Dimak, point striking etc that has the effect of killing you in 2 days time, not only do you have to hit a certain point on your opponents body, which he is obviously going to let you do, but at the right time, day, month. Sorry! can I swear at this point. The body has certain points which can be made to be uncomfortable when pressure is applied and if I punch you or finger strike you in pretty much any part of your body ITS GOING TO HURT. In some areas, like the neck, the body can be made to shut down this basically is the result of the brain smashing about inside the skull and the restriction of blood supply to the brain, eh! just like boxing. Most of the Masters were trained in body mechanics and manipulation to be able to treat problems that the local population suffered from and as a result learnt also how to give pain aplenty. One other thing is if it is real then why people don’t just keep falling down dead for no apparent reason just because they bumped into the door at the wrong time of the month. Now if they'd bumped into my girl friend at the wrong time of the month I could understand it. A lot of so called magic can also be put down to the power of suggestion like Voodoo and hypnosis. Could this be where the real power lies most boxing matches etc are won and lost before they have even entered the ring. When I have seen this done its is only with their own students and the " no I can do it on you my energy will damage you" cop out, yeh right or as I have said before they have hit them so hard that of course he is going down, you hit him you prat. By the way if there is anybody out there that can make me unconscious with a mere touch please let me know as I'm suffering from insomnia at the moment and while I think of it do you want a new student.
