Dim Mak, (simplified Chinese: 点脉; traditional Chinese: 點脈; pinyin: diǎnmài; lit. 'press artery'; Jyutping: dim2 mak6), alternatively diǎnxuè (simplified Chinese: 点穴; traditional Chinese: 點穴), more famously, although incorrectly, known as the Death Touch, is an attack on pressure points and meridians in some styles of Chinese martial arts which is said to incapacitate or sometimes cause a delayed or even immediate death to an opponent.[1]
