The Epic Failure of Empty Force - the No-Touch Knockdown Con
I have been warning about the martial con men for 15 years -- the teachers who claim to use "Empty Force" -- or chi -- to knock down students without touching them.
First of all, they completely misunderstand what Kong Jin, or "empty force" actually means, but they throw in dishonesty because they know students who really need to belong to the group will play along.
But what if some martial artists don't play along? What happens? This is what happens. Every time.
