Rich_2k3 Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 "Combat Ki", Has anyone heard of this martial art, I saw it on a documentry on Discovery not long ago, I think theres just one big dojo, so there arent many that do it. Well they were doing really painful things for example: They blind fold you, this creates fear cuz u dont know when its gonna hit, anyway the sensei stands there and suddenly full contact reverse punches you in the neck, as hard as he can, but the ppl can take it, they said that they do things that would normally kill the average person. I watched them doing body condition and they were kicking in the groin, stading flat agasint a wall and them being punched in the heart at full contact, these were just normal men and women, they werent big or muscular, its apparently a mental thing cuz it focus greatly on the "Ki" aspect of Karate, it was crazy! did anyone watch it? or knows what it is?

equaninimus Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 Ahhh.."Dr." Rod and his junko kai. What a group of losers and charlatans! If you do even a brief web search you will find that they are not legitamate. Old Roddy has been run out of three states, falsely claimed rank in gods only know how many organizations, and been zapped for fraud and embezzlement by two juries.

equaninimus Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 This site has details of the slander suit he filed against Don Cunningham and Jeff Boler. The suit was dismissed. The evidence submitted by "Dr. Ron in his own defence seems to have gotten the case dismissed. I especially liked how he made a mistake in Kanji interepretetion. Seems that instead of the Kanji for "truth" in Seidokan, he used one that means "sexual." Oops! http://www.e-budokai.com/jukokai/libel.htm Here's a site that talks about his diploma mill, "The College of Oriental Philosophy."

Hoju Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 Apart from the apparent legal and ethical issues though, has anybody actually seen this stuff in action? I mean, I would think that some of the blows, even if you are completely in a state of "mind-over-matter" could still do some serious & permanent damage.

equaninimus Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 Well, if its the show I'm thinking of, several things were apparrent. First: Before anyone took any sort of technique, they huffed and puffed like the big bad wolf. I don't know of may attackers who will let you "get ready" before they attack. Groin shots: One person at the test obviously did the technique incorectly ,and did the stiff legged waddle away from the station. The others seemed to be standing with thteir thighs close enough together that they were trapping the kick before it hit their groins. The woman who was being profiled actually got knocked out at the chest punch station. She denied it, but it was pretty obvious. Throat punches: I've seen Uechi-ryu people take blows to the throat, etc, after tensing the trapezii, sternocleidomastoids, etc...Again, they huffed and puffed , they called it "ki-ing up," before hand. I would question the efficacy of the techniqe for self defence. Maybe a mugger would run away thinking you are crazy, or laugh himself to death (good options, in my book!), but I don't see this as a valid practice, or a valid group.

Rich_2k3 Posted January 18, 2004 Author Share Posted January 18, 2004 Wow, i've never heard of this guy or any of the lawsuits filed agaisnt him, I suppose it was big news over there at one point, I probably wasnt into martial arts when it happend so I wouldnt have taken any interest. He should be banned in the practice of any martial art style, if he's gonna bring the sport (can i call it that) into disripute .

equaninimus Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 Never was "big news."He is, obviously. still active. The MA world here in the US tends to facilitate scams like this.
