Dim-Mak: Death Point Striking (PDF Book)

Those who doubt that t’ai chi ch’uan is one of the deadliest system of self-defense ever invented don’t know about dim-mak.
What many serious martial artists now deride for its delicate, dancelike movements or dismiss as nothing but a path to good health is merely a smokescreen created by the ancient Chinese masters to conceal an art comprised of deadly strikes to vital acupuncture points. That art was known as dim-mak, or death-point striking—the original name for t’ai chi and the key to how the art earned its title of “supreme ultimate boxing.”
Today only a handful of instructors know the points and their hidden applications. Erle Montaigue, who can trace his lineage back to Yang Lu-ch’an, founder of the real Yang style, is one of them. In this book, Montaigue, an internationally acclaimed leader in the instruction of t’ai chi ch’uan, tells the full story of dim-mak for the first time.
Against the advice of some of his seniors, he reveals the most dangerous points and describes both their martial and healing applications, then takes it a step further by presenting set-up points, multiple point strikes, and neurological shutdown points.
He does so because he believes now is the time to educate people thoroughly on the dangers of this powerful martial art.
He has seen instructors use bits and pieces of the art in demonstration and recognizes that too little knowledge can sometimes be a dangerous thing indeed. Dim-mak is a deadly serious system of self-defense to be used only in a life-or-death situation. It must not be treated lightly.
This book is meant to drive that point across—and to educate people as to why t’ai chi truly is the “supreme ultimate” in terms of deadly effectiveness. This book is for information purposes only
