It's always amazed me how with proper training you can take serious blows to weak areas...but it takes serious training to do it...hats off to the guy with the funny lisp...I'm sure he handled his bullies well
Is this a fair question? Fight under what circumstances? In some form of sports competition, or in some other, possibly very different scenario? And has he made any claims that he is good at fighting under those particular circumstances? The primary goal of so called traditional martial arts is not to become "good at fighting", although a karate practitioner will be better than the average, untrained person, almost like a byproduct. The goal is often said to be to become the best version possible of yourself as a human being and member of society, or something like that. So if being good at fighting (whatever that means) is not his primary goal and he never made any special claims of that nature, your question is misdirected. Or?
This guy explains it well: th-cam.com/video/ErGMW4kIITE/w-d-xo.html Martial arts, fighting and self-protection are not the same. The confusion arises when people are not clear on what they are talking about. Unfortunately far too many martial arts instructors blur the lines, sometimes intentionally, bordering on fraud.
Missing the point mate. This is just a demonstration. He may have trained to toughen that part of his neck, and due to his training he's demonstrating that he can take a hit in that area. It is also showing you that if you train and focus that training on anything that you do, you too will be able to do something that one may not able to do. In his case, he's able to take a punch at one of the most vulnerable area of the human body, the throat. I.e. If someone tries to choke him, he's able to survive long enough to counter an attack. Again this is just one aspect that he may have trained to be able to take that punch along with his other training he may have done over the years.
It's funny. I used to be impressed by these types of displays, but now, when you realize that this is EXACTLY how Houdini died, it no longer impresses me. Still looks cool though
He was my Karate instructor
oh yeah?
Same! I know him! He taught me today actually!😊
Master Lingo Is Still Going Strong. And is One of the Best That I know of Today...
bluewildcat1968 i train under him today
Hanshi lingo is a very knowledgeable martial artist...an even better person
My instructor used to let ppl punch him in the throat when we were doing exhibitions back in the 70's and 80s.
Madness
@@richlee509 Yeah, I thought so too.

i look at this and i think... i don't want this for me
😂😂😂😂😂
So here is the question. Can he fight?
Let's put it this way, he can defend himself against unsuspecting would be aggressor. I can honesty tell you he is not a pretender.

Iron throat! whoa!
Do it with a ridge hand. These karate guys always chop when they should punch, the only time they should chop, they punch 😅
Martial arts are about sitting there and getting punched in the throat…

I hear you. It is dangerous.
Impressive.
Which style?
Doggy, when your attack blocked like this, you f***** up ^^ but idk which style maaaaaaaybe Karate?
GoJu Ryu
Is this Okinawan Goju or American Goju?
USA Goju
Wow that's dope
That's impressive
That's was awesome 👌
No disrespect but can anyone explain me, why he was snapping his fingers ? I did not really understand that tbh
I believe since he is holding his breath, this is the way he is counting to 3 to let the puncher know when to punch him.
I can tell you he is for real not a pretender.
Its an indication for the puncher to punch so that he can be prepared.
Goju ryu?
Now with the bat!
Bat will break
@@highsiderider You’re probably right 😬
