@loo85 imagine how you'd get out of the way by the time he focused his chi properly, I know you'd have to hold me down to let him hit me like that.

Joking.

@mpent2 the slabs are 1 inch thick, 18 inches wide, and 8 inches deep. Breaking Marble is more difficult than concrete... very impressive,

and please post the footage even when you do you break your hand I could use a laugh. Don't worry about using spacers you can if you want either way I don't mind.

@AmericanPowerBase well you should post a vid showing everyone how it's done. don't forget to use marble.

First I was like: "Dude! He's wearing a ring! His fingers are going to snap!" and then I saw it was just some kind of tape or something. :)

Very impressive break!

As trevor112211 pointed out, even with spacers, this is a tough break!

[mpent2]

Could someone please tell me the dimensions of the marble slabs that he was breaking?

[loo85]

Imagine that chop was going to a neck or shoulder...

[trevor112211]

Even with spacers this is a very difficult break right next to punch. This kind of breaking could only be done with YEAR'S of conditioning very well done.

The suspense was killing me each time he lifted his hand O_O

awesome breakage

Wah.. very pain. You can only do it at one go. You can see he's in pain cause you need focus.
