There are three simple questions before applying pressure points or performing a technique on your partner.
1. Do you have any injuries of health conditions? Knowing the answer to this question will help to indetify which areas a person needs to avoid such as a shoulder pain or neck strain and sprain during practices. 2. Are you over 40 or under 16? Knowing the answer to this question can help you be more aware of what techniques and how intense you should perform them on a person. For example, someone over 40 years of age maybe has a chance of an undiscovered ailment, such as heart conditions. For those under 16, in traditional Chinese medicine states that these adolescents' energetic systems are still at the developing stage. With these cautions, it does not mean 16 years old should not train. It only means that they should be aware of consequences during practices. 3. Do you train pressure points? If so, when was the last time(s) and what area(s) of your body? Knowing the answer to this question helps you to be aware of those areas, which are already stimulated or may be overly sensitive. A reminder is to practice for a limited of amount of time (less than 15 minutes of activating targets) and allow 72 hours to recover.

At the beginning, Mr. Calos and I were thinking to create a synthetic finger which can be a replacement for the bumper with a hope to receive the most reliable and fair experiment. However, as I proceeded this, I found that the bumper is easier to perform. Besides the fact that creating a synthetic finger is difficult, the bumper has a small surface area, which allows to press a pressure point precisely.
