I posted some while back that at a recent seminar George Dillman discussed his new theory that men should strike pressure points on men on one side of the face and on women on the other side (or with the other hand), and similarly for women vs. men or women vs. women, due to issues of polarity. In the current issue of Black Belt (March 2002) this is discussed by Kim Dillman in an article by Chris Thomas, Mr. Dillman's frequent co-author. The article focuses on women and states that this advice is good for some 85% of women but that some of the remaining 15% should srike as a man would; although the article did not state the explanation for this, at the seminar the reason given was that homosexual women for example should strike like men.
The issue of striking from a cat stance vs. a full foot on the ground stance in order to account for polarity issues is also addressed, and I believe the issue of raising the toes or lowering the toes when performing certain strikes is also briefly discussed.
