Covertext

In The Encyckpcdia of Dim-Mak:

The Main Meridians, Erle Montaigue and Wally Simpson teamed up to compile the most in-depth study in print of every point on each of the 12 main energy meridians of the body.

This companion volume covers all the extras: the eight extraordinary meridians, the extra and new points, and invaluable supplemental knowledge that a student of dim-mak might only hope to gain after years of training with a master such as Erle

Montaigue. As in the first volume, both the healing and martial applications are addressed.

You'll discover how the extra meridians differ from the 12 main meridians, why six of the extra meridians are the source of most of the dangerous multiple pomt strikes in dim-mak, and why many Chinese doctors specialize in the use of the extra meridians only. In addition, you will learn which of the extra and new points work the best and are easiest to access for use in self-defense.

If you´ve ever wondered what medical science has to say about the effectiveness of dim-mak, this book offers physical evidence culled from Western medical research explaining how and why strikes to certain dim-mak points work.

Perhaps more importantly, it tells you what Montaigue has to say about which points and combinations of points he has found to be the most effective-including exactly what they do and how to use them.

For anyone who is serious about training in the deadly serious art of dim-mak, this book is an essential companion to The Main Meridians and a mainstay of any dim-mak library.
