i believe this is the highest form of technique there is in martial arts. most people are skeptical because of its internal basis. it is very hard to accept something so effective and yet so different from yourself. what i mean by this is that taking your opponent down with force is simpler to understand than knocking him out with a simple touch. dim mak is not something magical like most people see it. it works on a very exact science, although it doesnt exist in western medicine. this science will teach you how the flow of energy(chi in chinnese and ki for japanese) in the body works and in turn you will learn how to heal it(accupuncture) and how to stop it(dim mak). this is however different from nerve point striking wich is comonly used by the art of original ninjitsu. "chi" or "ki" is not something physical like nerves but rather pure energy. dim mak takes a very long time to learn actualy there's this saying that dim mak mastery takes three life times to master. any way if you want to learn dim mak you should look up the arts that uses it. which is taiji quan or tai chi, shaolin(specifically eagle, crane, mantis, and dragon), jit kune. there are more but i cant seem to recollect them...anyway try looking up erle montegue he teaches a much more practical way of learning dim mak but even he learned dim mak from the greatest masters in china for more than 30 years so this aint no ordinary art.
