3.42 - 3.50 wow. I cant belive that someone is that powerfull. If i am training all my life and i coudnt do that. respect. And to all other masters in this video. Take care!

[jsstevens]

Superguy,

You are eager to impress us with your words belittling what these black belts have demonstrated. Instead of insulting them and telling us it's fake or easy, prove your superior skill or theire lack thereof by posting video of you doing each of breaks shown to the same degree. By the way, those long thin stone slabs that they are breaking are marble, like kitchen counter tops.

[UyLuy84]

Couldn't agree less with jsstevens

:D

Breaking Bricks takes years of traning.

[elzus]

WOW the one at the end is scary

[todogeri]

la dificultad de lagunos rompimientos en algunos pocos casos deja patente el realismo de todo el egercicio.fantastico:OSS

[MoonSung1]

lmfao, my taekwondo master is in this vid XD

[ddandbd]

who was he? was it master Kang at the side? or was he breaking stuff?

[jsstevens]

What your Taekwondo Master's name? At what time does he appear in this video? Thanks.

[DONB2002]

even masters cant fight the laws of physics... if you know what im talking about.

[jsstevens]

Please be specific. What ARE you talking about? Are you referring to a missed break or something else?

[BrushCrawler]

this is so cool

[Liquidcadmus]

You have some really nice vids :)

[JCandLP]

nice

[ahumanweapon]

look i understand your comment it may seem im just slagging but hey look at my video on youtube i dont make all the noise and i will be posting more vids to show what i can do shortly.remember this is tkd so as for feudal japan im lost with that one

[jsstevens]

The feudal japan thing was in repsonse to a negative post  by a1drifter that doesnt seem to understand breaking and asked if I knew the story behing breaking. The story is breaking is way to test the strength and conditioning of your weapon.

[a1drifter]

hahah look it was ok to watch but look at the dust from the materials when broken??? they are soft and all that preperation will get you killed in combat.funny how no one used kyukpa until 80s haha if you know the story behind its origin let me know haah heres a clue its not ki or chi

[jsstevens]

Small men feel the need to belittle others accomplishments.

In feudal japan the quality of a sword was determined by the amount of 'material' it could cut in a single strike. Kyukpa is an off shoot of this testing method. It's not about combat skill but the quality of the weapon and overcoming limits. If you can do better please post your video.

[ahumanweapon]

hey i break real roof tiles and not ones made of dust!! and i dont make all the silly noise as for weapons mine are a gift from god and and allways ready .mark miller youtube. please reply

[jsstevens]

Awesome. I'll check out your videos. The kihap isnt necessarily silly but depending on the person it can be.

[ilikehaku1100]

It's not dust, retard, it's clay. They yell to summon the spiritual energy that lies within to enhance his power. You know nothing of martial art, fuck off.

[Pope2501]

It's interesting that you say there was no kyukpa before 1980. You have no proof. I have proof that there was. You are simply wrong in your assertion. I was wondering why you'd make such an obviously false statement?

[FatesWildCard]

The Kick At 1:20 Revs My Engine...

[chungdokwanTTCA]

That's what I am talkin about!!! To those who say tae kwon do is weak or ineffective...HAH! it just goes to show that there is no martial art is the best or most powerful. "there is no bad martial art, only bad teacher..." -Pat "Mr. Miagi" Morita-KARATE KID

[dicocalilung]

The ridge hand break was the most impressive.  Ouch.

[ubersum1]

you have no idea how glad i am there are no spammers or haters here. this is genuinely amazing. no spacers, just hardcore brick destruction.

and here i was thinking the ITF were much more hardcore, but heres proof that shows WTF is just the same. awesome.

[Safri89]

whats their secret?how`s their training?

[jsstevens]

That's what everyone wants to know. They obviously have this down to a science. I would love to know the progression of specific bone, tendon, and hitting surface conditioning exercises they use. So far I've not been able to find good documentation for these methods. Have you seen the finger tip break through 10 boards yet? It's under "Lee Kyu Hyung" check it out.

[foxcompany]

Dude it's easy...comditioning. If you want to break bricks with your fist. Hit a hard surface, start out slow and soft and finally WITH TIME work your way up to hitting harder and harder. Dont just go punch a wall as hard as you can once a day. It takes time.

[r0bbje]

Wow this video inspires me to train a bit more doing Kyokpa, I always loved the way they can mask their pain showing uber concentrated faces... Yeah...

Taekwondo is MY sport!

[klemowicz]

I don't know about you, but for me there isn't any pain. I've conditioned past it, and all that happens is my hand shakes slightly afterward, possibly from adrenaline. The concentration you speak of is more for accurate targeting and sometimes audience effect. Please remember that not everyone can do this; body structure, as well as training and hand conditioning, are important factors. It also helps to be a person who thrives under pressure.

[phiplaystennis]

i've seen many break demos..this has got to be if not one of the most powerful
