		<description>Hey Sifu,
The Navy Seals are using the same techniques similar to the you are teaching with 1 Hit/touch knockouts I think.
I just happened across an NBC blog about U. S. Navy Seals training this weekend training in Coronado. It was a field note by NBC correspondant Chris Jansing.
www.facebook.com/usnavyseals?v=box_3
In one exercise a Navy Seal was lying down on the ground with a hood on his head. His mock captures picked him up and pulled off the hood. The special forces soldier did rapid slaps to each soldiers face, striking them 3 times each across the pressure points. They both went down within 3 to 4 seconds.
Another scenario: he is lying on the ground and two soldiers were leaning over him. The seal raised and fired off rapid palm strikes to each soldiers face dropping them in seconds. All of those contact meridians on the sides of the face ensured a quick knockout.Then the SEAL jumps up, pulls a pistol and blank shoots two guards at the door. 

The SEALS are using the techniques you are teaching in their self defense dude! Because it is effective and quick way to knock someone out.. It works!

(there are three videos, views them all and get a glimpse into why this system is so effective the U.S. Navy seals are using it.</description>

		<description>This knowledge is important in that developing fluidity and practicing with relaxation will map the neurology in your brain to perform the technique with lightning speed properly. If it is practiced at a slow and fluid pace in the beginning. After just a few months, with not a whole lot of practice, my strikes have become much more potent as a result of purchasing your 1 hit and 1 touch knockout videos.

Thank You Again,</description>

		<description>This method, in just a short period of time, has tripled the

power of my strikes. This increases the chances of ending

a confrontation much faster. The longer you allow a street 

altercation to continue, the higher the risk of you losing the fight

or worse, losing your life.</description>

		<title>Comment on 1 HIT KNOCKOUTS by Ben</title>

		<description>Hi,
We appreciate your comments and feed back. I&#039;ll try to address some of your concerns here since these kind of questions do tend to crop up semi regularly. (especially online where we cant simply let someone feel what we are talking about.)
	
&lt;p class=&quot;note&quot;&gt;&quot;I’m very skeptical when people talk about one-touch knockouts a la George Dillman.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;

Skepticism is a good quality to have. You&#039;ll find our approach to knockouts is very different than other methods that have been well publicized. You can get more information about it by signing up for our 4 day email course. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fastknockouts.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Click here to sign up&lt;/a&gt;. I will warn you ahead of time it&#039;s written in a &quot;marketing oriented&quot; way however it will give you a good overview of what we mean by &quot;1 Touch Knockouts.&quot; And you can unsubscribe from our mailing list at any time if you no longer want to receive product info and announcements. 

&lt;p class=&quot;note&quot;&gt;You should be asking yourself whether something will really work in a fight,&lt;/p&gt;

1 Touch Knockout quality striking is an important part of any self defense system. In a bad situating that involves multiple attackers armed with blades you simply do not have time to trade blows with an attacker or focus too much time or effort on any one person. The ability to deliver devastating power without effort is crucial. 

This also becomes very important as you age. If you have to use effort to deliver power, eventual you will no longer be able to use that skill without hurting yourself, but if you can deliver power without effort then you will have something you can use well into your 80&#039;s and 90&#039;s

The primary focus of the Clear&#039;s Silat program is how to survive bad situations involving multiple attackers and how to still have that ability when your 70, 80 &amp; 90

&lt;p class=&quot;note&quot;&gt;you run the risk that skeptical people aren’t going to believe you and that they will blow the rest of your material off because of it&lt;/p&gt;

Skeptical people (like yourself) will look deeper and ask questions. They usually turn into good students.

Close minded people will blow off our material because it doesn&#039;t fit with the way they like to view the world, but they were never going to study from us anyway.

&lt;p class=&quot;note&quot;&gt;wouldn’t it be better to just say “one hit knockouts?” Nobody can possibly dispute that.&lt;/p&gt;

One Hit Knockouts are the first level. Once you learn how to deliver power this way, the next step is to deliver this power effortlessly.

