These are fake...the instructor keeps hitting the side of the neck because the vagus nerve is a knockout point if you hit it hard enough. It's nothing to do with pressure points. When they can't find someone who believes that it will work on them with other pressure point combinations, they can resort to hitting the vagus as part of a combination everytime, because if they try hard enough, it can knock you out.
i love it when these so called chi masters get debunked and this vid highlights the frauds. i do belive pressure points do work but you have to have trained in there use for years and they are such a small area on the body that you need to target them with incredible preciceion (like that of a nuro surgeon)
@Tovash I'm not so sure about "Dimmak", but the pressure points our Dojo utilizes are very much real, and have the activation area about the size of a quarter.
i love this video so much! how many times have we seen comments on youtube, "just come to my dojo and have my instructor do it to you! then you will know its real!!" haha. thank you so much for going, because no one ever wants to go to those lame seminars just to prove the point that we already know that this stuff is soooo fake! thank you!
internal energy is true. but to be able to extend it beyond the physical body is false. i personally dont believe in energy meridans. i just got two books on dim mak from paladin press and sent them back cause it was total garbage. to me the whole body is energy. we all feel when we are tired or full of energy. this is fact. but its also very physical. i been doing zazen for nearly twnety years now and martial arts the same. gracie and jeet kune do. i find these to be the only valuable arts.
i went to one similar where he did this move on a few of us. we all stood there. he then said he would try something diff... he came up behind me and said " does this smell like chloroform"
thanks for this, a powerful demonstration of the power of suggestion, and the power of BS martial arts. There's too many good and effective ways to hurt an attacker to dedicate your life and delude others to those which demonstrably don't work.
A well executed neck strike can result in a knockout, but this isn't magic. Real pressure point striking is effective, because it's about attacking nerve bundles and major blood vessels that have a scientifically studied and measured effect.
The magic kyusho-jutsu one-touch knockout crowd is just perpetuating more martial arts hucksterism.
the students have to believe they paid for it ( $60 a week) and now they are helping their teacher to advertise the dojo with some bullshit technique,the guys know if more people come in they will be promoted so as to get black belts quicker putting their lives in danger when it comes to real fights,all for the love of money and power...the fault with capitalism i think no wonder communist countries have better fighters e.g fedor emelianenko from russia
I was just like u thought it was ass but those punches hurt and me and my neighbor dont believe any of this chi bullshit. I dont believe in their internal energy either but what they do is they do what i describe as a knuckle punch and it just goes right to the bone...
they don't work if you don't believe. It's no different than going to those BS church healings when they bop you on the head and people pass out. Everyone there knows what to expect and more importantly everyone there believes.
I went to one of these seminars a while back too. Not only did the pressure points not work, when I stood there and took them. The students also sucked at sparring, and showed that given the situation (sparring) they couldn't even get them in. This is just mass hypnosis. They told me I wasn't ready to accept it or something, and that I know how to nullify it, after that I was told to leave and the seminar continued... without my refund.
Pressure points vary from person to person. Time of day, stress-level, and mood are also factors. We all do have some general areas in common, but they aren't dependable 100% of time.
weird how only the students of the masters and the masters themselves seem to be vunerable to these pressure point ko's and non-touch energy ko's. But news reporter ladies and pretty much anyone who doesnt train in the art themselves are not affected. funny that.
Here's the thing with pressure points, most of the time the people who are being the demonstration dummy are really relaxed, no adrenaline going, and then get hit in a soft area. It kinda naturally follows that they can feel woozy/in pain after it.
Sure there's such thing as pressure points, but they aren't magical buttons. They are just areas a little more vulnerable to being hit. You still gotta HIT them.
MMA Rules do not allow pressure point attack, joint manipulation (other than an arm bar) and anything else you'd do in real life on the street. Just read them! So much for "reality".

