 In the film, Dux (Jean-Claude Van Damme) proves that he has been trained by Master Tanaka by demonstrating a move described as a "dim mak" or "death touch" attack to the judges as a means to gain entry into a full contact Kumite by striking a stack of five bricks with his hand and breaking only the bottom brick.Dux also uses the "dim mak" technique on Pumola during the Kumite before delivering a Johnny Cage-esque coup de grace, ending the match.The monk class in "Dungeons & Dragons" has a high-level "Quivering Palm" ability that can mark an opponent for death and be activated later to kill them with lethal vibrations.
