Now, you're probably wondering how and why we can do all those things.

Let me explain.

There are many books, videos and courses on pressure points, Dim Mak, vital point striking, etc, and many of these are excellent sources of information. The only thing that most of these products don't teach is the actual way you train to get these points to work properly.

With our specialized curriculum you will learn the devastating methods of how to train to pull off this type of specialized fighting.

Of course, if your the type that would use these for the wrong purpose, don't even bother ordering the course as we only want responsible adults using this highly coveted material.

Since we came out with the Dim Mak portion of our course (the Pressure Points charts have been selling for 20 years), the response has been tremendous.....

We have recently decided to offer up our 'Advanced Dim Mak Power Striking' notes to those that really want to take their skills to the next level....

This new information is so secretive, it took us years to get up the nerve to offer it even to our best students....Over the years, we have had students visit us in person to learn these 'Closed Door' methods....And let me tell you, we have charged some extremely large dollars to teach what we are show casing in our Advanced Curriculum....

Why would we do this?

First off, we know that only the most diligent and persistent student will attain the level of mastery, so we are not afraid to put the information out there.....

Secondly, all of our best students, stay in touch with us by phone or in person, to get all of the little tips, tricks and techniques not contained in any of our programs....

Believe me, this alone is worth the cost of the course times 10.

And if you learn to add Chi Manipulation to your Dim Mak Striking......LOOK OUT!

That is an entirely different animal that no one wants to even mess with....

Don't Take My Word for It, Listen to What Some of our Black Belt Customers Had To Say!

Dim Mak

I've been a doing martial arts for not so long like about 4 years almost
5 but the things that I learned from those CD(s) and the books really adds up
to my knowledge and how I can use pressure points to a self defense situation

The touch of death (or death-point striking) refers to any martial arts technique reputed to kill using seemingly less than lethal force targeted at specific areas of the body.

Dim Mak Band

The concept known as dim mak (simplified Chinese: 点脉; traditional Chinese: 點脈; pinyin: diǎnmài; Jyutping: dim² mak⁶; lit. 'press artery'), alternatively diǎnxué (simplified Chinese: 点穴; traditional Chinese: 點穴) traces its history to traditional Chinese medicineacupuncture. Tales of its use are often found in the Wuxia genre of Chinese martial arts fiction. Dim mak is depicted as a secret body of knowledge with techniques that attack pressure points and meridians, said to incapacitate or sometimes cause immediate or even delayed death to an opponent. Little scientific or historical evidence exists for a martial arts 'touch of death', although it has been confirmed that trauma may cause disproportionately catastrophic consequences when applied to known pressure points under specific circumstances.^[1]Commotio cordis, for example, is an often lethal disruption of heart rhythm that occurs as a result of a blow to the area directly over the heart (the precordial region), at a critical time during the cycle of a heart beat causing cardiac arrest.

The concept known as vibrating palm originates with the Chinese martial arts Neijing ('internal') energy techniques that deal with the qienergy and the type of force (jin) used. It is depicted as 'a technique that is part psychic and part vibratory, this energy is then focused into a wave'.^[2]

Claims of practicability[edit]

Numerous martial artists claim to practice the technique in reality, beginning in the 1960s, when the term was advertised alongside the English translation 'The Death Touch' by American eccentric Count Dante.^{[citation needed]}

In 1985, an article in Black Belt magazine speculated that the death of Bruce Lee in 1973 might have been caused by 'a delayed reaction to a Dim-Mak strike he received several weeks prior to his collapse'. Other authors have also said Lee's death may have been due to a 'quivering palm technique'^[3] (alongside an article about Choy Li Fut instructor Wong Doc-Fai) to the effect that 'dim mak does actually exist and is still taught to a few select kung fu practitioners.'^[4] A 1986 book on qi identifies dim mak as 'one of the secret specialities' of wing chun.^[5] However, this matter is not identified in the ving tsun kin kut and traditional practitioners of ving tsun (wing chun) take no stance in the matter.^{[citation needed]}

During the late 1980s, Erle Montaigue (1949–2011^[6]) published a number of books and instruction videos on dim mak with Paladin Press. Montaigue claims to be 'the first Westerner to be granted the degree of 'Master' in taijiquan', awarded by Master Wang Xin-Wu in 1985. According to Montaigue's own account, dim mak is an aspect of traditional old Yang style taji quan which he claims he began learning in 1978 from a master called Chiang Yiu-chun who died in the month of May. Montaigue stated this man was an illegal immigrant, making his existence difficult to verify. Erle subsequently learned the remaining 'qi-disruptive' forms of wudang shan from Liang Shih-kan in 1995.^[7] Paladin Press has other titles on the topic of dim mak, including Kelly (2001) and Walker and Bauer (2002), both with a foreword by Montaigue.^{[citation needed]}

Around 1990, Taika Seiyu Oyata founded the style of Ryū-te which involves 'pressure point fighting' (Kyūshojutsu). In the 1990s, karate instructor George Dillman developed a style that involves kyūshojutsu, a term that he identifies with dim mak. Dillman eventually went as far as claiming to have developed qi-based attacks that work without physical contact ('no-touch knockout' techniques), a claim that did not stand up to third-party investigation and was consequently denounced as fraudulent.^[8]

In East Asian popular culture[edit]

A 'Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique' appears in both the Shaw Brothers films Clan of the White Lotus (1980) and Executioners of Shaolin (1977). It is used by the protagonist in the climax of Kill Bill: Volume 2.^[9][10] The 'delayed action' of dim mak is depicted in Executioners of Shaolin (1977), where a '100-step Soul Catching' move allows the victim to take a certain number of steps before dying. A dim mak attack is used to paralyze a character in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000).

