To Wound

To wound an opponent is more difficult. The best chance is
to strike the softer areas of the lower torso, such as the
abdomen and the kidneys. The upper portions of the torso
are protected by bone. The thighs are a good wounding
target. A throwing knife in the muscle of the upper leg makes
running difficult or impossible. Such a wound will give
pause to any enemy. It may only slow him down, or it may
drop him or even strike the femoral artery and cause death
from blood loss in minutes.
