ZeRo Posted January 25, 2003 Author Posted January 25, 2003 i thought that to but honestly check out a video on google or something, you will be amazed.
Iron Arahat Posted January 25, 2003 Posted January 25, 2003 I have seen the stuff before...I don't buy it. Martial Arts School http://www.shaolinwushu.cahttp://www.liveyyc.comCalgary Photographer: http://www.jdirom.com
ZeRo Posted January 25, 2003 Author Posted January 25, 2003 i find it hard to buy but im not completely sure if i dont buy it, i think im gonna have to ask my sensei to explain, and if im lucky get him to put me to sleep.
rb Posted January 26, 2003 Posted January 26, 2003 Don't some televangelists do this sorta thing too. I watched some videos and they reek of scam. I found it amusing how this site put the no touch ko with a whole bunch of gag vidoes. http://www.kyushoworld.net/index_files/page0005.htm Here's another one. http://www.kyushojitsutuite.com/knockouts.html
dkigirl Posted January 29, 2003 Posted January 29, 2003 Hey Zero.....since you are in SCJJ....why don't you send an email to Leon Jay and ask him about the no touch ko's....He has experience doing them also and is pretty easy to talk to. dki girl
Kirves Posted January 29, 2003 Posted January 29, 2003 I've seen it done many times and I was present when it was done to my friend. It seems to work, but it is not something you do in a fight. It is just a demonstration of how the theories of human body electricity work with the kyusho points.
Kirves Posted January 29, 2003 Posted January 29, 2003 does anyone know how these work? How it works is quite simple. The same points that are used with kyusho for hitting are activated. But instead of physical hit, they are activated with electricity. The human body is full of electricity, for example any move you make is created by the brain sending an electric current (a synapse) through the nervous conduits to the muscle(s), making the muscle(s) contract. That is also how the stupid AbTronic stuff they sell you on TV-Shop work: with electric current pumped into muscle. With some practice you can focus some electricity to some parts of your body. This is actually simpler than some make it feel, for instance, every time you move a muscle you do exactly that! You focus enough electric synapses to that muscle so it moves, it is mostly subconscious for a grown man. With training, it is possible to focus so much energy to some part of your body it can literally jump across some air if there's a proper conduit available. Everyone has seen this involuntarily (try rubbing your arm with a wool pullover for a few minutes, then go touch some metal - autch! You feel the sting of electricity.) The kyusho guys train to focus their electricity so it jumps from their body to that of the recipient and "strings" a proper kyusho point(s) so the points are activated. Does this help you in a street fight? Of course not. Does it prove something about kyusho points? Maybe? Does it make for good demos? Definitely!
