I’m sorry it took so long for me to see this.

Bill is a great guy.

Yes, there is probably lots going on. Why not ask Bill?

At a minimum, engery manipulation can cause this. I’m sure you’ve experience many things like this yourself in your 20 years of MA.

Since I didn’t experience this myself, I can’t comment knowledgeably, but I can say it is absolutely possible. And, it can be learned.

All the best.

I am writing to you here because your “Ask Kenrick” page didn’t take my question, and instead, brought me here to your Blog.

So, here’s my question, in the form of a story – to stay somewhat on subject.

I’ve been a Black Belt for about 2 decades now, and when it comes to martial arts, I’ve pretty much been there & seen that. So I’m not easily impressed.

Well, for years, I had been hearing about this one particular martial arts guy that was semi well known for a while back in the 80’s.

The “story” goes that he can move so fast that, from about 4 feet away (well out of range), that he can hit you before you ever see him move.

So naturally, when I had an opportunity, I went to check him out – and it gets even more frightening. Not only is that story true, but from even farther away, he can kick you in the head and you’d swear he never moved his foot – it is somehow just instantly in your face.

The thing is – he says he’s really not all that fast, and in fact, when you watch it back on video – he’s right!

It’s fast alright, but not so fast that it can’t be seen, or blocked,. The confounding thing is, that no one ever does.

Even though it looks more like a normally fast punch or kick – on video . . . when it is coming At YOU, it appears to be faster than anything you’ve ever seen. That is, if you even see it at all.

At first, I thought he might be zapping us with some sort of covert hypno thing. But we saw videos of him doing the same thing, in the ring, at top competitions. Right in the middle of the match he would, settle down, into a modest stance (seemingly out of range) and just start blasting them. He would pretty much hit them anytime he wanted.

They wouldn’t even “try” to block (at least not before getting hit).

It was like they didn’t even see anything coming – just like my experience, you’ll never see it even start move!

Of course, he makes some other weird things happen that also seem to defy physics. For example, with a 2 inch pad on your chest, he stands flat footed about 2 feet in front of you, and with a very relaxed arm, places a loose fist up against the pad, stands motionless for a moment – and BLAM! The next thing you know is your chest is in full spasm from the impact, you’ve been blasted back about 3-4 feet, and slammed into the wall behind you.

All this result – and he only extended his arm just a few inches.. He can even make you to block your own punches, or he presses your arms together in such a way that you can’t move.

Like I said, this stuff just seems to defy physics. Even so, he says everything is actually based on physics, it’s just that the principles & applications are well beyond what most people (and even Black Belts) understand.

The Reason I’m writing you, Mr Clevleand, is that there’s got to be some kind of mind stuff going on here. In my 20 years of martial arts, I had never experienced anything like it.

One of my friends said that they once saw a Hawaiian NLP certificate, setting on his desk. That was my clue.

So, my question to you Mr Clevleand, is – “Do you have any idea of what he’s doing?

Oh yeah, he’s in his 50’s and his name is Bill Shaw.

Any insight would be deeply appreciated.

With my respect,
