I have so much respect for Shaolin Monks. Not because they could kick my ass in so many ways other than this, but because they have such amazing levels of power, dedication and concentration that simply astounds me
NinthNova VC is not a measurement of force, but rather, viscous response. It's the product of velocity of deformation (V) and compression (C); the calculation of how soft biological tissue reacts to impact. 1VC is the point at which crash safety mechanisms in a car are deemed to have failed, because that is (roughly) the threshold of internal injury. If this guy punched you in the torso and generated a viscous response of 1.5VC, you could suffer a collapse lung, torn liver, etc., potentially resulting in death.
In fairness, his hand is clearly more than one inch away from that dummy-and possibly more than three. Check the slowdown shot in the final seconds. Not only do his fingers retract into a fist, expanding the apparent distance between him and his target, but he also chambers slightly just before striking.) That said, just the opening demonstrations of his pain resistance and psychological control were utterly terrifying. Those blows could cripple lesser men with sheer pain, if not trauma.
Jung was spot on when he said the peoples of the East had far out developed Westerners in the mind/body relationship. We have a lot to learn about Qigong and how it really works.
May i remind you to discuss with respect, everybody's opinion is welcome as long as it made with respect, i will start delating offensive comments in both sides.
Besides which, freedom of speech is about preventing authority from censoring people's opinion. It is about people being allowed to voice their concerns, their beliefs and opinions in a public forum without fear of being silence by the government or other legal body. It does not mean "I can say whatever I want, wherever I want". You don't, and that isn't what freedom of speech entails. This youtube channel belongs to someone, and they have a right to moderate it as they see fit.
@stevemd78 its actually not 6 inches away but rather 6 inches in total. meaning one inch away and 5 inches through the object/body. If done right of course
@MrOdsplut No. They mean a person in a car crash, not a car crashing into a person. A person in a car crash would be maybe a 80kg person traveling at 30-40mph and hitting 0 velocity instantaneously. So double that would be the person the guy flying at 60-80mph in the car crash.
@jinenjuce No. They mean a person in a car crash, not a car crashing into a person. A person in a car crash would be maybe a 80kg person traveling at 30-40mph and hitting 0 velocity instantaneously. So double that would be the person the guy flying at 60-80mph in the car crash.
so if a car was travelling at him at 30 miles per hour and he punched it, he'd not only stop it but throw it backwards at 30 miles per hour WHAT A FUCKING MACHINE!
looking at 3:42 he wasn't at 1 inch, he was more like 3 inches. When you look at Bruce Lee his fingers are always touching the board until the point of impact. Very powerful punch but not a one inch punch.
You HAD discredit the obvious years of peaceful meditation and patience this man has put into making himself into a monument towards human physical potential, just to make yourself feel better about yourself and your own spiritual choices and beliefs, huh?
This is killing me. What the heck is this unit "VC" she's referring to? I can find no standardized crash test that uses this unit, and I can't understand why she didn't explain the 1-inch(ish) punch in lbf. like the first strike.
oh hey, you're right. Thanks for clarifying that up. Well, that'd be a lot harder to calculate, given I don't know what happens exactly in a lot of a car crash. You'd start with the 3000 lb force of the crash, but much of it is dissipated by the crumple zone, and then of whatever's left, only a fraction is inflicted onto the driver through the steering column. Hell, I am really curious about how much force a vC is now.
@1:46 that feat is impressive. But the endurance that you need when "you know" you're about to be hit compare to the endurance you need when you are not expecting to be hit by chance is different. Supposing your opponent landed a punch out of nowhere and you were not ready to receive that then that will hurt
If you train MMA you're essentially training in wrestling, jujitsu, and some form of kickboxing. There isn't really a style called MMA, MMA is a form of competition, and you can train for it and be an MMA fighter, but you're skills are based in the aforementioned arts, not "MMA".
I dont see why you have 23 likes your theory is wrong, A car going at 30mph is 13.41 meters per second and if we X that by the mass a car and ive only used 500kg which is very small, we get the momentum which is 6705kg, You would need 65753 newtons of force to stop the car going at 30mph dead.
