By Michael Kelly,
D.O.Foreword by Master
Erle MontaigueThe
martial arts world is
rife with tales of
ancient masters who
could cause instant or
delayed death or illness
by attacking secret
points on the human
body. But to the Western
mind, the concept of
striking acupuncture
points to disrupt the
internal energy, or chi,
seems like hocus-pocus.
Thus, many serious
martial artists dismiss
the ancient art or dim-mak
(also known as kyusho
jitsu), which is
literally translated as
"death touch," as
nothing more than
fiction. However, if one
can accept the idea that
a dim-mak point is an
avenue for attacking the
nervous system, then it
becomes easier to
understand how striking
specific points or
groups of points can
devastate the organs and
the cardiovascular
system. In this book,
Dr. Michael Kelly, an
osteopathic physician
and experienced dim-mak
practitioner, explains
dim-mak's effects based
on medical science. In
layman's terms, Dr.
Kelly reveals the
physiological basis for
what is clearly a very
real and dangerous
method of fighting. In
the process of
unraveling the mystery
of this legendary art,
Dr. Kelly makes the true
genius of its founders
brutally, and painfully,
apparent. Softcover. 184
pages packed full of
photographs and
illustrations. |
