[rx10]

@FarP321 cute comment, now try to break just 1 bitch

[RewersXP]

Cool ))

[MegaBrunou]

Mais qui va ranger après, hein?

[MrMagnanti]

Looks like that one hurt.

[zajdabneeg]

you take that much focus time that the other person already gave you a powerbomb and your dead. =)

[Yoshi1x8]

....thats tyu from street fighter -.- of course he can break those .....Amazing

[joemoe175]

something i hate with dorks: they think that EVERYTHING with karate is breaking rocks with your head (or hand)

[miraclemuaythai]

wow nice break!

*kapow*

[MiGamezer]

I BET HE HIT HIS FUNNY BONE!!!

[dalquen]

Why don't all these so called scientists try and break some bricks?Do a video with your theory in practice,and prove these demonstrations wrong.I find it funny that there isn't any videos like that.

[tuzgureanu1]

great

[TheFanofFPS]

Instead of multi ULTRA thin like ultra thin condom thin bricks, why not just take a piece legit 3' granite and show us some stunts. because this obvious looks like your little mom can do

[RamboBramb0]

@TheFanofFPS

STFU

men you don't even know hard it is, getting through 15 of those bricks.

Go try 5 and then we'll talk.

[TheFanofFPS]

@RamboBramb0 I suppose you haven't yet taken a science class. If you break about 4 of that brick sheets, the rest will just break by the force impact that is done to that 4 bricks.

[RamboBramb0]

@TheFanofFPS

haha like you have scienetifically proven that everybody can do it by saying that you take science classes.

i mean it, just try it dude

[RamboBramb0]

@TheFanofFPS You are trying to make your argument sound scientific but you don't know shit about those bricks and the force that guy is putting in to breaking them

[TheFanofFPS]

@RamboBramb0 I haven't done this but a friend of mine has done this. well I'm pretty sure any UFC fighters that are at least 150 lbs can easily do this

[RamboBramb0]

@TheFanofFPS oooh you are sure, then i must be wrong...

man I think i know how hard it is and you think you know how hard it is and neither of us is wil change their minds so let's leave it at this

[Timthegrim1]

i bet this dude can lick stuff off his elbow.

[horbergaren]

ok, chopping bricks, i bet that will come in handy when defending urself

[observerreacts]

this guy didn't have enough bricks there, with the power he just demonstrated, he could have added 4-5 bricks easily

[rostharan]

@observerreacts well, it still look cool, or maybe he wasn't in super good state to do it.

[ImDeathNote]

wat the fuckkkkk

[codmw2profi]

We can not say tekwando is the best all matrial arts have the same beginning and all styles have gog things.what we can say is that martrial arts is better than boxing :) xd

[bishketflux]

@codmw2profi boxing is martial art too... khm khm

[rostharan]

@bishketflux he said it was not as good as the other, just an opinion :P

[coulturista]

taekwondo is the best

[RavenHouseProduction]

do it with youre dick and then I will be impressed. and the ladys too

[Mochoe]

@RavenHouseProduction hahahaahahahahahahaha...fuking aye

[Arcin321]

drink milk

[zaikapasaica]

the lower part is empty lifted up in support, try when the rocks are right on the ground cuz i can't do that..

[kennyboyke]

it hurts when i see this video :p

[osuushiza8]

I dream of conquering such hardcore art like this someday... this is amazing!

[adimarip]

sad and slow :)

[razorify]

dude lissten kyokushinkai=fullcontac full contact needs strong fysical training!!! so Sjihan Sjaak v.d. Velde.. respect..=OSU!!!

[razorify]

I totally agree. Osu.

[alephnanda]

idiots arguing..

[nikdat]

lol...the two ppl arguing here...isnt it obvious that it of course is physics and also strength & technique involved? dont u still need force to break those things..

[zxcv73]

I'd be impressed if you broke a single one on a flat surface. This is just physics.

[H0useMouse]

@zxcv73 Yes it is. But breaking just one of these with your knuckles requires good conditioning and technique. Not just anyone can do it, so don't belittle what Shihan did. Some people fail to break all the blocks, which means they did not produce enough force to cascade them to the breaking point all the way through. Shihan broke 15 blocks that came up to his chest, so he didn't have the same momentum as breaking 3 or 5, which means his force had to be much greater.

