I remember first starting in the martial arts after watching kung fu flicks and Bruce Lee films. I wanted to learn the magic that they knew. Well I guess I am still looking for the magic as I still am looking for the masters and their knowledge.
Although most of what I discovered had a firm founding within sciences and could be explained and implemented by anyone it is pressure points that still hold the most mystery.
Perhaps my belief in magic has gone but my search and practice continues.
Here is some Dim Mak basics.
The basis of selecting pressure points in combat is based on Chinese martial arts principles and the ancient Chinese medical theories used in Acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine and Chinese healing arts. Therefore, it can be said that dim mak is more sophisticated and more effective than popular pressure point fighting techniques. Dim mak techniques are not commonly found in ordinary martial arts training.
In the past, pressure point masters were also professional doctors who used acupuncture and Chinese herbs to heal the sick and injured. These martial arts masters were often required to heal themselves and their students from injuries from hard training and real combat. These masters also created special exercises and natural remedies based on their extensive knowledge to preserve their health and longevity.
Not only were these doctors fully versed in Chinese medicine, they were martial arts experts who used their Chinese medical skills in the martial arts to adversely affect the human body with pressure points. These masters were few in numbers and were highly sought after. Today in our modern society, this has not changed.
