Is there something else in kata besides just punching and kicking?

After 10 or 15 years of doing the same kata one begins to wonder what else is there about kata and these techniques? In the late 80's I came upon Dillman's tapes and books and was amazed at the effectiveness and efficiency of use. After exploring the many variations of "a punch is a block is a throw is a punch" some still wonder what else might be missed with the kata. This book opens another useful door for your kata and kumite techniques. Now after 40 years in the traditional martial arts I still continue to marvel at Dillman's revelations. Thanks for opening another window of understanding. Roberto [...]

Seeing is believing

The reviewer below is an uninformed moron. I have attended several of Mr. Dillman's seminars and have had many of the knockouts described in the book performed on me personally. I am a trained scientist and biologist who is not fooled by hocus-pocus mystical nonsense. Anyone who is a doubter need only attend one of Mr. Dillman's seminars. NO ONE goes home an unbeliever. The methods outlined in this book DO work. This book is THE book to get on pressure point karate!! I have gone back to it so many times my copy is almost worn out.

pressure points are the way to go

To any and all people who think Dillamn is a fraud, you should come to a seminar and see how easy it is to knock out a non-believer. Master Dillman's methods are both awe-inspiring and highly effective. Some people are just too afraid of what they don't understand. The rest are just too confident in their "partial arts"

A good book which gives lots of information on pp fighting.

Many people just want to learn how to beat someone up. Mr Dillman shows the most efective and 'sometimes' humain methods of controling a situation. The book is mearly a tool in discovering the finer details of PP fighting. Having studied Acupuncture and Martial arts for a large portion of my life I feel strongley that the information given is of great importance to any martial artist. Having been KO'ed by some of these points I can Guarentee that these techniques DO work. The problem is not the techniques that are taught by Mr Dillman but by people having "Tunnel Vission" with regards their martial arts. A thoroughly enjoyable book and a recommended read for any one with an interest in martial arts and PP fighting, although it does help to have a bit of knowledge about how the body functions both in western medicine and in Chinese philosophy also. Well done Mr Dillman.

It will change your way of thinking about the Martial Arts!

This book has an excellent presentation of the nerve anatomy. Master Dillman clearly demonstrates the correct ways of striking these nerve areas along with explinations of effects and dangers. I picked up a autographed copy of this book in 1994 after attending one of his seminars. At that seminar I personaly experienced a pressure point knockout by the author. Durring the signing of the book I commented to Master Dillman that I was skeptical at first but now felt I had wasted 17 yrs. of martial arts training by not being exposed to pressure points. The book is an excellent start for any martial artist who wants to learn the pressure points and understand there applications. If your going to buy a book on pressure points, DO'NT PASS THIS ONE UP!......DAVID KNIESS 3rd Dan
