Back story on it.
Aikido master put out a challenge for $5000.00 that his Aikido could beat any MMA fighter. There's video on youtube of this aikido master fighting his students knocking them out and throwing them around without touching them, kinda like Dim Mak.
Anyways, the MMA figther takes up the challenge. You can actually see even in that shitty clip, the Aikido master is shocked he got punched in the face. It's hilarious.

Often you will come across students of a martial art that practice to go along with their opponent rather then fighting certain actions; and when a throwing action is perceived as being the next action, such often spawns bad habits like over extensions that can cause some students as to lose their balance and or footing to the extent that a controlled fall can often ocurre without any noticeable or logical reason and often the "thrower" is seen to have "special" skills... what is even worse is that some teachers and or practitioners let such go their heads and shoot off their mouths and end up getting owned!
I have "thrown" individuals, but again I have thrown myself in practice and have actual experience with this kind of effect. Aikido extends their opponents as to exploit such actions for controlling reasons. This is not magic and it is worth mentioning that Aikido is not the only art that experiences similar effects.
