Does anyone know any Dim mak

[Paul Wilson]

I would like to know if anyone knows any Pressure Point Fighting?
I have just found out about the art and i am very intrested.

Please could you give me some examples?

I don't want any crap being posting just examples, points, and questions.

I am a pressure point tactics instructor.

there are over 300 pressure points in the body. A good many of them are in the foot and are pretty much useless for fighting. Some work well on many people but not on all.

Usually most people respond to about 70% of the points we use. I have only had one person that was unaffected by all points. But i believe the person was under the influence.

Best point is the brachial plexus origin on the neck. It can cause knockout and can stop the heart because the Vagus nerve runs behind it. That nerve controls the beat of the heart.

I also like the radial strike on the arm. It makes it easier to deal with large people who are stronger than you.


I have not met anyone who has had sufficient knowledge of Dim Mak to make an acurate analysis of it. However from the books I have found many of the points are near nerve centers and muscle connections. Some anicdotal evidence of some claims are from accidents I have witnessed. Someone bangs their shin hard and passes out, Or I got kicked in they eye at one of the points and my face was numb for about 6 months.

Pressure points fall under pain compliance not magical kills or touching someone and they pass out. Most of the stikes to pressure points are either pokes or regular full force strikes.

There are a few basic pressure points you need to know. The chin is a major pressure point. Put your fist there hard and fast and down he goes.

The throat is another. Punch the throat and down he goes.

The nuts. Kick him there really hard. KO.

Stick your finger in his eye. Continue until you reach the back of the eyeball, then proceed to pull it out.

Oh, here's a good one--take a knife in one hand. Now the entire body becomes a pressure point. Insert knife, watch blood flow. Fun, fun, fun. If you're really sadistic, poke holes in him, then stick your fingers in the holes and wiggle them around and stuff. That should cause agonizing pain. If you're lucky you might be able to pull out some entrails.

Or, here's an idea--how about you just practice stuff that works under duress. Target hunting under the stress of real combat is a bad idea. And poking guys usually pisses them off and makes them think you are a big sissy. Why waste your time with pressure points when the tip of your elbow, your knee, your fist and your legs work just fine? They are more reliable knockout tools than pressure points. The same goes with submissions. If you are simply using pressure points for control, you're not going to have too much luck. See the aformentioned comments about annoying and sissiness. A properly applied wrist lock or arm bar or choke will exert control more readily than poking people's nerves. And its sort of easier to find the elbow when someone is wearing baggy clothers than it is to find some obscure cluster of nerves.

Oh and if you're going to be annoying and fight like a girl then do it right. Biting works wonders. Screw pressure points. Bite the crap out of them. Not only is it super annoying, way more annoying than pressure points, you can tear out whole chunks of flesh. And nothing freaks people out more than knowing they are fighting a cannibal. Its just not worth it to people to be eaten alive. And it doesn't even matter where you bite. A chunk of arm is good. A bit of stomach. And, of course, if you can manage the vampire action, just knaw right into those carotids. Yummy.

Why do people insist on really complicated methods of combat that have never been actually used in real combat?

Check out the link there. I went for an intro. lesson a couple weeks ago. One of his specialties he teaches is the combination of pressure points strikes and kickboxing/muay thai, and let me tell you, it hurts man . He has a Ph.D in the study of acupuncture, so he knows his stuff. For a 75 year old, he can still pack a nasty punch/kick, hehe. His credentials are nice, I suggest everyone check out the website, enjoy.

Looks like a McDojo to me.

PhD in Acupuncture? How come an eastern art has a western qualification?

Yeah a nasty punch and a kick. Not a nasty pressure point. Muay Thai people do not use pressure points. They drop an elbow on your head. Goodnight. Ph.D.'s are not offered in accupuncture. Look it up. A Ph.D. is not a medical degree. Therefore anyone with a Ph.D. in medicine is does not have a license to practice medicine. In other words, they are full of crap.

It would be really difficult to make that work. That nerve is a potential point of cocern in judo/bjj because you often apply pressure to it during chokes. The very same thing is possible--i.e. death because of the vagus nerve. I have not been able to verify any deaths from this in grappling arts. However, it has been implicated as a cause of death in some sexually asphyixation (both auto-erotic and otherwise). I guess people don't want to tap out during sex.

Apparently Spanky does. He taps out way to early........

I have no seen anyone die from vagus nerve disruption. I have seen A cardial Stun twice. Once in competition and once in an episode of cops. Side kick the the chest, the person was gone. Paddled back to life minutes later.

My fathers cardiologist actually let his son join TKD for awhile. But after watching sparring pulled him out immediately because of the shots to the chest. He was very dismayed that kicking to the chest was allowed without protection.

I love brachial plexus orgin. Have several knockouts in sparring from this, and they were not hard hits. And have been warned about vagus problems because it has happened while training police officers. The rule know is if the police officer loses consciousness he must be taken to the hospital to be checked out. I forget the actual events but that is the rule.

Who says muay thai doesn't use pressure points?????


your full of it.

Common peroneal is in the out side of the thigh, right where you are supposed to land your leg kicks.

Femoral on the inside of the leg is also kicked.



In BJJ Femoral is used to break a scissor lock when it works.

[Szczepankiewicz]

they were not hard hits

Xforce, we don't expect hard hits from you, so that's ok.

Just because I'm done, dressed and gone before you even get in the mood doesn't mean it's a 'problem'.
