    Dear westerners, martial arts Is not a skill that is developed for winning street fights. It's a form of meditation. It's spiritual. It's funny how so many people are calling this a useless skill just because it has got nothing to do with street/real fights.

    Bullshit, a martial art that not for fighting but meditating is a fake thing and it can't be called martial art. How about calling it yoga or aerobic or dance sport etc? That training to break brick is useful in fighting or not is different thing, and those guys saying it is useless are know nothing about martial art. But men, martial art not for fighting is bull shit. I'm Asian men.

    The bricks seem to get switched out for fake ones at 1:05 (the transition cut, the changed color etc) so... i kind of doubt his skills to be honest. Also, chinese martial arts have repeatedly been shown to be extremely ineffective in actual combat, though china makes you publically apologize and then executes you if you prove that to them.

I've seen guys who can do this type of chi Gung but that doesn't mean you can fight. It just means you have a hard hand and you can break bricks.

    Ok let keep it real. There is no such thing are a perfect fighting at. It's all about how you train it and delivery of the skill. Every art can hurt you if done correctly. If one of his blows hit you regardless if it real bricks or not it can break your jaw or bones. Alot of people underestimate traditional styles. Until you meet the right one and get hurt behind it. Yes, there are some fake one out there but there are some really dangerous traditional styles out. Just be careful and give them respect for there accomplishments. This man is really awesome! I would love to train with him to help me become a better martial artists. Thank you sir!

    I do iron palm mung beans. So heard from this kung fu instructor that he trains in only iron palm mung beans. He says that doing gravel or steel shots can cause injury and is unncessary . For external iron body do you recommend just stay on mung bean canvas bag stick ? or advance to gravel and then steel shots? Ps ben doing iron palm a few years. How come I can't even break one real brick not baked ?

    Don't mean to be disrespectful, but look closely 01:31 - 01:32 when he placed his left palm on the bricks as his right hand was smacking the bricks. So that was a lil trick to ensure the breakage went straight top to bottom. If you said, it's due to the fact that at 01:27 only half of bricks pile was placed on the concrete block, then ask yourself: was it really essential as for the purpose of breaking the pile? Why don't you put the brick pile, as a whole, on the middle of the concrete block.

I'm Asian btw, but not Chinese though I respect asain cultures alot because of movies, meditating, and thinking positive also not showing off strengthen.

    Pro tip from a chef ... put your tomato sauce over the cooked beef and let it simmer for 10-20 minutes, with garlic, black pepper, basil and salt. Italian style, and it will taste a lot better (not to mention look a lot better). Chopped onion, a pinch of sugar, and parmesan cheese is also nice, just sayin '.

    I practised hung gar (tiger crane) kung fu for 2 years in the late 1960's. My sifu spoke about iron palm. He told me it can be dangerous to train with it, developing blood clots in your hands that could travel to other parts of your body and damage them. For that reason he said it should only be done under the supervision of a sifu that truly understands it and has a knowledge of Chinese medicine to treat problems that arise. He also told me that the hand becomes a "dead" hand in that it loses fine sensory skills. For that reason many sifus would condition only one hand and leave the other hand untainted. My sifu did not practice iron palm himself but did breaking once in a while. He was about 5'7" and maybe 140 pounds. He'd set up 3 bricks and he'd tell you to choose one of the bricks, bottom, middle or top. At will he could break the top, middle or bottom leaving the other 2 unbroken. That's where some of the black magic stuff of martial arts has some credibility with me.

    @@Bj-yf3im This was in Connecticutt, USA. I loved training with him and stayed with him for my last 2 years of high school before I moved away to college. Before that I dabbled in judo but never really took to it. He started my love affair with martial arts. Once I moved away to college I studied Uechi ryu karate which I still train in to this day. I achieved my shodan (1st degree blackbelt) and then moved too often to advance any further. To round out my education I also studied BJJ for 3 years (until a hand injury sidelined me) as well as a couple of years of Wing chun and a year of Southern Praying Mantis. As for the iron palm my career choice led me to dentistry so the "dead" hand I mentioned definitely wouldn't have been a good idea. But to put it into a context for those times, kung fu was barely known back then in 1969 and when I started it was like this dark mysterious art that not many people knew about. My hung gar sifu back then, Peter Robinson was super impressive. He was a real technician; fast and precise in every moment with beautiful form even when free sparring. He's gone now but I consider myself extremely fortunate to have learned under him as well as my Uechi ryu sensei.

    @@shevetlevi2821 That's amazing! I really like how well rounded your martial arts training has been, i.e. both modern and traditional. I have always been fascinated by martial arts and trained in quite a few, including Goju Ryu Karate, Japanese Jujutsu, Kickboxing, Muay Thai and Wushu. I especially liked my Wushu teacher who was a classmate of Yuan Wen Qing, of whom there are several videos on KZread. He mainly taught Wushu as a performance art, but he also taught us some fighting techniques and how they are found in the fancy solo moves. He apparently also had some skill in acupuncture/Chinese medicine, since he often massaged points on certain meridians to relieve pain we had. One time after relieving a pain in my chest by forcefully massaging my arms (incredible, right?! 🤣), he said "Look, that's where your problem was!" and pointed at my left arm; both my arms were red after the massage, but on the left arm there was a purplish/bluish/black-ish spot in the middle near my elbow! It was not a painful bruise, just a freaky, non-painful spot! 😳 I recently found a place teaching Chinese medicine as taught by Dr. Van Buren (International College of Oriental Medicine) and I have been seeing similar amazing recoveries/results from acupuncture treatments there, both from personally receiving treatments and seeing others being treated. I hope I will be able to become proficient in it. I also hope that Chinese medicine will be taught to more and more people and researched thoroughly with modern medical technology. Hopefully, it will trigger more advancements in medicine as a whole regardless of whether you call it Eastern or Western.

    @@Bj-yf3im Your background is quite impressive too. Great mix of practical combat systems and the more esoteric martial arts. Chinese medicine is fascinating. I used to make my own dit dah jow to treat superficial bruising. When I studied Southern Praying Mantis I learned how Chi gung was actually a sister art to it and the cultivation of chi went hand and hand with Mantis. My instructor (student of Henry Poo Yee) told me how he found this old book written decades earlier about chi gung and the book told how it was important to "swallow the little red boy" each morning. This was a metaphor for doing certain chi exercises while watching the rising sun. Those who were serious students of Southern Mantis would arrange their day to wake very early in the morning to do certain exercises in order to match the "tides" of the body's chi and blood flow. Fascinating.
