Uplift wtf you talking bout. My sensi just held it above his head was stationary no movement of the feet. No pivotal movement what's so ever. Only the arms... If you mean when he raises up to strike of course you would here that. But notice Massaki hold it in place for a while this is done so movement can't be timed out.
My toes have never risen on a upswing. And my sensi rolled up his sleeves so you cant hear the noise the uniform might make. You guys have never picked up a broken. Stand shoulder width apart raise a broom,bat whatever above your head. You will see your toes don't rise.
I'll believe the baseball when I see a video. Sorry, but extraordinary claims need some proof. As for birds; they're not known for flapping their wings silently. Not to mention that you can feel a bird displacing air as it moves at you. Anyone with a preservation instinct and good reflexes can avoid a bird swooping at their head. If I heard flapping and felt air movement behind my head; I'd duck too.
I think we’re talking about a sixth sense here, as we know about the five: touch, taste, smell, hearing and sight. I’ve studied martial arts for decades, started with Wing Chun, over to Shaolin Chaun Fa Kung Fu, boxing (got to golden gloves), then a lot of Jeet Kun Do. I went to 3 ninjitsu camps (first one was put on by Steven Hayes!) that we’re six weeks in length. I’ve seen a LOT of cool shit, but I’ve also experience a lot of bullshit. I practiced Chi Kung for hundreds of hours trying to increase and control my chi, and I’ve seen visiting grandmasters ‘push people down’ using only their chi. This was the biggest case of emperors clothes I’ve ever seen: We’d all stand in a line and he would make his movements and everyone would fall when they are supposed to, except me. I didn’t feel shit no matter how many times he tried, and no matter how many dirty looks I received from my master. I couldn’t believe my friends in the class when they say they felt it when they fell, they wanted to believe it so badly. This was the start of me being turned off to this kind of thing, I didn’t sign up for bullshit. At the ninjitsu camps, we practiced what you are referring to, but I didn’t get nearly as advanced as you say; we would stand in the middle of a circle of people that we’re about two feet from us, and they would take turns pointing at the person in the middle who was blindfolded. They would raise their arms to point slowly, and we would try to point back at who we felt was pointing at us before they actually touched our head. I would rarely be able to sense who was close before they touched me, but some of the more experienced guys were impressive; they seemed to sense with good accuracy people’s pointing fingers that were about a foot away. But dodging baseballs blindfolded or hitting moving objects while blindfolded is not something any reasonable person would believe unless they saw it for themselves. So, I’m afraid it’s all hot air until some proof is offered. It's good to keep an open mind, but not so open that one's brain falls out...
Wow, I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes!
He raises the sword, and when he wants to hit someone he swings down immediately. When he wants the person to dodge before he swings there is a very small backswing of a few inches. Just watch the video, it's easy to see.
There is a level of compliance that is looked for when choosing an audience member to assist in a trick. That said however, most of the time, the chosen assistant is so unused to being in front of an audience, and not knowing always what is expected of them can be manipulated in many ways and even if a trick is blatantly exposed, they often will not recognize it and if they did, they will not say anything while onstage. There is also something called dual reality, where the spectator experiences a very different effect than the rest of the audience. The audience sees an astounding miracle but the effect was achieved with some help by the spectator although the in such a way that they are completely unaware that they helped the performer. Derren Brown has used this to great effect in some of his work.
It reminds me of the videos of 'real' demonic possession or the pentecostal whackos speaking in tongues.Wow, I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes!
I constantly get accused of not paying attention to the 'real evidence', and when I ask for it, invariably this is the type of crap I am shown. It's essentially the same for alternative medicine, anti-vax, GMO truthers, and ancient aliens. They point to a big steaming pile of crap and then, when no one wants to pay attention, they assume they must be onto something.Wow, I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes!
I think he meant the Sun and our Solar system, as he kept repeating Pluto. Since that star symbol is not intended to represent the Sun, it doesn't matter anyway...
So he doesn't even know the difference between a galaxy and a solar system? Just one more reason to reject his posts for the fatuous ramblings they are.
It wouldn't be so hard if there were actual, empirical evidence that led us to accept this premise. Otherwise it's all conjecture and wishful thinking. Why is it so hard to accept that at some point there were really fire-breathing dragons, or elves, or magical swords? Wish fulfillment is not a reason to believe in something.
You are committing at least 2 logical fallacies in this one post
Honestly, your depiction of prior civilizations are based on something that sounds cool, but your idea is much more supportable than aliens. We know so little about our past now, dates are continually being pushed back, and we know so little of mankinds history before 30-40,000 years. We were still human 200,000 years ago. Did we ever build civilizations that were completely destroyed? What if early civilizations were destroyed by a global cataclysm and only a few survived by living in caves and underground?
Prove it. Make a video, un-cut, un-edited, of someone throwing bricks up in the air while you hit them with throwing spikes while wearing a full face mask and blocked-out goggles.
If he can do that, he could be an instant millionaire.
