Who's it taught to though?

I'm guessing it's not something the average solider is going to come up against very often.

I'd have thought it would pretty much be kept to special forces etc.

I can see the back of neck is going to be tough, especially the pithing attack between the capitals and the skull, as I'd have thought grapples to the head/face from behind will tend to pull the head back thus reducing the angle further (the opposite for attacks to the front of the neck). Luckily for my players a level of detail that GURPS doesn't go into!
