Cameron was the first one to put out one of these video's, and I believe he left Dillmans organisation shortly after... can't think why! One of my instructors, a very good PP's guy has openly offered to allow any of these guys to try and knock him out using PP's... only catch is that they have to let him attack full power. No one has taken up the challange yet. Its BS like this that puts people off studying the PP's. Such a shame.

Interesting stuff. Besides the fact that he's endangering and ripping off his students, what makes anyone think someone is going to just stand there and LET them touch their pressure points? Against an average joe on the street, what do you do? Ask him, that's what. Now against an average joe on the street who wants to take your money and KILL you with his happy trigger gun, I wouldn't touch it (no pun intended). Come to think of it, and this is a good question, I wonder if presure points are considered to be part of one's fine motor skills, gross motor skills, or sprinkled across both. From my experience, and I remember learning some pressure point techniques in my training, I'd get my ass kicked attempting it on a grappler (that's another story).

I think I saw Stephan Bonnar in the video, he was one of the BJJ guys. Maybe I'm seeing things...

You`re quite right. If you know some PP it doesn`t mean you can now just beat anybody. You have to have some skill before you are able to use PP. If your opponent has more skill than you, what is the use of PP? I guess PP are the perfection of your skill.

I WAS RIGHT! The report was shot in Chicago, where Stephen Bonnar trained. Does anybody know what year that was shot? I guess he was going to be on TV one way or another.

P.S. Could someone else confirm this? He's one of t he BJJ guys that gets tested on. I would hate to be wrong and not know it.

Many years ago, I used to go to Dillman's tournament. He held two tournaments a year. In fact, I fought my first BB match with Dillman standing next to my instructor. Odd memories.
Back to the point...Years later, I was unable to go to the tournament one time so my students went anyway. They came back raving about a demo they saw there. Seems there was an old oriental man who stood in the center of the floor and asked 20 volunteers from the crowd to take their best shot at him one at a time. Block, strike, block, strike. Next thing you know, there were 20 unconsious people lying on the floor. I still wish I had seen it, but I don't doubt the truth of the reports.
I still want to do one of Dillman's seminars. Not to be the toughest guy in the room, but for a simpler reason.
It is about the pursuit of knowlege and what we make of it.

What is this guy? A seventh degree BB? This is why I no longer wholly trust anybody no matter what their rank.

Pressure points work. But it's not so much pressure points as it is attacking the bodies weak spots.

They were wearing dobaks, dobaks thats not TKD, or a real MA. Its all mental, if you believe you can be knocked out you can be if not... well.

I am sorry, but no, no, no, no I don't care this won't work. "traditional" what? As yuu can see worthless, I am usually open minded about MA, but ki in this way? NO

Also, the Stephen Bonnar thing was pretty weird.
