Here is a short clip of Seno Sensei performing a demonstration at Ayase!

Yeah guys, but falling down and playing dead because you get something in your eyes? that was a little overdramatized no matter the reality IMO.

Hmmm. If you took the time to bring blinding powder -- you probably have a weapon as well.

How hard is it to bludgeon someone when they are blind or (mostly blind)...

As to your other question about the thumb shot -- fall down. I only know of a couple of people in the BJK who subscribe to such idiocy. Most of the time it is "this is a good shot - and may end the fight. If it doesn't -- then... blah blah blah."

Most of us have some sense of reality (despite what others may say...).
