"yeah but when you hit me there it dont hurt!"

[younwhagrl]

well..it was funny for a moment...maybe

[Anbu Alex]

sometimes techs that dont hurt arent ment for hurting a person they can be used to open up the opponents defense

[Hudson]

Didn't Gichin Funakoshi comment on strikes that while not causing the most immediate response would eventually lead to the opponent having severe problems/death in the future?

I'm assuming you refer to strikes delivered with the intent of cousing pain or injury. If it was a distraction, then it may have been effective, but then such a comment really wouldn't appy, because you just followed up with something else. If, then, the strike didn't hurt, it was innefective. If the guy is on drugs, or an adrenaline rush, or is just too freaking tough for it to hurt, then you should be moving on to techniques that disable the opponet without being required to hurt them, such as throws, holds, and chokes. If you him, and it hurts the next day, then it does you now good during the fight, when it counts, so it would still be considered ineffective.

I have seen multiple situations where a person has sustained an injury and, as mentioned, d/t adrenalin they don't feel it immediately. The other case is if pain from another, possibly lesser injury, can mask the more severe injury. In either case, just because they didn't feel it initially it doesn't mean the damage was not done.

True, the damage may have been done, and they may feel the effects of it later, but what good does that do you? Unless the context of your fight is a war, your goal isn't physical damage itself, but, rather, the imediate effects of the damage done. If their liver is injured, and they require a trip to the hospital the next day, you might still be dead. The blow had an effect, but unless that effect occured during the fight, it was still ineffective.

well for me I would do a weak punch like a backfist, but then follow it up with a reverse punch or something of that sort.

Situations and strikes vary. But many things remain possible during combative moments.

Just a thought, during adrenaline rush people do not feel being shot or stabbed, but they are still bleeding out! What do you think of this?

Adrenaline rush doesn't last very long. If they take something severe like a stab or a bullet, they will feel it during the fight, unless there was some serious nerve damage done. something lesser, like a cut, they may not feel.
