Is there really such a thing as a no-touch knockout? Can Chi energy move people without contact? Are pressure point knockouts actually real?
The legends of martial arts are filled with mystique—but this book reveals the truth behind the myth.

In Martial Science and the Myth of Superhuman Skill, master instructor and biomechanics expert Sky Benson unpacks the world’s most mysterious martial feats and explains them using real science: physics, anatomy, psychology, and the nervous system. No fluff. No fakery. Just fascinating, eye-opening insight into how the human body actually works in motion and under stress.

Inside, you’ll discover:

• The science behind no-touch knockouts, Chi Push, and Iron Shirt
