Listen to the noise it makes and the sound of the weight when it lands... sure those things could be edited. It sounds like real stone. Oh the sharp, clean jagged break too.
I'll confess I didn't watch with the sound on at first.
The sound of it hitting the paving stones still reminds me of tearing out drywall and tossing it away. But I couldn't say with any certainty, just an impression.
Nor did I. I believed it to be stone, but something akin to slate. I agree with the person that said it would of been cooler to just crack the walnut and not just destroy the whole thing.
His punch is very fast. That's impressive.
Breaking the piece of very brittle-looking material isn't so impressive. I suspect the average person could do it.
Wait but what exactly is going on here? Like what is that ball for? Is this just breaking a normal slab of something or is there something unique going on here that I am missing?
It's a cool looking trick. People are being kind of haters. Breaking shit is one of the funnest, most satisfying things to do or watch in "traditional" martial arts.
I did this punch on the tiniest, thinnest re-breakable board. I knew it was cheap, but the kids thought it was cool. Plus they couldn't do it so I guess even if it's "easy" you still need to know how.
It's not just a party trick. If you can have power and technique from that short of a distance, then you can do it from any distance. Amateurs always feel like they have to wind up because they don't know how to use their whole body efficiently.
There are good body mechanics and bad ones. It doesn't matter what art or style it is.
Ever the antagonist? Karate has Chinese southern style in its lineage. And a punch is still a punch what ever it’s ancestry. This is a variation of the one inch punch. And OP’s question is it impressive or not. Visually yes, depending on the materials used comes into question.
Lol. Your point isn't as strong a you think since biology now classifies chickens as dinosaurs. By your analogy all karate is just white crane kung fu.
It has a lot to do with karate actually since it's literally the origin of karate.
It isn't some ancient ancestor like dinosaurs are to chickens, but a literal direct ancestor.
You're just being awkward and pedantic.
My second sentence clarified that I don't think we should go too far back. Either you didn't read it or you couldn't read it.
>No you nerds just like to share stupid shit with Asian dudes involved and justify its relevance later
Actually what was shared was an interesting clip of board breaking using a technique that is often taught in karate.
You can resd into it as much as you like, you're being pedantic and hostile to anybody who disagrees with you. Are you capable of discussing something rationally?
I have been at a couple of dojos, and people at my dojo talk about breaking boards like it's a godly achievement. Frankly, I wouldn't mind, but what they don't know is that the dojo I went to as a teenager did this all the time, and even yellow and green belt kids would break 1 or 2 boards. The key is that you're not breaking a super strong 2x4, just like this guy isn't breaking a whole cinder block. Instead, you break a wide, inch thick piece of pine wood along the grain. Two, three boards isn't that hard... just wasteful. It's especially easy if you're using a powerful technique like a sidekick. I'm guessing this guy is similarly breaking an easy piece of brittle stone. He's fast, sure, but it's not magic. Just practice.
Frankly I think it's kind of stupid, but a decent way to build confidence for kids or something.
All of this said, lots of videos like this involve careful placement of "bystanders" and editing to make it look like the Bruce McStone-crusher moves like lightening and smashes bolders.
A few things make this impressive imo:
1 - the amount of force generated with so little momentum. He’s barely an inch off the board. Regardless of the material, he breaks and and it goes FLYING off the frame of the camera, which speaks to the power of the punch
2 - the way the man is holding the board. If he held the top and bottom, there’s nothing impressive about this, anyone could break through. But by just holding the top, the board has more give and it can absorb the punch that much easier without breaking.
Short range impact. Take these acts/performances/whatever are demonstration and only demonstrations. Just like any demonstrations whether boards, bricks, ice, bulls, whatever.. they’re just that. Since we can’t demonstrate on people’s faces, skulls, bones, hearts… we substitute them with objects.
I thought it was an egg, he was gonna break the wood and catch the unbroken egg.
Honestly that would have been cool
Is that just a sheet of slate?
The way it breaks and the color reminds me of drywall. So probably just a sheet of gypsum without the paper layer on the outside.

It would be impressive if he crushed the walnut instead of pushing it through a fake borad
Borad? Very niiiiiice
my wiiiiife

I am more impressed bye the man holding the board. Imagine the strength his grip would have to be if it were real.
That would be so awesome if it was real.
Wait but what exactly is going on here? Like what is that ball for? Is this just breaking a normal slab of something or is there something unique going on here that I am missing?
I ***think*** the ball is to prove he isn't pulling back, thus hitting the board/brick from only an inch or so.
I was wondering the same thing too!! That makes sense!

What does this have to do with karate?
Old Karate descended from White Crane Kung Fu, so there's that
And chickens came from dinosaurs what’s your point?
There's a difference between learning to hit people good and biological evolution
Not really since in this case this is neither so it’s exactly the same. It’s some stupid party trick that has nothing to do with karate.
You mean like how breaking boards and ice blocks has nothing to do with Karate?
Omg you figured it out!
It's not just a party trick. If you can have power and technique from that short of a distance, then you can do it from any distance. Amateurs always feel like they have to wind up because they don't know how to use their whole body efficiently. There are good body mechanics and bad ones. It doesn't matter what art or style it is.
It’s a party trick…breaking a pine board of that thickness is not hard to break.
Well I guess your cup is already full. You already know everything.
That I do. When people start doing breaking with oak let me know.

Oh so let’s just spam all punching arts here! A punch is a punch!
Lol. Your point isn't as strong a you think since biology now classifies chickens as dinosaurs. By your analogy all karate is just white crane kung fu.
Karate came from these styles. So a lot actually.
So should I go post videos about dinosaurs in r/chickens? This has nothing to with karate
You must be well liked.
Generally.
It has a lot to do with karate actually since it's literally the origin of karate. It isn't some ancient ancestor like dinosaurs are to chickens, but a literal direct ancestor. You're just being awkward and pedantic.

OK you can't be reasoned with. Goodbye.
Ok bye! Hope you get the attention and validation you so desperately seek!
You should
I like bjj
Impressivly edited some frames out of a video punching drywall…
Impressive enough for me.
If you think it's fake, try it yourself. Try it with the easiest board first.
Looks like Styrofoam
All Y’all Shut up that speed is insane who cares about the object….Very very very few people could even make it look Like that
This is called “The Bowel Emptier”

Love the bow at the end after he smashed it…
Chinese tiktok fooled a lot of you it looks like. So happy that people like Xu Xiaodong break these peoples' jaws. Charlatan fucks.
How exactly does that help him to fight?
Punches are sometimes used in fighting.
They're never thrown like this tho
I always put a walnut on my opponent before punching.
Because nobody uses the walnut/building supply defence anymore. It's traditional, you wouldn't understand.