A 1 touch knockout should only feel like a touch to the person delivering the strike. The person receiving the strike will feel like they got hit by a sledgehammer or worse.
 
We could call it 1 Hit knockouts BUT,
1. That wouldn&#039;t be accurate
2. Unfortunately in our society the general public responds well to sensational advertising and the quality of a product has very little to do with how well it does in the marketplace. 

Fortunately our products DO deliver what we claim 100% This allows us to use marketing language that helps us stand out and get that first sale while at the same time delivering on our promises and building lasting relationships with our customers.

&lt;p class=&quot;note&quot;&gt;Another place where I’m skeptical is when you talk about healing energy. I believe you speak in good faith– but where is the evidence that chi kung works for healing?&lt;/p&gt;

We hold workshops twice a year where we teach people how to use our healing method. We have always had excellent results. 

One of the important questions to ask when looking at any healing method is &quot;Does the patient have to believe in the method for it to work?&quot;

Our methods produce excellent results regardless of whether the patient believes it will work or not.

Also the healing method taught in our workshops teaches you to sense and diagnose an injury without touching the patient. This allows you (and we&#039;ve done this) to take 3 people who have been trained in this method give them a patent with an injury and without talking to the patient, without talking to each other and without touching the patient they can tell you where the injury is and describe it.

The is a money back guarantee on this workshop as well.

&lt;p class=&quot;note&quot;&gt;Silat is esoteric and mysterious enough as it is&lt;/p&gt;

I agree. Mysticism has been used extensively in the martial arts to confuse and mislead people. however the skills we are talking about here are very real. 

You&#039;ll find that our approach to teaching is very hands on, practical and results oriented. There is nothing esoteric or mystical about what we do. The #1 question we ask ourselves about any of the material we teach or study whether it&#039;s for self defense or healing is: &quot;Does it work in the real world under unfavorable conditions?&quot;</description>

		<description>This is a little bit of criticism.  Feel free to delete it or not publish it-- it&#039;s really a message to you and not your readership.

I&#039;m very skeptical when people talk about one-touch knockouts a la George Dillman.  I think it&#039;s conceivably possible.  However, you are running the risk of perpetuating certain martial arts superstitions-- yellow bamboo comes to mind.

You should be asking yourself whether something will really work in a fight, not just in some poorly-supported body of quasi-spiritual theory that was developed when everyone thought the earth was flat and that powdered tiger penis bone could cure cancer (many people still believe that, but it doesn&#039;t make it true...)

Also you run the risk that skeptical people aren&#039;t going to believe you and that they will blow the rest of your material off because of it.

I&#039;ve been watching your stuff for years online.  Your material is definitely legitimate.  It&#039;s much better than much of the americanized silat out there-- not naming any names here but you probably know who I&#039;m talking about.  You are really fast and fluid and very knowledgeable.  You also seem to have a great teaching manner and it shows in the interactions with your students-- I think you can tell a lot about someone from this sort of clip, strangely enough, and you&#039;re someone who I would study with if I lived in your area.

All that said, though, wouldn&#039;t it be better to just say &quot;one hit knockouts?&quot;  Nobody can possibly dispute that.

Another place where I&#039;m skeptical is when you talk about healing energy.  I believe you speak in good faith-- but where is the evidence that chi kung works for healing?  The fact is that there isn&#039;t any.  Nothing above the placebo effect has ever been shown under controlled conditions in over a hundred years of trying.

If it were me, I would keep it to the leverage energy and not try to sell the other stuff because in my opinion it cheapens the stuff that&#039;s legitimate.  Silat is esoteric and mysterious enough as it is-- let it be fascinating on its own without claiming that there are djinns living in your kujangs.  Not that you&#039;re the one who does that, but you get the point.

You&#039;re not near one of the worst offenders in this.  otherwise I wouldn&#039;t even bother saying anything about it.</description>
