pressure points

[SBN Doug]

I haven't heard that one. You don't really cause blood clots with pressure points. You're hitting nerves.

 

Blood becomes clotted from too much "junk" in your blood. However, a clot can travel though your system for some time before lodging itself where it does harm.

There's a major nerve straight down the sternum thatm when ruptured, slowly leaks toxins that should be filtered out by the liver, killing you within 3 days to a week, unless you're in top physical condition. It's commonly known as the delayed death touch, but all the hype surrounding it is just that, hype. In traditional Daoist accupuncture, there are methods with which you can trick the brain into commanding platelets to form scabs where there is no cut. This is somehow used to treat viral infections, but it could have deadly martial possibilties. Imagine a scab forming in the aorta or something. Dead within minutes.

Watch Jet Li's Kiss of the Dragon. He fights with acupuncture needles.

Ya, that's a good example of what Dim Mak's like. Very exaggerated, of course, but gives you the general idea. The best part about pressure points is that by learning how to use them to hurt, you are also learning how to use them to heal.
