I notice in a lot of these self-defense classes I have noticed they usually tell the girls especially that if they are in a scuffle with someone who wants to do them harm then to target body parts with a lot of nerves - I was doing a lot of thinking and I am actually thinking the thyroid is the most sensitive part to get hit rather than anything else -
I have read many articles that a blow to the throat can be quiet lethal - I have even heard some stories growing up where people have died when joking with their friends and hitting them in the throat - When I look at these charts - the throat is always highlighted as sensitive but people don't seem to make the connection that the thyroid is located there - it seems to be where the thyroid is located in many different animals
What I am thinking is if someone is in a scuffle with a large animal - like a bear, wolf, panther, or etc. or even from an attacker who is much larger than them - is the thyroid actually the best place to target to ensure you get away from a life-threatening situation ? It seems like the easiest organ to target that is the most sensitive - it seems incredibly dangerous if you were hit in this area directly
