    Bridging hands used to attack nerve points on the opponent's limbs

    What are some techniques/strategies you use in wing chun to attack Nerve centers such as ulnar nerve/artery, median nerves, brachial artery, axillary artery on the opponent's bridge, when he attacks (Breaking Bridge)?

    The only nerve centers I bother with really are the brachial plexus and perineal nerve. Yeah you can target stuff in the arms but it's going to be pretty low percentage. Even against a grab there are more efficient way of breaking it.

    By the time you set up the break or try to do any nerve attack you will be hit by his free arm right in the kisser!

    Calm down Geezer ... just a fluke, an meathead requires tons of tenderizing before it can be pliable.

    Yes...Sir..trying to use two hands against one is not what i want to do. I want to hit you so u cant hit me. If i attack an elusive nerve points it will be on your face when where i punch you at...or your neck...Not wrestling you though more like continous strikes if i gain entry.

    He’s not right, just like in “Chin Na” the practitioner that applied the technique is taught to always keep himself in the best position from being hit when applying and learning arm breaks or pressing nerve points.

    He just made that up.

    That is true...But personally i see Chin Na techniques as secondary...Basically i use them as a reaction to my opponent trying to trap my hands or hinder me from hitting them...When you start hitting your opponent too much he will try to slow you down by holding or grabbing your arm...Thats when Chin Na is utilize...When your grabbed in a way where you can't punch...But while i reversing your hold im more than likely kicking you at the same time...An the use of Chin Na for me is to free my hands so i can continue punching you an controlling the bridge..

    You might wanna check out some of Dan Inosanto's videos. He shows how pay attention please to 0.46 seconds. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnVhEQ9hJJk

    and here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5HmdYkLdAE

    Not Wing chun per se and for that I apologize but he does use the techniques in his JKD so I imagine its probably relevant to Wing Chun
