Did JCVD do an actual technique?

[G Money Slick]

Remember the old karate flick Bloodsport? That one scene where JCVD did some kind of palm strike on the cement block pile and only destroyed the bottom block. Is this an actual technique that's been done by anybody here or is it just more of his garbage "Hollywood Karate" that I hear of. He's kind of a washed up joke in MA but it was an awesome scene.

supposedly, there are masters of internal martial arts that can do it, but I've never actually seen it done.

I have never heard of a brick on the bottom of a pile shattering. I have heard of them being cracked but have never seen this with my own eyes. As I've said before, most of the breaking that I've seen done used some sort of gimmick to facilitate the break. Note I said most, not all, before anyone gets their panties in a twist.

"Dim mak (death touch) is an ancient martial art that consists of striking certain points on the body to cause illness or death. The points are usually called dim mak points, but they are also referred to as vital points and pressure points. The majority of these points correspond to the same locations as acupuncture points. Dim mak is an extremely dangerous martial art, which can cause a great deal of damage to the human body. The effects of attacking the dim mak points include knockout, death, and a delayed death. Many have seen videotapes and seminars where a subject looses consciousness after being struck on certain points. Although this is a very dramatic demonstration method, it could have dangerous consequences."
