Martial arts experts, is this guy a hoax?

And do explain your reason. I don't want anyone just saying "it's impossible" simply because they don't know anything about the subject.

Answer 1

You are going from something you see on a Superman cartoon?

Yes anyone claiming to KO someone without touching them are hoaxes. Check out http://www.bullshido.com Also see all of the Yellow Bamboo types.

Check out the Amazing Rhandi's challenges against them.

It is possible to knock someone out without touching them directly. Like if say you were to throw a fastball at a guys head, technically you aren't touching them, the ball is. The same with other projectiles.

If you mean through Chi.. then no.

There isn't any scientific merit, nor can they ever conclusively prove they can do it on a non cooperating opponent or skeptic. Type in "Human Stun Gun" on youtube and see what happens when these guys get confronted.

Type in "Chi master vs. MMA"

Countless other videos of these guys getting debunked, and no evidence of them every being able to use it on someone who isn't one of their students.

"EDIT:" Yes the exact video shows what actually happens, (that Chicago Jiujitsu school also happens to have a MMA fighter Stephan Bonnar, who is one of the guys laughing about it).

Trust me, it is like cold reading or anything like that. They show a few tricks, and then the rest is just having people believe them. What happens when they come across a skeptic, they always have some reason why it doesn't work.. "Ohh, it only works on 70% of people" or "Oh he has natural Chi flow that makes it hard" or a variety of other reasons.

The simple fact is not a single person can prove it, or demonstrate it against people who aren't part of their circle. There is a 1 million dollar reward for being able to do so, and no one has yet to claim it.

This particular guy is a follower of George Dillman, who has been proven time and time again to be a fraud.

Answer 2

use a taser lol

Answer 3

no, it is possible to knock someone out without touching them with your mind, physical structure and the look in your eyes but you have to be very well learned in the art of martial arts.

Answer 4

I suppose if your breath is rancid enough you could...Other wise NO.

Answer 5

LUKE? Is that you son ?It's your dad DARTH.

No smart *** answers ?then don't ask dumb *** questions.

Answer 6

Not possible. In fact I think that guy was exposed by a journalist, who refused to 'go along' with this fantasy and could be knocked out. Those guys are always getting exposed. It's all pure BS, C'mon you know it.

Answer 7

lol at red.

You can by having really bad breath.

Answer 8

Yeah, get someoen else to knock them out...

Answer 9

r u an idiot? r u telekinetic?

Answer 10

NO, there has to be some sort of physical contact....

Answer 11

no

Answer 12

its a con. notice it only works on his students.the mind is a powful thing and if you believe something hard enough it will happen. just like making your self sick to get out of doing something

Answer 13

he couldn't prove it when he went to the jujitsu school. and what i really love about yall martial arts people is that yall give me a great idea.... make a tv show about karate, bbj, and tkd black belts and any other so called master. i'll call the show "pillow fighting for the straight guy".  

Answer 14

You are kidding right?

Believe this I have a bridge to sell you.It is heavily traveled and You can recoup the million bucks in one day. Just show me the cash (no checks please) and it is yours.

These guys are a hoax and have been taking in the great unwashed for years now. These guys say the reason it won't work on us is because we don't believe it can work. That helps a lot in a street fight LOL....

Answer 15

Yea it's possible, just throw something that's really big, and hard.

Answer 16

Sure thing.

You have to master "the force" though, so you either become a Jedi, or a Sith.

good luck!

Answer 17

No it is not possible, and I would hazard a guess that nay high ranking "traditional" artist that posts here will tell you the same thing.

Answer 18

takes years of qigong/kigong/sanchin  breathing to achieve this. ki or qi is your internal energy and tai chi,bagua,xingyi,liu he ba fa, and qigong all cultivate chi. i have seen first hand the feat of the using qi to knock someone out/down done by a grandmaster on a fellow grand master as part of a demo. then it was done to me. it's nothing painful unless lots of qi is put into it but there would be no use in that because the qi user would be exhausted. most people see this as B.S. and probably will see my answer as B.S. too but they've never experienced so they wouldn't know, that's why they all gave sarcastic answers.

Answer 19

george dillman promotes this bs too.

why don't you watch carefully when the folks at national geographic got a hold of him.

do you still think its possible?

check out yellow bamboo on youtube as well.  

no touch ko is bull.

in addition to this there have been a number of "million dollar" type of challenges where if someone can prove against a non-student in a controlled environment that they can do this or a number of other supernatural claims- they will get a million dollars, or whatever lesser contest there is- I think there is a 2000 or 5000 contest on youtube.

no one has collected on any of them....

no touch ko's are pure bullshido.

anyone who promotes them is a fraud.
