Cengiz Dervis does the Dim Mak!

Here’s a neat little video of British actor and martial arts expert Cengiz Dervis, showing us the ‘Dim Mak’ (aka Iron Palm or death touch).

You might remember the term ‘Dim Mak’ used in the movie “Bloodsport” starring Jean-Claude Van Damme where his character (Frank Dux) demonstrates it on some bricks. Here, Cengiz wields the awesome technique on a coconut!  DISCLAIMER: Please don’t try this at home or without proper training!

Cengiz has been practicing martial arts for well over 30 years and holds a 5th degree black belt in the art of Shen Chi Do.

He will also play the lead, John West, in the exciting action-thriller film “By Any Name”, titled after author Katherine John’s best-selling book.
