It's funny, a word like Sung, can be translated into pages of descriptions, and other words are somewhat vague. Very difficult language to understand. My Sifu gets frustrated with my poor Chinese.

Yuet, if youre speaking of Xue, then yes it would make sense that the blood/veins are vital for the body to maintain. Why else do these superman-like demos by slapping the carotid artery will render some people unconcious. However, stopping the blood circulation is just one part as there are respiratory and nerve pathways to shut down as well.

Sometimes a combo of a few will do it.
