I took a Hammer Fist

RomanceDawn

Hey guys! Some of you may know I am a martial arts student and teacher at the National Wushu Training Center in California. Today we had a special guest, Glen Levy, a man who has appeared on fight science for Discovery Channel many times.

I was his test dummy throughout the seminar and eventualy he taught us the hammer fist. Very similar to bruce lee's one inch punch. Except you aren't forced away, the entire impact just spreads through your body as it stays still. Absolutely devastating. Highest possible recording was 12,000 PSI befor the machines were destroyed by its power. A pro boxer's punch is 2,000 PSI, the difference is obviously huge.

Needless to say I felt it today, but only 1/16th of the power, though it happend about 2 hours ago from when I typed this, I am not kidding when I say I can still feel it now. There was an anitial strike, Ididnt go anywhere, and then all of a sudden it was as if cluster bombs went off inside my body. It was the most powerful thing I had ever felt in my life. As I stumbled to the floor, I tried to get up as soon as possible and jokingly say "was that your best shot" But man, I couldnt speak or move properly. It was incredible, I have never nearly lost my life befor, but I could only describe it as being shot, and dying.

I will post a video in the next day or two. My students and classmates told me it was scarey to watch. The anticipation alone was almost horrifying. But I had to justify his teachings, and feeling is believing.

Here is a video of my teacher Eric Chen, who took one the day before. Its on youtube now.

If that doesnt work just type in Hammer Fist Demo HD, and look for the guy on his knees on a blue carpet.

Tell me what you think guys I cant wait to show you my video. I havnt even seen it myself.

One final note, when Luffy took that finale Rokuou Gun from Lucci, thats what I could have imagined it felt like.

Here is my video

nice video, im still rather sceptical about its effect and technique involved…..

only because i have seen alot of similar stuff before

it reminded me of the impact from someone that has trained in iron palm, small efficient amount of energy causing massive force of impact

have you got any other videos that i can study?

also have you asked him if he has conditioned his hands using iron palm training?

RomanceDawn

No hand conditioning like one would think. When the technique is done right, you feel absolutely nothing in your own hands. The discovery channels scientists say by all logic the hand itself should explode, and so far it scientificly isnt explained.

@LongFist:

Hmmmmm…..very interesting indeed, i wonder how it displaces the energy so well around the body? i wonder if it had something to do with the point he hit you on, maybe the pain arteries increase pressure causing damage to effect the entire body, although if that were the case im surprised you didn't suffer a heart attack or die

you have left much to think about :wassat:

im still finding it hard to believe personally...

Wagomu

That's what they say. I'm sure there's a logical explanation, though. If I knew more about the technique, I could probably figure it out.

Quite awesome, though. It's unfortunate how the art of fisticuffs has lost a lot of its worth with the advances in weaponry.

Although I'm naturally forced to be skeptical, I don't want to be. O_O
I had no idea such a supernatural-seeming technique was doable by humans… it's just too amazing.

Not to sound like a total anime nerd, but I'm definitely reminded of Rurouni Kenshin's Futae no Kiwami technique, whereby through two instantaneous strikes (of the 2nd knuckles, and then the 3rd), an object's resistance is neutralized, and the full force of the second blow is spread throughout the object's resistance-less entirety. The execution and premise is obviously different, but I couldn't help thinking of that. To think such a technique could occur in real life is unbelieveable.

Thanks for the video.

RomanceDawn

I will have a video of when it happened to me by tomorrow. If you watch fight science, the guy who did it to me, Glen Levy explains allot about it. It really is fascinating. And even today, I can still feel it.

Sakonosolo

I'm not sure if it's the same guy or technique (Fight Science was a special wasn't it?), but I watched Fight Science and this hit a dummy and the impact was recorded. The people watching the recorded date said if you got hit by it, it'd be like getting into a car crash at 60 mph :blink: .

Some scary stuff. It'd be a good technique to teach to soldiers, though, for hand-to-hand combat.

RomanceDawn

Here I am when I get hit, take a look at the very last 10 seconds or so to see me get hit in slow motion.

Dark Lord Zenigame

…dude, the look on your face... XD

Don Quichotte De Flamingo

your video is removed…can`t see it :sad:

but it`S amazing how much power could be produced in just 1 hit...rly the art of fighting:blink:

12,000 PSI?!??!?!!

RomanceDawn

Here is the video. It was edited slightly. But just look at my face in super slow motion at the last 15 seconds. That says it all.

LeeWii

Makes me think shigan is plausible. like a more concentrated version, on the finger instead.

Malintex_Terek

Holy wow dude.

Holy wow.

What style do you practice? I had no idea real martial artists could inflict THAT MUCH POWER. CHEESE AND CRACKERS. o_o

@Malintex_Terek:

That's what I said.

I study longfist wushu. But wushu is just the general term for all chinese martial arts. What you see in Crouching Tiger hidden dragon, Jet Li's Fearless, House of flying daggers, thats what I learn. And as flashy as it all is, there is an application for everything.

When most people say kungfu thats usualy what they refer to. They type of energy he released inside me is practiced in almost every culture, but its all focused in one area or another. Like Chinese call it Chi, Japanese Ki, and it goes on and on.

The CP9's Tekkai, and Shigan are all defenitly real techniques that inspired Oda. But Don't expect too many people to be pulling of Geppu(is that it?) or Soru any time soon.

If you watch the Shoalin Monks of China you can see their Tekkai, their steel hard skin techniques. Or even their Shigan, training their fingers to act like darts that can pierce the human skin like nothing. Bruce Lee was capable of it, and thanks to him and the guy who hit me, these are men who approached martial arts as a science and not just a religion.

The human body is amazing!

First thing that springs to mind when i see claims like this is that clip of an old Kiai master who got his ass whooped badly when he tried to use it on an actual fighter.

Yoska

Yeah, it looks cool and all (thanks for sharing!) but stuff like this always comes down to somebody saying "if this is supposed to be so effective then how come it's never used in MMA matches?". It was an interesting and funny video nonetheless.

I just saw that clip.

What the heck was going on?

In the earlier clip he was waving his hands and people were falling over, but the MMA guy comes in and uses normal techniques and he falls like a brick.

Was it all staged?

Think of the rope-a-dope.

Just because people know the technique doesn't mean they have the ability to use it properly.

RomanceDawn

It's illegal to do it on people. He used a super small portion of it on me. At to answer your question, those cage fighters don't know how to do it. Most of their training doesn't center on that type of thing. Glen Levy, the guy who did hit me was a cage fighter, but I doubt he ever used it in the ring only because you would most defenitly kill someone in the middle of a fight.

He told me, when he did it on me and there was that bit of setup, he had to calculate how much he could do. As to tone it down. But in the middle of a fight there is no small set up and it goes off like a bomb.

@Malintex_Terek:

That or there was some really bad chi in there thats blocking his attacks.

And when you say illegal do you mean as there is an actual law against using this proven deadly technique or as in the forbidden technique you never can use ala anime? Cause if i actualy saw a police report that showed someone actualy was killed or crippled by this hammer fist you would convert me right away. Otherwise im gonna stick with my notion of sheenanigans.

This is one of the coolest things ever. Any info on this punch? I'd love to use it in some of my comics, so I'd love to learn as much imagery and info on it as possible.
