It was once surmised that the quite a lot of animals chosen, depicted different characteristics. As an example, the leopard’s movements were used to develop speed in addition to strength. Tiger movements were formed to develop the bones, dragon movements to develop alertness and snake movements to develop temperament and endurance. Over time of experimentation, the Chinese found out two types of strength-inner and outer strength. Inner strength-denoting hidden power. One such form of inner power was once Dim Mak, the study and art of ” Touching nerve points” which involved a detailed analysis of nerve points in addition to developing the skills of the herbalist-a form that was once only taught to the most patient peaceful exponents.
