Exposing Fake Martial Artists

[Music] in the name of self-defense taking down an attacker with a single punch is a unique life-saving skill taking down attackers with just the power of your mind well that seems a little far-fetched martial artists have claimed boasted about and built businesses upon all kinds of fate techniques so called karate dojos have promoted pressure point knockouts kung fu masters have misled followers with unbeatable moves that don't really work and some martial arts gurus have even claims to wield extraordinary powers like being able to knock out opponents without so much as laying a finger on them while the martial arts industry has thousands of reliable reputable people and techniques the number of fakes out there is far greater than we would ever have guessed back in 2015 a New York man named Jake wheras was throwing out audacious claims that he was a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and fought under the world-famous GF team however the amateur moves that Jay was teaching far from matched his elite credentials so the BJJ police YouTube channel decided to put him to the test and see if there was any truth to Jake whereas his outlandish words Mike Palladino who is the founder of evolution grappling Academy and a legitimate jiu-jitsu blackbelt paid a visit to Kiara's his gym to confront the man himself when Mike asked Jay to spar with him for a couple of minutes Jay refused from that point it was clear once the truth came to light that he was a fraud Jays gym was shut down and for good reason without knowledgeable training his students were exposed to risk and serious injury Jay is just one of the many so-called martial arts experts recently coming to light as no-good fakes but why are martial arts frauds on the rise it goes back to the outbreak of kung-fu cinema the Bruce Lee style films created an aura of fantasy around martial arts they brought mass attention to the industry and whenever something is popular there will always be people trying to scam money out of it thus began the rise of fake money hungry martial arts trainers pretending to be a black belt when you're evidently not that's one level of fraud that would anger legitimate professionals all over the world but pretending to have a superhuman telekinetic martial arts ability that doesn't invite anger that invites laughter and ridicule this is George Dillman most famous martial arts teachers in the world for all the wrong reasons Dylan is a member of black belt magazines Hall of Fame and was named black belt magazines martial arts instructor of the year in 1997 but when you hear the techniques he's promoting you'll ask yourself why Dylan managed to convince dozens of his students that he could knock down and even knock out opponents without even touching them a technique which he referred to as the Chi so in September of 2005 National Geographic put his claims to the test on their show is it real the host asked for a demonstration of Dillman's famous no-touch knockout the technique evidently had no effect however Tillman dismissed the failure citing the non-believer as the reason behind its failure apparently also if the victim had his tongue in the wrong position in his mouth then the Chi would be nullified right as far as science is concerned Chi does not exist besides being described as an incredibly difficult co-worker Hollywood action star Steven Seagal is regularly touted as a fake in his heyday Steven was one of the biggest martial arts stars in the industry in real life it was another story sure Seagal earned a legitimate 7th dan ranking in Aikido but as many critics including UFC commentator Joe Rogan have pointed out that doesn't mean much at the core of aikido is the intention for one to defend themselves while also protecting their attackers from injury that's a good indication as any to its effectiveness Aikido relies on joint locks and the redirection of momentum and is considered mostly useless unless the opponent is running directly at you if there is no momentum then how can you use it to your advantage Joe Rogan has come out and said it would never work against a trained fighter never not in a million years even though there's a significant disconnect between Aikido and UFC Seagal has claimed in the past that he actually taught a lot of well-known fighters everything they knew including Anderson Silva bogus claims no doubt this does not work while we're on the topic of Aikido let's swivel our attention to another man who's been swept up in plenty of controversy this is Yanagi ryu ken a man who has been described as a master of daito-ryu aikido and get this a man who claims to have psychic abilities check it out he has either mastered the art of mind control or there must be something in the water in his studio because all of science point to one conclusion fraud setup with nonsense like this and being promoted as truth 35 year old Japanese journalist and mixed martial artist Ewok karatsu Yoshi challenged ryuk into a fight back in 2006 and here's what happened as you can see it was never a fair fight Ryu can claim that his loss was due to his illness lacking full strength his psychic abilities were temporarily weakened he may have very well believed this facts but the wider community did not do we have any Jean Claude Van Damme fans in the house one of his most famous films bloodsport was based on the amazing story of one of the best