    Its always a sign that whatever a video is showing you is bull when adding comments has been disabled.

    Gotta love how the guy falls into a perfect star shape. Reminiscent of the putties in Power Rangers.

    He actually doesn't hit the guy. WTF?

    Heh. I love it when these come back around. Entertaining every time. Notice that it's the same guy that get's "knocked out" every time.

    He should consider nullifying it with his tongue or toe position. Works every time: CLICKY


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,621 ✭✭✭yomchi


    Jesus, the amount of times i've been kicked on the arms and that's never happened.

    Maybe he hit his funny bone, cos that was hilarious :D

    If you want to know the details of how this very legitimate, totally real technique works, you can get his dvd for only £300. http://www.streetwarriorsclub.com/notouch/

    I know 300 quid might sound a bit steep, but think of it this way: You could get the dvd, learn the technique and then use it to win a whole bunch of big-league professional MMA, boxing and K1 fights. With the money you make from the fight purses, you'll pay back your initial investment a hundred fold. Not to mention the money you'll make from sponsorship deals.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,621 ✭✭✭yomchi


    You make it sound so convincing ;)

    I love how the "unconsciuos" guy BREAKS HIS FALL, rather than bouncing his head on the mats. Although it was quite courteous of the instructor to brush the dirt off his shoulders after having ben on the ground.

    I came a cross this a while ago, and I think this thread might be the perfect place for it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,188 ✭✭✭Doug Cartel


    I met one of the silat guy's disciples when I lived in Edinburgh.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,056 ✭✭✭cletus


    did you train with him Doug


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,188 ✭✭✭Doug Cartel


    I went to one class.

    We were doing this thing where you block a heymaker, then trap the arm and turn it into a chicken-wing hold. It was pretty complicated, but it seemed to be working for my partner and me. Then I decided to just duck the punch instead of blocking it. Lo and behold, my partner precoded to twist himself around as if I was doing the technique. Total autopilot.

    We also did some defences against a standing opponent when you're on the ground. It was a bunch of elaborate trips into subs/kill strikes, no time spent working on just getting up quickly while staying covered.

    LOL it's the same lad both times who is the willing victim.

    The power of the mind over the body is amazing to behold, and I odn't mean the "master's" mind, I mean the student's amazing ability to convince himself he's been KOed.

    Hmm, I sold my only cow recently for some magic beans. As soon as I get that golden goose, I'm off to buy the dvd.

    There were some Rick Clark seminars being advertised on here a while ago. He's one of George Dillman's guys, but I'm not sure how far down the rabbit hole he's gone.

    Na Rick left Dillman donkeys ago. Rick does the pressure points stuff that you have to hit. Even he says himself the no touch stuff is bull. I met him in '05.

    Well none of them have a patch on this guy...


    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEDaCIDvj6I


    strange thing is he lost his powers due to a curse hexed on him by a Japanese peasant women.

    At least that dude had the courage of of his convictions and he stood on the mat to prove it worked, turned out it didn't and he got his face bashed.

    I wonder would all the other 'no touch' guys have the courage to do that?

    Anyone up for a challenge? :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,163 ✭✭✭✭Boston


    His stuff looked pretty deadly in fairness. Some of the comments are interesting on the youtube, suggesting that his students believed so totally in chi that the Kiai master actually had control over them. It makes sense in a way.



    This angle is more clear. You see that the other fighter wanted to stop the fight and the initial attack but the Kiai master wanted to go on.

    I have been pushed by a tai chi chuan master, sifu peter young, felt like being punched in the stomach, was freeky, just put his hand about 6 inches from my chest and knocked me over with out touching me! all that about making them dance around has to be fake, i asked him to try it on me (politely) and he just did a bit of aikido.

    Wait what? He knocked you over without touching you?

    How did you end up meeting this guy, and what was your previous martial-arts experience?
