I don’t know if this counts as dim mak or not. Um… they say if you get hit in the heart at just the right time between beats that you can die. Some kid just died like this playing soccer when the ball hit him in the heart.
Even if you were going to try to do this in a fight, it would be hard if not near impossible to know when their heart was at the right spot to hit. You’d have to like have a hand on their wrist to check their pulse or something.
But is this operating on the same principle as dim mak, or not?
All the “dim mak” training I’ve heard about has just been a methadology/pedagogy for training aimed striking. This “you die” or “you die later” stuff I’ve only ever encountered in novels, movies, and internet forums.
Yeah, I’ve heard about this too. It supposedly happens every now and then in slow pitch softball. Apparently it needs to hit with just the right amount of force (it’s not too much) at the right time and at the right angle. There’s been some litigation over a couple of this rare occurrences (something about safety equipment) but I don’t know too much else about it.
Maybe a monk or whoever witnessed this phenomenon on a fight and decided it was chi or dim mak.
There is no need for pre-medieval explanations here.
Besides stunning,the heart could go on beating rapidly but pumping no blood whatsoever,possibly resulting in death (I cannot recall the medical term for this condition).
But yeah,I think it would have to be the right angle,force etc.
It´s dim mak imho.
