Dr. Michael Kelly and the Dim Mak.

I was watching a History Channel show about ancient weapons and came across this fellow Dr. Michael Kelly.

The show can be watched here:

. The part related to Dr. Kelly starts at minute 37.20. I did a little googling and found a website for him: Dr Michael Kelly

I am curious if anyone on here met him? I searched previous threads and didn't see his name mentioned.

He was attempting to use western medicine technology to to scientifically see what was happening during various kinds of lethal attacks. In the video he had a BJJ practitioner do a rear naked choke on a guy who was hooked up to a heart monitor etc.

If the Doctors background is true (and I have no reason to say it's not) he has a impressive background in longtime martial arts as well as western medical practice.

According to Patrick McCarthy sensei (Karate's top historian and translator of the Bubishi) Dr. Kelly's book, Death Touch, The Science Behind the Legend of Dim-Mak, is the most comprehensive work on the subject. I have not read it, but if McCarthy sensei praises it, you can bet it is worthwhile reading for those interested in the subject.
