Aikido utilizes a lot of pressure points in combinations with holds and strikes. A lot are done to the neck and arms, although we do some to the back of the knee.

Dim Mak is not a martial art and was actually a term used to describe the study of meridans and energy flows based on certain accupuncture areas in Chinese Medicine. It was used improperly to describe a death blow in movies which led to the misconception out there. However, if the flow of certain energies in the human body are disrupted for periods of time it can result in death through various means including clotting, stroke and more. Most martial arts include some type of pressure point fighting but most people do not realize that it is actually termed vital area striking and not just pressure point fighting. The problem is that it takes many many years to get even adequate at using them when an opponent is fighting back. You would have to do live training while attempting to use the techniques, including set ups, in order to get even decent at using them in a real situation. The most extensive system of martial arts I have ever seen that used heavy emphasis on authentic pressure / vital areas was at Higoanna Sensei's dojo in Okinawa. It was taught in two manners which were Atemi Waza and Tuite. The system of Goju Ryu but I do know tha Shorin Ryu and Wado Ryu focus on them heavily as well.

Whoever put Tae Kwon Do as a good pressure point striking system is a ******* retard. You should be shot, then sidekicked off of a cliff. Dim Mak is a good pressure point art. George Dilman does some type of Karate and incorporates a lot of pressure point striking.

TaeKwonDo is perfect for the pressure point attacks. But I havent been in a fight to use them.

DILLMAN does soft touch doesn't work crap.
ATEMI WAZA is a seperate and distinct skill that can be learnt and applied to any art including tae kwon do but you are going to have to do more than "tickle" someones neck to make it work.

That doesn't say much for the usefulness of pressure point moves, does it?
