What is the name of this show? I want to see the part where the guy is cutting a cucumber with a knife on his forearm without cutting the skin. They show a brief sequence of this at the end of the video.

Evening,
Great post and I thought I’d add another comment. I love fitness and fighting stuff.

Its an interesting topic and should be discussed. Ill check back soon for any added comments, thanks.

It would be great to get this thread really active again!

I have trained hard in the past with running etc in thew army but I have to say combining Q10 and sparring gets the best results.

ALso with the latest in mdeical science and wholistic techniques I would not be supprised if life expectancy rose to 90+ years in the modern world.

In Ninjutsu, there is a move called a “Hammer Fist”, which is, as its name suggests, a fist delivered in a hammer-like motion to what I believe is the lower solar plexus. In the National Geographic show “Fight Science”, the guest Ninjustsu practitioner managed to achive a body damage number (Viscous Criterion) of 0.9. 1.0 is instantaneously lethal. Although it sounds impressive, in reality this is basically a CPR taken to extremes, used to stop a heart rather than start it back again.

As I understand it, Dim Mak involves attacking blood-flow / air-flow / nervous system. Of the pressure points illustrated in the photos above, only a handful of these are potentially lethal from a single strike. The art of Dim Mak is to attack the points in specific combinations – e.g. a first strike may cause trauma to the liver, the second to the artery leading TO the liver, located in the armpit – entirely fictional! :¬). The compound effect is that the liver ruptures, or a blood-clot is formed, causing immediate or delayed death. It requires an understanding of the ‘body-map’ and having the learned ability to deliver the strikes effectively (years of practice).

Yes, that Batman episode was awesome, I think they called it the onimari touch…not sure if spelled correctly…too lazy to research…so tired…

I’ve been studying martial arts for a while now, and from what I’ve seen; pressure points, acupuncture, lap dances, and that technique of placing empty bottles on one’s back after sucking out the O2 with fire, really work in most cases. Not all pressure points work on everybody, but if delivered by a master, you usually fall down; now, if that’s from pure fear of your master, then so be it, but the first time I felt a pressure point exposed by a master…holy…SH*T.

I have been practicing martial arts for going on 7 years now and while I have never seen this skill as they put it here, any accomplished/advanced martial artists know that there are ways to attack the chi and to use chi to attack with. You actually do see this in MMA well as in other sports but its not well understood and takes many years to use properly. How many times have we seen a fighter drop after a seemingly light blow? I have been hit and have hit others with similar strikes and caused severe pain with a simple touch strike. It exists, just not like in the movies.

Count Dante used to be into that. Remember his ads from the old comic books?

am I the only one who first hear about this in an episode of Batman: the Animated Series?
there was a ninja involved… I think the climax took place on an erupting volcano…
That was a cool show.what were we talking about?

I remember that episode, it was actually the second (and if I remember correctly) last appearance of Kyodai (voiced by Robert Ito, the professor in Buckaroo Bonzai)

Also, wasn’t that National Geographic special the one where they had that story of the master who broke the punk’s back through his stomache in some resturant?
