Dim Mak Dim Mak translates as "manipulation of points" or "manipulation of the arteries." The pronunciation of dim mak is an English approximation of the Cantonese term , an extension of the term in Mandarin dianxue which means "manipulation of pressure points", an essential component of some traditional Chinese martial arts and Okinawan such as Shaolin Kung Fu and Karate Jitsu (also known as Ryukyu Kempo, Okinawa-Te, Tode, etc). Centuries ago, when the Dim Mak came to Okinawa became known as Kyusho Jitsu (Japanese: the art of pressure points). In the United States, George Dillman took several Okinawan master the foundation for developing the Dillman Method of Pressure Point, a modern version of Dim Mak (Kyusho Jitsu). Until 2005, two decades after Dillman began to spread, has over 100 affiliated schools around the world, including China.In the Hispanic world George Dillman has members such as Hernan Fung grandmaster who lives in Costa Rica. Frequently the dim mak is known as the touch of death, however this does not seem as true as much of the pressure points when they are attacked do not cause death but other effects such as dysfunction of a limb or loss of consciousness. For centuries it has been a set of closely guarded secret by the masters who dominated. He inherited only the children and a very small group of students near and more reliable. This is the main reason why much of the modern styles of Kung Fu Dim Mak do not cover and why most Karate styles either. In traditional Chinese medicine explains that the proper flow of Qi (Chi, Ki) is vital for good health. This way if there is a problem in this smooth flow will be manifested in the human body as a health problem. Chinese acupuncture is based on this and other theories to treat various diseases.As opposed, the Dim Mak / Kyusho Jitsu is also based on the theories of Traditional Chinese Medicine but with a different approach. This is to induce the damage obstructing the smooth flow of chi by slight blows or applying pressure on certain points.
