Talk:Touch of Death
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wondered why Wikipedia did not have an article on this topic. I submitted a stub, but this interesting topic needs more edits!
Some links:
- http://www.straightdope.com/columns/040521.html
- Google search with many of the irrelevant references to Touch of Death filtered out:
This page could potentially be combined with Dim Mak, although I think Dim Mak is more of a subset of the Touch of Death move in general. James Lednik 07:01, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
- I think that the merge should be the other way, this article into Dim Mak. Neither article is especially good, but this one has very little going for it from an encyclopaedic standpoint, unfortunately. --Bradeos Graphon (talk) 14:22, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
I took a very traditional style of Shotokan karate in the mid-70s and the Death Touch we were trained in was always to the same spot on the body. Supposedly, it could cause death to occur at any time within the ensuing two weeks. The person who delivered the blow could not, to the best of my knowledge, control exactly when the death would occur. I have noticed that the exact location on the body is never specified in mass media or in documents available to the general public, so I won't specify it here. My reason is that at the dojo I attended many prospective students weren't accepted because the instructors didn't want violence-prone people learning what they taught, and this page is available to the general public.PMELD5 (talk) 03:23, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