[zxcv73]

@H0useMouse

Like I said it doesn't show how tough he is, just how well he can use physics. If he broke a single board against the grain, that would be impressive. But this is just macho bs.

[H0useMouse]

@zxcv73 You're not listening. Physics will only take you so far. Breaking bricks like these required conditioning and proper technique. I've seen people fail to break one. He needs to be strong enough to break the first 4-5 on his own so that there is enough force delivered to the rest of the bricks. If it's pure physics, I'd like to see you do it. So put up or shut up.

[zxcv73]

@H0useMouse

I understand it isn't that easy and takes practice, but ive broken boards with ease with palm strikes, with the grain. I doesn't take much effort, just accuracy really. I'm saying if it isn't plain physics, why can't he break a single board against the grain. It sounds much easier then 15 blocks to me, So why can't he or anyone else actually do it? Answer: its physics, not strength. If it were just strength and conditioning then a single board against the grain would be easy.

[H0useMouse]

@zxcv73 Boards and cement bricks are very different in terms of the skill it takes to brea, though the physics is the same. Main difference is you can also break your bones on blocks. Children as young as four can break wood boards. I'll be the first one to agree that the technique of breaking blocks involves where to hit, but idk what you're saying about grain. The cement blocks we used were solid construction blocks right from our Sensei's work, shorter than those shown and I didn't see grain.

[razorify]

※HD版もあります。

極真空手の上段廻し蹴りによるKO集。

[razorify]

I totally agree. Osu.

[milnusthegnome]

Okay...now get him to break them without the spacers...

[CarlitoJohnson]

HOLY SHIT

[majin2912]

@CarlitoJohnson yeah, I said the same thing. This is impressive. I don't give a shit what anyone says.

[StryderV]

Not really sure what this video has to do with Sensei Oyama.

[StryderV]

Some years ago there was a Karate Demo in San Diego and there was a stage for various masters to show their techniques. One master set up a steel plowdisc bow side-up on two cement blocks. Well he hit that thing and broke it in two. So shut the hell up about this being fake.

[StryderV]

Funny how those who can't perform these breaks find it so easy to act as if they can, passing criticism. Do it then.

[pppxtwo]

top hits next, and go on...it is not real. if things got no space between, then no breaking, a girl can do some. too wide gap!

[4061926]

w o w

[AurumenK]

How the heck do people do that? I bench about 130 pounds, dead lift 200, and I can't break one. Tough dudes.

[dimputhegreat]

just SIMPLE,LAW OF PHYSICS,IN MOST DEMOS YOU SEE THEY ARE STACKED ON TOP SUPPORTED BY STONE ON 2 SIDES IN CORNER.

THE CENTRE OF GRAVITY IS ON MIDDLE COZ THIS POINT IS VULNERABLE SO HIT IT BREAK IT.ASK ANYONE TO BREAK IT KEEPING ON FLAT SURFACE ???

THE MAIN ESSENCE OF KARATE IS NOT BLING OR SHOW-OFF BUT DEFENDING YOURSELF AND FAMILY FROM UNWANTED GUESTS.PEACE.

[edraith]

The main essence of Karate is not at all about defending you and your family from unwanted guests... this is a modern idea brought up by tv movies.

Karate is about being in peace with yourself and your surroundings. Karate is respect. Karate is never to attack first. Karate is practicing hard and not rating down other people. Karate is a good attitude versus life's stings. Karate is to develop skills, both phisically and mentally.

[dimputhegreat]

@edraith well agreed but i'm not into karate spiritual thing so i know only to practice this lovely sport for my defense.

i have seen a KEMPO KARATE MASTER WHO AFTER STUDYING IN JAPAN FOR 5 YEARS RETURNED TO INDIA AND GO TO HIMALAYAS TO LEAD A LIFE OF A RECLUSE MONK CANT UNDERSTAND WHY ??? HE IS STILL YOUNG.

[edraith]

These are not "spiritual things". This is karate. So You are not practcing karate.

And if you want to learn self defense go in the SEALS, then go to live in some suburba for a pair of years.

