Let's be honest, in my telling you The Real Secret of the Dim Mak Poison Hand Death Touch, there's going to some people who like what I say, and there's going to be people who don't like what I say. Well, delusions die hard, but the truth is always better. The truth, when it comes to using the poison hand to kill people, is not all it is knocked up to be.

In the first place, this art exists, but it is extremely difficult to find a teacher, and, to be accepted as a student is incredibly difficult. You have to actually know a few kung fu styles, you have to have an introduction from a Kung Fu Master. And that is no guarantee that you will be accepted.

In the second place, one must question the worth of studying such a rare and esoteric art. It will take years to understand the teachings and to be able to actually use them in a fight. Quite honestly, the time spent learning the poison hand death touch you could spend learning other arts.

And, what is going to have more worth? The ability to touch somebody with your fingers and have him go off and die three days later at seven thirty eight if the moon is full? Or to get so good at other arts that nobody could get close enough to you to even try such a technique as the poison hand?

To learn the Dim Mak one will be studying medicine, but not the type of medicine that most doctors study. You will not learn to alleviate illness, but rather to cause the body to go into disharmony and croak. This means that you will have the double study of learning the right way of helping people, and the wrong way of destroying people.

You will also have to learn certain things about the time of using the death touch. You could strike (touch) somebody with a finger, but if it is the wrong time of the day, your touch is wasted. This means you are going to have to learn all sorts of things about the time cycle of the internal organs of the body, and how this translates to the trigger points on the outside of the body.

Look, I'm about done here, and you're free to do what you want, but let me tell you one little tale of a real death touch. Certain ninpo arts teach how to wear ring needles (and other types of gimcracks). They coat the needle with a deadly poison, then cover the needle with wax.

They can poison anybody and cause death, but they are safe to themselves and their friends. Now this is a real art that I am telling you, but one that doesn't take decades to learn and use. And that is about all I have to say on the subject of the real secret of the kung fu dim mak death touch.
