Re the shornji vid - first of all I wouldn't get to worked up about the choke out - it's not that big a deal.

As for the pressure point knockouts.....I'm I the only one that noticed the supposedly KO'd students were actually ukemi-ing out of the strike?
That's how it works with a lot of those knock outs. The students are conditioned to get knocked out when X happens. That's how some less then reputable guys can knock out their students (and only their students) across the room just a glance.

The difference is I'm sure that a punch to the throat can knock you out, but it did look like they were hamming it up for effect.
