No... they just whacked him again at the end and he went down like a sack of spuds whilst they all laughed.

A little?

Hard to say unless we know what art it is and what he is teaching as well as the long term effects.

If it is a nerve surge like getting hit in the side of the jaw if you have a 'glass jaw' then there is no long term effect you just have your lights switched off. I am sure we have all been there. Well those of us who have studied the arts.

This looks like it may be Krav maga but I couldn't say.

Anyone else know more on this?

response 1 :-
Every few months I check back with this posting to see if people are still falling for this nonsense.Apparently the answer is yes.If this were possible every soldier, police officer and Ultimate Fighter would be using it.They don't because this is nonsense.Use common sense.There is no magic "touch" only hard training and practice and real study on pressure points.This guy falls to the floor like he got tazzered.Pressure points don't work like that.

the other response of note:-
You can see the same thing at any Pentecostal Sunday Service. It's called "slain in the spirit", no martial arts.

Well I have been hit in the jaw when kick boxing and gone immediately lights out waking up about 1 ft from the ground. I know pressure points do exist and of course you only have to see boxing to see it or be familiar with boxing to know about it. A neck strike can have a similar effect.

Whether what we are seeing here is real I could not say.

A lot of people are quite offended by things like this. Not that people practise things like this, but that it is of no use to anyone wanting to learn a self defence or a practical fighting technique.

I'll try and find a couple of clips of 'martial artists' trying to show things like pressure points. There's one guy who claims to be able to shut your brain down with one touch. All of his students collapse when he touches them. Then they take him to a Brazillian Jiu Jitsu class and he trys that rubbish on them. Nothing happens.

There's another clip of some 'yellow lotus' practitioners practising on a beach and challenging a brazillian jiu jitsu practitioner of no great skill to touch him. He double leg take downs the lotus flower guy and arm bars him.
