No-touch KO master tries his skills on a UFC fighter!
Master Tom Cameron is one of the world’s top practitioners in Dim Mak, the ancient Chinese Death Touch. He claims he is capable of knocking a person down without any physical contact, and his ‘ability’ has been shown on international TV by Ripley’s Believe It Or Not.
Cameron explains that he is an instructor who uses his skills to enhance corporate security. He is one of western society’s leading researchers of how chi and bio energy can be controlled.
In the video, you can see Master Cameron try his no-touch KOs on BJJ players and UFC fighter, Stephan Bonnar.

Cameron, “The Human Stun Gun”, has been involved in martial arts for over 30 years and claims to have developed the ability to knock down, knock out or shut an attacker’s organs off. The technique requires little more than a touch and in many instances just the intent without physical contact is sufficient.
The long and short of it is that Tom Cameron (a self proclaimed martial arts expert) claims that he is capable of knocking out opponents using pressure point techniques.
Even more impressive is that Mr. Cameron states that he can knock out an opponent without even touching them! He claims to have mastered the art of Dim Mak, more commonly known as the death touch.
What possesses people to train in such a system of martial arts? Second, what is in the minds of people who already train in such systems and continue to do so after seeing their ‘Master’ embarrassed?
Lots of folks are put off by the daunting challenge of thorough and extensive training in practical martial arts. It is a lot of hard work. It is time consuming. It costs money. It would be so much easier if one could avoid the stretching, calisthenics, set-backs, and occasional injuries and ‘simply’ cultivate one’s potent internal energy!
As for explaining what keeps people already training in these styles in the face of a lack of evidence, there are parallels in other forms of pseudoscience.
Whether it is faith healing, alternative medicine, astrology, or any other form of what James Randi refers to as ‘woo’, there are two types of followers.
The first is the ‘true believers’ who have so much of themselves invested that they engage in cognitive dissonance and turn a blind eye to evidence because their very sense of identity has become dependent on their belief being true.
The second type of follower is the apprentice con-artist who sees the perks that the practitioner enjoys and is paying dues in the hopes of being the successor to the master or doctor.
