Dim Mak would actually not be the best example of what you're looking for, Kenji; at least not in my own opinion. It does fit, but not as well as neijing does, and I'll tell you why I believe this. Dim Mak, at least in the way martial artists have studied the concept over the years, is a technique that actually is not so much internal as it is physical. This is a common misconception. It takes advantage of concussive force, focused in a martial artist's hand, to essentially cause a "ringing effect" to whatever it strikes, a really powerful blast of vibrational force. The idea may be internal but it is an equal amount physical as well.

From what I understood, you're looking for a concept revolving around pinpoint internal striking. I mean, the force behind one's attack is not a magical heat-seeking missile; it's not going to know automatically what the "dead center" is of a victim or object. Dim Mak boasts that it works this way because it basically is just a crushing ball that sends shockwaves after striking the surface, which causes a lot of damage and lo and behold, the center gets crushed too. But this isn't intentional, it simply can't be when it relies on a physical set of laws.

Neijing, on the other hand, is a concept revolving around conscious control over your ki. In other words, your internal force can be completely manipulated and controlled when transmitted. I originally deemed Ikkotsu and Sokotsu to work with this idea. The weakness in efficiency lies in the fact that an attack like that would lose its strength, due to the physical laws governing energy and waves, before actually striking the "center". On the other hand, consciously controlling the force allows the martial artist to strike at the presumed center with the full brunt of that force without allowing any of it to get lost in transition.

From what I understand, that is basically what you were looking for; something that allows a sort of control over the force transmission, so I'd definitely recommend looking into neijing for that.