The mangaFist of the North Star centers around the fictional martial art school called Hokuto Shinken, whose practitioners are trained to kill or incapacitate opponents by striking the specific pressure points on an opponent's body. The protagonist of the story, Kenshiro, is the successor of this style and will often end a battle stating how much time the opponent has left to live after delivering a finishing move, or follow up with his famous catchphrase, 'You are already dead', before his opponent dies, usually from violently exploding.

In the Naruto series, and its sequel Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, Dim Mak is a basis for the fictional Gentle Fist fighting style used by the Hyuga Clan.

In contemporary western pop culture[edit]

Dim mak has become a kind of camp pop culture item which is recognized also outside the genre of martial arts films. In Thomas Pynchon's novel Vineland, one of the protagonists uses the 'Quivering Palm Death Touch', which kills the opponent one year after it is used. In the TV series Quincy, M.E., a 1977 episode entitled 'Touch of Death' features a martial-arts movie star whose mysterious death is found to be a result of a dim mak attack against him ten days earlier.^{[citation needed]} The lead character of the British TV series Gangsters (1978) is murdered by hired assassin 'The White Devil' using a similar attack, with death occurring four days after he is touched.^[11]Dan Brown's novel Inferno depicts a character incapacitating a guard by putting pressure on his wrist, explaining the technique as 'Dim Mak'. In the comedy film The Men Who Stare at Goats, George Clooney's character claims to have been hit with the Touch of Death, a 'light tap' that causes death at an unknown point in the future, in one case 'about eighteen years later'.

In the Star Trek universe, the Vulcan nerve pinch is frequently used as a non-lethal method of applying pressure to a pressure point in order to render the target unconscious.

In Doctor Who, the Third Doctor describes himself as a master of Venusian aikido on various occasions, accounting for his unique form of hand-to-hand combat, which allows him to immobilize opponents in a manner similar to the Vulcan nerve pinch. Later incarnations of the Doctor have shown varying degrees of expertise in hand-to-hand combat, although only some spin-off material explicitly identifies the later Doctors' combat skills as originating from Venusian aikido.

In the Kung Fu Panda movie series, the Wuxi Finger Hold technique used by Po is a form of Dim Mak. Likewise, the villain Tai Lung and the mentor Oogway both use a nerve-strike attack to paralyze the opponent.

In the Avatar: The Last Airbender series, Ty Lee used a form of Dim Mak called Chi-Blocking to cripple or immobilize opponents. The fighting style is reintroduced in The Legend of Korra as the primary fighting style of the Equalists.

In The Simpsons episode 'When Flanders Failed', Bart Simpson claims to have learned the touch of death in his karate classes — having actually stolen the concept from an arcade game — and uses the threat of using it on Lisa to make her perform tasks.

In the Batman: The Animated Series episode 'Day of the Samurai', Kyodai Ken, Bruce Wayne's rival from his days training in Japan, forces Master Yoru to reveal his secret death touch. Wayne survives the technique by wearing a protective pad to absorb the force of the blow.

In the Robert Rankin stories Hugo Rune, and others, are credited as practitioners of 'Dimac', described as the deadliest martial art known to man, capable of disfiguring and dismembering the opponent with the slightest touch, or condemning the victim 'to forever walk sideways in the manner of a crab'. Rune himself claims to have been taught by Count Dante, and the character of Archroy later becomes a Dimac master himself, although he is initially prevented from taking revenge on Omalley as he was not provided with the book on defensive strategy.

Although not mentioned as dim mak, the ability to kill with a mere touch is attributed to Chiun, the mentor of Remo Williams, who is the protagonist in the long-running The Destroyer novel series. The style of martial art practiced by Chiun is called Sinanju, which incorporates the idea of acupuncture meridians.

In the 1985 film Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins, Chiun uses this knowledge to render a female Army major helpless, bringing her to over-heightened levels of sexual arousal and pleasure by simply tapping her wrist.

In the 2012 Square Enix video game, Sleeping Dogs, Dim Mak is a counter-attacking move that can be learned from the protagonist's Sifu (master).

Dim mak is referenced in Bloodsport (1988), a film allegedly 'based on true events in the life of Frank Dux', the founder of the first Neo-ninja school of 'American Style Ninjutsu'. In the film, Dux (Jean-Claude Van Damme) proves that he has been trained by Master Tanaka by demonstrating a move described as a dim mak or 'death touch' attack to the judges as a means to gain entry into a full contact Kumite by striking a stack of five bricks with his hand and breaking only the bottom brick. Dux also uses the dim mak technique on Pumola during the Kumite before delivering a Johnny Cage-esque coup de grace, ending the match.

The monk class in Dungeons & Dragons has a high-level 'Quivering Palm' ability that can mark an opponent for death and be activated later to kill them with lethal vibrations.

Five Finger Death Punch, also abbreviated as 5FDP or FFDP, is an American heavy metal band from Las Vegas, Nevada, formed in 2005. The band's name comes from the subgenre of Kung fu film, martial arts films and Hong Kong action cinema set in the contemporary period and featuring realistic martial arts.

And as mentioned briefly in the preceding section for its appearances in East Asian popular culture, Dim Mak does in fact play a prominent role in 'Kill Bill: Volume 2,' a 2004 American martial arts film written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. A martial arts teacher named Pai Mei kept his Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique secret from all of his students, except one. It is a death blow that once executed, kills any opponent after they have taken five steps. The move consists of a series of powerful jabs from the fingertips into five different pressure points on the victim's body. Once finished, the victim is then allowed to walk away. However, once they take five steps, their heart literally explodes inside their body, killing them instantly. The protagonist uses the technique at the climax of the film against the titular main antagonist. ^[12][13]

The Chinese name for the Touch of Death appears in the video game Fortnite: Save the World as a perk associated with Ninja-class heroes.
