Which type of martial arts focuses on knockouts/downs via pressure points?

I want to get into the kind of martial arts where you can knock people down, or out, with very strange things such as blows to different parts of the body or something, if it is real. Any ideas?

Ninjutsu does a lot of that kind of stuff. They like to strike pressure points, and damage limbs and joints, just as much as the torso and head. They also like to do takedowns from what I've seen.

Chin-na and kyusho-jitsu are two of the best-known arts focusing on that approach.

Chin-na is a bit of a broader term and includes jointlocking and deliberately injuring connective tissue in addition to the use of pressure points.
