How do you do the Dim Mak? (Death touch)?

Question

I swear to God that I would never use it to anybody. Not even on worst case scenarios. I'm just feeding my brain with more knowledge about martial arts. I already know a lot about kung fu, mok gar, kickboxing, and tai chi, but I haven't learned about Dim Mak yet...

Answer 1

Dim Mak is not a real martial art it was created by an author and used in many books and movies. Such as Blood Sport.
It is totally ficticious.
See the following link.

ADITIONAL: Dim Mak from Chinese translates into English as Artery push not Death touch. The theory is the person would strike an Artery and cause the person to pass out or die. If it was posable to kill some one with simple touches to pressure points on the body isn't it than realistic to assume many football and hockey players would be dead form all the hits they take. At least one or 2 must hit a presure point.
The closest true comparison would be Acupuncture, which we already know is not a Death touch...

There's a reason why people who claim to know it will never show you. Because it is not real. It is not theorised as just a killing technique they talk about just incapassitating or taking away your opponants chi... Then being able to giveit back so why can't the so called masters show you those techniques. Also the theories state only one man per generation is tought Dim Mak and only in China and only by a true Dim Mak master. So again if it is at all real how could an American know how to do it...

Answer 2

Dim Mak Death Touch

Answer 3

Dim Mak is not a technique it is an independant chinese martial arts system based in the striking of specific points on the human body along 'meridians' to cause detrimental effects in the target.

to start learning about dim mak i suggest learning a few pressure points. there are many hundreds of points on the human body and to effectively practice true dim mak you must know which points do what, exactly where they are on the body, how deep the point is beneath the skin, how hard to strike the point, which direction to strike it and even what time of day each point is susceptable to attack.

a few key things to remember in dim mak are that 1 point can cause pain at that point, 2 points simultaneously creates pain between the points, 3 points causes instant unconsciousness, 4 causes severe internal organ damage and 5 points at the exact same instant or with in tenths of a second results in instant death of the target.


all of the knowledge involving true dim mak takes many many years to master however some basic principles may be applied to other martial arts such as kung fu, and especially something like Tai Chi (true martial Tai Chi in a practiceable form that is).

i can not tell you what site to look into for more information, i've researched it for several years now and not learned much more than what points do what (and only a few at that) and i understand why some of them work. if you want more indepth information or have any specific questions feel free to email me on it.


good luck!

***************** !!!! Dim Mak is real. It works well. BUT....... What is shown as being Dim Mak is often BS. There are so many guys out there doing crap they claim is Dim Mak. Kyusho-Jitsu and Tuite-Jitsu are the Okinawan terms for the same type of applications. As Darth Scandalous mentioned his Instructor went to check out Oyata and found that he could not find fault with what he was doing. In 1983, I was training in Charleston, S.C. under Ron Cherry (Soke). Cherry is a very advanced martial artist holding legitimate high black belt ranks and titles in several styles of Karate, Kempo, Jujitsu, and Kobudo. He also holds a masters rank and title in Hapkido and more than one style of Taekwondo (the real Taekwondo, not the sport). Cherry Soke attended many of the early seminars that Oyata gave in the U.S.A. He told me in 1983 that Oyata was the real deal. That alone was good enough for me. I have an old video of Oyata from the late 1970's or early 1980's. The quality is not good since it is a copy of a copy of a copy. BUT, it still shows some awesome techniques. Often I have viewed the video at normal speed, slow motion, and frame by frame. The guys that Oyata is zapping are unconscious before they hit the floor. They hit the floor on their face, or what ever. There is no conscious or unconscious attempt by them to break fall, roll or cushion the fall in any way. Although I have not trained directly with Oyata, I may get to go to a seminar by him in Richmond, VA next month. But since 1983 I have trained a little with several of Oyata's students. They know their stuff. Any martial artists that know me know I'm not a bull S****** and am not easily impressed. If I could train full time with anyone I wanted to Oyata would be on the top of the list. ***** Shouter doubters can believe what they want. All I'll say is when you eliminate the fakes out there and the guys that know a little, you will find Seiyu Oyata to be something impressive. And as Darth Scandalous said, Oyata can do his techniques on anyone at any time. He does not need his students to fall down for him. I challenge anyone to go to an Oyata seminar and then tell me that his technique is not something spectacular. If you doubt it works, ask him to knock you out...... ....

It is possible to kill someone with one blow yes . . but you would have to be very precise. (you could just strike the throat & crush the wind pipe)
However, as for using "dim mak" pressure point striking is taught in Tai Chi chuan and Kung Fu - your teacher may just not have pointed out where or why yet.
As for killing someone with points, the theory behind the practical goes in some circles, you have to set them up with "set up" points (inside of the arms are the easier ones to get to) and then go for the center meridians. The heart meridian is a good one they say (hard to practice on real people to see if it works. Though I've seen my teacher, and experienced it myself, affect these points) Intention also has a lot to do with it.
If you are after the science there are many books on it. Try an Author: Erle Montigue - he has at least two volumes titled Dim Mak.
there are others, many others. He writes it with another acupuncturist and explains it using the five meridian science and how it relates to acupuncture.

Answer 7

It would take a book to explain it. There are several on the subject. I suggest that you read a few.

The VERY short answer is that Dim Mak works by attacking parts of the peripheral nervous system overstimulating either the sympathetic or parasympathetic nervous system.

Answer 8

I once asked a kung fu master how he knew Dim Mak worked. He didn't answer me , but I assume practicing or testing it is out of the question unless you can use goats or something like that.

Answer 9

Watch Bloodsport. Study it carefully.

If he is Tanaka he can show us the Dim Mak.

Answer 10
