[QUOTE=Jimbo;1041613]I was really impressed by the Indian Monkey Man (the one who climbs all over the place, including a sheer rock cliff, using mainly his finger strength and agility). That guy was incredible, and he has a helluva fu jow (tiger claw).[/QUOTE]
Agreed. Insane strength and body control on that guy.
Human stun gun debunked
Just watched that superhuman show on history channel and they did and episode on Tom w whatz his nutz guy from Chicago, and he tried the touchless KO on the host and it didnt work!
they did say that his student had a drop in blood pressure, but thats about it.
because his students are WEAK.
THEY WILL DIE TO THE STRONG.

Yeah, I just watched it now. Here’s what happened.
He knocked out some students without touching them.
He wasn’t able to knock out the host.
They brought in some paranormal investigators who measured his “energy” or whatever and they got a reading, but then when he left the room they were still getting a reading.
Then they brought in some paramedics and hooked a student up to some meters and had him do a no touch knock out and they noticed a blood pressure drop, which lead them to the conclusion of “it’s not hypnosis”. That was it.
And then Stan Lee was like “the power of suggestion can be a super power of its own” or something like that.
Basically it was a bunch of BS that didn’t work. I’m glad they didn’t try to make it into something it wasn’t. What good is no-touch knock out power if it only works on your own students?
Kinda like that Japanese kiai master who could control people from several feet away…until he fought in a real fight where nothing worked at all?
It has like 5 million views on youtube. I don’t know if it’s funny or sad.

Shaolin Monk Hu Qiong on season 2 episode 1 of Stan Lee’s Superhumans
Shaolin Monk Hu Qiong was on season 2, episode 1 this week doing some qigong stuff. They brought a biomechanical engineer to observe.
Monk claims to use qi to protect himself from damage.
First demo:
Qiong “prepares his body by harnessing his qi” and then hits himself in the head a bunch of times with a piece of metal and bends it, then flips it over and hits the other side and bends it back.
Engineer says “impressive, but physics explains how this is happening. there’s nothing here that pushes the limits of human tolerance.”
Second demo:
Qiong lays on 3 vertical spears while a 100 pound granite block is placed on his back and is broken with a sledgehammer. He does qi warm-up exercises first.
Engineer says it was impressive, but he’s not “unbreakable”, which the monk claimed to be.
Third demo:
Qiong presses a running drill into his stomach, throat, and temple. He has scars on his body, probably from previous demonstrations.
Engineer says he doesn’t know why it’s not going thru. They used force plates or something to see if he’s actually pressing or just holding it there. They said he’s pressing with up to 200lbs of force. It bled a little but the monk was fine.
I’m sure there’s a trick to it, but I figured I’d mention it here in case anyone wanted to look it up.
Here’s an article and pic of him using a drill on his own head:

Hu Qiong
Hu was brought up on our Shaolin bodyguards thread.
There was a Combat Ki guy on Stan Lee’s Superhumans tonight
Mods: I know this thread will get moved to “other media” or whatever but can we leave it on the main forum for a few days so people see it?
A guy named Kirby Roy who is a Combat Ki guy and student of Rod Sacharnoski (who was also on the episode) took strikes from two karate experts and a boxer. He took a groin shot and knife edge to the throat from the karate guys, and a liver shot from the boxer. Dude didn’t even care, he smiled and shook their hands afterwards.
Anyone see it?
ur point is wat
staged or real?
[QUOTE=bawang;1219100]ur point is wat[/QUOTE]
It was an interesting segment.
Just got done watching that episode ironfist. I guess it may be real, i’ve seen him before on YouTube so i don’t think it would be the show faking it if anything. If it is true then we gotta find out how to do that! Lol
He should go against http://www.youtube.com/watch?nomobile=1&v=CuqkP5Mic2U
“EYAHHHHHHHHHH EYAHHHHHH” you’ll get it when you watch the video, I started laughing, but this is still impressive.
Best I can do is supply a redirect link for a couple of days.
I wonder if he feels it the next day ?, a jaw punch would have been something they might try. Knock out versus pain, does it do both ?
Here’s a thread that mentions that guy:
The first mention of Roy is on page 5 and through the rest of the thread.

The general consensus is that it requires some skill but is mostly a parlor trick.
A comparison was made to a stage magician, except the difference is when you go to see a stage magician you know you are seeing stage tricks. The magician doesn’t lie to you and tell you he is actually sawing the woman in half.
I will say, however, that the demo on Stan Lee’s Superhumans was at least more along the lines of “I’ve been conditioning myself to withstand strikes” rather than “mystic qi power” fluff. So props to them for that.
It’s impressive, but it doesn’t look healthy at all over the long-term.
