I believe the students which play along are as dangerous as those self proclaimed masters themselves, they help the masters to keep their delusions alive and feed new students through demonstrations into the kult
After all the time these guys spend pretending to knock people out with their superpowers they must start to believe it because every time these guys get hit they’re like deer in headlights.
QotD: One can't really exist without the other. While the students are victims of the instructor, they are also feeding into the instructors delusion by playing along or letting themselves be convinced it is real.
I wonder if part of the reason why the students seem to just fall over during training is because of the etiquette of the uke in martial arts. In judo, the uke (the person being thrown) is supposed to allow the tori (the thrower) to perform the technique with minimal resistance. On its face, this makes sense, because in order to teach the technique, the tori needs to show it at its best, in order to show the students the "best case scenario". Also, in order to learn the movements, the student tori needs to successfully perform the technique on the student uke. This has the added benefit of making the tori look impressive when showing off the technique to spectators, and it is very ingrained in Japanese martial arts culture. However, I wonder if this etiquette might have extended too far in cases like qi martial arts. The student believes that he needs to "let" the sensei perform the technique, even if it doesn't work. This starts to build up the placebo effect in the student's mind, where he thinks the technique is actually working. I also think it might build up a similar effect in the sensei's mind, to the point where he goes and does stuff like this. Neither the sensei nor the pupil know that the technique doesn't work. I am not trying to say that tori-uke etiquette is bad, just that it might go too far sometimes.
Very good point, I think. Something else that strikes me in those "training" videos is, for his students to react to his "powers" the way they do, they actually need athletic ability. When you see them roll or fall spectacularly, you realize they must have had some kind of effective training at one point. For them to play along with this charade is even more baffling - unless you consider the tori-uke etiquette you just mentioned.
I love the extra context. This is the first time that I saw a fake get beat up and got me on the rabbit hole of watching fakes and frauds. The instructors bear the brunt of the issue. These students enable it for sure but they might be looking for community or something and might have been vulnerable when this instructor used some cult type behavior like love bombing or something. I'm fully convinced the instructors know what they are doing on some level.
The tragic thing is that in the first "fight", the real fighter was being gentle. He could've done much more damage, but tried to limit it as much as possible.
after the 1st hit&breakout you can even see him approaching master in a way where it looks like he wants to check that master is ok, then referee comes closer to do the same thing. The fighter raises his hand as gesture of "am not gonna hurt u" but is careful how to approach or if he should approach at all.
Sanae Kikuta is, to date, the only Japanese ADCC champion and one of the only guys with a catch-wrestling background to win ADCC gold. Actually trained in high school with none other than Tiger Mask himself, Satoru Sayama. I asked him about it on Facebook and he was cool enough to respond and tell me about what it was like training at Super Tiger Gym. If someone reached out to ask him about this sumo match, I bet he'd respond.
@@laokon He never won ADCC gold. He hadn't reached his peak as a grappler when he did ADCC. I believe he lost to Ricardo Almeida and Mark Kerr. Don't quote me on that, I think Mark Kerr submitted him with an arm-lock. This was definitely at a point in his career where he hadn't fully developed his grappling game to the extent he did later on. He was still a beast, no doubt, but not yet the monster he came to be.
As much as I laugh at this guy for being a dumb conman, I do feel just a little bit bad that he has deluded himself into believing his own BS. Not enough to stop clowning on him for being a fraud of course, but enough to be like, "damn, he really should seek help"
Oh my god, I just looked it up, he wasn't just rocking the "wise-old master" look for effect, he really was 65 years old at the time of that first fight. Even if he WAS a legit martial artist, it's highly doubtful he'd have had much success anyway. That only makes his delusion worse, IMO.
I remember when I was younger me and my brothers all became blackbelt ninjas. We punished bad people, by searching the city each night. One of my older brothers was a genius and could track all bad people. We learned the martial art of the ninja by watching the master rat in a cage. Some green ooze made us grow and... Wait... I may be mistaken....on the ooze, its was neon green
I don’t understand why these students would commit themselves to a phantom martial art. All the time, effort & resources just flushed down the drain. What motivates them?
They want it to be real so they can learn to do it. They believe the master had chi that can make them fall over, so they genuinely fall over when the master waves his hand. I'm not saying it isn't anything less than nonsense on stilts, but i can see a way people get so emotionally invested in a system that they act in accordance with belief rather than reality.
Easy to answer, dan grades. Remember that the 'master' is the one who promotes the students and if you voice anything that he doesn't like you are thrown out, so you play along so that you can brag about your fake godan at twenty.
@zenbear9952 Similar to the faith healing, but not exorcisisms. Even if you are an atheist, you would have to admit that they are categorically different.
