I beleive that dim mack is not about looking at a person then he dies, no such thing.

Its more about attaining that fierce, vicious look couple with ferocious & deadly attack that scares or kill an enemy.

Its about the eyes, that powerful & hypnotic stare that would cause an enemy to run. Then combining it with powerful attacks to vital parts. Thats` dim mack!

hi bullet proof monk I was wondering if you could explain to me what dim mak is. You are probably thinking man this girl is stupid for not knowing what dim mak is but any ways I would really want know something different. I hope you reply to me about my question well reall you do not have to if you do not want to but I would like to hear from you soon bye.

That theory about the hypnotic effect is quite interesting. It's not the first time I've heard of it, but it is the first time I've heard it with relation to eyes. You'll have to forgive me as I dredge through my somewhat hazy memory, but I believe David Carradine's style (I have no idea what it is) had something to do hypnosis. Although he probably Hollwoodified it somewhat, the fight scene between him and Chuck Norris at the end of "Lone Wolf McQuaide" had some very intricate hand techniques, that looking back, could very well have been a representation of a hypnotic aspect of Kung Fu. Obliviously, anything of that nature would have had poetic licence applied, but none the less, if someone with more knowledge - preferably a sifu - of the subject could take a look and give their oppinion, it may clear this up some what.

I read that the art of ninjutsu encompasses hypnosis (real ninjutsu though, as that has been so commercialized nowadays as well). As for a "death stare," I never heard of ancient masters killing enemies with a stare, I do believe in like "mind power" though and I believe if trained right one can stare at someone in such a way that the fear induced onto the person (or animal) is enough to make them back down.

Please keep in mind ancient people lacked the scientific understanding to explain any such phonomenon.

Dim what?

Any real pressure point fighting (dim mak or whatever you want to call it) works based on the chinese acupuncture/acupressure system. The points, meridians, and affected organs are the same. The chinese have done a great job of explaining this starting hundreds (if not thousnads)of years ago. In fact, the rest of the world (mainly western eurpoe) didn't find out how much understanding the chinese really had when it came to the human body until the late 1800's when basic western embalming and autopsy procedures were first being created. The first medical texts at London's top medical schools were chinese acupuncture charts. Unfortunately now a days there are so many people out there that use the name "dim mak" to make money without having or passing on any of the real reasons why it works. It is because of this that there are so many sceptics out there. Who can really blame them.

BTW: BulletProofMonkey where in hell do you get these ideas, because they are sure as hell funny, although i liked the one about punching the tree better. Yah Yah people i know i shouldnt be encouraging the trolls but he's pretty funny.

Some feudal martial artists did punch trees however, and don't forget the Thai fighters who practice their kicks on them as well

You've been reading too many prodigies of Chris Hunter/Ashida Kim What a few ninjutsu schools do have is a basis in psychology where you attempt to psych out your opponent by maintaining eye contact during the fight and projecting intent, much like some professional fighters did and do today (i.e. Jack Dempsey, who on more than one occasions had his opponents say they felt like "he was going to kill them" in the ring). Nothing so esoteric or mysterious, sorry to say

Dim mak knowledge is not that hard to find but harder to apply. Hypnotic stare is also called "Energy Transfer"

[LoneWolf1]

I thought Dim Mak techniques were made from Indian martial arts, I believe they brought it over to chinese monks. I think the art is called Kalari Payattu. (considered the worlds oldest traditional martial art, and still trained in today)

No, that's just dim.
