Kung Fu Breaking Demo 2007 (Chi Power)

[olympic66power]

excellent 

[ThisSentenceIsFalse]

Simple physics.

[pranksterprince15]

i myself cant break that many spaced....10 maybe 12, though i am quite the skinny guy :D but i took physics and oddly enough my teacher is a previous martial artist and religious guy xD but he brought in like 10 of those slabs and taught us about all this its quite fun...but making this out to be a spectacle is load of crap, doesnt take much to break slabs that big, thin, and spaced out :-/

[kongfumaster1]

i say two things 1 boards and bricks dont hit back and second a really good martial artist can strike breaks or woods wen its in air thats tha hardest way to strike at one break or stone or anything paper is harder to punch only 1 hole in it then breaking so many stones

[94george94]

haha hes shouting "jizz" O.o

[modjaffamodjaffa]

before he broke it I laughed my ass of XD

[cpezsluschba]

With kevlar t-shirt

Try that without spacings. True martial arts breaking has no space between objects. First one is not easy to break it is hard, however that is the only one you have to break and the rest break themselves.

[PrayingMantisFist]

You must not watch tournaments because they always use spacer. No martial art does it without spacers.

[seanamico]

I have seen tournaments, that is why I said try it without spacing, and you will not break half the shit you think you can break.

[PrayingMantisFist]

I know you wont break as much(if any) without spacers and the chance of breaking yourself is alot higher. The only thing I was stating is that I've never seen a tournament where they didn't use spacer.

[seanamico]

Only in the west they use spacers, not in the orient.

[saidadib]

Lol, he's right. The true martial artist use no spacer

[irai1984]

true.. to add to that, the spacer under the top one MAKES the top one easier to break.. I bet if there was an extra spacer in the middle, he wouldn't break shit.

[cornacct]

True martial artists don't use spacers??? That is crap. There are MANY outstanding martial artists who use spacers--INCLUDING in the Orient. A true martial artist can do either or both. There are many types of breaks. Some are more impressive with spacers.

[irai1984]

Punching through three short, fat pieces of wood stuck together is harder than a tall stack of spaced, long, thin and airated concrete tiles.

Try it yourself.

[cornacct]

Indeed I have--and many times as a matter of fact. I did not say one was or was not harder than the other. I'm saying martial artists do both, whether in the west or in the Orient. Performing breaks with spacers does not make one less of a martial artist.

[buddoyr]

lol he was trying to scare the bricks haha

[LuciferSensui]

When you guys say "tricks", you're forgetting about the fact that Wolff's Law can be applied to make one's body tissues stronger.

[lococavasa]

progresive collapse is when one falls the rest will fallow great break thought notice how thick the space in between bricks are l wthis is how martail artist do what seem supernatural with no spacers it would take an imposeible amount of presure.

[peanut18544]

how come they were dancing at the end?

[TangerinePai]

It's the formal short bow.

Congrats to Sifu Hardy!

[ahmednabil]

u keep saying that ,, i have seen the whole thing.

[kilibe023]

its only there multiple times cause i posted the first one and an error came up and it didn't seem to have posted which now turns out that i am wrong. so there you go thats why the same thing is posted many times by me.

[ahmednabil]

its ok , actually if u read my 1st comment u will notice that i was replying to someone , giving an example of some one who forgets the training and only do tameshiwara or breaking , i wasnt talking about this group , actually i liked this demonstration

[Bettaviolin]

sqwedgemeister knows alot about the art... =)

[chushinryoku]

I've done these tricks before as well (though I do have MA training).

The 16 concrete slabs' supports are far apart for most impact power to go to bottom slabs. Doing this with no supports and no spacers in between is the true trick and is VERY HARD.

[chushinryoku]

The bed of nails trick isn't about stopping the persons impalement, but breaking the skin by the points of the nails, which is why top practitioners do it with no shirt on. Also in north america we make nails with blunted tips. Old chinese nails are SHARP!

[hee6969]

The bed of nails is a common trick used by many martial artists. The force is distributed evenly over the surface thus there is no harm to the performer. TRICK! I know I've done this.

[taffie28]

u r full of it,

[abdus2]

Most breaking techniques are a matter of physics and application of power. The breaking of long boards/bricks spaced specifically and force applied to a central point is a well know easily doable technique with proper training.

[abdus2]

Masters of old that broke REAL brick (not masonary blocks)with no spaces stacked on flat ground is and example of the pure application of power and chi. The best modern examples are individuals that can break and UNSCORED coconuts. While not on an old level...still signifigant

[kilibe023]

i can tell you that is real cement that has been made for him and it is hard enough that if you did it wrong you would easily brake your arm. i know i've seen that happen in the past.

[kilibe023]

what you don't see is that the nail are several inchs apart which means that the weight cannot be distributed properly which means that if done wrong the person doing it can get seriousely injured i know i've seen this go wrong and there was blood luckly though he got back up in time so there wasn't any major injuries.

[sqwedgemeister]

a brilliant use of chi. although you never seem to return your "qi" to the dantiem after use? this can be very bad for your mental health. be aware of the jinns that control you as they can alter the pyscotic state of a person. peace.x

[originalgunclappers]

yes the quote is 'boards don't hit back' but its not a board he's breaking is it?! So what was the point of the demo then?

[cornacct]

Depends upon the movie! If you're talking Bruce Lee, it's "Boards don't hit back." If it's Bloodsport, there's a similar quotation regarding bricks after Frank Duks breaks the bottom brick in the stack.

[Oliiiverr]

there was another one with mr miyagi he said ''what board do to you?''

buttt what if someone was about to hit you with a board, or a brick.

i'd say it's useful.

[originalgunclappers]

'bricks don't hit back'

[rydiacool]

I believe the quote is "boards don't hit back"

And that wasn't the point of the demonstration

[ahmednabil]

u dont have to act untouched by any impressive thing u see, this is impressive .

and this quote is for people who forget their martial art and do nothing but breaking , however , that is a good demonstration.

[kilibe023]

if you saw the whole demonstration you would know that we haven't forgotten about our martial art. we demontrated a variety of forms and different defences against attacks.

[kilibe023]

if you saw the entire demo you would've seen that it is in fact quite the opposite. we did alot of applications of techniques and form work in that demo. so to end don't judge him until you see the whole demonstration.

[gastinko]

Master Hardy u rock! Ill b back in a couple of weeks cheers owen
