There have been an incredible number of downloads of the Genki Sudo video. However, there appear to be many questions. I will attempt to answer them in one post. And yes I know there will still be skeptics when I am done, that's your right and your job. However, you do have the responsibility to actually investigate with an open mind and corroborate before you criticize anything in life. Can you say Newsweek?
First of all, it is real. The TV crew brought Genki Sudo to us. We did not know who they were bringing until they showed up, he was not part of any act, and frankly we did not even know who he was. His job was simply to determine if it was real. Ever since our first demo on ABC's ﾂ"Wide World of Sportsﾂ" in the 1970's people have not believed. Consider yourselves part of the majority. I could tell you many stories of the demo team from the 1970's. But if you do not believe these simple little TV demonstrations 30 years later, you would lock me up and throw away the key upon hearing the feats that were performed in the 1970's.
Second, it is a skill, and much like break falls it can be learned. There are no tricks. We do not ﾂ"suck our testicles into a body cavityﾂ". If you see movement, it is a result of the impact, not us flinching. In fact, we teach just the opposite in a combat situation. It is simply coordinating the mind, body and breath. Sudo's kick was in fact lifting Kevin off the ground. The drills you see on the Discovery channel sequences are just that, drills, baby steps for getting over the fear of being hit. Remember what it was like learning how to fall? The odd result of this training, we rarely bruise anymore. And yes, these guys have children and are still active.
Third most asked question, why? Unfortunately the TV shows are only interested in our ki-jutsu. Ki-Jutsu is a very, very small part of what we do, it is only taught once a year. We train in many arts, from Ju Jutsu and karate, to weapons. In our training we are not foolish to believe our techniques and skills will be perfect in a combat situation. In a fight blocks are missed, opponents are stronger, surprise is an element, but having trained in combat ki, we know that we can walk thru an attacker and finish our technique despite being hit.
Finally, check out this link for a published quote from Curtis Wong on combat ki: http://jukoryu.com/php/ Recognize any names there? Are they reliable witnesses? Anyone care to contact them and call them liars?
For those that still do not believe, we have been through this with each generation. We have a lot of video and many, many people have tried to prove us wrong. We have video of Masaaki Satake (K-1), ﾂ"Bigﾂ" Joe Hess, Antonio Emay (Ultimate Fighter), Ed ﾂ"too tallﾂ" Jones (NFL), Randy White (NFL), Hershel Walker (NFL), Mike Saxton (NFL punter), Wes Bender (NFL), Rich Piana (1998 Mr. California) and many more. How many more is it going to take? And yes, we know, YOU haven't hit us yet.
It is easy to judge from behind your keyboard, our challenge to you: get out from behind your keyboard and then decide. Find a dojo to train at.

Stunts are not skill
Frankly, it's just stupid to train you're balls to get hit when you are prepared for it. If you are in a fight and you get hit in the balls, throat or wherever, the fact is that you weren't prepared for it. If you were prepared you would most likely be able to dodge\block it. Suddenly this practice doesn't make any sense anymore... And why don't any of these guys get hit in the face, the place someone preferably would hit you? The reason is that you would break you're nose or loose a tooth. Maybe they could ignore the pain, but they wouldn't be able to hide the crooked nose or blood. All this is just showing off, trying to look tough.
Furthermore; getting hit in the balls sucks, hit hurts like hell, but it takes a LOT more then you'd think to break em'. They are actually pretty hard. If hit, the testicles would retract into the body to prevent further damage, and heal. Sometimes they get stuck and you need a nasty medical procedure... Anyway, it takes a lot to actually permanently damage the balls, because the balls are the body's most valued possession (from an evolutionary view). So yeah, you could get hit hard in the balls and just handle the pain, even tough it takes a lot of control. But if you are in a fight and punches are flying everywhere and you suddenly get hit in the balls, you won't get to make that hissing noise and find you're inner peace. No way. You would get on you're knees and start vomiting up you're dinner.
This is just useless showmanship, they've lost their focus on true goal of self defens, simply because you never need to be prepared to get hit in the balls, throat or kidneys.
A guy asked Bruce Lee this once:
Mr. Lee, Kung Fu is really something! Recently I witnessed with my own eyes a Chinese master break a chopstick by jamming it on his own throat. Furthermore, he picked up a hammer and hit himself all over. Later he told the audience this is Ch'i (Ki in Japanese). How long does it take to learn it?
Roland Lee San Francisco
Bruce Lee responded:
What is this? Superman giving a demonstration? If so, why did he break the chopstick with his chin (excuse me, I mean his throat) himself? Why didn't he invite someone else to jam the chopstick on his throat? Again, why did this "performer" not invite someone to come out and smash him with the hammer---if the object is to show he can withstand pain(?)
If Gung Fu consists of the above, the end of this art is arriving. All the stunts and gimmicks the performer did in no way suggested his actual skill in this combatative art. If I were you, I would concentrate on efficient techniques and their application in sparring.