Martial Arts are not the best choice for self defense.

[majin2912]

@edraith I totally agree. Osu.

[milnusthegnome]

@edraith It's about getting a gun and shooting you and your family dead...

[lancelot453]

It's not, period ! Karate means empty hand. Kara-Te .

[Mochoe]

@edraith you forgot about how karate is gay

[TheFanofFPS]

@edraith really? well, but then why did the greatest karate master trained himself to beat other martial art institutes? Please don't try to make Karate something more than what it actually is. Because what you obviously said is just a bunch of BULLSHIT. Karate is about defending yourself. Karate is a martial art created for a fundamental purpose.

[RamboBramb0]

@TheFanofFPS

get a history lesson dude, karate was invented to by people to defend themselves from samurai's

karate meaning the empty hand is al about having to defend your self when needed.

training it will also give you the attitude to deal with more than just an opponent.

[ruebuscm]

@edraith Don't you think the arts that make up karate were originally developed to defend yourself and your family from unwanted guests?

[edraith]

@ruebuscm It's all about the status in wich you consider the developing of martial arts. Karate essentially derives from chinese practices of Chan Buddhism, wich were both spiritual and physical excercises aimed to the development of spiritual oneness with the universe. But those excercises were even aimed to develop seld defense skills. So I do not have a short answer here.

[soerism]

@edraith yes, i get this value when i watched the japanese movie titled "Kuro Obi" or Black Belt. The first value of karate, according to that movie, is that there is no first attack in karate. The strongest karateka is one who can dodge best. I took some time to understand this. But, it is true that who can dodge well is the one who can take advantage on opponent's movement. Each strike will give "hollow" area, and the best karateka is the one who can take best advantage upon that hollow area.

[Kprofile001]

@soerism "the strongest karateka is one who can dodge best" can also be interpreted as the karateka that can avoid a fight as much as possible

[andrebading]

@edraith then muay thai is kind of opposite :))

[edraith]

@andrebading Yes and no. Muay Thai is not the OPPOSITE, but it is focused on pure supremacy in fighting, in beating your ENEMY to save your life and your country... Karate and Muay Thai have very different phylogenesis and history, and is really impossible to discuss about this topic in five hundred keystrokes.

[Rodshark75]

@edraith Which is good, because as a fighting style, Karate is weak. Of course ALL eastern martial arts say they focus on peace, discipline, and being at one in body and mind.

[Rodshark75]

@Rodshark75 with the exception to the rule being Muay Thai of course.

[Patriot1389]

@Rodshark75

Kyokushin is weak?!

[Rodshark75]

@Patriot1389 I said Karate as a fighting style is weak. Sure the guy in the video is strong, and has good technique and can do an impressive trick breaking that many bricks.

But against an experienced fighter, someone who is in good shape, been in many fights, and has trained in a variety of fighting styles, a straight karate practitioner would have their ass handed to them (know this from personal experience).

[Patriot1389]

@Rodshark75

Watch Kyokushin fighters like Hug,Feitosa,Filho,Pettas,Teixe­ra,Kurbanov,Osipov..and whole Kyokushin concept then say something..best

[StryderV]

Dude you're in India for Chrissakes and

WHAT ARE YOU YELLING ABOUT!!!!!

[verdeloththeking]

The main essence of Karate is different for each doing it, but real Karate is a spiritual practice, not just pragmatics as you seem to suggest.

[EzioFirenzAuditoreda]

@verdeloththeking erhm... soz pal but am not to sure if i am right with my reading but is says tameshiwari... not Karate...

[verdeloththeking]

@EzioFirenzAuditoreda Tameshiwari is breaking techniques, or displays of breaking ability. It is a demonstration of martial art ability, not a martial art within itself. That it is a Japanese word, the man is a Shihan which is a Karate rank, and the fact that he is wearing a Kyokushin style short sleeve Karate Gi, and that he is using a downwards dropping Hiji Uchi which is a commonly practiced Karate strike, from a tradition Karate Sanchin Dachi meant it is a Karate demonstration of taweshiware

[EzioFirenzAuditoreda]

@verdeloththeking o.o wow did i really say that crap? dont remember.. apologies

... o.o

[TheJermos]

Look at brick breaking vid

[qwertyxxx22]

the spaces between brick becomes easyer the strike...try without spaces

[syphen888]

might as well try to split a cement piller then aye?

