Master Chan Tai-San breaking bricks with his head...again!

This was from a Kung-Fu Demo at NYU in 1988. Chan Tai-San was just about 70 years old here. The footage is old and not very good but you can still see. He breaks regular red construction bricks (because we would find them at construction sites). One across his head like a bar of soap, and then he uses the two halves to hold the ohter two. He breaks the other two stacked bricks. He doesn't do it the first time, talks to the crowd a bit - tells them not to clap, he will lose face..then talks about the war, how the Japanese turned the Chinese against each other...yadda yadda, yadda. But, he riles himself up a bit and then does the break! Cool footage from our personal archives!
