Hash... You REALLY are naive. Perhaps you are referring to dim sum?...

Do you even understand what Dim mak techniques are? Let me enlighten you since you've obviously watched too many "Blood Sport" reruns. Dim mak is simply a series of pressure point strikes. Theoretically, if you can land certain strikes in a row, or a combination, it provokes a response. Some of these techniques are said to be as light as a touch... But it's all nonsense. Most people CANNOT even begin to land precise punches, let alone pressure points.

What I can tell you really hurts is getting uppercut in the ribs or left-hooked to the chin. You can feel your legs go out from under you... That's a better description of dim mak.
