I call not shens. My 9 years in the martial arts has taught me that you can do many surprising things with zen and concentration.

I think to make it count she needs to be more than two inches off the ground.

peowned

the thing is, lifting her off the ground 2 inches would mean that the member length would acutally be sqrt((distance he was from her)^2 + 4))

Meh, I've seen many martial arts masters do the same thing. Its not magic, just skill, technique, and training.

If they were to simply wrap their arms around her legs and lift (or keep her from putting her hands on their arms) they would be able to lift her easily.

I was just going to post this. Yep, that's her trick.

Tell her to keep her hands off you and there is no way she will stay on the ground.

One of the pictures - shes on the street.

Guys, as the sucker tries to lift her she is pushing UP from underneath on their arms. This makes the sucker have to lift her weight, PLUS their own weight. An impossible feat.

It's not magic, or even rocket science. It's a simple trick. The fact that so many fall for it is what amazes me.

Tell her to keep her hands off you and you can toss her around like a ragdoll

if this were true, if she will herself to the ground in an elevator and it's about to go up, would the elevator not move? :confused:

Sigh...

Again, no shens, no magic, just a simple leverage trick. Anyone can do it.

Please, cut the crap. What "skill" do they have to defy the laws of physics? There is NO skill, it is just plain BS. I had this one guy try this crap on me saying, "if I concentrate, I will become rooted to the ground and you will not be able to pick me up." I said, "alright, let's do this." Well after his little meditation routine, I asked, "are you ready?" He says, "yes." Well I went in and did what wrestlers would call a double leg takedown, and picked him right up. No problem at all. I actually thought he was pretty light. Mind you the guy was about 250lbs too. And after I picked him up his response was, "I wasn't doing it right." Yeah, sure you weren't buddy. :roll:

Total crap.

There is no way you could stop any half decent grappler from picking you up with a double leg.. so this is bull.

I was mediocre at best, but I'd be willing to wager my life on the fact I'd have no problem picking her up, or any other "martial arts master".