One time my chi just fucking blew out of control, exploding right out of my meridians. I knocked an entire subway unconscious with my putred aura. Then I gained a level and the shit REALLY hit the fan for those guardians nearby...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
The reason this technique works, because by hitting the front of the throat and then the base of the back. You throw off your opponents energy (chi) and that is why this happens.
i dont quite get how someone can be "immune" to pressure points...that's like saying "im immune to being choked to death" or "stabbing me wont do you any good! It cant hurt me!" can someone please explain this to me without invoking some mystical power?
most people that are "immune" are just more ignorant people like most you see on here claiming it doesnt work. in actuality probably noone is immune. if as many people are immune as claim to be then this style wouldnt have been created in the first place.
also i see nothing on here that anyone is immune. you cant even hear what they are saying. he could just be showing the technique and not actually doing it(which he wouldnt be if he was trying to teach it)
I wish someone would post a video of someone hitting back after the tuite/dim mak/PP hit that fails! Now that would be funny. Hey, it's only fair, you take a shot, I counter. Sounds like MA to me.
they only work on 70% of the population, those aren't good enough odds for me,to base any self defense on, namely because i am emune to pressure point attacks,and chances are you would have to fight someone like me who doesn't feel them...then your screwed if you cant fight..
MY PRESSURE POINT SYSTEM ALWAYS WORKS!!! #1THE SOLERPLEXES!!#2 THE THROUT! #3 THE EYES! #4 THE BALLS! sighn a releas form and i will gladly test them on you!
Reading through the comments, I've noticed a lot of people seem to be confusing the term "pressure points" for "touchless KO's with invisible hadoken chi fireballs"
Pressure pointing is striking or pinching a nerve cluster- Just a simple application of anatomical knowledge.
Chi balls, on the other hand, that's more of the realm of metaphysics & Street Fighter II than practical martial arts.
The instructor in the video is trying to teach one of the more impractical and difficult pressure points. Much better targets are the nerve clusters near each armpit, the ones around the nose, temples, the thoracic band on the outer thigh, the groin, the front of the neck, and the backs of the knees. I wouldn't even worry about precision with those targets, just strike as hard and as fast as you can and while you might not get a magical KO, you'll do some damage.
well, i guess getting kicked in the groin or punched in the throat are "pressure points"...so, then why would you ever need to pay money to learn this? isnt that self-evident?
Good for you dude. In man's eternal quest to be a badass without actually having to be a badass we now have chi ball's and pressure point knockouts. Oh yeah....and aikido.
You know,I think Aikido can actualy be helpful if youre a police officer or something like that,wristlocks and stuff can be good at times..I know some guys who can do Aikido locks from the guard,thats pretty cool.
true - i remember rolling in jiu-jitsu class before with some guy who had an aikido background before bjj - he wristlocked the shit out of me when i wasn't expecting it.. he was a purple belt in bjj too though, so his guard work and control of my posture allowed him to do it.
true.. or wrestling or judo.. anything that's trained in an honest sparring environment where you don't pretend like you should have to do something for your partner is the best way to train. i don't care what art it is, if you train it in a resistance environment - then it will only get better.
Like most things in life, martial arts also have their bad side. Sidenote: Always and I mean ALWAYS suspect a martial arts instructor that does not dress like his students. It seems stupid I know, but that says a lot about the guy, namely he's showing off and stating he's different, superior. That contradicts 99% of all martial arts and if he didn't get that right, odds are he's a phony
Dude this stuff totally works. You must have Situs Inversus Dextrocardia. Its the same reason Kenshiro's Hokuto Shinken didn't work on Souther. Your head would have simply exploded under normal circumstances.
Seriously, the main reason I think this stuff doesn't work is that MMA vs Kiai Master vid that's been going around. Also, just some common sense. The only ways (I know of) to hurt someone without touching them are to throw or shoot something at them.
Do you know what Situs Inversus Dextrocardia is? Cause your not using it right...rofl. Pressure points are complicated. SOme pressure points don't work on certain people and on the other hand where one won't work another will triple. The meridian in the forarm between the two muscles; doesn't work. But, the pressure point under the neck (nerve under the jaw) is a sucker!!
If I find some studies in Scientific American or a medical journal I'll let you know. However all I find now is "scientific studies" mentioned on sites trying to sell DVDs.
I did find something about a 109 year old man in China who practiced Tai Chi everyday, but the health effects of Tai Chi have been well known for several years now.
Also, I know what Situs Inversus Dextrocardia is. It just seems you either ignore or just don't know the humorous context I used it in. Oh yeah...rofl.
I thought SID was a lung issue? Maybe im wrong I don't know. The Chinese apparently found a lot of 'stuff' before most other cultures. In the modern age, there behind rofl.
a heat detector detects HEAT. Just as an electrical sensor detects ELECTRICITY - neither heat nor electricity can be projected from the body to achieve these feats. They aren't the "chi" being posited by these frauds.
