7 days to iron fist?

[opr1945]

In the following video the Guy is able to get tough enough to break a board and porcelain tile. at around 8 minutes into video he succeeds in breaking both. BUT, note that he breaking the board against the grain, not with it. Also, the board breaks evenly straight across the board as if mostly cut by a saw. I have broken many a pine board in my life (not as a martial artist but as a handyman) none of them broke straight as a ruler. And many shattered instead of a clean break in any direction. Especially across the grain. I also broke a few porcelain items and lots of terra cotta items. Especially there was a danger of slivers with the porcelain similar to glass. I never saw a straight line break unless it was scored first.

Comments?

Kid wouldn't survive 10 seconds in a fight.

So why would anyone give a damn about his videos.

Garbage, sorry.

He's not asking about that.

Not impressed. Those tiles, you can stack a whole bunch of them, and I mean a bunch, place your knuckles against the top and just drop your shoulder with no bodyweight behind it and they'll all break like it's nothing.

My opinion, it is a great way to cripple yourself without proper training

 

[opr1945]

Actually, my suspicion is that the board and tile were "pre cut" to make them easier to break.

lol I'm pretty sure Iron Fist training doesn't set in 8 days. lol.
That's why it hurt him when he broke the board.

Phony baloney… it’s a trick, not even a good one at that.

Oh? He asked for comments

I thought the video was garbage, and the Youtube personality is some child who is claiming to study some ancient art.

What do you think he is asking?

Well one single tile like that wouldn't need to be pre cut. It'll snap if you breathe on it wrong (we just finished tiling a floor with those big ones). The board, who knows. Could've been grooved on one side. I couldn't see anything with the video slowed down though. Lol maybe he soaked it in water for a couple days first

I don't break boards I break faces lol

But seriously picking the correct type of wood and taking note of the grain of wood is important. They aren't just breaking any type of wood.

Well he's clearly posted the video, talked about it, the iron fist training, noted the straight line break, and asked for comments on that.

He didn't say give me any comment you like. If that was the case, then I think it'd be really cool to own a dragon, but man the responsibilities would be huge... Not only to train it right, but to ensure the least amount of destruction to your community. I mean, there's likely to be some, but sure it'd be worth it in the end. BUT can you really domesticate a dragon? That may be the real question...

If you look at that kid's channel is all click bait.

I don't know the first thing about " iron fist" conditioning aside from hitting bags and stuff, but I think his whole video failed the sniff test.

This is another example of someone who clearly isn't training, trying to monetize his channel. And he looks like a stiff breeze might kill him

Yes, you live in Australia, get a Goanna hatchling ( Lace Monitor ) In 5 years you will have a dragon. No fire, no wings, but a dragon no less.

Okay, to be more direct I am thinking that the Iron Fist video is fraud, fake, not real. As I noted my experience is that ceramic tile can be very fragile or strong for reasons that are beyond me. I just know that sometimes when I dropped one it would shatter. But never in a straight line. Other times it held up well to force.

Most board breaking videos I have seen the board breaks along with grain. Boards seem to be much stronger across grain. I have had pine boards break along the grain when dropped. However, when struck across the grain they are much stronger, And my experience is the breaks were never straight across 90 degrees from the edge.

So my belief is they are fake. But, I have been wrong in the past and this Karate is new to me. I was requesting comments about the authenticity of the alleged breaking.

NEXT VIDEO: "I thought the video was garbage, and the Youtube personality is some child who is claiming to study some ancient art."
Personally, I don't think the 3 year old child was "claiming to study some ancient art." It was breaking a board, as the other video was, and it was cute. But, again I could be wrong, that would not be uncommon, as my wife frequently points out.

Whew.......
