George Dillman

George Dillman

George Dillman is a martial arts instructor who is controversial due to his claims regarding the use of pressure points and "Knockout" Chi.

He refers to the art of using pressure points as Kyusho jitsu. He calls his style of karate Ryukyu kempo tomari-te.

The Kyusho-jitsu controversy

In September 2005, National Geographic Channel's Is It Real? program (episode 20) asked for a demonstration of his "Knockout" Chi (a no-touch knockout technique), during which a Kyusho-jitsu instructor was unable to knock-out Luigi Garlaschelli, an Italian skeptical investigator from CICAP. Dillman's explanation of the failure was as follows:

“The skeptic was a totally non-believer. Plus – I don't know if I should say that on film – but if the guy had his tongue in the wrong position in the mouth, that can also nullify it [chi power] . You can nullify it – you can nullify a lot of things. In fact, you can nullify it if you raise those two big toes! If I say I'm going to knock you out, and you raise one toe, and push one toe down....I can't knock you out. And then, if I go to try again, you reverse it. If you keep doing this, I won't knock you out. [Polidoro, M. [http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m2843/is_/ai_n27925884 Just like Jedi knights] "Skeptical Inquirer", May/June 2008, p. 21]
