Aloha HF;
Yes I am somewhat familiar with Soke Rod Sacharnoski and technics of absorbing blows to the body. Many Buddhist Monks also demonstate something similiar. It is not something I'm interested in, but it is there. Not nearly as entertaining as the Iron Crotch demonstration. Myself I have always enjoyed the sword. Of late I have been learning Tai Chi Sword Form and find it alot of fun and energizing.
I was hoping you might prove something instead of qouting papers and reports
and web pages that other people have written or spoken. Do you actually believe all this overload of information and just pass it on as proof?
My personal experience says that when people get involved trying to communicate scientific research or technology and think they have something, for anyone else it is like cracking a code to make it work. Some people can do the work and make it happen, most can't.
You rattle off all these references but have demonstrated nothing to me other than your librarian skills.
You want some earth shaking research to conduct, I'll wager there is something on your desk, staring you in the face that would do this very thing but is not seen.
Don't get me wrong HF, I'm not criticizing you but if you truely want to find this gifted individual to research you will have to define your target a little better than hoping he/she falls out of the sky. Do you want to know how they achieve what they do or do you want to put them in the circus?
Everything that can easily be explained away, is it really that easy to do?
The truth might set you free but it doesn't get the work done.
Even if you have a burning vision in your mind of what you want, it takes work to get it into your hands.
I see magic all the time but at it's root it is all very mechanical. Today I saw a music video of Inxs and their new singer. Just a mess of guys with instruments and a mics. When the music started I thought it was magic.
The whole is greater than the sum of it's parts.
OK, you really got me with the reality gravity thing. I give up.
