is it true that someone who takes martial arts and is good at it is deadly? that they can do a sweeping kick that could make the victim fall on his neck?

any martial art can be deadly providing you know what to do.
shutting down the human body temporarely or permanently requires one thing: knowledge of the human body. Anatomy is what it's all about. There's plenty of myths about supposed lethal techniques: e.g. hitting the nose into the skull(no cartilage does not go through solid bone) just as there are indeed lethal techniques. It does not even require that much knowledge in martial arts as it does in anatomy. Any body can break somebodys lanrynx with a good strike of the fist (very deadly choke technique) . I study aikido an art that works a lot on using human anatomy and I'll tell you that some of the deadliest techniques (neck or spine breaks) are the easiest to learn. However that doesn't mean that it's easy to get to the point where you can apply them that's where knowledge in MA comes back into play. Many of the chinese internal arts start their knowledge from medecine and indeed a good martial artist should get to know the body like a doctor. to work thje body you must know the body

Most of them no. Anyone who gets deadly has to put a lot of blood sweat and tears into their training, and the simple fact is the average guy is not interested in that level of pain and exertion.
he would rather turn up to 99% of martial arts dojos, that take money in exchange for coloured belts. Everyone is happy, the guy thinks he is Bruce lee and the sensei makes money.
The most dangerous fighters are the full contact fighters of boxing, kickboxing, muay thai, jujitsu, BJJ , judo and wrestling etc.
Little money changes hands in training, belts take second preference to competition victories, and nothing comes without a lot of pain and sweat.
Occasionally you might run into another martial artist from a different style who is dangerous but he is the exception to the rule and generally he will be fighting like a full contact fighter anyway.
In other words if he calls himself a 'karate master', and punches kicks like a muay thai boxer he has likely cross trained for realism.

Martial arts were developed to be a combat tool. Teachers have pared down a lot of the maneuvers to be safer for the public to learn. However there are still schools out there that teach the combat form of all martial arts.
Remember, a lot of the unarmed styles were developed because a conquering force declared that training with weapons was illegal.

Certain types of martial arts can be deadly for sure. Some types (ie. Tai Chi) I would not consider to be in the same category of 'deadliness'.
Take Judo as an example. In judo after learning for 1 or 2 years, a student would likely be able to fight someone on the ground and possibly choke them to death or break their elbow joint in a lock.

It really depends on the martial art. Capoiera, for instance, is a martial art but it's more like a dance. Muay Thai, Judo, Ju Jitsu, and sometimes Karate and Kung Fu often have more potential for being deadly. Karate, Kung Fu, and Muay Thai incorporate punching and kicking while Muay Thai involves those plus knees and elbows to the head and body. Judo involves throwing your opponent while Ju Jitsu consists of submissions such as chokes and joint manipulation.

You could also get shoved by your little sister and break your neck too.
Anything can be deadly if the intention is there. For example, you wouldn't think a phone is too deadly, right? Well if someone whacked you in the head with a phone, bingo, it could be deadly.

Depends the quaality of the art, of the student and of the teacher. I don't know about that particular attack, but there are definitely deadly attacks.

It depends on HOW you train. There is an old Okinawan proverb regarding training spirit "one punch, one kill." It is meant to reflect that karate is meant for sefl-defense only, but if you must use it you must be prepared to make sure that you survive the encounter. It is for this reason that Okinawan stylists who are traditionalists work the makiwara and sand/stone jars to condition their hands, feet, knees, elbows and shoulders. When they do tamashiwari (literally, to test by breaking) they are not focused on sport or demonstration; they are testing the power of their punch or kick on boards, bricks, tiles or concrete slabs. A person who can consistently punch or kick through a 4 inch concrete slab can create a heck of a lot of damage to the human body in short order.

huh?!!
anyway, Tai Chi Chuan is one of the deadliest arts you can study. All the internal arts are seriously deadly. These practitioners can rupture your internal organs with a slap.
Most teachers won't teach the deadly aspect of it to Americans because they consider most Americans barbarians. They just teach you the movements.
The other arts take a high level of commitment for you to become deadly in them.
Questions like these are proof that the MA should not be taught to that degree.

Yes, martial arts are deadly. You can kill people in one move or a few moves.
