The Knock Out Karate Chop

[socksquatch]

Proof that it does in fact knock you out. That took him 21 years to master?

What a heap of total tripe.

I could teach someone how to do that move in about 2 minutes. The body will drop if you hit the carotid artery fairly solidly - that's it!

The trick is, of course, being able to do it to someone who is doing all he can to kick your teeth in. Then it isn't quite so easy.

Yeah stand right and then I can knock you out.

That's a chop I need to learn!

Sock, I agree with Thai that it doesn't seem like a strike you would need to practice 21 years to learn how to do. Maybe I'm wrong due to ignorance but can you tell me why you would need to train over a decade to learn that chop?

Good video though. Thanks for posting it.

Naw, I believe dogzilla is right. I was somewhat conjecturing that you were studying that art and consequently suggesting that that chop, effectively done and assumed as a black belt, required 21 years of training (up the ranks per se). Looks like we both were wrong.

Yes, that video is dumb. But, don't underestimate the edge of hand blow. Arguably, it is the most dangerous strike of all. We are biased by our cultural preference for power punching. That biase is created primarily by our immitating combat sports, such as boxing and now MMA. Keep in mind that 30 feet of cloth wraps and rolls of atheltic tape under padded gloves tend to help avoid the most obvious problem with doing something so unnatural with your hand as punching--broken hand. Sport fighting, self defense, and close combat differ.
