I'd just like to say that I felt the same way as most people do when they see video like this. A friend showed me similar footage of himself getting thrown this way and I was like "WTF!?" But instead of totally writing it off I saved up enough money to go visit the person in question and experience it myself. I don't even try to convince people of anything with video. I recommend people go see for themselves (or they can come challenge me to some pushing :) ). All my contact information is on my website.

He was a middle aged man with a big belly. He got these two powerfully built young adults to push him at the same time together. They pushed hard as they can and he stood steady and laughed! Also he sent me tumbling back with a push. The thing is that, that type of power needs to be experienced in order to understand it. When you look at it on TV people are inclined to think it is fake. But it is really genius. I have presonally witnessed a Tai chi master demonstrate his powers. He was a middle aged man with a big belly.

Like I said, I've seen and felt these skills in person; that is my basis for passing judgment. BTW, here is <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8N17UR1TC9s" rel="nofollow">another video</a> of miltownkid, your "mind control victim". Benefit of the doubt?

This is just another in a long list of examples of martial arts students who become so subtly manipulated by their teachers that they'll actually hurl themselves around believing that they're being repelled by their teacher's awesome power. For crying out loud, look closely and you can see that he's moving in such a way that clearly indicates he's leaping back, jutting his hips backward (after being pushed in the chest) before hopping back from the heels. Just like those aikido demos where the instructor twitches his pinky and the students go somersaulting through the air.

I'm not saying it is or is'nt real (this video) but I'll tell you what--you'd be surprised what u can do when you totally and completely dedicate your life to it. That is something many, including yourself, find difficult to grasp. Many jump on the MMA train and regard themselves knowledgable in a few years. Mastering energy manifestation like this takes 20-30 years-4-10 hours a day working under someone who has already served thi time and energy. Until you've known someone who has acheived this regimen you might want to pick another subject to comment on. mmabjj I know your post is from long ago but for posterity’s sake I’ll continue.
