Depending on muscle density and conditioning...Against a seasoned fighter who has condition certain parts of his body to take a hit I find what you saying highly unlikely...For one if your punching with your fist his points on his arm you may land a lucky shot if he has low muscle density...but if he is conditioned his muslces will tighten around the points...Furthermore in reality striking pressure points in that way with your fist is better for less guarded targets...There are pressure points in the face...Correct? The face you cant really condition...
Pressure points with in grappling are secondary or defensive...basically when you get to grabbing. I press your accupressure points with my fingers or knuckles...I dont actually strike them...An its either to twist or press a nerve which makes you temporarly feel pain. Unless you can break someones arm doubt very seriously striking a part of the arm will result in severe loss of that limb while they have andrenaline pumping...The best place to do some damage would be the funny bone...
MMA and Muay Thai...Actually the muscles are bruised...an the bone is hurt...Basically they can stand because of the intense pain they feel in the bone...Same with a side kick or round house to ribs...break the ribs or bruise the ribs...This is not pressure point striking....
But in either case you will need conditioning and strength to do damage...To train your fingers to strike in such away if you are talking about thrusting bil gee...takes years and dedication...Unless your young when your training it alot of good it will do you...But again...its all good. at best what your doing is accurpressure striking!!! where you grab the limb an press hard or squeeze hard with your fingers the points...Not actual pressure point striking...

Arms and Legs can be disabled by hitting certain points. IMO it is more of a "cumulative damage" sort of thing than a guarantee of one shot = dead limb. You see this easily with leg kicks in MMA - you take out the muscle, they can't stand on the leg, their whole fighting ability goes down, this is a form of point striking.
In regards to WC, what points you find valuable and your methods for getting there, that's all lineage specific and not truly worth discussing.
