Outer thigh nerve line

Bilateral lateral-thigh target; right representative

The lateral outer-thigh nerve line is included as a practical lower-limb target found in jujutsu-derived atemi teaching and its modern secondary classifications. The anatomical-right side is used as the representative projection, with a broad uncertainty radius because school manuals vary in whether they name the nerve, muscle, or lateral-thigh line. The entry records lineage variation rather than a standardized pressure-point claim.
