  • Pressure Points
  • Pressure Points is the term used to refer to the points in the body that are sensitive to pain. The most well known pressure point in the Xenaverse is known as "The Pinch" - a lethal "pinch" that Xena commonly uses on her foes to stun and scare them into giving up vital information. The deadly pressure point cuts off the flow of blood to the victim's brain, causing immediate and painful death within 30 seconds to 1 minute. After 10 or so seconds after being put under the Pinch, the victim's nose will start to bleed. Along with the Chakram and her "firebreathing" trick (spewing alchol into a lit torch), the Pinch was widely known as one of Xena's signature moves, though after her redemption, she generally reserved the Pinch for interrogation instead of killing.

  • Pressure Points is the term used to refer to the points in the body that are sensitive to pain. The most well known pressure point in the Xenaverse is known as "The Pinch" - a lethal "pinch" that Xena commonly uses on her foes to stun and scare them into giving up vital information. The deadly pressure point cuts off the flow of blood to the victim's brain, causing immediate and painful death within 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Along with the Chakram and her "firebreathing" trick (spewing alchol into a lit torch), the Pinch was widely known as one of Xena's signature moves, though after her redemption, she generally reserved the Pinch for interrogation instead of killing. The number of people in the known world with knowledge of pressure points was thankfully staggeringly low. Xena was taught the art of pressure points by one of her former mentors, M'lila. The only character who showed the abilty to perform deadly pressure points, besides Xena, was Sinteres, a highly skilled killer. She killed a man with the use of pressure points. Xena has only ever taught the pinch to two other people - Gabrielle and Akemi.
