These pressure point, no touch, Kung Fu, ninja type instructors are basically cult leaders. The students believe them because they so badly WANT to believe them, and they basically get hypnotized. When they go down because of the 'chi force' they really do feel that shit and think they're being knocked on their ass. Try it against someone who isn't mentally conditioned to believe it's going to work, and it won't work. This is why it's absolutely crucial that you train in something that can be tested against a fully-resisting opponent. Otherwise you're just hypothesizing, and most of the time coming up with the wrong answers.
As most of us guys know, there's nothing that punctures your self-delusions quite like a sudden fist in the face.
