no I'm not dissing off Apple comuters...
Just wondering if anyone here has studied any Dim Mak or Kyusho-jitsu?
Or know anyone that has.
I know of three people but they aren't telling me . One of them is close to giving into my complaining, I'll work on him and get the secrets out.
I don't even nessesarliy have to learn the techniques, I just want to learn how to defend against them (if possible) if they ever come up. (not likely since its an ancient martial art thats about 100X more secretive than ninjitsu) Just learning even the ground theory would be useful. Even the internet won't help me. :(
If you do know something and don't want to post it (understandably) then please PM me. |

Man, I think you should stick to banging out on your PA box. :D
Seriously, what style of asskick-fu do you take?
-ET, the TKD kid because most Korean boys took that some point in their life |

I'm on Team Canada Karate (I train in Chitro and shadowkan styles)
I also train extensivly in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Japanese Jiu-Jitsu.
Besides that I've trained for a bit in everything that's available to me on the Japanese side of martial arts but besides a little bit of TKD I've never trained in Korean or Chinese Martial Arts.
or yeah I also have 5 years now of Bo-Jitsu |

Dude, you're covered. Karate for long range, Jujitsu for clinch and BJJ for ground. So whatever situation you're in, you'll most likely be able to deal with it. (Providing it's a straight one on one fight)
None of these 'secret' art can't stand a direct blow to the nuts anyways. (Not that I've seen)
-ET, who is still very contemptuous of any karate kid :D |

Dim Mak is death touch pressure points. My short range BJJ or Japanese jiu-jitsu game won't work against it. pressure points, while used a bit in jiu-jitsu are not covered to the same extent and are no where near as dnagerous. Sure I can deal with defending your average rear choke, kimura or artiry sqeeze but I'm not dumb enough to think I know everything. Dim Mak is one of those areas I know and recognize as a weak spot. I cross train in everything to extent that I do because I want my all of my bases covered. Death Touch is just that next step I want to learn for defense.
Ideally I'd like to switch to Mauy Tai for my stand up game, I think it would be a bit more stratigic than karate but apparently I'm alright at Karate after 11 years and things are going well there. I also like the traditional and respectfulness aspects that Karate provide grounding in. I also don't have the time to pick up another disipline just right now. |

^If I read you correctly, you're at the point where Muy Thai wouldn't add much to your game. Only spot where Muy Thai will add is with knees in clinch situation and that doesn't take much to learn. Not if your karate senseis aren't dumbasses and taught you how to punch and kick decently.
As for the death touch dudes, you really can't learn to defend against those things unless you know how to do it yourself. I'd suggest bringing a gun if you ever go toe to toe against one of these types. ;) |

guns just aren't cool enough for me.
yeah the mauy tai wouldn't add much but the elbows and knees in the clinch but it's enough to make a difference. Obviously we do them in Karate too but its not the same focus and I think there is always room to improve when you move into more focused arts.
btw: I got my answers on Dim Mak. So I'm set now. :) |
