Combination of bullshit and performance. It's not actually hard to develop the ability to withstand fairly serious abdominal blows, especially if it's only the one blow and you're ready for it, and especially especially if it's a blow delivered by your buddy who's trained for years to pull the fucking strike.
Witness how the dude with the baseball bat doesn't move after hitting the dummy, but recoils like he's bounced off a rubber wall when he hits the 'monk': that's a trick used to cause watchers to automatically and unconsciously attribute much greater force to the blow than is actually there.
Also, the scientist (if she is one) is babbling nonsense when she says "I can't measure qi" - she's buying into the fucking narrative of qi being magical energy bullshit that can't be measured.
The monk is pulling a fucking con-job, PT Barnum would have hired the cunt on the spot, and there's nothing unexplainable about it. Still one born every minute.
