How The Hand Reacts In A Karate Chop

brainiac kicks ass, leave it to a British show

That's flipping cool. Crazy how the human body can adapt to these types of circumstances when trained. Not to dis the guy, but I like what Bruce Lee said in Enter The Dragon - "boards don't hit back". :-P

Most of the comments here are just too negative I'd love to see a video of one you "haters" going up against that guy because it would be fun watching you get you asses kicked while your talking about bad form, not real, etc, etc.

REAL!

That type of industial block is the concrete equivalent of compacted sawdust compared to a plank of wood: it has no grain to prevent it cracking. A chopping hand can break it by the scientific principle of Pressure (a flat hand slap could not break a sheet of cardboard). So, I confide the film is truthful. (PS I tried to rate 3 but got stopped at 1)

disgusting!!!

there is no brick

Arthritis. Also, I like apples with peanut butter.

You guys calling fake is funny. People break a lot harder things than that with a strike . I'd like to comment that he had poor form though. His hand shouldn't have gone quite so gooey like that. You'll notice how his fingers were separated a bit from each other just before making contact. I bet you that slip hurt his hand a lot :P (and for the record, yes I've broken hard objects like that before - although granted not as big)

Or it's a light brick... something people tend to call a breeze block.

yeah. thats not a brick, its foam or somerthing. look it how the guy picks it up from the ground.. its like hes picking up air.

that hand actually looks fake. not saying it is it just looks it. and breaking bricks isn't that hard why is everyone always convinced it's fake.

Do any of you know how photoshop works? It can handle video, but 99% of the time video is edited with video editing software like final cut, after effects, fusion, or others. Photoshop is usually used for still photos. People have to stop trying to call "photoshop" ; all the time cause you look like idiots. Almost every photo published nowadays uses digital post-processing to some degree. Every part of this page was probably in photoshop at some point, its an industry standard design tool. And who cares how hard the substance was that he hit with his hand? You obviously missed the point of the video.

It looked light because it is light. Its not a brick at all, it's an aerated autoclaved concrete block. It's mostly air. And exactly what purpose would faking this video serve?

OK the internet fakeaholics are starting to make absolutely NO SENSE! WHY would they fake this? They aren't trying to prove you can karate-chop a breezeblock, they're showing you what happens...

This is from a British science show called "Brainiac" . Im 100% sure that this isnt fake, cause if seen one of my teachers do this.

Wao totaly fotoshopped lolzzzzz!!!!!1!

FAKE!!!

I hope you all die in a lake of boiling human excrement. and i hope it gets all in your mouth.

photoshopped

The brick is very brittle and the supports are very far apart, it would not take much force to propagate a crack. Try breaking a small pebble and i would be much more impressed.

If you did a karate chop straight on the edge of your hand, you'd break your bone. The chop is done slightly off the edge of your hand, toward your palm, which is why he looks like he's slapping the brick at the end.

Now let this guy do the robot in slow motion!

hi

that by the looks of it is from braniac woooo. o and the reason the brick lookd light is cos its manly all just cenent prity weak in conparison to a house brick. but yep defuntly ouch!

ouchy

Just weird.
