If using vertical strikes it is easy to inadvertanly strike someone in there Grape.
Lastly I have never heard or been taught that striking the groin is deadly force. In Arizona the groin is classified as a 'secondary striking area'. Primary stiking areas are large muscle groups such as the thigh, calf, or bicep. Secondary stiking areas are joints such as the knee, elbow, or the groin.

Roger that Joe. Same goes up here as well. Are you teaching the Monandock(sp) force continuum? Also are you guys studying the effects (or lack of) of certain strikes against EDP's or suspects on both adrenal/chemically assisted highs? I'm just curious if the training is evolving.
