[quote=Mtripp;2306159]Ummm… not sure how to say this again. I will attempt this again.
While all the opinions about what you are looking at are interesting, unless someone else here has been certified by Juko-kai in Combat Ki, it seems to me only one of us has first hand, been there/done that have the T-shirt, experience on this subject. My certification papers have been posted here.
I have been to the camp, seen people take the test. I have seen people not get hurt. I have seem people act like they weren’t hurt, and in reality were seriously injured. I have seen others fail badly.
Some of these loony tunes actually believe they can not be choked out, or that if you try to cut them with your knife their ki will dull your blade. Obviously I disproved the first every chance I got.
Lacking real scientific testing of the claim, I can assure you he is NOT getting kicked in the testies; period. I wasn’t when I did it, and I am pretty sure no one else was who survived it. Some did not get things out of the way, and it was funny when they failed.
The simple truth is A) Most people do not hit as hard as they think they do. B) Most karate blows are not as “fatal” as myth has us believe, and C) Most people can take a bit of punishment.
It is more interesting to reflect on what kind of blows we are NOT seeing, rather then the ones we are.
But I can assure you, there is nothing mystic or martial about what you are seeing.[/quote]
Obviously it’s a trick, but how is the trick performed? I mean the kick lifts him off the ground and the only movement I can see him make is to slightly pidgin toe his feet to bring his knees in just seconds before impact. But it still looks like a square shot.
I’m not saying it’s useful for a fight or some kind of magic power, but it still a neat trick.
