Yes, but it takes years of practice before it can be applied practically. i.e. Unless someone spars a lot, in a practical situation, the techniques won't be applied properly. They strikes be more powerful than someone who has never trained before, but it's not like in the movies where a black belt is an overwhelming advantage.
