Cautionary Note to the Reader
The principles and techniques presented in this book are your information purposes only.
The reader should not attempt any of the techniques and exercises in this book without the
supervision of a qualified instructor. This is most especially true regarding the principles of Dim
Mak. It is the strong recommendation of the author that you DO NOT attempt to apply the Dim
Mak techniques on another person without a qualified instructor who is experienced in Dim Mak
and revival techniques being present. As always, it is wise to consult your physician before
undertaking any stressful exercise routine.
Acknowledgements
I recognize that I would not have been able to attempt this work without the
untiring support and assistance from many of my friends and students. I specifically
appreciate the dedicated effort of Timothy Jeffcoat, who has contributed to this work in
countless ways. It was Tim who first suggested I undertake this effort, and he has added
much to its completion through his dedicated commitment. I would also like to recognize
the support from Erle Montaigue, who has encouraged my efforts, allowed me to use
some of his illustrations, and added the forward which introduces this work. His
generosity and depth of knowledge of internal kung fu has been invaluable. In addition I
would like to thank the many students and fellow martial artists I have been privileged to
work with throughout the years. All have contributed to my understanding in countless
ways. Finally I would like to recognize my first Wing Chun teachers, Si-Fu Peter Yu and
Master Tam Hung Fun, whose dedicated teaching set me on the path that has lead to the
knowledge and understanding within these pages. There have been many other teacher
throughout the years, each has contributed to my understanding and skills in a variety of
ways, but perhaps the most significant has been Master David Nuuhiwa (Uncle David)
whose mastery of the finer points was willingly and unselfishly shared with me.

Foreword For "Chi Kung, Development and Practical Application
in Wing Chun Kung-Fu"
By Erle Montaigue (Master Degree, China)
Having read many books on Wing Chun over my 35 years in the martial arts business, it
is with great pleasure that I now write the foreword for Scott Baker's book. This book is an
attempt to bring Wing Chun out of the purely physical domain and in to the internal area
including such things as Chi Kung (Qigong) and Dim-Mak. There have been other books that
include Dim-Mak, however, these have been sketchy to say the least. Scott attempts to delve
deeper into the area of point striking, covering acupuncture points and their effects etc. This
book will be a great inclusion in any Wing Chun player's library.
