I'm not getting wet, and it's not raining.  No offense intended, but I don't understand.  Sorry.

I have watched Grand Master Dillman knock people out ALOT.  Yes, it's cool, no it doesn't cause medical conditions later in life.  Boxers suffer medical conditions for taking too many shots to the head.  Like 10 - 20 per match.  Dillman doesn't knock out the same person 20 times on a regular basis.  He has studied, along with many of his collegues, with Medical Doctors, Cardiologists, specialists in many fields FOR MANY MANY MANY YEARS.  He has studied extensively with Eastern Practitioners FOR MANY MANY MANY YEARS.  He will never know everything there is to know, no one will.  But he studies ALL THE TIME.  He tests alot of theories with MD's present.  I have been to seminars and watched him do it.

Now, just tapping a point to see the reaction, that's the way to start.  We teach our students that way.  Yes, just touching a point might hurt a little.  Then leave it alone!  Yes, tap a different one lightly and you may see sparks and stumble a little.  Then leave it alone! As instructors, we follow with restoration.  We teach with CONSTANT SUPERVISION!  We don't beat the hell out of each other, we experiment, with caution.  I have very active pressure points.  Just touching them, usually hurts pretty bad.  Some of my meridians are more active than others.  I JUST DON'T WORK THEM VERY MUCH!  Just like when you tell the Doctor "it hurts when I do this" and he says "then don't do that".  Get it?  I mean no disrespect to anyone who questions Grand Master Dillman's theories or think it's not valid.  You are all entitled to your opinions.  But don't just read his books.  Look for DKI schools, attend his seminars.  Not just one or two, he has different subjects and different collegues at each one.   If you have an open mind and are willing to open it to his theories, you will understand.  Not all at once.  Not in a month or a year, it's ONGOING.  And alot of fun!

A 3 day camp in Reading, PA is $250, includes lodging, meals, and a really good time.  There are alot of grand masters who teach alot of theories.  They are there to help you, the student, make sure you are executing the technique properly.  It's a pretty intense 3 days.

A 1 day seminar is generally 5 or 6 hours, and costs about $50.  Again, he has other grand masters teaching as well, again, helping the students. 

So I probably spend around $800 - $1000 per year for very valuable information, and Southwest Airlines has the best airfare deals.  Cheaper than gas.  It's all tax deductable!!!!!

I like some of Dillman theories, but on some of  the video I think some  of his student are not get ko they are just acting like they are get ko falling down. I have  attend some of his  seminar

My point is, any vital point struck Once, has some effect and when you strike it twice the effect become stronger strike it a multiple of times the effect becomes even greater. everybody knows that. Now when some one is K.O-ed there is damage each and every time because of the body shuting down along with the engery.  the point will heal on the outside and probably on the inside but the collateral damage will multipi till a unreturnable state is reached over a period of mounths and years,then you will become permenet ill. If you don't believe me ask your doctor or better still, call an acupunture doctor. and if you go back to the do jo and practice a technique over and over again You will with out dout have illness later on in life. THAT is my only problem with the Dillman-ites Before you go on to pratice in this way contact a doctor and see if you are doing more harm than good. I chalenge you to do so, and tell us all what the doctor tell you.

P.S I am sorry that I am so hung up on this point, But I personal know of a death of a freind who practiced this way. He dead two days after going to a seminar when he and his practice partner practice a strike to stomach # 9 over and over again! I don't won't it to happen to you.

TVR....

Ever been to one of his seminars?
KO is nothing remotely close to a stroke.
Money hungry?  Aren't we all in this biz to make money?
I'm not trying to recruit you, you should really read and study some of his stuff, not just watch a video.  And if you watched a video, he explained the technique as he did it.  He didn't just decide to show off and KO people.  He has studied for many years with doctors and specialists worldwide. 
JUst come to a seminar, get KO'd.  We'll make a believer out of you!!!

Dillman only KO people who want to be.  They volunteer.  I can also tell you, that he does'nt ko everyone.  Incapacitation.  That's enough to defend yourself.  Just enough to get away from your attacker and get help.  He is highly trained in the healing arts as well.  I watched the "6 foot chi disruption" with my own eyes.  Along with the eyes of over a dozen M.D.'s, accupunturists, cardiologists, and EMT's.  The guys were hooked up to all kinds of monitors.  THe doctors checked them out before and after.  Everyone's OK.  He doesn't hurt anyone in his demonstrations.  I don't have as many years under my belt as you, no where close, but, I have trained with him for a long time.  I know alot more than I thought I ever would.  I'm thankful to him for that.  My mind is open to other styles, I've checked some out, practiced with other instructors, but I haven't been impressed.  Not that yours is wrong, I'm not saying that.  I guess this is what makes the world go around, right?

I  have been to a Dillman seminar. I like some of Dillman theories I believe in pressure point and the ko. Our school has alway messed around with pressure point. but in some dillman film ,example he ko Bill Burch he laying on ground  with a goofy look with a smile on his face. My opionion is  that Oyata is a lot smoother when he ko some body.No  i am not a student of Oyata I know their is feud  with Oyata and Dillman .Just as their was feud with Oyata and Odo.My system branch off from odo

Oyata, It's to bad he isn't the showman dillman is, because he is "Ichi bon" if you know what I mean. one tap good by. He has tried to make dvd's and they are very good too, but he has poor marketing skills in his organization and he really doen't want to teach that way, and as far as Kata and weapons,top of the heep. Dillman I beleive has taken lessons from Oyata, did you know that.
 Odo sensei I don't know of, but I think Iv'e heard of him, tell me more about Odo sensei.
