Dim Mak is a lot more than just "death touch", but unfortunately my grasp of the chinese language is even more basic than my grasp of the japanese language, and I gotta tell ya, my japanese sucks!
I have had some training in this martial science and can tell you that the stuff that was taught to me works and is very affective for pain compliance.
If you are only using it for pain compliance, then you are missing out on a heap of good stuff, effective, simple and humane self defense. If you are relying on pain to make your techs work, then you are pretty well doomed to fail, that's the beauty of pressure points in a fight situation. The guys mind is telling him there's nothing wrong, but his body won't do as he wants, and then he falls down.
Dont get me wrong I'm not saying that there is no such thing as the death touch but I have a tuff time beleiving somthing works if you cant prove it, and I am not ready to die just yet so I will not be the ginnie pig. LOL
:rofl:
If you want a real giggle about this, get a hold of an Earl Montague video. Now I'm not saying he doesn't know his stuff, cause it is possible he has a great deal of knowledge, but his methods can be quite funny. You will see him point to certain points and tell viewers never ever to hit this point because it is dangerous and will cause certain death/ stroke/ heart attack etc. Then he calls his student in, (sometimes it is his own son), and proceeds to belt the living crap out of those very same points, that he just warned us about.
Do a search on your computor there is a active master of Dim Mak in Australia. I think its golden lion dojo?
:asian:
Yes Golden Lion advertise Dim Mak teachings and also produce some seemingly in depth books on the subject. The biggest problem you may find with the books is that Dr. Pier Tsui-Po, the author, charges by the kilogram. Around $1000 US per Kg.
For you guys in the US try hooking up with a Dillman school, or for some real quality stuff, find a Ryu-Te school. Ryu-Te is Oyata Senseii's system.
If you are downunder, and happen to be in Victoria, come and see Master Frank Monea, at the Challenge Centre, at 6 Burlington Street, Oakleigh. There are a few others in Aust. that do this stuff, but even they admit that Mr. Monea is way ahead.
I'll admit, I am biased a little bit, but I gotta say that what Mr. Monea teaches is extremely exciting, and you know it works, because you get to feel it and then do it.
