Over the years, I have seen many claims to ultimate knowledge of the Dim Mak or other such theories of perfect self defense. Although anything could potentially exist, ideas such as the Dim Mak often have become a Holy Grail of martial arts, sought after by those who seek a quick and easy solution.
I offer this. Although it could potentially exist, I speculate the knowledge and training required for it to be very high, as it requires an understanding of Chi, anatomy, Martial training, and their relationship. The downside of this Holy Grail, is that many who claim to possess it are likely to take your money content in the idea that they have taught you some incorrect information, which could get you killed. Many of them may even believe that they know this truth and are even more dangerous to you, since they will have you convinced of their own technique.
So how do you sort out the true technique from the false prophets? The problem as I see it is that you can't. Therefore, it is better altogether to avoid such quick easy paths.

Dim Mak translates into 'vibrating fist'. It is a virtual 'punch' to the solar plexus area that will not have an immediate effect. The effect could happen days later. From what I know about it, only a few were able to master the form, and those who did became sterile (why? I have no idea.)
Imagine a block of tofu at the bottom of a tub of water. Water is not compressable (and neither is blood). A Dim Mak master could more or less 'slap' the surface of the water and cause the block of tofu to explode. Or 'slap' you in the chest and cause your heart to explode.
Try it, it ain't easy. (on the tofu, that is!)

1st off, Dim Mak is very real, just not like like what they typically show on screen. I can't list the pressure points here as there are hundreds of them. The best way to learn is from an instructor. There are also many books on the subject.

Hi there
Basically its a load of crap. Yes there are pressure points but there's more going on than just pressing them. Everyone is build differently so they will react in a different way when hit. Also your build has a lot to do with how effective and strong your attacks are. Kyshu or meridian points are charted but the truth is that the whole body is a kyushu. Its all down to the application and not the point.

The national geographic did a study on all martial arts and they showed the dim mak on a crash test dummy what it is, is a hammer fist to the chest and the results showed that it could stop the human heart.

It's a mythical technique that has no recorded basis in reality. There is not one recorded death from any dim mak. It doesn't exist outside of movies...

what i have experienced is people who can grab your arm and put you in a lock by holding onto two acupuncture points - or stretching the arm and holding one acupuncture point.
I guess you could get an acupuncture chart and experiment.
