What the show did NOT mention (though it is visible) is that the blow on the iron shirt practitioner is delivered MUCH closer to the handle, meaning the same force, but very different impact (impact moment if I recall my highschool physics correctly). Also a nice bit of ham acting/uki magic from the assistant as the bat "rebounds" of the master. Don't get me wrong, the practitioner is impressively conditioned and could kick my arse without breaking a sweat, but due to good old fitness and skill, not mystical ju-ju. interesting that in the youtube video that the blow on the ironshirt master was just over half the force of the one on the dummy (which voiceover indicated was just shy of the 800 pond of force most profesional combat sportsmen can withstand due to conditioning).

No one can deny that whether the technique is real, it does still yield results. Also, I believe that sceptics, or all people really, need to prove something themselves before making assumptions.

By yelling in my attackers face I create a pause long enough to strike first. It un-nerves my attacker and makes me stronger as any tennis player can attest. Three benefits on one--that is the power of kiai. Never underestimate it. The power of kiai for me means I have the element of surprise.

This can then cause people who agree with each other to argue. Alas, this seems to have been the case here. Post wsa meant to be satirical, and obviously failed. My bad :) Sometimes internet posts meant to be read as “wry sarcasm” can generate a “humour nulification field”. This can then cause people who agree with each other to argue.
