Thanks for that background on the term - good to know!

I'm more specifically interested in nerve strikes like the ones that deaden the arms like the inside of the forearms, the top of the forearms and inside of the biceps.

While I'm sure many instructors teach more than is in the forms, I'm coming from a minimalist perspective in thinking that the core of the art should be expressed in the forms (and their applications). Not all arts teach everything, and that's cool too, butI'd like to know if there are any such nerve strikes to the arms in Taming the Tiger, Tiger/Crane, Five Elements, etc.

Cheers