Instructors where the same style of uniform as their students but wearing a different colored Gi top isn't about superiority it's to identify them as an instructor.
"isn't about superiority it's to identify them as an instructor."
You have just agreed with me. An instructor does not need anything to identify him as such. A different sash/belt is ok as it as a meaning in martial arts (coming full circle), but not a different gi. An instructor must see himself as he sees his students, because he IS A STUDENT of somebody else, even if his sensei is now dead. A master can be considered as such by his students, but he should never consider himself a master.
Instructors have different colord Gi tops to identify themselves as instructors to the students or outside parties who wish to become students. They simply mean that that person is an instructor. They're belts signify whether or not they are acknowledged as masters or not.
Personally my sensei doesn't act fullhardy and egotistic. He acknowledges that no matter how much you learn your still just scraping the tip of the ice berg.
I understand nerve clusters, and how punching people in the solar plexus, knocks the wind out of them... but what is this nonsense? I thought pressure points were legitimate nerve clusters you punched, or dug your fingers into. This guy is practicing some Crouching Tiger nonsense.
simply put id put my faith in grappling in a contest, punching and low kicks in a street fight, and pressure points, tai chi etc if some dude was grabbing or pushing me in a bar. Different strokes for different folks!
the problem with training pressure points is that many people rely on them for the full defence. as in they hit or press on them expecting them to drop the attacker without any thought or training on what to do if they don't do this?
which is why they should be built into a defence where they are the cherry on top. this then means that you do not rely on the point to fully work. but if it does then your job is much easier, if it does not then you have the rest of the defence to continue with.
Thats exactly right. You should look into modern arnis. Its a great system to blend pressure points in. What you do is learn empty hand, stick, knife, grappling, throws, chokes, and locks to control your oppenent and aim at that pressure point.
This is just some guys practicing Akido. Not one word of dialogue can be over-head. What is this supposed to prove to us? If you are in a grappling situation and you apply only slight pressure with your finger to strategic spots of a person's neck or other body parts, the extreme pain inflicted on your opponent can make them loosen their hold on you, allowing you to maneuver into a position that is more advantageous for you. Ignore at your peril.
It isnt aikido, its ryuKyu kenpo, wich is a George Dillman style, and it didnt work, becease he said he could ko me, besides, pressure points in grappling is something differend,because youre having controle over youre oppenent, and stil I have never seen someone win a fight by using pressure points,only causing pain, and in my experience its childish to use those tricks, beceause you should not need them in grappling, not a single grappling superstar ever uses stupid pain manipulation tricks.
I manipulate chi all the time... the chi in my PANTS, lol amirite?!
Seriously though, I honestly can't believe how grown men and women believe this fairy tale pressure point stuff. A person's body does not have "meridians" and you cannot manipulate their internal energy or whatever people want to call it.
Seriously, search for some of the videos by Jack Hogan that show his "Care Bear Stare" knockout if you want to know just how ridiculous this stuff can get.
lol you guys I studied Tai Quan Do for almost 5 years and you should stick your arm straight out and take your thumb and press down as hard as you can on the inside of your arm where it bends and then say that pressure points don't work.
Im so happy that others arent buying into this shit, what a total WANKER selling himself as some kind of magic Ninja, no touch knockouts and the rest of this crap really pisses me off, work hard develop power then KO someone.
Christ ... if you need karate to teach you how to hit a guy in the neck, you are hopeless. "Pressure points," my ass. Hit a vulnerable spot on someone's body hard enough, and it'll hurt. Nothing magical ("chi") about that. Hit a dude as hard as you can in the throat.
I must say do, a blow on the neck does make you wobble,altough this has little to do with chi flows, stil, knocking someone out isnt that easy as mere poking, i've bin knee'd on the back of my head and I stil didnt go KO.
The stuf on this video is BS. Weather or not "pressure points" work depends on how you define a pressure point. Is punching someone on the chin or temple pressure point fighting? Cause if so it works great, and boxers are the best in the world at it. But if a "pressure point" is a place, or group of places, that you can touch or poke to knock someone out, than pressuer points or complete BS.
Sometimes pressure point techniques work and sometimes they don't. I've been knocked out many times and people have tried and failed many times. I've knocked several people out and failed many more times... it's all about learning
ok, well to respond to you lot, preassure points do work, and he didnt miss the point at all, he hit it dead on, some people however dont respond to preassure points, its reeeeli rare, but it does happen. Im a pretty short 17 year old guy, and i can take down guys twice my size with preassure points...
