So it's really just a very skillful application of force? Just like EVERYONE who does it says it is?

As a builder of 38 yrs I know that the blocks used are thermalite/celcon light weight low density insulation blocks. They are not made of concrete. The things can fall apart in in your hands as you pick one up. The same goes for the roof tiles they sometimes use. thin brittle baked clay breaking proves nothing apart from this, some people with believe anything. I have never seen a MA guy break a real concrete block. They have a crushing strength of about 4,000 psi (or more)

Stop trying to prove everything wrong fags

That's all true, you don't need any skill to have stuff broken on you like that, and anyone can break fake bricks.

That doesn't mean that that is all that's out there. My club and I, as well as probably tens of thousands of martial artists break real bricks and tiles and such. There's no magic to it, just focus and skillful application of force like a1024s correctly states.

Don't dismiss all martial arts because some dimwits think it would be cool to hoodwink people cheat at it.
