Kiai Master Gets Owned

the kiai master in the clip offered $5000 to anyone who could beat him in a fight. he thought he could do the old 'knocking people out without contact' lark and use his chi.
didn't work with this mma fighter.

Funny. I wonder if his students all believed that they were actually being manipulated by his chi, or if they were just playing along. I also wonder if his students were playing along for so long that the master actually started to believe he was invincible. Kind of like the tent revivals where the preacher drops the whole crowd with the waive of a hand - because they all want to believe they can be dropped with the waive of a hand. Groupthink reinforcing groupthink.

Either way, you could tell he wasn't used to being hit...

At the end of the vid, the fighter who won is shouting for someone to call an ambulance in Japanese. Good on him for actually wanting to stop the fight after he got the first hit in and caused the nosebleed.

I can only assume the old "master" was just plain delusional. He basically bought into his own BS and I guess really thought he could hit people with chi. What I'm boggled about is how many students he has who are actually willing to play along with his "chi" strikes and fall over any time he gestured at them! I mean, at what point do you stop and go, "Wait, I'm paying this guy for lessons?!?"
