During the karate section we refered to body blows including

suigetsu - the solar plexus
kanzo - the liver
jinzo - the kidneys

these are koshijutsu targets as they hit nerves and organs, cause pain and nervous disruption and a visceral reaction in the opponent

the koppojutsu targets the bones, breaking the ribs and sternum

with karate the suigetsu is attacked

fudoken - clenched fist
shikan ken - extended knuckle "leopard paw" fist
nukite - spear hand

kanzo can be punched, and is also attacked with mawashigeri, the round kick
with Savate, kanzo is specifically attacked using the fouette whip kick using the cap of the boot

jinzo is attacked with the side kick, fist and elbow in karate and kempo, sometimes other kicks


Cypher posted a clip of Dexter striking all 3 of these targets:

Dexter refers to the vagus nerve while attacking the kanzo
