Aggressive parts of the beast
"Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp" reveals the cruel survival law of the weak and the strong in nature, so the beasts at the top of the food chain have very strong aggressive parts, and under the blessing of these aggressive parts, the beasts have the ability to hunt other animals.
In the vast steppe and lush jungle, lions, tigers, cheetahs and other beasts of prey are undoubtedly top predators. They generally have slender bodies and extremely explosive muscles, and can quickly pursue prey when they find them. At the same time, they also have very sharp aggressive parts, such as long pointed canine teeth and sharp claws, which are combined with huge bite force and muscle explosion to exert very terrible strength.
Since these beasts have such frightening and aggressive parts, what do we humans have? We are inferior to cats in terms of running speed, and we are inferior to canines in terms of sharp fangs and claws. Looking at our teeth and nails, which are powerless in the face of the beast, we humans seem to have become "weak and can't help the wind." In fact, humans also have offensive parts that are comparable to beasts of prey, and they will be frightened when they use them.
Aggressive parts of the human body
The fact that humans have been able to exist on Earth for hundreds of thousands of years shows that we already have many advantages that animals do not have. As early as the ancient human period, the appearance of human beings and the appearance of modern humans are almost the same, so for such a long time, human beings also have extremely lethal and aggressive parts.
Although humans look weaker than large beasts, there are also some very powerful beings in humans. Since humans have almost no chance to fight with wild beasts in today's society, and they do not often use aggressive parts, we will mistakenly think that we have no offensive parts. In fact, the aggressive parts of the human body comparable to that of beasts of prey are in the upper limbs and lower limbs.
The elbow located in the upper extremities refers to the joint position of the middle part of the upper arm and forearm of our arm. Structurally, the protrusion of the anterior segment of the elbow is the ulnar beak, and the inner appearance is the anterior elbow fossa. The ulna-boned eagle beak is one of the hardest bones in human beings. The hardness of human teeth is about 6 to 7, and the hardness of the ulnar beak is about the same as the hardness of the teeth.
The muscles of the human upper limbs are far less muscular than those of the lower limbs without intensive training. However, the elbow position is close to the waist and abdomen, and when the elbow is used, the human body can exert a huge attack effect with the help of the strength of the waist and abdomen muscles. The more common posture is that when a human is standing, the elbow is parallel to the ground at a 30-degree angle of flexion, and then the upper body is rotated, and the upper limb muscle strength is used to attack the opponent behind him.
If the opponent is low in height or in a back-to-back attack, we can attack vertically downward with our elbows, and if we jump, we can explode with the help of gravity potential energy. Due to the dangerous elbow movements, the use of elbow strikes is generally forbidden in fighting matches. Some people who learn martial arts can even use their elbows to break stones.
Unlike most beasts of prey, which use fangs to kill their prey, humans can kill their opponents with only their upper limbs. The key secret is that the human upper limbs can be bent inwards significantly, and the bending creates angles that are enough to suffocate an adult. This action of strangling the throat of the opponent with the elbow socket so that it cannot breathe is the famous throat lock.
Lock throat in martial arts
Once a human successfully uses its upper limbs to lock the throat of an opponent, the opponent will lose attack power for a short period of time due to poor breathing. If you do not break free of the control of the locked throat in time, you will break the neck bone and suffocate to death. Humans generally stand behind their opponents when locking their throats, so it is extremely difficult to break free, so locking the throat is also a deadly killing move.
The more aggressive parts of the lower limbs are the heel bone and the knee. The elbow damage is very large, but the short board is also obvious, because the length of the arm is limited, so it can only attack the opponent at close range. But the heel bone is one of the bones furthest from the trunk, so the heel bone also protects the body in a wider range than other body parts.
Generally speaking, the leg length of adult men is more than 44% of their height, and the proportion of leg length of individual men can even reach 53% if it is more beautiful. Although the proportion of leg length varies slightly from age to age, an adult male with a height of 175 years has a leg length of at least 77 cm. In other words, when humans and the target of the attack are in close combat, the heel bone can protect the area within a radius of 77 cm of the body.