Great to watch this type of videos... and well the question: I think the instructors are worse. They take advantage of weak minded people and try to convince them they can be whatever they imagine...
To be fair, his students do seem to have decent kicking and punching techniques (you can see them in the background, and they sure have how to breakfall down, lol
There are some Japanese ki-gung guys that do some cool stuff - ringing the bell with their voice, and other tricks - but this guys seems to be the only one that believes it cures illness and gives him superpowers. I remember one of the ki masters saying, in the early 2000s, something like "I am not a fighter, and a competent judoka or boxer would trash me. Further, this is Ki I am talking about, it is just the movement of air and the body, it is not chi, the mystical forces that some talk about".
Nem misztikus erők ezek, a kun gfu alapja is ez! Sőt, mindenféle sportban nagy szerepet játszik és ad egy alapot a további képzésekhez! Önmagában nem elegendő ahhoz hogy harcolni vagy védekezni lehessen, ez még csak a kezdete valaminek, amit alap szinten is nehéz jól csinálni és azután szinteket lépni benne , lágyan- keményen - lágyan -keményen és végül összhangban másokkal. Tényleg nagyon sok gyakorlást igényel és segít a mozgás koordináció , a figyelem és a légzés összehangolásában , de még egyszer mondom, ez csak valaminek az alapja és valóban nem ad varázs erőt, mint ahogy azt sokan gondolják!
Hilarious fight at 6:50. After the first impression of master junagi, the guy in the white gi doesn't even see it as necessary to adopt a defensive stance.
That's a great question. I believe they are equally bad, the instructor for scamming people, and the students for not having enough integrity to call out the charlatan.
Always enjoy! Initially, I would say the instructors are for starting to teach such garage. And eventually the students who continue to feed the instructors delusions. Both are the worst!
I'd say it's moreso the teachers that are worse than the students. It's like you said, these kinds of instructors basically run cults, ones where they have all the power and are surrounded by other people. If a student goes in there, and they're surrounded by all these people that also seem to believe in this BS, then eventually they're going to start believing that it has to be true. After all, they probably paid money to be there, they probably want to feel strong or have a way of protecting themselves, and they're willing to accept that someone in this position of authority HAS to know some sort of secret if they're this popular. It's a psychological factor.
I personally think the instructors are definitely worse. The students are gullible and obviously have a desire to believe in something. The instructor takes advantage of this gullibility and need, giving them a fantasy to believe in.
I think it depends. Both instructors and their students are accountable for each other's behavior, especially with adults on either side. Yes, instructors should be respected, but that respect has to be earned and maintained. Actions vs words, yeah?
It's always the instructor as students are groomed to 'enable' them. While there is a reinforcement mechanic in place, you can't have the students without the instructor in the first place.
My experience in fighting is admittedly limited, having only been in a handful of fights in my 48 years, and from what I'm seeing I think even I can take Yanagi.
Very controlled spasms as well. Enough to rag them around like nobodys business, but not enough to stop them executing a perfect roll / break fall every time.
It's so bizzare, as someone who does Aikido and crosstrains Judo, to see people who do/claim to do Daito-ryu. For those unaware, Daito-ryu jujutsu was one of the styles that Aikido's founder trained in before making his own Budo, later called Aikido. It was always said that Daito-ryu was as legitimate and tough as other jujutsu of the era, and there's some evidence of that in other parallel styles to mainline Aikido, namely Tomiki and Yoshinkan. But i haven't been able to find a single video of someone claiming to do Daito-Ryu jujutsu/aikijujutsu that isn't just the worst bullshido nonsense, like this, that makes even the most flowery of Aikido folks cringe. Is it just charlatans stealing the name of an obscure but real style? Legit confused.
Did you notice that they are all black belts, so don't question the 'master', or you will be busted down to corporal. So they play along for their own advancement. Like it was mentioned in a previous video the seniors become instructors and they all teach their students to keep their tongues in the right position so that they can be beaten.
I say the instructors because sometimes a students come in not knowing anything and feel that this person has been teaching for so long and involved for so long who were they to question
I feel like this guy definitely was a student of another con-artist, but his old master never explained the grift to him, so he just kept believing in the bullshido
Like always great content and thank you for all your works good Brotha . But to answer your question, which is to me reminiscent of, what came first the chicken or the egg. Because the instructor at once was a student, but at some point, his instructor started the fantasy fighting mumbo-jumbo. And he was part of a student class that enabled that instructor to continue teaching non sense. However, I believe the instructor holds complete accountability because at some point ego gets involved and the overwhelming feeling of self grandeur takes over. And causes that instructor to feel that he’s separate from the “regular“ person or practitioner, because of his possible consistent training in the arts. Now he feels that he is developed “superpowers“ because of years, or perhaps decades of unchecked behavior and enabling praise by practitioners and audience alike. While on the other hand, the student comes to the instructor empty, full of hopes and aspirations due to whatever life circumstances lead them to that particular instructor and now they come to him as willing and eager participants to have an inadequacy of knowledge fulfilled by one, who they feel is capable of providing and instilling that information of the sought out knowledge . All students come to the teacher, knowing nothing with expectations of leaving with something. So in my humble opinion is completely the instructors fault and needs to be held accountable for teaching mumbo-jumbo Dojo horse boococky.
