Angle of mandible

Jaw-corner target

The angle of the mandible is the posterior-inferior corner of the lower jaw where its body meets the ramus. Kyusho teaching treats this as a jaw and facial control landmark, while actual response depends on anatomy, conditioning, and context rather than a guaranteed pressure-point reaction.
