Another and more advanced kind of Dim Mak is to strike or hit the person anywhere and transfer the force or energy into them so that it travels inside of them to anywhere else you want the energy to go. For example to hit their fore arm and send the energy of the strike to the recipients kidney, heart or lung. This method of Dim Mak does involve some basic understanding of the other methods and then a lot of specific internal training to learn how to feel inside the other persons body and how to transfer and direct force.
At a higher level all of the Dim Mak methods involve learning how to fix the Dim Mak strikes. The pressure point Dim Mak methods generally use specific points to fix and reactivate the physiology. To fix the transfer of force method involves learning to feel and sense the force that has been transmitted to the person and drawing or adjusting and removing it through various modalities including but not limited to counter striking, breath, mind intent and energy manipulation within yourself and then others.
Last but not least is Dim Hsueh Delayed Death Strikes. Dim Hsueh Delayed Death Strikes can be caused different ways including directing the force with your mind so that the effect of the strike is continuous causing the damage over a period of time. A concussion that causes bleeding and pressure on the brain is the kind of injury that most people are familiar with as some very famous individuals have died as a result of head trauma accidents where this kind of injury was the cause of death.
There are some pressure point methods of Dim Hsueh that when performed will cause issues that will become serious only after the passage of a bit more time. For example, if one of the valves on the intestines is struck in a way so that it closes and is damaged in a way so that it will not open then death could eventually occur but it will take as long as several weeks. Of course this would be a rather painful and gross way for someone to die but I am using it here to illustrate the point.
Another comparatively simple kind of Dim Hsueh is to strike in such a way as to cause a large deep bruise in an artery that can eventually break loose and go to the head or heart causing a stroke or heart attack. In this case death may be a quite pro longed process.
Another kind of Dim Hsueh is to literally transfer energy through a strike directed with mind intent so that the energy causes a series of events to occur over a long period of time. In this case the energy can be locked up for quite a long time until the recipient does something that causes the energy to release and travel through the system. The release could be caused by things such as an endorphin surge in the body, over excitement or nausea like when someone has the flu which tends to purge and weaken the entire body causing an overall energy movement in the body.
As I stated in the previous Dim Mak article the advanced study of Dim Hsueh is the Chinese Medicine aspect of it. I have personally removed a Dim Mak strike from several different individuals who had been struck by a master of the Chinese art of Dim Hsueh. At least two of the individuals were struck on purpose. One of the individuals was struck on accident. The master meant to teach them a lesson and put in more juice than they intended.
My particular studies in Dim Hsueh have focused on the medical aspect of it which of course makes my understanding of how to execute such strikes that much better but also better fits with my goals of being an advanced martial artist who helps people to improve their health and lives physically, mentally and spiritually.
