    Before the "no true scotsman" crowd comes-

    The fallacy does not apply if there is a clear and well-understood definition of what membership in a group requires and it is that definition which is broken (e.g., "no honest man would lie like that!", "no Christian would worship Satan!" and so on).

    So if I go "no REAL vegetarian eats meat", you can't just go "I know a vegetarian that eats meat".

    As traditional Shaolin Monasteries are famous for that crazy self-denial stuff, it does not apply here.

    A Shaolin monk is known for his strength, flexibility, and pain-endurance. Shaolin monks, also called the ultimate Buddhist warriors, are unique fighters. This guy, along with others that appeared in TV shows etc. are a commercialized aspect of Shaolin.

          Keep in mind that in China, people have the option to study Shaolin instead of go to university. The skills they learn in a Shaolin academy can be applied to various jobs such as security, the Chinese army, Police, and in some cases, entertainment, making it a desirable source of alternate education. They may not be Shaolin monks bound to the Shaolin tradition, but that doesn't mean that they haven't learned the same skills that the monks have. IIRC, they start off as kids and stay in the academy for over 10 years, sometimes 15. They have the experience even if they don't share the philosophies.

          [–]tourm 11 points12 points ago

          As far as I know, most of the traditional schools are split about 80-20 "secular disciples" to "martial monks". The secular students get the kung fu and conditioning, the monks do that, harder, and all of the buddhism self-denial and spiritual side as well.

          [–]FirstTimeWang 5 points6 points ago

          Pain-endurance aside, does their intense phyiscal training make any difference in brain damage from repeated head-trauma like that? I'd imagine there's not a whole lot you can do about your brain bouncing around inside your dome....

          [–]JensenUVA 15 points16 points ago

          from what I know of other disciplines the main thing is to kindof roll or rock with it so the blows are glancing rather than head on. It is very very subtle and it's indicative of a serious difference in the level of technique between the two fighters.

          This guy's arrogance will probably end up ruining him one day.

          [–]Amosral 9 points10 points ago

          Usually when you get punched, your head rolls or rocks sharply to one side, the inertia of the movement causes your brain to shake about in your skull, After your brain has hit the inside of your skull a couple of times, you generally fall unconscious. This guy seems to be holding his neck still to minimize that movement, and letting the energy from the blows rock his whole body instead. So he is probably not getting as much "bounce". It looks like a really painful strategy though and I'm guessing the right blow from the right angle will still get him in the end.

          [–]xodus52 3 points4 points ago

          Unconsciousness occurs when the head is snapped to the side quick enough to cause a temporary disruption on blood flow to the brain from the artery which runs through the neck.

                [–]SemiSeriousSam 53 points54 points ago

                Wrong reasoning. Shaolin Monks are known to reject fighting for competition, as it shows a selfish display of pride and glory. This is not how a 'real' Monk behaves. It's all about principles.

                EDIT: Guess I spoke too soon. Seems like you can have honorable monks in fighting competitions.

                    [–]th1nker 13 points14 points ago

                    Maybe the traditional values, but modern Shaolin schools prepare people for an array of modern jobs, including security, police, military, and even entertainment. You must understand that even shaolin can adapt to suit modern needs.

                      Real Shaolin monks do not instigate, but they may defend. It makes sense considering the supposed monk let him blast his face a couple times before even starting to retaliate.

All his students played along then he got taken out with a single punch to the face in a real fight by someone who knew nothing of this guys special "powers".

                        [–]Numl0k 21 points22 points ago

                        I'm assuming they were all in on it. The "master" surely knew that his powers were fake. Nobody could possibly be that stupid or delusional. The students probably played along for either money, or for the privilege of saying that they were taught under the great kiai master.

                        Got backed into a corner when people tried to force him to back up his claims. At least this way he can say "Oh, this dude has some dark chi, he used the darkness of his soul to counteract my techniques!".

                          [–]SaulsAll 4 points5 points ago

                          It's the same reason faith healers can knock people out by touching them on the forehead. When you really believe in the power, the slightest suggestion can make your brain tell your body to react. Thus it really feels to the student that the master has some sort of special power and the other students who witness it have their belief reinforced, which ensures they too will get knocked out with a touch.

                          All of this psychosomatic suggestion then simply reinforces the master's belief that the power really works, and they make foolish claims and try it out on someone who instead of believing in their power will actively resist them. And they get punched in the face.

                                  Its ok to be sympathetic because he got his ass kicked, but he didn't realize his "technique" was shit right there, he knew very well that he couldn't knock people over with his special energy powers.

