When I was a teenager (like 14 or 15) my friend's dad got in a fight with a guy who was beating his wife in their apartment complex. He was a professional masseur, and he took him down with a back heel, mounted the guy, and started prodding and gouging pressure points while the guy wiggled in pain. It helped that he was a huge guy with some of the strongest hands ever and he worked on people for a living.

DIM MAK WORKS!:thefingerThe unbelievers!

Is he available for parties?
He actually died of cancer about a year ago. I actually had him come to an informal sparring session with various martial artists once. He had a background in some Japanese jujutsu, but mostly he was a big strong guy who knew a whole lot about what hurts the human body. It would've been cool if he did more martial arts training and shared his perspective on pressure points and such (even if I couldn't really make it work for me).

Cancer beats dim mak, I guess...

Just came across this again, felt it fit here:

Perhaps the best post I have read on Bullshido. Excellent research.
