General Introduction
In general terms, DIM MAK or death touch means to press or strike the chi
channel, meridians, blood, arteries and the cavities.
By strikes, blocks, throws, joint locks, and pressing the channels, arteries
and cavities change. These changes seal the breath, seal the blood, misplace
bone and change organs.
The human body has over 800 chi cavities or pressure points mostly on the
8 vessels and channels. The chi flow all runs
in a 24-hour cycle. The channels are related to the organs
and are also related to a time of day. They switch from one channel to
the other every two
hours. All of the above also run on a seasonal and a annual cycle too.
When the
chi flow is slowed or stopped at a particular time, season or year, sickness
or death can be the way the human body will
react.
There are 108 cavities that can be hit or pressed to affect chi flow, and
36 can cause death, 74 can cause numbness and unconsciousness. To make
the a strike effective you must know the time
of MAJOR CHI FLOW and the right strike, depth, and direction of
strike.
A general rule for finding hitting points of the body is "THE THREE-INCH
RULE". If you know one point on the human body every three inches from
that point in a north, south, east and west direction there are 4 more,
that gives you 5 points! Also from any of your
new points you can find two more In this way you can find all of the hitting
points.
In this work on hitting points I will show you many points on the hitting
point charts. From this you can find
the location of all or any point you want to help you in kata and
form application.
