Ultimate Dim-Mak : How To Fight A Grappler And Win

Rating:
Summary: the downfalls of grappling revealed
Review: All the negative reviews of this book apear to be written by grapplers. People who have spent years of their life learning to wrestle an opponent to the ground and either brake an arm or choke them out. It's understandable that they would'nt think highly of a book that shows the weakness of their style(for example grappling is only good against one opponent any two untrained bumkins can take out a grappler, one can wrestle with him on the ground and the other can stick a knife in his ribs). DIM-MAK IS AN EXCELENT WEAPON against any style. This book just happens to show you how its used against grapplers.

Summary: Dim Mak is real and it can save your life in a grapple
Review: Contrary to the publisher's statement, the Ultimate fighting Championships are *NOT* "no-holds barred". Practioners of San Soo and Dim Mak are restricted or entirely banned. Just ask UFC for a participant rules list. Practioners of these systems are taught to protect themselves at any cost. An attacker may try to punch your lights out and catch your eye with the tip of his/her index finger and blind you for life. He/she may slam your head against the pavement and give you brain damage or kill you. You just can't asume the attacker's character! If you get grappled in the real world, Dim Mak may be your best defense against serious injury or death. This book, and others by Montaigue, will help you get the grappler the heck off you.

Summary: I can see him doing it but i can't see how
Review: Every book is a good book, but don't buy this one expecting to learn how to defend yourself from a grapler's attack. The book lacks essential details, that make all the damn difference. You can see him doing it but he gives you no real clue how it is done. You can learn much more on a single judo, wrestling or gracie jiu jitsu class. In fact, that's THE best way to learn how to deal with a grappler. Do not fool yourself.

Summary: Pro and Con
Review: Hey Guys, I have not read this book, but I see there are a arugement going on. Grappling is one of the basic of fighting along with blows. UFC is not a playground, the rule are set to keep UFC ALIVE! I would study this art and see what i can do if it comes in handy. If it doesnt come in handy i will. TELL YOU this book is a waste of time!

Summary: Dim-Mak is the ultimate fighting technique, sorry grapplers.
Review: How can one deny thousands of years of combat fighting knowledge such as this. A world (the battle field or street) were there is absolutely no rules. Unlike NHB or UFC smooth-ring fighting where the rules (no neck strikes, no gouging, no finger hooks and the unwritten rule of no groin strikes) are made to give grappling the advantage. Dim-Mak is clearly superior and Erle Montaigue does a good job of showing it.

Summary: this book is a waste, mistitled
Review: I don't how anyone could come to the conclusion that this book even begins to fit its title. Out of the 365 figures showing the various "techniques to fight a grappler and win" only about 10 of them are even on the ground! The rest are mostly somebody standing up at arms distance apart! If anyone thinking of buying this book thinks that you will learn attacks on fingers, face, ect... from being on the ground, think again, this book is worthless as soon as the fighting turns to ... grappling. Save your money and buy something more informative from positions other than facing your opponent directly 3 feet apart.

Summary: mixed opinions
Review: I get the idea that the author is a very smart man with years of experiense under his belt. The book says a lot of really smart things and I could say it was one of the best ones I've read. The problem is that between these excerpts of greatness are countless expressions of empty promises that his way is better then any other. The moves seem logical enough but I seriously doubt that even the best book could ever defeat a style. He makes constant referances to "the fools who still study Karate" saying that sparring and kata and other things are no match for training your mind for adaptability. he also talks about the UFC like a playground, with such an extreame number of rule and regulations that the whole thing is safe and stupid. I truly think that takeing out eye and neck gougeing hardly makes it a foolish game.

Summary: Best Book Ever Written!!!
Review: I think everyone should read this book, and rely on it to learn how to defend him/herself. Anyone who reads this book can defeat even the best grappler, with the greatest of ease.

Those are the facts.

Read this book, become a monk, and never get your [...] kicked again! Do it, and do it now!

Note to grapplers: The more people out there who rely on these techniques to beat you, the less likely you are to ever lose a fight. Do your best to promote it.

Summary: You're fooling yourself if you believe the title
Review: If there were any way Dim-Mak or any other art could consistently defeat Submission Fighting, they would do better at no-holds-barred contests. Since Grapplers control the distance in any fight, the only way to defeat them is to grapple better than they can. A word to the wise: don't become overconfident when reading this nonsense. Practice the techniques with a good submission fighter and you'll see what I mean.