Rob, for the record Qigong is pronounced (CHI GONG) and it is only used to help oneself. It is an exercise that anyone can do provided that have had instruction for a qualified instructor to teach them first.
Seeing as you have a Dilman (sp?) ranking for the fakes, I think you should have a Xu XiaoDong ranking for the ones that are confronting the fakes. And for the legit schools/centres.
It's gotta be the instructors, they're the ones that start off feeding their students this bullshit. If it doesn't start with the instructor then it doesn't exist. That was some of the most disappointing sumo I've ever seen, I really expected more than that. The dude barely tapped him and he just fell over.
That’s like asking who’s worse, televangelist priests, or the people that keep sending them money. I think if the priest believes his own bs, as in this case, they’re equally culpable. If the priest is intentionally defrauding people, the priest is more culpable.
Hey, my name is Joel and I have to make a living, so if you are gullible enough I will feed off you. I can't be without my luxury cars, mansions and millions in the bank. Kenneth Copeland has got more jets than me and even that Dollar guy con more people.
There is a form of "Key Gong" that's very effective. You place a key in your fist so that the point sticks out between the fingers, then you hold the gong in front of you as a shield. Using this form of "Key Gong", you can inflict serious injury on an attacker while protecting yourself from punches and kicks. An even more lethal system exists and is practiced by many militaries around the world. It's known as "Gun Fu", the art of projecting small pieces of lead at very high velocities. It is a touchless system capable of defeating an opponent at considerable distances. Master Yanagi demonstrated a less effective martial art called "Play Do" which translates as "the way of pretend". 😁
I really wish I could fight one of those chi masters one day, not to beat them to a pulp no, but to play their game, prentend the chi blasts are working on me for a while to see their reaction before I win(cuz well...1m yen is not a bad value, I'd take that) And even after the win continue to play the game and tell them the chi blasts really hurted and I felt like it was a close match or something. Just to see what type of effect it would have on a person like that, cuz "it worked on someone outside their dojo." Because I'm fascinated by psychology studies as I am by martial arts.
@@ArkhBaegor Well, it's sure to make the old chi master happy though even if he looses. But this is just a thought anyways, it could be dangerous to enable a person like that even further as they might get hurt if they pick up a fight with someone who is sadistic.
You have to wonder, these guys really do have to believe in their "abilities" don't they? They can't just be hoping for luck to get them through. Whose worse? The Students, they've sacrificed their brains for some fantasy.
AotD: I think the teachers are to blame more than the students. Yes, in some contexts they could be enabling the cult teacher, but a teacher is supposed to guide and help students, not encourage them toward self-destructive behavior. Some people are susceptible to suggestion, and maybe I’m wrong but I think 100% of the time, it’s the teachers who say, “I’ve got chi powers” and not the students who go, “Hey coach, do you have chi powers?”

The saddest thing of all is the shattering of the illusion for his students. People who have followed this clown are now left confused about reality.
The moral of the story is always pay for your opponent to take a fall in advance...
As you can see, he drops down to his knees at the end, praying his opponent will stop, so he doesn’t have to exact vengence upon him
You can pay your opponent to take a fall, but you must also pay him to stay down, that's the secret of my success.
I wonder if part of the reason why the students seem to just fall over during training is because of the etiquette of the uke in martial arts.

I feel like this guy definitely was a student of another con-artist, but his old master never explained the grift to him, so he just kept believing in the bullshido
Like always great content and thank you for all your works good Brotha . But to answer your question, which is to me reminiscent of, what came first the chicken or the egg. Because the instructor at once was a student, but at some point, his instructor started the fantasy fighting mumbo-jumbo. And he was part of a student class that enabled that instructor to continue teaching non sense. However, I believe the instructor holds complete accountability because at some point ego gets involved and the overwhelming feeling of self grandeur takes over. And causes that instructor to feel that he’s separate from the “regular“ person or practitioner, because of his possible consistent training in the arts. Now he feels that he is developed “superpowers“ because of years, or perhaps decades of unchecked behavior and enabling praise by practitioners and audience alike. While on the other hand, the student comes to the instructor empty, full of hopes and aspirations due to whatever life circumstances lead them to that particular instructor and now they come to him as willing and eager participants to have an inadequacy of knowledge fulfilled by one, who they feel is capable of providing and instilling that information of the sought out knowledge . All students come to the teacher, knowing nothing with expectations of leaving with something. So in my humble opinion is completely the instructors fault and needs to be held accountable for teaching mumbo-jumbo Dojo horse boococky.