[peterbf91]

very good, my sensei dose that but with no spaces, take ages to learn.

5 stars

[lkjflksdfjklasdjf]

I don't think that's great performance.

It's easy once anybody get the hang of it.

[MutsuKazuma]

yeah very true just like irai said you break like the first 5 bricks and the rest collapses by gravity

[syriangamer]

care to give it a shot tough guy? try it out and post a video on youtube.

[TheDocbach]

then please, show us a tutorial on one of your videos to shows the true ease of this. id really like to see it. :)

[simon2893]

wow llooloollollololololololalalal­llalalallalllallalllallalllall­lalllallalllallalalalahhhahhan­ mckdinnnnnanyuna mmmmmmdmidmiommmmmmasisnnlonif­kd

[llAkuTsUll]

"bricks dont hit back"

[captainwillies69]

but as a finnishing move that would hurt lol :3

[Ahollamockee]

true good saying and all but if that elbow came crashing down on you you would never be able to fight back again. cant deny that it has a lot of power behind it

[llAkuTsUll]

I would have to wait sitting on a chair for that hit.

[LethalWolf27]

I'll bet anyone a 100 bucks he can't break the whole stack if they removed the space between each brick...it's still impressive though.

[t3golf]

ur right, it's really impressive. heck, i can't do it. but then again, like you said, those spacers help a lot. i don't think people realize how much they do. but, like i said, i can't do it. mad props.

[alexg1983]

no one can do it without spaces between bricks...it's over human limit..

[nickwong2]

its impossible to break it without the spaces. Humans cant produce that amount of force to break something like that. That is why we arent the strongest beings on this planet

[irai1984]

you are right.. the space between the tiles makes gravity, and the weight of the brick itself easier for the lower ones to break.

I used to have to break concrete tiles for TKD gradings.. but the concrete has so much air trapped inside it that my little brother could do it too..

fraud

[Hyoujinsama]

It's not so much the gravity. It is the fact that the gaps allow for "flex" to compound the break. The first one breaks, allowing the power to be transferred into the next brick, then the next, and so on.

It's not so impressive to break bricks in general. It's impressive that professional competition breakers are able to maintain the proper ammount of force to continue the break to the final brick after the last however many absorb the shock and lessen the power of the strike.

[gringojames]

I agree friend... the power of the hit is transfereed to the next brick...

I wanna see this again with the brick joined to the other brick.. not separated like this...

[Ahollamockee]

no way his arm would break lolbe like trying to punch trough a pave brick wall lol

[Toddw1992117]

its called spacing you dumb fuck

[Ahollamockee]

i was talking about if there was no spacing and it was all flat "dumb fuck"

[Toddw1992117]

well not im fault your to fucking stupid to type that the first time dont blame me for your stupidety

[jarridsk8]

..go away and shut up

[jazzman1930]

wheres your video? shut the fuck up! put your empty head where hes striking.loser

[NuwenZhou]

I thought that is the whole point? That u don't do this with your hand but with your body, hand is just a tool. Y'know what I mean?

[calvino666]

When he breaks it, all i could hear was OOOOHhHH-Shhhi!

[kickmasta]

great!! ^^

[bmw335hdk]

Wonderfull.. Even my katana will unable to do that :D

[chrisdotwynn]

that was amazing! I find it harder to break as many bricks without space in between them though, but that was still nothing short of extreme talent!

[WonkyDoodle]

of course you do. Putting space in between makes the job ten times easier, since each tile has a weaker vulnerable point in its middle. Breaking the tiles with no space would be similar to smashing through a solid single block...and that would be impressive!

[adrikk1]

lucky shot!...... or.... maybe not... :P

[IwontSay]

coool :D btw his name sounds dutch :O

[tapilaha]

that's cause he is dutch

[IwontSay]

cooooool

[pwnagekid1224]

jesus christ.....

[BigDave297]

Jesus!!

[Yiukisan]

Wooow !!! Osu !!!

[tical5680]

that's a lot of blocks
