I think for us regular folk, the chance of being able to close on someone (who has any ability at all) and get that kind of wound made is not likely. But think already being a clinch, maybe your're being choked so the bad guy has committed his limbs. You get ahold of your knife and cut him off of you. A situation like that with a sufficiently sharp blade and goes from unlikely to maybe.

He's choking me?! I'm getting a little "anxious" just thinking about it.

WHY I HATE IT (BUT STILL TRAIN IT)

His "full body jab" video is almost comical.
I don't know anything about the instructor of the course discussed but I can tell you that the Jab video is a poor example of combat-effective skills. Punching is a learned skill that requires months to years to master.
“Are you going to dramatically fly backwards for him?”
Yeah, it is tolerable… but it still sucks. Are you willing to hold the bag to find out Stop on by the store from 8am-5:30pm and sign a waiver form and you can hold the bag. We will get your INGO user id on camera so people know who you are and we will tape the entire thing. And if you’re not willing to stop by, then don’t talk about this topic which you know nothing or little about. When should I expect to see some of you? My guess is… you won’t come by because you might just be wrong and will be embarrassed in front of your so called peers.“Really though, only if he hits it hard enough. I want to see what the technique looks like at full speed. With a pad it should be tolerable.”
“So... I just watched this video. If his claims were true, he would be a boxing champion. His claims seem odd. In a properly executed boxing punch, the power comes right from the ground through your entire body in somewhat the same manner he describes (though at speed, with power instead of a push). Yet, very strong, very skilled boxers exchange full-power shots for 16 rounds without either going to the hospital. What is the secret these boxers are missing?”

If someone admits they won't train again all year, teach them an eye gouge and work integration. If someone will put in work, expose them to all the good stuff. (Redzone, etc.)
Until you are holding the bag, please refrain from childish comments. I will be more than happy to let you hold the bag and then I expect you to come back here and submit a formal apology.
The most difficult thing to do is to learn how to punch and kick effectively. And, most people stink at it and that is why you can learn to “take” their punches. What we do is not flashy, but it works. And that is why I don’t use any other method of punching. I’m not about “fighting” someone. I want to do as little as possible with optimal results and this jab is more powerful than most punches in boxing, MMA, Krav Maga, etc. When I find something that is better, I will be teaching it regardless of what it is.

You see people; it is your ego keeping you from learning something of value here. There are two kinds of people… Those who bash what they don’t understand. And those who “bash” because they fully understand what is going on. Unfortunately, most people fall under the first category because they don’t/won’t train realistically. I’m not afraid to stay the course and take ridicule because one day you might and I say might see the light.
Simply put, boxing is a sport and they are not “real effective” at hitting or the fight would be over very quickly. Boxers are missing the body dynamics I am using. If they were to make a slight change in body alignment, then fights wouldn’t last long at all and boxing wouldn’t have the following that it does. How many people would go to a paid fight that lasts 10 seconds?
Most of you are quick to make comments based upon pure ignorance. Yet you believe that you can get your gun out in a fight, hit, and immediately reduce your threat. And you don’t see the reality that it probably isn’t going to happen? Not to mention the insanity of the basic principles of most defensive handgun tactics…
Szorn makes a comment I hear often about the highest percentage training tactics etc. His statement as written works. With very little change though it can morph into the more dangerous idea that what works for the most people is what we should all be learning. Least common denominator training is great for NRA classes and carbine classes with 39 guys per instructor. If we are each seeking the best answer it may not be the common denominator. An eye gouge is great at working across spectrums. Boxing...maybe not. With my attributes my time is better spent working clinching than knife fighting or taekwondo. If you are willing to put in the hours you can rise above the average Joe tactics. If ICP mentions arm bars it is because he has spent many hours rolling. Telling a general audience not to work them may do a disservice to the two people who would take your advice to heart and go join a bjj gym. Part of the problem is getting the information out there and letting people decide where they fall on the spectrum of effort expended.

Most people cannot punch even after years of training. That is why it takes several punches to get the job done, IF they get it done. Bruce Lee had a one inch punch and I don’t see you making fun of him. Truth is that he was simply rediscovering something that had been around for hundreds of years. Just because you all don’t understand something, doesn’t mean it doesn’t work. Sadly, most of you will never get up off your butts and try it out. Rather, you continue to stroke your own egos by sitting here bashing me. I am a doer and not a talker. I’ve put thousands of hours of training time in so I have a much better leg to stand on than probably 99% of you here.
