“Cinnabar Palm”, or “Blow of deferred Death”?

Fu Hok Seung · 12-23-2003, 04:27 PM

From the book by Jin Jing Zhong "Training Methods of 72 Arts of Shaolin" (Tanjin, 1934):

“Cinnabar palm” is the soft GONG FU, it trains the inner power and belongs to category YIN. This exercise is also called “The Palm of Plum Blossom”1 (MEI HUA ZHANG) and “Palm of Red Sand” (HONG SHA ZHANG).
…If you are in command of this GONG FU, you need not touch the enemy with hands. You make stroking movements or strike with a palm at some distance and the enemy is severely injured and will surely die in 10-15 days or even in several hours. Being in command of this GONG FU, you must not misuse it in any case. It is a manifestation of guile and ill intentions to use it secretly. It can be used only in extremity to defend your life or the life of your near relatives. Unfounded use of this skill is immoral and disapproved by specialists in WU SHU.”

See in detail here: http://www.kungfulibrary.com/gong

Is it possible in reality and if so, how can it be explained from the scientific point of view? It would be interesting to know if anybody is in command of this technique at the present time. Perhaps, somebody has some knowledge about it and he will be able to answer some questions at least.

P.S. One more resembling method - "One Finger of Chan Meditation". Here a blow is made with a forefinger at some distance, which results in injury of the inner organs or spasms of blood vessels (see ISSUE#2).

Yes the Japanese have their version of this thing. Crazy thing that it translates the same. In both China and Japan it's called folklore and myth

Somebody tried that stuff on me once when I inadvertantly cut them off in traffic. In the American version you hold up your middle finger and jab it up into the air in front of their face. Like this

. I understand the Brits have their own version using two fingers, which seems a bit perverse to me...
