Master the Main Meridians of Power

The remarkable martial art technique of dim-mak, frequently misrepresented and misunderstood as the "touch of death," or "death-point striking," is actually the strategic and focused use of force to cause pain or lethal damage to an aggressor. Master Erle Montaigue and Wally Simpson's The Encyclopedia of Dim-Mak: The Main Meridians is the most comprehensive, informative, and authoritative resource on the subject.

Montaigue, one of the world's foremost experts on dim-mak techniques, and Simpson, a renowned Australian acupuncturist, together possess an unparalleled knowledge of this ancient Chinese martial art. They map the precise locations of every major strike point on the body, referencing the twelve main energy meridians: gallbladder, liver, bladder, kidney, stomach, spleen, heart, small intestine, lungs, colon, triple heater, and pericardium, and go on to catalog the effects of hitting each point during combat or self-defense. The authors also explore combinations of strikes and describe action potentials, angles, set-up points, antidotes, and warnings. Knock-out and deadly points are fully explained, providing skilled practitioners with the knowledge to effectively use strikes in real-world situations. Since the very same points that can be used to cause damage can also be used to heal, Montaigue and Simpson describe what the healing applications of each point are, particularly when used for acupuncture. Detailed photos and illustrations accompany the text, clearly depicting the locations of specific pressure points along the meridians.

Complete with glossaries and a bibliography, this vital reference book is essential for the library of any serious martial arts practitioner or those interested in acupuncture and traditional Eastern medicine.

Complete Your Dim-Mak Training with These Finer Points

The remarkable martial art technique of dim-mak is the strategic and focused use of force to cause pain or lethal damage to an aggressor. Master Erle Montaigue and Wally Simpson's The Encyclopedia of Dim-Mak is the most comprehensive, informative, and authoritative resource on the subject.

Montaigue, one of the world's foremost experts on dim-mak techniques, and Simpson, a renowned Australian acupuncturist, together possess an unparalleled knowledge of this ancient Chinese martial art. In the first volume of this two-volume set, The Main Meridians, they map the precise locations of every major strike point on the body, referencing the twelve main energy meridians. This companion volume, The Extra Meridians, serves to elucidate the eight additional meridians which are not associated with any organs, most notably the conceptor and governing vessels forming the centerline of the body's flow of energy. Use of these meridians as strike points can be key in effectively disabling an aggressor by causing confusion, lack of balance, and disrupting the body's polarity.

Montaigue has also included other, lesser-known points not associated with any particular meridian which are still effective points of attack. There is, in addition, a chapter devoted to the medical aspects of strikes to certain points, with accompanying evidence of why the strikes work. In the summation "Internal Methods" he reviews all of the information provided and raises it to a higher level of focus in directing the qi.

This second volume of The Encyclopedia of Dim Mak complements and completes the full course of learning how to use this ancient training as a balanced and effective defensive tool and full-body discipline.
