Is this explanation really efficient to expose in this...?

I, too, agree that the information should not have been posted - but for different reasons as well. What happened is someone asked "how to", and someone else said "here's how". S/He scrubbed the internet, culled the answer (apparently with a lot of copy/pasting), and posted the answer.

But this poster didn't bother to check the veracity of the place s/he copied it from, and because it was copied from a forum context where the original poster didn't provide a source for that information, no one can conclude (without prior experience) that the information is correct.

Secondly, with my years of training (and with very little study of pressure points) I can only conclude that the post (or the original sources) are probably correct, but in relation to the distances, and some of the nerves mentioned, I don't have a clue as to how technically accurate it is.

So the information shouldn't have been posted, partly because it wasn't passed off as technically accurate (no reputable sources were listed), and anyway, a lay person would have little way of figuring it out.

While I agree with the others posts about the information available and that it should not be made readily available for widespread use, I think it would be very difficult to find on an actual human body. However, it still doesn't lessen the chances that the children practicing these 'moves' could seriously injure or kill their 'friend' just like children playing with a gun.

There are some physical characteristics that change from person to person about pressure point location and one must be very knowledgeable (by way of physical experience) in how to find these points for them to work.

By the girl's answer I can assure you she has no idea what she's talking about, but she has access to the material and just copied and pasted it into the answer. There is no warning to the poster of the question or the general public that will come across this question, which can be unnerving. The fact that she chose this particular meridian is very upsetting, but at least she left out the striking angles, weapons, and pressures, save the wrist points. Most likely that was due to her ignorance.

It is a method of causing harm, so I wonder if we can report it and have it deleted...???

We have students of all ages and we do not teach pressure point fighting or Dim Mack to juniors classes. We only teach it to adult high ranked students.

There is a lot of misconception about Dim Mak or the death touch. It is nothing like you see portrayed in the movies. Most of the pressure points are deep and not easy to strike for maximum effect. A few are easy and can cause sever reaction and death if struck hard enough. Those are commonly known such as the ones on the neck and head. We insist that the healing use of pressure points be taught along with the Martial art applications.

As with everything else we teach in martial arts things should be age appropriate and the students should be ready to accept responsibility for the skills they acquire.

Im not to concerned with what people learn over the internet. The application of strikes to most pressure points must be hard enough and delivered fairly precise. This can only be accomplished through hours of diligent practice under the direction of a knowledgeable instructor. I agree though I personally would not offer instruction to a stranger.

Eventhough I don't believe in such thing, I'm kinda amused and sad at the same time.

Amused because people honestly think they can magically learn something that will suddenly stop someone cold just like a on and off button no matter what.

Sad because of how ignorant people are. If it is that easy to stop someone, everybody in the world would just work on "speed drawing" for that technique and not anything else.

Besides that, even if someone tries to follow what the idiot who answered explain, they expect to be able to find that exactly spot on everybody with all kind of body built, etc... It just show how ignorant they are.

Also people still don't realize that in the end when they need to use such technqiue the most, they are very likely to froze, stall, panic, or simply forget the whole thing.

You must keep in mind that many people are either young and impressionable. Many people don't really thing things through before asking questions. Many believe in magic, supernatural powers, ...etc. Many every day here ask questions like what is the most deadly martial art, what can I use to defeat this guy?

I find the public very gullible in general. they believe in get rich quick schemes, that a black belt on a child is valid, and that there are magic or forbidden techniques that will defeat anyone. The problem is not the questions or how ridiculous they are. The problem is the silly and dangerous answers some Y/A give them.

These questions will never go away. We can choose to ignore them or educate those that need guidance.

We do that strike differently in Target Focus Training.

The effect is anatomically similar to a constriction in blood pressure to the brain from a choke, resulting in black out or grey out or loss of fine motor functions or color visual perception.

Instead of a slow choke constriction, what you get instead is a sharp drop from a strike that disrupts the blood flow to the side of the neck.

People who try to experiment with this, should know that if the other guy falls, hits his head, and dies. You're going to jail. If he falls and has a heart attack, then dies. Guess what?

The point is, people don't take seriously things they tell themselves "I can't do it, but I want to find out". So they experiment. But without a safe way to do it, they're running a gamble.

TFT trains their people using everything except speed, so the full force is never imparted to the target area. If you knocked somebody out by doing the slow form of striking at the neck, either your reaction partner wasn't paying attention or you went too fast and didn't control your power. Both meant mistakes. And isn't good training, not to mention it isn't safe either.

That particular technique was taught to me early on. However, I have to say that everything I was taught, was only intended to be used if my goal was killing a person. That kind of means I can't use any of it unless the situation requires that somebody dies, potentially.

This is similar to how people view guns. They play around with them because there's an "OoAh" mystique factor. After I did the neck strike a few times, the Oooo Shiny response went away. Once you get good at something, it gets boring. Cause it is no longer new and it is no longer a challenge. Once a person is trained in firearms and has shot hundreds of hours at the range, the "Oooo Shiny" response when it comes to playing with mysterious and "deadly" firearms goes away. This also includes people that "fear guns".

And this includes All Age groups.

Hi there

I think that the person who wrote that post probably did it with the best intentions but you are absolutely right in that this sort of thing should never be posted online. I would even go one step further and say that books, dvds etc should not include this sort of thing either. It should be left to the instructor to decide if a student is mature enough to accept this. But then again it should be down to the instructor not to teach complete idiots as well. And we all know thats not the case these days because the world seems to be full of complete idiots and skilled thugs that shouldnt even be shown how to tie their shoe laces nevermind martial arts.

Best wishes

The lucky thing is the applications of pressure point "dim mak" techniques is really hard and requires a lot of training to be able to do with intent. Most people give up trying and believe it to be mystical b/s if they aren't taught by a qualified instructor.

Still, it is irresponsible to give that information out since it highly elevates the risk of accidental injury and death by experimentation.

Hopefully anyone interested in such a thing that has the discipline to actually learn the techniques also has the self-discipline to not abuse it. Medical doctors learn as much about pressure points as any martial artist and luckily most of them don't abuse that knowledge.

As forests receded, the ability to brachiate (struggle through timber) grew to become much less substantial. status upright had one distinctive benefit contained in the greater open environment; the ability to work out over savanna grasses and subsequently hit upon coming near predators. no remember if as an factor benefit or preliminary, bipedalism additionally freed up the front limbs taking into consideration greater suitable dexterity of the 'palms'. this could even have inspired evolution of the cerebrum, which finally introduced approximately progression of language.

2 children, one asking the question and the other answering.

niether one of them are martial artistes or realize how dangerous it is to use kyoshu jitsu. and real martial artist would not explain these techniques over the internet.

a proper responce would be this best answer