fighters of all time Frank Dux Frank's story goes as follows as a teenager he was taken under the wing of a legendary fighter named Senzo Tiger Tanaka a world-famous teacher and 40th generation warrior tiger trained Frank in the art of ninjitsu before instructing his star pupil to compete in a no-holds-barred 60 round elimination secretive martial arts tournament known as the kumite which was held every five years while waiting for the next tournament to roll around Dux joined the Marines earned his Taekwondo black belt and mastered knife fighting after winning the kumite he joined the CIA and formed his own martial arts school thanks to bloodsport his story became well-known all over the world although there was just one problem he made it all up it was nothing but lies the LA Times uncovered the fraud calling it exactly what it was macho fantasy Frank isn't the only supposed martial artist master whose story's been twisted and exaggerated through clever use of the media john qian an irish kid from chicago soon became known as count dante aka the deadliest man alive older Marvel comics were regularly fitted with rather strange advertisements promoting count Dante within these ads which of course John Key and himself throat count Dante was declared as the master of the poison hand or Dimock fighting style the so called poison hand Arsenal consisted of vicious gouging scratching and clawing techniques targeted at pressure points nerve centers and vital organs of the opponent by following Dimock dante was promising to turn the readers into as was written word for word in these ads shocking human horror happens simply put anybody who mastered count Dante's techniques could subdue opponents with a single touch at first it seems that John Qian was simply using the martial arts craze of the 70s to sell his pamphlets and make a few bucks the general consensus is that there was little truth behind any of it but the more you look into him the more it seems as though he actually believed what he was writing he even rocked up on Muhammad Ali's house demanding a fight considering that John Qian was known to walk around with a pet lion nothing would be too ridiculous monks are typically calm and peaceful promoting serenity and prayer Shaolin monks on the other hand have a reputation for something far different remarkable physical feats and fighting abilities they have shown unwavering balance and impeccable core strength the truth is that many of these monks spent many hours a day honing their skills and rarely would they ever utilize their expertise for violence so when talk arose that Chinese professional kickboxer Yi long was both an MMA fighter and a Shaolin monk red flags were raised almost instantly after doing some digging shanghai-based MMA coach Ramsay Dewey called Yi long out stating that while he may have some kickboxing prowess that doesn't mean that his MMA or Shaolin monk claims have any substance whatsoever at the crux of it all yi Long's fake Shaolin monk background as a gimmick used to attract fans Yi long never trained in the Shaolin Temple he merely learned his skills at the Shanghai Sports University it goes without saying that for every effective martial art there's an equally ineffective one styles like sumo Wing Chun capoeira Tai Chi and Kung Fu have all been on the receiving end of controversy one Chinese MMA fighter jujin dong was getting fed up with all the martial arts masters who were claiming that their brand of training was elite so Joo called out one self-described kung fu master relay who was claiming supernatural powers it took all of 20 seconds for you to seal victory he then took down a Wing Chun master in less than two minutes within the opening round for all his efforts defrauding masters Joo was sued in 2019 for calling Tai Chi Grand Master Chen Juwan a fraud the Chinese Court ordered him to pay tens of thousands of dollars and to issue a public apology as if that weren't enough the government tanked his social credit rating to a point where he couldn't rent or own property or even buy plane tickets hmm as we move back to the world of Brazilian Jujitsu we encounter Rafael Torres another man whose story is full of lies Toure infiltrated MMA online circles and started bragging about his 14 a no record one he claimed to have created within underground pit fighting tournaments of course he didn't have any proof but people believed him oh and he was also claiming to be an ex-navy seal after his notoriety grew Tory caught the attention of Arab Sheik Thanh Nien bin Zayed Al Nahyan he invited Raphael to the Abu Dhabi combat Club to take on Beau Hershberger and within a minute Raphael conceded defeat then in 2001 Raphael took on heavyweight Ayoka tianyu in a professional MMA fight Tory ended up winning with a kneebar but it was obvious that he had paid his opponent to lose the compounding lies quickly unraveled from that point as another example of the no touch knockout failing spectacularly one kiyah master offered up $5,000 to any MMA fighter that could defeat him with most fighters realizing that the no touch theory was a crock of well you know take a peek at this video as you can see the MMA fighter has no trouble in taking down the supposed martial arts master putting him away within less than two minutes with absolute ease as soon as the first punch landed it was money in the bank have you ever personally witnessed a total fraud let us know who
