Dim Mak
Dim Mak ist eine traditionelle Kampfkunst, welche über tausende von Jahren alt ist und in China in den taoistischen Klöstern gelehrt wurde. Der Dim Mak wird für die Selbstverteidigung und die Heilung eingesetzt.
Eine Begegnung eine Chance
Ein Schlag ein Toter“ sowie auch „eine Begegnung eine Chance“ sind die wichtigsten Bestandteile des Dim Mak, welche man sich merken muss. Nur wer sich diese Dinge vor Augen hält, kann das Dim Mak richtig verstehen und anwenden. Diese Philosophie wirkt sich somit auf das ganze Leben aus.
Combat des Dim Mak
Wer sich nicht perfekt verteidigen kann,
dem nützen die Druckpunkte des Dim Mak überhaupt nichts.
Eine reale Selbstverteidigung, wie der Dim Mak (Dian Xue) lässt eine Übertragung in einen sportlichen Wettkampf nicht zu. Dies liegt zum Einen an der Vielseitigkeit der Angriffs- und Verteidigungsmöglichkeiten, welche direkt oder indirekt zum Tod des Gegners führen können. Zum Anderen ist auch die wettkampfübliche Gewichtsklassen-Einteilung realitätsfremd, da im Verteidigungsfall der Gegner nicht alleine oder sogar bewaffnet ist und somit nicht ausgesucht werden kann. Diese extrem gefährliche Selbstverteidigung kann man nicht durch Regeln verfremden. Es ist ein stark verzweigtes System, das dem Anfänger einen präzisen unkomplizierten Einstieg in die Selbstverteidigung ermöglicht und dem Fortgeschrittenen ein breites Spektrum an Kenntnissen sowie die Einsatzmöglichkeit bietet, die Techniken im Dim Mak richtig anzuwenden und somit zur Vervollkommnung der Kampfkunst führt.
Die Dim Mak Techniken sind kompromisslos und direkt. Durch die gezielte Anwendung der Druckpunkte können Sie sich mehr auf die Präzision konzentrieren und so wirksamer einen Gegner ausschalten.
Auf der anderen Seite, können einige der Dim Mak Druckpunkte zur Heilung verwendet werden. Sie können Energie bezogen zu einer besseren Gesundheit, Wohlbefinden und Langlebigkeit beitragen.

Ein bekanntes Sprichwort von Laotse lautet:
Ein Unglück folgt einem Glück
und das Glück ist bereits im Unglück geboren.
Geschichte des Dim Mak auf Englisch:
The origins of pressure points are as old as the history of mankind. Primitive man learned that by striking his enemy at certain "weak" parts on the body his chances of survival in a confrontation were greatly improved. However pressure points as a science really came into maturity during the age of the Shaolin temple (built in 495 AD at the foot of Songshan Mountain in Henan Province, China).
Shaolin was like a university at that time and contained vast amounts of knowledge on both martial and healing arts. People would come from all over China to study at the famous Shaolin temple. Ex-soldiers seeking to live out their days in peace and solitude would often retire to the temple bringing with them different martial skills and battlefield experiences.
Doctors would travel to Shaolin to seek their advice and further their own knowledge as well as share their experiences. So it was a natural progression for the temple monks to combine their martial skills with their knowledge of the body's energy systems and functions to create the ultimate form of Pressure Point Fighting. This information gradually began to filter to the outside through monks leaving the temple to teach small pockets of the population.
During the Ching dynasty (1644 -1911) the Shaolin temple became a focal point for the rebellion against the Manchu leaders, often giving refuge to fugitive patriots as well as teaching their fighting skills to the community, who needed a fast and effective way to defend themselves against the Manchu oppression.
When the temple was eventually attacked and destroyed by a huge government force around 1674, the monks were forced to flee throughout China and blend in with the local population. With them they took the Shaolin knowledge of fighting and pressure point skills that eventually went on to form most of the traditional family styles of Kung Fu. Some monks also travelled to of South East . Asia, forming the basis of many of their martial systems.
Chinese civilisation is one of the oldest in the world, and an important part of its culture is the practice of martial arts and traditional medicine. The two are inseparably linked and their origins can be traced back 4,000 years. However because the history of pressure points has always been clouded in secrecy and passed on by word of mouth, we can find evidence of pressure points through the development of Chinese acupuncture.
A large number of distinguished practitioners of martial and healing arts, as well as Chinese doctors have made important historical achievements. This section offers a brief chronology with some of the major developments to give you an appreciation of the evolution or advancement of pressure point as a fighting and healing art.
Please note that due to China's very long and colourful history, it is difficult to give exact dates. Even eminent authorities differ on these dates; however, the dates given assure an approximate time in the history of China.
