Vital Points
: specific locations on the human body where vital energy is concentrated. According to dim mak experts, striking or touching these points in the correct manner can immobilize a limb, or even kill.Some points correspond to blood or lymph circulation points, and striking them can cause a blood clot to form, or shut down circulation to an area of the body.
Some points correspond to nerve centers, and striking them can numb muscles or render them useless.
Many dim mak points correspond to acupuncture points--the same places where a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine places acupuncture needles. Acupuncture has been used effectively to help patients stop smoking, cope with arthritis and back pain, even as anesthesia in surgical operations.
