Psychic goat killing shit is fake but Dim Mak is teh realz!

[gosao]

Did a member of an elite branch of the U.S. military really kill a goat with his mind?

Not exactly, says John Alexander, a retired U.S. Army colonel and key character in the book of the same name.

"Here is where we disagree," says Alexander, who was a fierce critic of the book, written by British journalist Jon Ronson, when it was first published. "They hit the goat -- I know the guy who hit the goat; I trained with him as well. But this was dim mak."

Dim mak, or the "death touch," is a form of martial arts that "defies conventional physiology," Alexander says. It works by disrupting the body's "chi."

The "dim mak" expert was Guy Savelli, a Kuntao & Silat teacher.
