Details

• Often referred to as the "death touch" in Martial Arts, this powerful understanding of the body can be used to both hurt and heal.
• While these days, much discussion around Dim Mak focused on Martial Arts, it actually is not solely based in Martial Arts.
• Dim Mak became known to the Chinese with the development of their Internal Medicine, dating back to 200 BC.
• In Martial Arts, Dim Mak is often taught in conjunction with Chin Na, the art of seizing and joint locking.
• The two utilize the ideas that there are pressure points throughout the body.
• Depress the right set of pressure points with the right amount of energy and you can inflict either pain or healing.
• The concept is exactly the same as that which is utilized in acupuncture.
• Regardless of what style of Martial Arts you study, a healthy understanding of Dim Mak will enhance your training.
• In order to perfect Dim Mak, the artist must be aware of vital pressure points and how chi flows within the body.
• Through practice, study, and training, a master of Dim Mak can immobilize their opponent with a single touch.
• Dim Mak is not about power or strength.
• Thus, it makes it ideal to utilize in training self-defense to a variety of people.
• In fact, many of the basic concepts in self-defense derive from Dim Mak.
• Even outside of Martial Arts, in areas like massage therapy, reflexology, and Reiki, these techniques are invaluable to helping the patient to heal.
• Dim Mak has been featured in many movies in Martial Arts.
• The most recent can be seen in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Kiss of the Dragon.
