 The most useful book I have bought in years July 7, 1999
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
As a student of healing an acupunture this book has helped me memorize the meridian points and the healing/destructive aspects. I do believe that as a person that works in a corrections instutition that not everybody should have access to these techniques. As far as an emergency life or death situation, Iam certianlly glad I have studied this text. I have both texts and feel like Erle is the most up-front and factual writer of martial arts, He leaves the Airy-fairy behind and the Mortal Kombat BS behind also.
 Think about it... please! October 4, 1998

Assuming that Dim-Mak pre-dates modern weaponry, would it not be reasonable to assume that such knowledge would make an army veritably invincible? Anyone recall reading about an invincible army? No. Why? One can kill during hand to hand combat, but not by means of acupressure. I rank this book right up there with Santa Claus and really bad K'ung F'u movies. By the way, it's also impossible to jump 12 ft up in the air and land on a tree branch backwards. Don't believe everything you see. The shortcut to true martial art proficiency lies in practice coupled with devotion. Direct your time and studies wisely.
Buy this book! September 23, 1998

This is the most complete book of pressure points out there. If you want a book on pressure points or if you want to expand your martial knowledge, this is the book to get.

If all you are concerned about is winning at tournaments, you don't need this book. It won't make your forms better, nor will it make your sparring significantly more effective ( light to moderate contact, people. This stuff can kill). OTOH, if you are a serious student of the Martial Arts, you really need this book. If you are interested in training to use Karate, Tai Chi, Kung Fu, etc. ( I am an Isshin Ryu student ) to defend your life, this book can be of immense help. I guarentee that you will never look at kata in the same way again.