You can take down guys twice your size who are also your training partners. Try it on someone outside your stupid school and, guess what??? Suddenly, those of us who have no response whatsoever to pressure point bullshit suddenly multiply and no longer seem to rare. It's bullshit dude, give it up.
pressure points have science in them. pressing certain points will stop blood flow to a certain vital organ and sometimes make you pass out. do some research before saying anything.
Umm, pressure points have science to them? Please explain the science. Moron, choking someone out by compressing a major vein, artery, or the windpipe is not what is advocated in this bullshit video. Manipulating "pressure points" in a real fight by punches/kicks just isn't going to work for you. Sure, you can choke someone out, but that isn't the bullshit "pressure point" technique you idiot CMA and other mystics believe in. You should do us all a favor and choke yourself out.
Have you ever seen someone knocked out by pressure points? It's really scary. You should go to some place where they have pressure point self defense and piss them off. Now come back and laugh in my face. PS: I think martial arts are more of an art, not a method of self defense (just my opinion though. I think for self defense you need the Israeli stuff)
that is an absolute crock . Every demonstration ever give to some outside has failed ... the chemist , the news lady .Always some lame excuse about toungue in teh wrong position or big toe up .. or they are non believers or it doesn't work on athletes .. It's bullshit.
More chinese peasant superstition. When are people going to realize it's all fake? Try using your pressure point theory in a fight; you'll be meeting the emergency room. You can always tell a martial arts fraud because they always were flashy, silly looking uniforms. Total fags.
You can use it in a real fight with practice. You need to know what you are doing. Everytime I watch mma, kickboxing, or boxing, when a person gets rocked or knocked out its because their openite in a pressure point, but they dont know it.
the uniforms are traditional actaully....ive trained with preassure points, and i can tell you the ins and outs of them, the chap in that video is one of the few lucky fecks who arent effected by preassure points. I invite you to go to your nearest martial arts gym, stand in front of the master and say 'preassure points are a load of shit, youre a fucking fag' youll most probably wake up 5 minutes later wondering what the fuck happened, at least you would if you did it in my gym...
You're a fucking fool then if you believe that. It's always the same excuse; "oh pressure points didn't work on this guy because he was immune", or "my kiai powers didn't work because his toes were crossed". Sorry fuckers, not going to work in a real fight, but keep practicing it. That way you're much easier to beat.
I agree. These kids can be so stupid, believing in such ridiculous things. I bet they would also believe that they can throw fireballs from their hands if their instructor told them so....
There are people that arent sensentive to preasure points but they arent lucky. Something is wrong with their body and it will show effects latter on in life. As for the guy in the video he might just not be effective by fire points. The spot were the guy hit him was a fire point. There are 5 different body types and he looks like a wood person as am I. And fire poits dont work to well on me as well.
You're a "wood" person arnis7788? I would take you more for a "stone" person, that would explain why you are dumb as a rock. This is all fraud; nothing but cheap con man fraud. Have fun wasting your money on it.
Your an idiot. Pressure points work, the first time he hit you you wobbled and that was a lite hit. If he would of hit you harder you would of droped. If you want some good pressure point techniqes go see George Dillman or Ken Smith.
hmm...i'm sure that guy didn't have enough experience and his students were probably putting on a little show, but it takes yeaaaaaaars of practice to put that into acutal play. I mean, if it takes certain amounts of pressure on certain points in a combonation, wouldn't it be a tad bit hard to execute?
Pressure points may work, but they have three things going against them:
1. They have never worked on me, or anyone I consider an objective observer
2. There is really no sound physical basis for them to acheive the effects they are supposed to.
3. Many people appear to have formed "make-believe" societies who support each other's delusions. They even make up official-sounding names like "H5N2".
yes they do, ok none of ths shit dillman says about touchless ko's but there are still areas of the body where if ur hit it hurts enough to drop you, ie the temple
Of course the problem is that it is a strike dependant on an individual's physiology. Some people are less sensitive in certain areas than others. Just a quirk of nature. Generally speaking a brachial strike works on about 80-90 percent of the population. Jus' consider yourself fortunate that you aren't one of them. Big advantage ^_^
no they only work on Nerds with no resistance to anything.. And what wrong with being gay? You atack people on their sexuel preferences? how immature :P
haha u r gay lets point and alaugh and pressure points do work even on the toughest of people ive tryed ive never ko.ed some one but i have taken them down
What fucking evidence you smacktard? The only evidence out there is that IT DOES NOT WORK! Fucking fool! Having some con man fraud DEMO the bullshit on his hippy ball sack hugging brainwashed students DOES NOT provide evidence of anything other than the absolute stupidity of the students. 1000 bucks to you to come knock me out with your fucking touchless "chi" strike or your pressure point strike. If you don't, I get one free hit at full force to your face you fucking stooge.

