[.ca] Advanced Pressure Point Fighting of Ryukyu Kempo: ... (ISBN 0963199633)

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"

hhmmmm...............:
Firstly don`t bother to read this unless you are robot,because the techniques in this book are fantasy unless of course you are a robot fighting a robot.It is rediculous to think you can apply strikes to kyusho points against a maniac who is trying to rip your face off.All the techniques rely on cooperation which looks good within the world of symbolic combat which this is.I think this is a bad book giving people false ideas about the reality of a fight and a false sense of security.For some ideas about real combat I suggest one of the many books by geoff thompson.Or if you are seriously interested in a deep insight into Kata then Nathan Johnson`s "barefoot zen" is for you. My advice look elsewhere.

big disappointment:
Dillman knows how to do pressure points, but his book is too general and the pictures are taken from 10 feet away during one of his seminars. He should have hired someone to do close up pictures. If you want to see people passing out ,fine. If you really want to learn this stuff, don't waste your money.

Pure fantasy:
I wonder if Mr Dillman has ever had a real fight? because there is nothing in this book that could be used in a real fight. The techniques are pure fantasy. They rely on cooperation and robotic responses to artificial attacks in a highly controlled enviroment. Save your money and dont bother with this one.

Excellent book! Lots of knowledge:
I am training under one of George Dillman's former students and I find this book to be a great reference tool. For all of those who would say this can never be used, I invite you to visit http://www.kyusho.com and look around. There you will find more than 20 video clips of these techniques and point strikes, demonstrated for practical application. If you still doubt it, go to one of Dillman's seminars or perhaps find an instructor, who can show you how effective this information can be.
