the heart.
Name Qimen (expectation's door)
Location On the nipple line, between the sixth and seventh ribs
