    Does it work?

    Also why didn't Bill just get in to a wheel chair. He'd have been grand. :cool:

    There has been talk of various forms of Kyūshojutsu, or pressure-point style striking, since time immemorial. Dim Mak, Bruce Lee, et al - all about interrupting the heart at a critical point in it's cycle by precisely hitting a point outside it. There is limited evidence that this sort of thing was ever developed into any kind of practical, reliable system.

    In short: Bart, don't use the Touch of Death on your sister!

    Apparently you have to hit numerous key pressure points pretty much at the same time.

    Ergo it is possible but impossible for most if not all humans.

    in fighting, like everything else you just need to follow the money to see the best techniques.

    First they came for the socialists...

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    You mean O-Ren Ishii? Not quite, nearly - she used a shirasaya, a katana with a plain wood handle and no hand-guard. The one in the picture above is the more usual type, with a wound leather handle and quite an elaborately-finished tsuba, or hand-guard.

    Does it work?

    Of course it works! The version you're seeing though is outdated and no longer used. It's actually become known as a joke move among those who practiced it. Only kids are taught this technique and it's mostly as a practical joke on them :D

    The real more modern technique however, is much more deadly. There are many videos of people suddenly dying on live television. But you never see them dying while they are walking to there destination. No no no, what you see is them just sitting there or talking and then boom. Gone.

    The new technique works by slowly but surely constricting the blood vessels around the heart. Virtually undetectable to the person affected by the technique and impossible to prove.

    Scary af
    Also why didn't Bill just get in to a wheel chair. He'd have been grand. :cool:

    The trigger for the heart to explode is not in the number of steps taken. That is a misnomer.

    It refers to the total exertion applied to the heart after taking 5 steps. If you watch the movie you'll see that he only takes 4 steps and before completing his fifth step dies. This is because buttoning his shirt and standing up counted as "one step" of exertion to the heart.

    My fighting style is based solely on pro wrestling techniques.

    This was performed in Indiana Jones and the temple of Doom.

    Indy survived and the movie series culminated in
    The cr@ppy Crystal Skull.

    Alternatively known as the 1911 exploding heart technique.

    Kill Bill is poor auld tack in fairness.

    Watch the film 'Harakiri' from 1962, for a right 5 point martial art revenge palm shlap to the face.

    Though if I'm honest BC I'm much more an 1896 man myself.



    Might be a personal bias TBH. Many years back I had the chance to shoot a few different pistols. 1911s, PPKs(oh yes), Webleys, Colt, Glocks, Brownings... And couldn't hit a barn door with any of them, or near enough. The Victorian era Mauser on the other hand... Bang on target with each shot. Maybe cos it was a heavy old thing? Very easy to point though.
