The countless Legends of Dim Mak go back for centuries! Told as ancient folklore, as well as plots within movies. There is even a theory that this is who Bruce Lee died.
What is the Dim Mak Project?
Do you believe in the death touch, the legends of Dim Mak? That you can hit a person in a certain way or place and cause a “delayed death?”
If you believe it is possible, this MAY BE the MOST IMPORTANT MESSAGE you will read all YEAR! I have been asking these questions for years. There are many martial artists in the world who believe this is what killed Bruce Lee because he had upset the Chinese masters by teaching none Asians the secrets of the arts.
The Legends of Dim Mak - What do you think?
Is delayed death possible are the legends of Dim Mak true? I don’t have concrete answer for you, because how do you field test it? But I do have some well researched theories!
I have spent the last 15 years researching, studying and training myself in the pressure point art known as Kyusho Jitsu. This is almost half of my 32 year martial arts career. I have seen a lot of things come and go. I have also see a lot of unsubstantiated claims over the years. But I do believe this information does exist. Because of the things I have seen and I have done with pressure points, I knew it must!
Back before I got involved in the world of Kyusho Jitsu I was researching pressure points.
They were fascinating ! I came across a lot of information put out by a man named Earl Montague. But a lot of what I saw did not give me any answers, just more questions.
When I started to study Kyusho I was very happy, some of the answers were coming to me. But after I reached the rank of about 4th Dan in Kyusho, there were some things I began to see, related to the advanced principles that could be tied to the secrets of DIM MAK.
So without a word to anyone I began my own research in earnest the legends of Dim Mak, trying out theories and reverse engineering techniques to see what I could find.
I knew the secrets were there somewhere, most likely in plain sight.
Turns out I was right about the legends of Dim Mak!
After years of intense study of the human body, talk with medical people and my work in Kyusho I think I have found the root of the legends Dim Mak and how they work.
The difference between Kyusho Jitsu and Dim Mak on the surface is simple. Kyusho Jitsu attacks the "neurological" and Dim Mak attacks the "vascular." Now this is an over simplified statement. And it is well beyond the ability of a single blog post to cover everything!
In Conclusion
Dim Mak is a lifetime of study. However for the student of the science of pressure point self defense it can be easy to begin to learn! The foundation has already been laid!
