🦂The Scorpion Tail Method - Developed By Sensei Liam Musiak

The Scorpion Tail Method is a three-part anatomical striking system I created, designed for use when you’re attacking and need to shut someone down quickly using human biomechanics and neuromuscular disruption. It works by attacking three anatomical regions in sequence — Upper, Lower, Middle — each containing multiple high-value targets. When you’re attacking, you choose one target from each section and drive through them with absolute commitment and precision.

This is the order I personally prefer — Upper → Lower → Middle — because the final Middle strike to the torso is usually powerful enough to drop the opponent instantly. But the system can be rearranged or mixed depending on the situation.

A strike in the upper region could end it in one strike and same with others you may not even need to use the other steps at all.

UPPER SECTION — Neuromuscular Shutdown Targets

These targets disrupt nerve clusters, vascular structures, and major muscle groups responsible for arm strength, breathing, and balance.

• Lateral & Anterior Cervical Region (Side & Front of Neck)

Includes the sternocleidomastoid, carotid artery, internal jugular vein, carotid sinus, vagus nerve, trachea, larynx, and scalenes.

Strikes here cause dizziness, airway collapse, vagal-reflex blackout, or neurological shutdown.

• Biceps Brachii / Brachialis Complex

A direct strike collapses the musculocutaneous nerve, causing extreme pain, loss of elbow flexion, and temporary arm paralysis.

• Dead Arm Target — Deltoid / Radial Nerve Path

A heavy strike to the lateral deltoid region compresses the radial nerve where it wraps around the humerus (the “radial groove”).

This produces the classic dead arm effect:

• sudden burning pain

• complete loss of arm control for seconds to minutes

• inability to lift or extend the arm

• neural shock that can spread down to the hand

This is one of the fastest and most reliable ways to remove a weapon-bearing hand.

• Triceps Brachii

Impact disrupts the radial nerve again, causing extension failure and sharp neuromuscular pain.

• Axilla (Armpit – Brachial Plexus Region)

One of the most sensitive neurological hubs in the body.

Strikes here can shut down the entire arm.

• Deltoid / Glenohumeral Joint Line

Targeting the rotator cuff tendons, AC joint, and structural stabilisers often causes instant dysfunction.

LOWER SECTION — Mobility & Structural Collapse Targets

Designed to take their base away.

• Vastus Lateralis (Outer Thigh)

Shocks the femoral nerve branches, collapsing knee stability.

• Iliotibial Band (IT Band)

Strikes here buckle the lateral stabilisers of the knee.

• Lateral Knee — LCL / Meniscus Line

Impact damages the LCL, irritates the common peroneal nerve, and forces structural collapse.

• Quadriceps Group (Above Patella)

A direct strike shuts down knee extension instantly.

• Groin / Femoral Triangle

Contains the femoral nerve, artery, and vein, making it a highly effective shutdown target.

MIDDLE SECTION — Torso Shutdown Strike (The Finisher)

Meant to end the fight.

• Solar Plexus (Celiac Plexus)

Causes diaphragmatic spasm and breath loss.

• Liver (Right Upper Quadrant)

Overloads the vagus nerve, causing collapse.

• Floating Ribs (11 & 12)

Vulnerable to fracture and organ shock.

• Diaphragm / Costal Arch

A strike here can cause temporary respiratory paralysis.

• Epigastric Region (Upper Abdomen)

A clean hit here drops most people instantly.

How to Use the Method

✔ Choose one Upper target

✔ Choose one Lower target

✔ Choose one Middle target

Then break through each one decisively.

A proper Middle strike should send the attacker to the ground.
