shortdog Posted September 23, 2001 Share Posted September 23, 2001 i rented that video from the library, you can definatly til someone in a pressure point, and kill them. im not sure if you can exert the ammout of pressure that is associated with the dim mak. the video talked about people who could do amazing things with their chi. it showd people being beated with sticks, being hit in the nuts, breaking bricks on their heads. one guy even was stabben by a sword, and no one was hurt! the reasoning behind it was these people could harness their chi to a sertain place in their body to repel and attack. the dim mak is simply the reversal of that, focusing all you chi, not power, and moving it into another person's body on an organ. i dont believe it is possible. i dont believe in chi or qi or ka, i belive in what i can see and touch, nothing more.

thaiboxerken Posted September 24, 2001 Share Posted September 24, 2001 It's false, a sham, an urban legend made up to attract common people to train in a certain martial art. George Dillman does such pressure point techniques, he calls them a "tap", but these taps leave bruises and swelling. Why not just call it a strike, cuz that's what it is. Dillman and the like are con-artists, making money off of the ignorance of people. Dillman claims that he's done medical research and that his techniques have been proven, when a person investigates and calls the medical institutes that has done the experiments on it, they institutes reseach documents don't have anyting about it, nor do the doctors know who Dillman is. Think critically and don't believe everything a person says. I've heard many testimonies of such "Chi" powers, but for some reason, I can never get a person to do this in a double-blind type of setting. Ever notice how "Chi" masters have wooden board broken on them... Why are the breaks clean and not splintered? How come the breaks are done on the meaty muscle laden areas of the body, and not the face or bones? Why hasn't the Dim Mak been used in MMA events? Always look at things with a grain of salt, ask the questions, look for a reasonable and scientific explanation first. Just kick 'em, they'll understand.- Me Apprentice Instructor under Guro Inosanto in Jun Fan Gung Fu and Filipinno Martial arts.Certified Instructor of Frank Cucci's Linxx system of martial arts.

ChangWuJi Posted September 29, 2001 Share Posted September 29, 2001 Dim Mak exists, it has been proven recorded and watched. The only problem is that there are hardly any real exponents or masters of this art left that know the full technique/system. And, they won't teach it to anyone. A Dim Mak exponent can hit (feels like a touch) you, and you will die in few weeks. Or hit you another way (or in another spot) and you'll die on the spot. "There are no limits.

ChangWuJi Posted September 30, 2001 Share Posted September 30, 2001 Go to your local bookstore and read a book on it, it says exactly what I said. In the book "Kung Fu : History, Philosophy, and Technique" it talkes about this, and it says things that Westerners would consider impossible like walking on walls, walking on sand without leaving footprints, jumping 8 feet into the air can, have, and are being done. Unfortunetly some of the easiest techniques of the real Shaolin monks took at least 20 years to accomplish, and in the book it states that walking on wall Kung is approxiametly accomplished for 1 every 100 practisioners. "There are no limits. There are plateaus, but you must not stay there, you must go beyond them. If it kills you, it kills you. A man must constantly exceed his level."