                                  That's a lifetime of lying to people and probably profiting off it coming back at you in the form of someone who can throw a punch.

                                  Me thinks so too. My guess is that not only did he fool and trick his students, he actually fooled himself into believing his magic was real. There must be lots and lots of ppl who done the same. Surround yourself with folks that constantly lick your ass and your connection to reality eventually gets lost.

                                      The knock out happens around 8:50.

                                      Pretty intense. I was surprised some of those fancy kicks seemed to connect - didn't really phase the big guy though. My dad used to always say, you can practice all the fancy kicks you want but they don't mean shit in a fight.

                                            I'm on my phone so I can't link it, but you don't get much fancier than Anthony Pettis' kick against Ben Henderson. That kind of shit doesn't happen outside of movies - YouTube it. Or somebody be a doll and link it; it's worth your 30 seconds.

                                            Edit: It's under 30 seconds; don't be a bitch, this kick will blow your mind.

                                            Or machida? Or the show time kick? Or barboza? Fancy moves work if you've practised them so many times they're not fancy anymore

                                              That is absolutely true. When you get into a real fight you want to switch to kickboxing techniques and wrestling, which have been proven to be extremely effective over any other fighting style.

                                              Something like this will absolutely destroy anything what that Shaolin munk could ever deliver, just look at that fluidity, power and speed. Each of those punches and kicks is enough to break bones if they connect properly.

                                                Definitely looked like he was out and the fight was called. You could (incorrectly) argue that it was a TKO, but that was definitely not just a knock down.

                                                    I think I would have just called it a quits after not even phasing the guy after throwing some blows like that.

                                                    I can't tell if the "monk's" stumble forward is actually a sign it was a bit more than expected or if it is part of the act. I think he was a little woozy for a moment there.

                                                    Contrary to what everyone here would have you believe, he dropped his arms because he was tired; not because he wanted to look like a badass.

                                                    You can see how sluggish his strikes become midway through the second round.

                                                    That's because he had been leaving himself open to body shots.

                                                    He's got himself used to getting knocked out, taking punches and enduring pain. while not ideal, blacking out was part of the act, or at least appearing to black out and lower the other fighters guard.

                                                    Getting punched continually in the head can't be a good tactic though, surely? Better to avoid getting hit I would've thought.

                                                        ahahahhaa the point system does not at all favor this guy's style. Whenever he instinctively pulls out his wushu, which is focused more on quick-targeted blows to weak points rather than powerful body blows, he gets violations.

                                                        Also, he doesn't bother trying to dodge half the blows thrown at him: (kicks, he just turns his knee inward instead of dodging or blocking. Punches to the face, he just drops his forehead, etc...) which costs him a stupid number of points.

                                                        It's really funny that at the end of both fights the other dude looked like he was dying and the monk is like "yeah whatever."

                                                        The point system should be entirely remade to only give points for acts of badassness like this.

                                                        MMA has a lot of problems in this way. I know a guy who ran a martial arts school for over a decade and doesn't enjoy MMA. His martial art isn't represented in the sport because most of the attacks are intended to be lethal (back of the head, etc) and of course illegal in MMA.

                                                              It's because he had his chin tucked. You'd be surprised how hard you can get hit when you keep chin like that.

                                                              Easy to learn too. Personally I used to practice by holding a golf ball under my chin while shadow boxing and training.

                                                              exactly. While I certainly won't knock the guy's toughness, he's no idiot. he knew if he kept his chin tucked he would most likely not get KOd. That's Yi Long if I remember right

                                                              I saw this fight awhile back and it's a shame he lost, he was a bad mofo, but the showing off stuff like that clip is why.

                                                              It's great if you can knock the other guy out, but if you can't finish him, you're guaranteed to lose on points.

                                                                Leverage I think. It keeps your head from moving around as violently when you're hit. If you ever spar regularly, you get the message pretty quick.

                                                                I got an idea, try this: Keep your chin tucked and try to hold your head still. Simultaneously try pushing your head left or right.

                                                                Now try the same thing without your chin tucked. You shoud notice it's less difficult to move your head, and your head moves a lot more. This will get you concussed pretty quick if someone hits you hard enough in the right spot.

That's when he starts pretending to be all knocked out and stuff so the other guy lets down his guard, but it looks like it was just sorta confusing for him.

Only difference here to normal man doing it is people applaud it as a feat of strength because they believe he can only do this because of his 'shoalin monk' status.
