Talk:Touch of Death

message: Probably not the best of section titles, since the topic itself is a "cultural" matter by nature of being a concept from Wuxia fiction.
*it originates in Chinese Wuxia fiction
*it was adopted in kung fu movies (which are basically an extension of classical Wuxia to a modern medium)
*it made an appearance in shady 1960s to 1980s neo-Ninja bullshido
*since the 1990s (?) it serves as a kind of campy pop-culture cliché used even outside of its original genre (but is this notable)?

replies: text: OK but you can't just remove big chunks of content without a reasonable explanation. I suggest that you start writing a draft of the new article at Draft:Dim Mak (martial art) and then get some feedback from other knowledgeable editors such as at Wikipedia:WikiProject Martial arts. ... discospinster talk 23:05, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

text: Fair enough. I will draft and pull the factual content if you are forcing me to modify the page you have.  As stated earlier, the other option is to create a new page called Dim Mak Martial Arts and you can keep the Touch of Death as a reference to fraud, pop culture, rumor, etc.  Which option would you suggest.  I am sure that Dim Mak Martial Art for facts, and Touch of Death for uneducated group think would clarify many discrepancies.  The state that it is in right now assumes that any rumor I start about other arts can be the overarching theme for them, since this one has been singled out.  Please let me know which way you would like for me to proceed.Rlawhorn (talk) 23:12, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know enough about the sport to make suggestions on content. My concern is making sure that such significant changes are worked through at a reasonable pace rather than all at once. All I can recommend is writing a draft version and then asking other editors from martial arts backgrounds for review. ... discospinster talk 23:31, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I encountered a series of translated articles in Gong Fu Magazine #7-10 (2004) from a Chinese original apparently written by a Jin Jing Zhong in 1934 in Tanjin. This details a Dian Xue Shu: Skill of Acting on Acupoints, and includes supposed training for non-contact applications. According to this document, training begins with a carved dummy marked with red points which the student targets after covering fingerpoints in while chalk, including at night in darkness after alleged darkness training, then proceeds to the targeting of silk balls, bags of rice and then iron shot, finally to candles and even incense sticks to be extinguished while behind barriers including iron sheet to simulate the interposition of armour. While unbelievable, the articles purport to be older Chinese originals rather than appearing to be simple modern fraud, though they may be, and should be looked into. ~~ Passerby  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.240.142.102 (talk) 20:35, 2 August 2020 (UTC)

message: Dim Mak was also demonstrated in the BBC documentary series 'Mind, Body and Kick-Ass Moves', and the docu deserves mention. The episodes are available in the YouTube channel of the same name, though I forget which one Dim Mak was shown in: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2jyU0vqGmjcFeRVzYrzamw/videos
