The marma (varmam) is the life giving spots of human body. According to the siddha system, in human body there are 108 marma (varmam or vulnerable spots) and 51 anti vulnerable spots. If any injury occurs in the marma points, then we will have loss of consciousness, fatigue and convulsions. Some secret manyscripts exploring the methods of rejuvenating the body using marma points.
Those who lose consciousness like these we can bring them back to the original state by knocking the anti-vulnerable spots (Adangal). If we don't do this they may die or may become handicapped. Since this is a very dangerous type of application the guru used to teach this only to those disciples who are noble and trust worthy.

Divine persons like Agastya, Bhogar and Therayar have described in the books of Marmashastra that the science of vulnerable spot should be taught only to those disciples who carry out the instructions of guru patiently for 12 years and after taking the apt gift from him.
