 Extremely Useful August 25, 2005

This book teaches you exactly what it says on the cover: The 12 katas of Dim-Mak. The destructive (KO) and controlling (Shen) cycles are not covered in this book because they hold no bearing on the forms. They are covered in depth in some of his other works such as the Encyclopedia of Dim Mak. In short, I was able to learn the katas and fa-jing (explosive movements)and improve my abilities ten-fold.
No BS, just good instruction October 15, 2002

I'm only really writing this review as an answer to the one presently listed at the mo. I do really feel that people have got it in for Erle and his books, and this comes across in some reviews of his work. I don't agree with everything he's written, but I do know what works. I've had this book for a number of years now, and it does exactly what it says in the title: show you the 12 circular dim-mak forms of the Old Yang style taiji - no more, and certainly no less. It's not a pretty book to look at, but there's certainly no BS in there. I've had experience of several grappling styles, as well as karate, kung-fu, tae-kwon-do, boxing and kickboxing, as well as taiji and several forms of bagwa and hsing-I over the past twenty-five years, and I'll simply say this: as good as I was at boxing and judo, (and I wasn't too bad at all of them), I never fully "understood" grappling or striking until I put these forms into practice - it din't come immediately, but after practicng these short forms foe just a little while, I "knew" how to throw/strike/and grapple, it was just a case of putting the hard work in of learning the forms and chi-gung at my bodies own pace.
Yes, this stuff does work, and it'll probably enhance your other activities. If you don't want this stuff to work, it never fully will- but learn them and see for yourself. All you need for self-defence is in this little book, it just takes a bit of time and practice, that's all.
 Don't even think of buying this book. Total BS. September 2, 2002

I have 17 years of experience in martial arts, including experience in Kyusho-Jitsu (pressure point fighting). This book is a total waste of money. This guy is a joke because he even doesn't know about simple cycle of destruction between five elements, which is the most important part in pressure point fighting.
