IMO, the word "deadly" means you can kill your opponent (by surprise or from behind) without making any sound.

Just can't help yourself huh, why can't you add something to the thread?
I guess it's so much easier to be an a$$ hole huh?
If you feel something doesn't work give an explanation based on your experience why you feel it's not a good technique... I don't get it why a person with your experience and age rather be a ***** then add anything relative?

Perhaps you haven't been here long enough to know that the only one who knows more about everything than Knifefighter is Knifefighter himself. He is an expert on everything and only what he knows is of any value at all!
The only thing bigger than his ego is his A$$hole!
Yeah right......create a straw dog and beat it with your d!ck again!
Just like everything else, it works or doesn't work according to the context of the situation, the quality of execution, and the abilities of your opponent. When it doesn't work exactly as demonstrated or explained there are modifications that may be used "in situ" to increase the possibility of success, but nothing works 100% of the time, except in your dreams!
Aikido tends to depend on the opponents momentum, of course it can create momentum too.
The front "striking" irimi nage, can be a very powerful "sumo" like slap to the chest ( non"lethal") or a more intense strike to the throat.
But if you wanna get the nice "legs go flying" picture, you need the opponent to come at you with commited force.

Well, first of all, anyone with any sense should realize when a technique that is perfectly legal in the UFC (as well as judo, SAMBO, BJJ, and wrestling) is labeled "too deadly" to be used there, it is generally a big sign that it doesn't work.
Add that to the fact that, even though it would be perfectly fine to use that technique in any of the above listed sports, it's never been used.
You can see it for yourself. Simply try it against a halfway skilled opponent who is resisting. You can't get either the leverage or the position.
I have been occupied lately with dumb stuff like running my gym and family and haven't had much time to sift through this entire thread BUT.....
A quick look and this is the "chin jab" advocated by W E Fairbairn
It's his name, so if it sucks, so be it
Faibairn was a LEO and military man with a lot of real life experience who also literaly dedicated his life to studying how fights really happen and trying to find appropriate training to prepare for this. Applegate was his student and there is a lot of great material that traces itself back to Fairbairn
Unfortunately, there is now a lot of crap that is using Fairbairn to market itself, a lot of STINKYY HORRIBLE CRAP
The technique isn't supposed to be "deadly" just an easy to teach entry into other options
Scans from original work, nothing "secret" or deadly here, but probably would work
I think just about everyone in this thread has stated the fact that the guy over hyped the technique, It's pretty much an Infomercial.
This is where I have a problem with stuff you and people like you say.
How do you know for certain no one has ever used or applied such a technique? I'm not saying exactly like the video... we've already stated there are many variations on that technique.Add that to the fact that, even though it would be perfectly fine to use that technique in any of the above listed sports, it's never been used.
I doubt before this thread you had ever heard of a chin jab describing a technique that was not a jab at all... You can say with certainty that you've seen and documented every UFC, MMA, Judo, Sambo, BJJ, and wrestling match ever held looking for such a technique and it's variations and it's never been used or attempted?