Rob, for the record Qigong is pronounced (CHI GONG) and it is only used to help oneself. It is an exercise that anyone can do provided that have had instruction for a qualified instructor to teach them first.
Thank god wanderlei didn't fight this old sensei.
@ 0:09 Best bad guy ever! 🙂
Well, explanation is simple: two guys had not enough skills to be beaten by Mr. Yanagi and he simple give up himself to save their lifes 😀
He really believed in his power, yes it’s kinda sad to watch n feel embarrassment for him in front of his students
Did the old men actually believe in his own BS?? I mean, how did he agree to a fight???
Seeing as you have a Dilman (sp?) ranking for the fakes, I think you should have a Xu XiaoDong ranking for the ones that are confronting the fakes. And for the legit schools/centres.
Self delusion is a dangerous thing!
I'd watch out, he might use his powers to Qi your car.
Yanagi is a grandmaster in Dunning Kruger Fu. 🤣Basically.
It's gotta be the instructors, they're the ones that start off feeding their students this bullshit. If it doesn't start with the instructor then it doesn't exist.
That was some of the most disappointing sumo I've ever seen, I really expected more than that. The dude barely tapped him and he just fell over.
That’s like asking who’s worse, televangelist priests, or the people that keep sending them money. I think if the priest believes his own bs, as in this case, they’re equally culpable. If the priest is intentionally defrauding people, the priest is more culpable.
Gullible, weak people are easy to scam.
Hey, my name is Joel and I have to make a living, so if you are gullible enough I will feed off you. I can't be without my luxury cars, mansions and millions in the bank. Kenneth Copeland has got more jets than me and even that Dollar guy con more people.
There is a form of "Key Gong" that's very effective. You place a key in your fist so that the point sticks out between the fingers, then you hold the gong in front of you as a shield. Using this form of "Key Gong", you can inflict serious injury on an attacker while protecting yourself from punches and kicks. An even more lethal system exists and is practiced by many militaries around the world. It's known as "Gun Fu", the art of projecting small pieces of lead at very high velocities. It is a touchless system capable of defeating an opponent at considerable distances. Master Yanagi demonstrated a less effective martial art called "Play Do" which translates as "the way of pretend". 😁
Or you can just say 'ning'
@giancarloabrahams
I challenge you to step into the octagon with me. Not now, of course, because of my shoulder.
Atleast Yanagi showed up for a real match, unlike many of the Dilman types we know well
Students want to become instructors so I think they're all dangerous. It's the ones with charisma that can live the dream of being Kung fu jeebus.
I really wish I could fight one of those chi masters one day, not to beat them to a pulp no, but to play their game, prentend the chi blasts are working on me for a while to see their reaction before I win(cuz well...1m yen is not a bad value, I'd take that)
And even after the win continue to play the game and tell them the chi blasts really hurted and I felt like it was a close match or something.
Just to see what type of effect it would have on a person like that, cuz "it worked on someone outside their dojo."
Because I'm fascinated by psychology studies as I am by martial arts.
Make it seem like your dodging his chi blasts and live out your dragon ball fantasy, I dig it.
@@ArkhBaegor Well, it's sure to make the old chi master happy though even if he looses.
But this is just a thought anyways, it could be dangerous to enable a person like that even further as they might get hurt if they pick up a fight with someone who is sadistic.
I meanI have to respect the guy for getting on the mat and actually putting his body on the line despite being full of shit.
Hes excuse for lost.. age finally caught up with him 😅
How did the students rationalise the cost of lessons? Delusional or karate larping?
You have to wonder, these guys really do have to believe in their "abilities" don't they? They can't just be hoping for luck to get them through. Whose worse? The Students, they've sacrificed their brains for some fantasy.
AotD: I think the teachers are to blame more than the students. Yes, in some contexts they could be enabling the cult teacher, but a teacher is supposed to guide and help students, not encourage them toward self-destructive behavior. Some people are susceptible to suggestion, and maybe I’m wrong but I think 100% of the time, it’s the teachers who say, “I’ve got chi powers” and not the students who go, “Hey coach, do you have chi powers?”
The lowrez pic of the master wearing robes and holding beads is comical. Also, your pronunciation is usually pretty on point man!
