Greek Fighter Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Who has done this? What is the deal with this? I think it's fake, and then I see people on TV who swear by this. I can't imagine the thought of killing somebody with one touch. It seems pretty bogus if you ask me. What are your thoughts on Dim-Mak? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushido_man96 Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 I think that Dim-Mak used to be misunderstood as a "mystery," but we now know that striking certain parts of the body will produce certain results. I don't believe the mysticism of it, however. I think it is much simpler than made out to be, but I also think the effects are not as dramatic as they are made out to be, either. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cross Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 I think that Dim-Mak used to be misunderstood as a "mystery," but we now know that striking certain parts of the body will produce certain results.

My view is that there are obviously parts of the body that are better to strike than others, but its hard to strike them cleanly in the chaos of a real situation. So learn to hit hard and if you catch a "pressure point" all the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feathers of Doom Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 as far as a "Touch" i dont know. but i do know that certain strikes to certain area's of the body can kill. I saw a sight online once that talked about a pressure point that kills but i dont know if it exists or not. When practicing Nunchaku, it is best not to stand under lights....seriously; I have broken more lights that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, hey, I don't know. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ps1 Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 I agree with bushido_man96 on this. I think the mysticism developed before there was a strong understanding of human physiology. For example, a guy hit another guy really hard in the solar plexus and they guy dies a few days later from internal bleeding. Well, they probably didn't understand the spleen too well back then and attributed it with some sort of mystical aspect to explain the effect. Now we know that a certain level of trauma can cause certain organs to rupture or prolapse. Therefore, it's not mystifying anymore. But certain people out there just can't accept that science can explain alot of what we didn't always understand. I'm not saying it explains everything always, but it explains alot. So do I believe in dim mak? Sure! Do I believe in it the way George Dillman and alot of those others deliver it...no way! I think they're frauds just trying to make a buck off a bunch of people.

bushido_man96 Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Am i being dumb? What is this exactly? I gather its about certain moves that can kill people?Dim Mak translates to "Death Touch," or some equivalent. It is basically the idea that with intense training and focus, one can learn to channel his ki into a strike on a certain point of the body, that will cause death, in a nutshell.Look up George Dillman, and you should find a lot on the subject. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjer Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 as far as a "Touch" i dont know. but i do know that certain strikes to certain area's of the body can kill. I saw a sight online once that talked about a pressure point that kills but i dont know if it exists or not.One is forced to ask where the evidence is for these particular moves. All this talk about how deadly particular moves are, but theres no proof behind it besides the age old mysticism.Even if such moves did exist, they'd be completely useless. Everyone who claims to know these deadly pressure points always says the same thing "I cant use it- its too dangerous" in which case if you get into a bar fight, you're doomed to be pummelled- but you can always say from your hospital bed "I could have killed him, but I was the bigger man"The fact that George Dillman is one of the leading "authorities" on pressure points doesnt help much either. His teachings have been well debunked several times. I dont understand how he still has students. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeet Kune Do Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 as far as a "Touch" i dont know. but i do know that certain strikes to certain area's of the body can kill. I saw a sight online once that talked about a pressure point that kills but i dont know if it exists or not.I know two real pressure points, but I think I will keep it a secret as I think if this information foes to the wrong hands, then there could be bad things But it can kill and should only be used in life-death situation A drop of sweat spent in practice is a drop of blood saved in a battle.A person who say it cannot be done should not interrupt the man doing it.
