I already know how to wave my hands I don't need to get a second degree for that and I find poking to be undignified and pointless. If I want to KO somebody I either punch them or slam their head into something hard.

You don't need a math degree to do addition but you need it for more advanced math. You think what I am saying is rubbish because you dont understand it much like a first grade thinks doing addition with letters is rubbish only because they have no concept of algebra.

Yeah, I've always been a hands ON kinda "artist", seems like removing that part from a martial art would take all the FUN out of it!


Next he'll be telling us that "advanced" students can warp the subatomic universe of quantum reality as we understand it so they can not be killed by traditional weapons....

Time for a lesson... It's entitled why I don't believe in distance KO's.

Once upon a time there was an out-of-shape university student with an inquisitive mind and a fondness for esoteric subjects. This student's favorite subject was Religion. He found that he could easily grasp the concepts and it seemed all like a delightful game. Eventually this person's studies into Buddhism, Taoism, Gnosticism, Quabbalah and other mystically inclined religious affiliations led to a full study of mysticism. This included Western Hermetic Magic, Native American and African tribalism, Neo-Pagan Magick and "Chaos Magick" and (of course) Asian mystical beliefs such as Chi. After spending several years studying these systems of belief the person had ascertained a few facts.

1: For some reason accupuncture works.
2: There is no factual basis to believe in "auras".
3: "Chi Projection" attacks and their western counterpart the "Hex" do not work.
4: You cannot raise spirits.
these are just a few examples. The point was out of ALL the mysticism that I had studied the ONLY one that worked involved stikcing needles into the nervous system; something which has much more rational explainations for why it works than the magical force. From this basis I subjected other Qi related phenomena to the same scrutiny. I found that ALL of them could be explained rationally when they worked. The ones that failed to do anything (Dim Mak Touch Mastery, Distance KO's, Reiki, etc.) also were the ones that failed to have ANY rational explaination.
So I set to work to develop a paradigmatic explaination of Qi phenomena. Simultaneously I started taking martial arts with a Sifu who teaches both internal and external styles but using a rational/scientific paradigm. With his guidance It didn't take too long to develop one that could be generalized to most Qi phenomena.

Solution: most Qi phenomena are matters of bio-mechanics and psychology employed to derive a result. In the case of the most magical Qi phenomena (distance KO's) it was all psychology thus the previously posited statement that these tricks are used by hucksters to rope in rubes to their stupid seminars.

4: You cannot raise spirits.

That used to be the case until ouija boards. Now even toddlers can raise spirits

[Tom Yum]

4: You cannot raise spirits.
.

You can.

1. Take a room full of physics grad students
2. Pass out free shots of Jeagermeister
3. Get a Britney Spears look alike in a cheerleader outfit to come out to discuss "Coefficients of Friction on Oscillating Bodies"

Spirits raised.

Then Why Do People Bow To Mats And Pictures Of Dead People Etc... If They Aren't "worshiping" Spirits? Just Showing Respect? To What?