The reason this technique works, because by hitting the front of the throat and then the base of the back. You throw off your opponents energy (chi) and that is why this happens.

i dont quite get how someone can be "immune" to pressure points...that's like saying "im immune to being choked to death" or "stabbing me wont do you any good! It cant hurt me!" can someone please explain this to me without invoking some mystical power?
silverwrestler1000 3 years ago
most people that are "immune" are just more ignorant people like most you see on here claiming it doesnt work. in actuality probably noone is immune. if as many people are immune as claim to be then this style wouldnt have been created in the first place.

also i see nothing on here that anyone is immune. you cant even hear what they are saying. he could just be showing the technique and not actually doing it(which he wouldnt be if he was trying to teach it)

Reading through the comments, I've noticed a lot of people seem to be confusing the term "pressure points" for "touchless KO's with invisible hadoken chi fireballs"
Pressure pointing is striking or pinching a nerve cluster- Just a simple application of anatomical knowledge.
Chi balls, on the other hand, that's more of the realm of metaphysics & Street Fighter II than practical martial arts.
balletman 4 years ago 2
The instructor in the video is trying to teach one of the more impractical and difficult pressure points. Much better targets are the nerve clusters near each armpit, the ones around the nose, temples, the thoracic band on the outer thigh, the groin, the front of the neck, and the backs of the knees. I wouldn't even worry about precision with those targets, just strike as hard and as fast as you can and while you might not get a magical KO, you'll do some damage.
balletman 4 years ago 3
well, i guess getting kicked in the groin or punched in the throat are "pressure points"...so, then why would you ever need to pay money to learn this? isnt that self-evident?

true - i remember rolling in jiu-jitsu class before with some guy who had an aikido background before bjj - he wristlocked the shit out of me when i wasn't expecting it.. he was a purple belt in bjj too though, so his guard work and control of my posture allowed him to do it.

Like most things in life, martial arts also have their bad side. Sidenote: Always and I mean ALWAYS suspect a martial arts instructor that does not dress like his students. It seems stupid I know, but that says a lot about the guy, namely he's showing off and stating he's different, superior. That contradicts 99% of all martial arts and if he didn't get that right, odds are he's a phony

Dude this stuff totally works. You must have Situs Inversus Dextrocardia. Its the same reason Kenshiro's Hokuto Shinken didn't work on Souther. Your head would have simply exploded under normal circumstances.
Seriously, the main reason I think this stuff doesn't work is that MMA vs Kiai Master vid that's been going around. Also, just some common sense. The only ways (I know of) to hurt someone without touching them are to throw or shoot something at them.
seraphim123 4 years ago
Do you know what Situs Inversus Dextrocardia is? Cause your not using it right...rofl. Pressure points are complicated. SOme pressure points don't work on certain people and on the other hand where one won't work another will triple. The meridian in the forarm between the two muscles; doesn't work. But, the pressure point under the neck (nerve under the jaw) is a sucker!!