Leg muscles
According to the principle of leverage, the larger the force arm, the greater the force that can be pried up. In the same way, our thighs are force arms, so the strength generated by the heel bone when attacking should not be underestimated. In addition, the bone hardness of the heel bone is also larger and harder than the bone in most parts of the human body. Heel attacks while wearing shoes protect the human body from harm. Even a barefoot attack will not be too fragile because of the thick cuticle on the soles of the feet.
Since heel attacks are a major weapon for humans, heel attacks are used in many fight matches. For example, in taekwondo, there is a heel splitting wooden board, and Muay Thai boxing also has a heel attack on the opponent's head, shoulders and abdomen. It can be seen that the heel is also a major offensive part of human beings.
The attack power of the knee is slightly inferior to that of the heel, but it is extremely destructive when attacking face-to-face with the opponent or prey. Knee punches are also an important attack in Muay Thai. The force of the knee strike depends mainly on four points. The first point is the ability of the quadriceps, psoas muscles and gluteal muscles of the thighs to explode. Second, the angle at which the knee hits the opponent and the hardness of the knee itself. The third point is the magnitude by which the calf bends inward. Fourth, extra strength when attacking, such as bounce bursts and gravitational potential energy.
Knee punches in Muay Thai
There are two other reasons why a knee strike can cause a lot of damage to the opponent. On the one hand, when using knee strikes, it is a frontal conflict with the opponent, knee strikes can attack the lower plate, if there is a height advantage, it is better to attack the soft abdomen, if it is a life and death battle without considering the bottom line, you can attack the most vulnerable reproductive organs, and the opponent or prey will lose its combat effectiveness in an instant. On the other hand, the knee position is low, and the range of action when attacking is also very small, so it is easy to give the opponent a surprise blow.

Even I was shocked
Although the beast has a sensitive posture and sharp claws, at the moment of life and death, humans will also erupt into huge combat power that even they did not expect. In 2019, a man in the United States killed a mountain lion with his bare hands.
The Westridge Trail is located in Colorado Park near Fort Fort, Fort Fort Fort, Fort, Fort On the afternoon of February 4, 2019, a man was running on the West Ridge Trail as usual, but he suddenly heard the roar of animals behind him.
The man who killed the cougar
The roar was terrifying, and before the man could react, he heard a voice rushing toward him. Faced with the bloodthirsty brutal killing of the mountain lion, the man's instinct to escape instantly exploded. The man did not flee in fear, but decisively returned fire on the lion that attacked him.
The ferocious lion constantly tore at the man's face and arms, and the sharp claws scratched out obvious scars on the man's legs and back. But the man fought back with all his strength, and finally used a throat-locking move to stop the lion from breathing. After his deeds were reported by domestic and foreign media, he said that he instinctively counterattacked in such a dangerous situation, and he was shocked to see that he finally escaped from danger in the mouth of the lion and successfully killed the lion.

In fact, humans can have the attack power comparable to that of beasts, not only because of the part of the body, but more importantly, because humans have advantages that other animals do not have. For example, humans can grasp and throw objects, and this ability to largely determine that humans can use tools to cause harm to prey. To put it bluntly, while you (the animal) have a sharp knife (minions), I (the human) have a pistol (the ability to use a long-range attack weapon).
In addition, the upright walking ability of humans also crushes most animals to a certain extent. Attacking each other at different heights produces different gravitational potential energy, so the strength generated by human attacks taller than the beast will also add the advantage of gravity potential energy. And the average height of humans is far more than 1.5 meters, but the height of the beast will not exceed 1.2 meters. If an animal wants to attack a human throat, it can only expose the soft abdomen, which gives humans an opportunity.
So combined with the advantages of human beings, humans are not without aggressive parts. Rather, these offensive parts are rarely used in the process of social development, and over time we lose sight of their strength. When you learn that humans can kill a mountain lion with their bare hands, are you also shocked by the potential you have?