Finally found what VC is. viscous criterion(VC) It is used to rate bodily injury's in vehicles and there is a formula posted in a pdf if you were to search for it. Oh.... and the "1 inch punch" is defined as a punch from 1-6 inches away
So, what you're saying is that the next time I meet a kindly, soft spoken Asian vegetarian, it is imperative that I *not* anger him. I've already been living by these rules most of my life. Seen too many movies to risk it... I know, I know, half the point of being a Buddhist monk is that it's nearly impossible to anger one against their will, but...give me half an hour.
Not the point of this demonstration. They're showing that it is possible for a human to generate enough force to deal extreme damage without the need to store excess potential energy.
Impressive,but when you pull your arm back a few inches before striking, should it still really be called a "ONE INCH" punch. I'm asking you guys,because i wouldn't dare ask him.lol
Shaolin life is wake up at 5 morning everyday 5: 15 cleaning bed include face wash and brush teeth, 5:30 breakfast and start training at 6:00 till 6 PM 4 section of training , i started my training on 7 yr old learning till 18 yr old
This is very impressive! Well, for comparison's sake, the average person's wrists will snap if catching themselves at 7km/h, or 4.35mph, and having that sort of impact to your chest will do some serious damage. While the body can withstand pretty amazing things, it really isn't made to be hit with that kind of force :)
If you start deleting comments you see as offensive: everybody's opinion is NOT welcome. You can't make two contradictory claims simultaneously. With all due respect: nobody is due any respect from anybody else, but we are due the right to free speech.
Size doesn't matter its the nature of how you can lay compact and organized muscle on top of one another. Also the spirit(Qi aka life force energy) plays a crucial role in breaking down barriers in your mind and in the world around you.
Traditional Chinese medicine and the like is still highly effective for a lot of illnesses, but yeah, I'm not sure I'd trust my life to it if I needed serious medical attention lol. It all goes back to that fundamental east/west difference, we see things as more mechanical here, and our medicine reflects that, where's in the east the have a more unified view of stuff. Just glad we're living in a time where we can enjoy the best of both worlds.
Because people believe that just because they have the ability to type they can say whatever they want whenever they want and everyone wants to hear it.
@reens79 it's both some use it for sport some use it for self defense with taekwondo being around for over 50 years you would think people would know this even some of the people who practice it don't notice
I never paid attention in physics but something about the force at the end of a lever being amplified if you place the fulcrum nearer the effort. So far, in all the hits he's gotten, the point of impact was mostly around the middle of the stick. I'm not doubting his genuinity though. I very much doubt the average man could take such hits without at least a nasty bruise.
5'3 and lean but muscular, he's probably around 110 pounds I'm guessing. Dude just prooved size doesn't matter if you train enough and know how to fight.
I think it is likely that there are a lot of folks who make a lot of different choices. Given that this is 2013, I suppose it is likely that there are monks who participate in MMA. Former monks? I think a lot of eastern philosophy in this day and age says things like "find your joy", so to speak.
@SALDS4real They mentioned it being twice the force of a car crash at 30 mph. Figures are 1500kg average for a car, 30 mph = 13.41 meters per second, average duration of a car crash 3 seconds (from impact to velocity = 0) This is a force of 13 411.33 Newtons, or 3015 pounds of force, for the car crash.
The video talks about damage done to a /person/ sitting inside a car if it crashes at 30mph. Generally with safety standards, that means after things like airbags, and the front of the car crumples etc. He's not actually punching at 70kN. It's probably not even lethal, given that most people can survive a 30mph frontal car crash
am i the only one who saw that he pulled back a little bit before he punched, plus putting his body into the punch like he was going to follow thorugh the body... wonder how strong a normal punch would be...stupid hypeing ^^
Shaolin Kung Fu is all about increasing your health and well-being. UFC is more about figthing without any regards for your health to gain money and fame. Very different!