Instructors where the same style of uniform as their students but wearing a different colored Gi top isn't about superiority it's to identify them as an instructor.
BlossomingKitsune 3 years ago
"isn't about superiority it's to identify them as an instructor."
You have just agreed with me. An instructor does not need anything to identify him as such. A different sash/belt is ok as it as a meaning in martial arts (coming full circle), but not a different gi. An instructor must see himself as he sees his students, because he IS A STUDENT of somebody else, even if his sensei is now dead. A master can be considered as such by his students, but he should never consider himself a master.
goma3 3 years ago 4
Instructors have different colord Gi tops to identify themselves as instructors to the students or outside parties who wish to become students. They simply mean that that person is an instructor. They're belts signify whether or not they are acknowledged as masters or not.
Personally my sensei doesn't act fullhardy and egotistic. He acknowledges that no matter how much you learn your still just scraping the tip of the ice berg.
He even says that he is a perpetual student.

simonbullows 4 years ago
the problem with training pressure points is that many people rely on them for the full defence. as in they hit or press on them expecting them to drop the attacker without any thought or training on what to do if they don't do this?
which is why they should be built into a defence where they are the cherry on top. this then means that you do not rely on the point to fully work. but if it does then your job is much easier, if it does not then you have the rest of the defence to continue with.
jungshin 4 years ago
Thats exactly right. You should look into modern arnis. Its a great system to blend pressure points in. What you do is learn empty hand, stick, knife, grappling, throws, chokes, and locks to control your oppenent and aim at that pressure point.
Arnis7788 4 years ago
This is just some guys practicing Akido. Not one word of dialogue can be over-head. What is this supposed to prove to us? If you are in a grappling situation and you apply only slight pressure with your finger to strategic spots of a person's neck or other body parts, the extreme pain inflicted on your opponent can make them loosen their hold on you, allowing you to maneuver into a position that is more advantageous for you. Ignore at your peril.
rumpelstiltskin2112 4 years ago
It isnt aikido, its ryuKyu kenpo, wich is a George Dillman style, and it didnt work, becease he said he could ko me, besides, pressure points in grappling is something differend,because youre having controle over youre oppenent, and stil I have never seen someone win a fight by using pressure points,only causing pain, and in my experience its childish to use those tricks, beceause you should not need them in grappling, not a single grappling superstar ever uses stupid pain manipulation tricks.

Christ ... if you need karate to teach you how to hit a guy in the neck, you are hopeless. "Pressure points," my ass. Hit a vulnerable spot on someone's body hard enough, and it'll hurt. Nothing magical ("chi") about that. Hit a dude as hard as you can in the throat.

The stuf on this video is BS. Weather or not "pressure points" work depends on how you define a pressure point. Is punching someone on the chin or temple pressure point fighting? Cause if so it works great, and boxers are the best in the world at it. But if a "pressure point" is a place, or group of places, that you can touch or poke to knock someone out, than pressuer points or complete BS.

pressure points have science in them. pressing certain points will stop blood flow to a certain vital organ and sometimes make you pass out. do some research before saying anything.

Umm, pressure points have science to them? Please explain the science. Moron, choking someone out by compressing a major vein, artery, or the windpipe is not what is advocated in this bullshit video. Manipulating "pressure points" in a real fight by punches/kicks just isn't going to work for you. Sure, you can choke someone out, but that isn't the bullshit "pressure point" technique you idiot CMA and other mystics believe in. You should do us all a favor and choke yourself out.

Have you ever seen someone knocked out by pressure points? It's really scary. You should go to some place where they have pressure point self defense and piss them off.

Pressure points may work, but they have three things going against them:
1. They have never worked on me, or anyone I consider an objective observer
2. There is really no sound physical basis for them to acheive the effects they are supposed to.
3. Many people appear to have formed "make-believe" societies who support each other's delusions. They even make up official-sounding names like "H5N2".

Of course the problem is that it is a strike dependant on an individual's physiology. Some people are less sensitive in certain areas than others. Just a quirk of nature.
