Which of the following is considered a method of Pain Compliance?

Pain compliance refers to techniques used in combatives and self-defense that induce pain to persuade an opponent to comply with instructions or cease aggressive behavior. Pressure points are specific areas on the body where nerves are close to the surface, and applying pressure to these points can result in significant discomfort or pain. This can effectively compel an individual to follow commands or disengage, making it a common method of pain compliance.

While joint locks also involve pain, they typically serve a dual purpose: controlling the opponent while also causing pain. Striking techniques may incapacitate or cause pain but do not systematically rely on the compliance induced specifically through pain over physical control. Therefore, pressure points are more directly associated with the concept of pain compliance due to their emphasis on inducing pain to affect behavior.
