That's why I said it's been 'done to death'. Nobody will want to use it if that's the impression they now have of the style.

Incidently, that fighter is scheduled to fight Gomi in '07

The kid can't even throw a proper punch. Just look at that! No form or technique whatsoever, like some piece of sh*t off the street. Why the hell would Pride wanna set up crap like this for Gomi?

In the rules it says no nerve strikes, DIM Mak or anything that could kill a fighter. Other wise it would be used, BTW most MAs in the US dont even know DIM MAK nor do practitioners use it.

To clarify things I've studied the form called Dim mak for about 2 years now and there is no technique that is used that calls for staring. And in Dim mak it is rare that anyone will actually die. But it is a good way to incapacitate your opponent. I actually think that style would get banned immediately because if not used properly it could cause serious injury really quick. It would make a broken arm look like a paper cut compared to what Dim mak can do.

The nerve strikes rule is unenforcable as nerves are under every square milimeter of the skin. Besides, much of Dim Mak relies on artery injury and even chi. Since chi is an invisible force, there would be no way for the promotions to prove it has been used.

You say good tuition is unavailable in the 'States. That is a crying shame, but as the wealth of mma practicioners increases I hope we will see more and more of them travel to the Tibetan monestaries to learn the dark arts.
