SoulAssassin Posted March 10, 2003 Posted March 10, 2003 I seen movies (and espn2) where there is a stack of bricks and someone can pick one out and the martial artist will break only that brick from the whole stack. I posted it here in the Internal Arts because I feel it would be from an internal art that this would come from.. (and if i remember somone did something similiar to this on espn2 and i think he said it was his chi) -SoulAssassin"I aint gonna eat, I aint gonna sleep, aint gonna breath till I see what I wanna see and what I wanna see is you goto asleep, in the dirt permanently"
JerryLove Posted March 10, 2003 Posted March 10, 2003 I can do the "front board or back board" with some reliability. I don't think the basic concept of picking a brick is pysically impossible, but I'd imagine it requires a skill the human body cannot reproduce. So far, I have never seen it done (other than first or last of 2) under controlled conditions. I'm dubious. https://www.clearsilat.com
ZeRo Posted March 10, 2003 Posted March 10, 2003 i dunno that seems kinda fake to me, but ive never seen it or done it so i cant really comment.
karatekid1975 Posted March 10, 2003 Posted March 10, 2003 I seen it on ESPN2 also. It has something to do with Ki. They can focus their Ki energy on the board/brick they pick and only break that one. I could be wrong, though. I don't know much about ki energy yet. But I don't think it's fake. Laurie F
JerryLove Posted March 10, 2003 Posted March 10, 2003 Considering that breaking one of two is a matter if Peng (penitration) and can be imitated by a machine, I doubt there's a "Chi" involved. Again, I've never seen anyone who can do it under controlled conditions.. if I do, I'll start worrying about how. https://www.clearsilat.com
SoulAssassin Posted March 11, 2003 Author Posted March 11, 2003 KarateKid1975 I thought I saw it on espn as well I also thought I heard, chi, ki, qi something. He focused on one of the bricks in the row and hit the top and then moved the bricks off and that one was broken... I mean there wasnt 40 bricks laying there but it was enough to look amazing.. hehe just making sure im not nuts -SoulAssassin"I aint gonna eat, I aint gonna sleep, aint gonna breath till I see what I wanna see and what I wanna see is you goto asleep, in the dirt permanently"
JerryLove Posted March 11, 2003 Posted March 11, 2003 The problem being, it's easy to fake (soak a brick in water and pop it in the freezer). https://www.clearsilat.com
tkdlegend Posted March 13, 2003 Posted March 13, 2003 does freezing the brick actually work? it would be interesting to see nonetheless.. -= To truly be immortal, you must be ready to face death. =-
BKJ1216 Posted March 13, 2003 Posted March 13, 2003 Feezing a birck works because water gets into the cracks of the bricks. Then when you freeze it it expands forcing the birck apart a little and making it weaker. White Belt- Shudokan Karate
