By death strikes, I assume that you mean things like striking to the throat, or the base of the skull, or things like that?

This is true, but the partner has to be willing to be hypnotised. Not many opponents are that way.

I agree with bushido man. you can develop a technique enough to cause enough damage to kill, but it is not based on ki or other mystical causes.

I do Nin-jitsu and it has a death punch , which is very effective and has been proven to kill someone in one movement.

It would seem to me that there is only one way to collect this kind of data; by actually applying the technique. If not, you have to go off of the stories that people tell about its use. Even at that rate, I don't think it would be a move that would have these results 100% of the time.
