  1. no..... probably, it may however be true that they bas a tiny bit of the style on something real, after all they have to know how the body works to make realistic looking bodies as the preform moves, like in video games my brother works on for graphic design, although the moves are quite exaggerated, they come from real people in body suits preforming martial arts...although for cartoons i doubt they do ANYTHING like that


  2. Actually it is.  It's based off of a fighting style that uses pressure points instead of the "chakra points" that is made up in Naruto to cause internal bleeding, break bones, etc.  I saw it on Human Weapon one day.  I think the sensei called it something like Kyusho.

  3. Yes. It's actual name is 柔拳, or the soft/gentle fist. It's originally an ancient Chinese style of Martial arts. It's derived on Taoist mysticism and the "Bagua" or eight symbols concept. Hence why all of Neiji's techniques are multiples of 8. The style is basically on a flexible and natural use of motion  which maximizes momentum, and in turn, power. The chakra points are similar to the "XueDao" or the Blood Paths on one's body. Acupunctures claims to open these blood paths on your body.  

    Here is a video clip of the "real" version, although it's much slower b/c old people use it as exercise.

    Now, this is typically what is said. And the details can get a lot more complicated. But keep in mind a lot of this maybe just mysticism like everyone say it is. Believe if you want, and look it up yourself or open a new question if you want to know more.

  4. i doubt it is a real technique because that style uses chakra to attack vital organs and in real life we dont have chakra

  5. No. Naruto is a cartoon and anything presented in it will be wildly exaggeratted at best.

  6. No, its just a cartoon and poking someone all over their body is as effective as flicking them in the face. You would have to hit pretty hard to affect their internal organs.
