***CORRECTION***
As I was re-reading my post on ST9, I realized I was typing ahead of myself...Striking the carotid sinus will cause the brain to assume BP has risen sharply, therefore causing actual BP to crash, assisting in a potential knockout situation.
As far as using cold hard fact, as Zach mentioned--well, no, I've never actually hit someone @ St9 and waited to measure to resultant death , but the whole carotid sinus thing is kind of a given in the medical world. Yes, I am speculating on what would happen if I stuck a knuckle in somke bad guy's St9 with adequate force, but science also relies on hypothesis, and this one seems plausible. Anyone wanna volunteer for the double blind study?Mike Evans

I Didn't neceassarily say anything was credible, simply plausible. Whether looking from a TCM perspective or a western scientific perspective, there are theories on both sides that COULD support the alleged results. As we both seem to agree, this can be confirmed or denied without testing. Since noone stepped up to let me have a whack (and I'm damned sure not gonna volunteer ), I guess we're back to step 1.Mike Evans

Fox News Chicago did a follow up on the Ripley's story of the "Human Stun Gun". While the touch worked on his students, it didn't work on the reporter or the students from the Brazilian Jiujitsu School in chicago that they took him to. I think it was one of the Gracie's schools they took him to, but I'm not sure.
When asked why it didn't work he said it only worked on 40% of athletically inclined people.
I found a copy of the video on www.subfighter.com, but you have to join to watch it. It's pretty funny actually.
