3 hrs confidence:

マルマ, 急所

Explanation:
To be more precise, "marma" is similar to, but not exactly the same as, ツボ in Japanese. Some pages including the ones below state that it is "similar to ツボ":

http://park11.wakwak.com/〜monchi/wellness/ayurveda/ayurdala.html
http://www5d.biglobe.ne.jp/〜La-Mar/detail.htm
http://www.earth-pure.com/ush/alternative/ayur001.html

This term comes from Ayurveda (アーユルヴェーダ), the Indian traditional medicine (伝承医学).

In many pages, it is translated as "急所", and I think that this would be more accurate. You can refer to these pages:
