Do you think all Chinese martial arts are bullshit or do you think there was a time where there existed warriors that could kill people with punches and kicks? People that could pierce your chest with their fingers.

pure bullshit. but monk warriors were real and trained armed and unarmed combat.
Kayden Butler
You can still kill people with punches and kicks but no one has ever done dumb shit like the touch of death
Jacob Lee
touch of death is placement anyway - you punch them square in the solar plexus
Josiah Lee
But what about getting your fingers strong enough to pierce a chest? Is that even possible?
Brody Cruz
No. It's not possible to have fingers that are able to pierce through bone. You don't need to, anyway - punching someone hard enough in the chest can crack their sternum or bruise their heart which will end a fight right away
Nicholas Scott
What about the flesh that doesn't have bone behind it?
Angel Hughes
Bruce Lee could punch your dumb ass from one inch away lol
I'm sure some of it is exaggerated from movies but if you've ever studied martial arts at all you'd notice there's some truth to it
Josiah Howard
A proper kick in martial arts can transfer close to 1000 kg if theyre highly trained.
The finger stuff would probably just snap your own fingers though
Nathan Brown
It's actually a bit terrifying how small force from a punch or a kick might kill you if you just have bad luck.
But at the same time human life can be very tenacious eg. getting shot in the head several times and surviving.
Ayden Fisher
Ive seen alot of Shaolin monk documentaries and honestly I don't doubt it for a minute that at one time it was common place at one time.
Bentley Reyes
You may draw blood by cutting them with your nails, but you could hardly call it "penetrating" or "piercing". Your fingers are not nearly strong enough to actually punch through, regardless of technique.

yeah I think all these martial arts are pretty bullshit

A lot of styles have been extremely watered down nowadays since most of it was adapted for choreography. They teach those in a lot of western schools. However, I have to add that it isn't so much of the martial art itself than it is the practitioner. A good example of a great martial artist is Donnie Yen; while he's an actor, he did manage to take on 8 guys and send them all to the hospital. I have no doubt that in the past, there were droves of people as skilled as this.
Christian Garcia
they were athletes of an ancient era.
I'd assume an exceptional few could kill with small movements, probably assassins.
most of those techniques are lost now, many schools admit there are forbidden techniques that aren't passed down.
this is because they want to make money, not create real lethal weapons that will give them a bad name.
Christian Ramirez
Isn't it more important not to let the knowledge be lost forever?
Ian Kelly
I'd imagine it was mainly used for civilian street fighting and theater stunts.
Jeremiah Fisher
havent you guys seen Ninja Assassin? the Asian Male is a most potent weapon when trained and honed properly.
Christian Rivera
someone never saw IP man or any of the hundreds of movies they made based on Yip Man.
they used to beat each others asses over the techniques and schools and who had the rights to do what and teach what.
Nicholas Evans
>kill people with punches and kicks
Anyone can do this user. What are you talking about?
Joshua Williams
Of course I saw the movies, I am saying why would these teachers let their techniques become completely forgotten just to prevent someone from "misusing" the knowledge when they can be taken down by one gunshot?
Landon Fisher
The one inch punch is a meme. You can't just willpower the extra force you get from the momentum in a full punch.
Christopher Lopez
There's some old Korean dude teaching taekwondo in my town, he's one of the highest-ranked Tae-Kwon-Do masters in Europe and trained US soldiers in Vietnam. There are lots of urban legends about the guy, the most popular being that he used to work as a bouncer and killed someone in a fight. Considering how amazingly agile and fit he is for a man in his late 70s, almost everybody believes it has happened.

someone who did karate can stand their own in a fight against someone who didn't assuming they aren't ridiculously physically outmatched or the other person doesnt otherwise have experience with fighting
furthermore it's about discipline and philosophy
James Garcia
This sounds so unbelievable, that I'd like to call it BS.
>So Bruce Lee owes his master feat in part to a beefed-up glob of white matter. But that doesn't diminish the grandeur of the one-inch punch one bit.
Hahaha, sounds like those memes.
>tfw too big brained for punching normally
