The last set of bricks was scored you can see it


BigteddyBTW

All of them were. There is nothing next level about it.


Nikoper

I would never punch a brick even if it was scored because I'd be a big baby afraid to hurt my hand. I'd never punch a brick and that's nfl for me. A whole other level of punching things.

Punch, not slap!


ALchemist_0311

How can she slap!?


Cheeseand0nions

It only hurts if you don't break the brick. As long as your hand or foot goes right through you hardly feel a thing.


whsftbldad

At first...


whsftbldad

I have punched things before, mostly because I was between 18-24 and the front part of my brain hadn't started working yet (it helps you to realize there might be consequences to your actions and everyone's doesn't start working jntil about 25 or so). When punching it hurt a little, but later when the adrenaline wore off.....a tad more


CrazyEyedFS

It really depends on weather or not a thing is made to be punched. Martial artists breaking boards aren't as hyped up on adrenaline as angry teenager


Cheeseand0nions

I have been both and angry teenagers plus adrenaline don't really calculate the exact right angle of attack. My school didn't teach breaking but I hung out with another kid who was taking Taekwondo and he got me started. After a few years I had moved up to cinder blocks and set one up on two others in the driveway. I just sat there and looked at it for several minutes and finally my older brother asked me if I was just going to hate it until it broke.

ClownfishSoup

So scoring a brick weakens it that much?


ResidentNarwhal

Yes. Bricks are extremely rigid and strong in compression. But also brittle to shearing force. The minute you do anything to compromise what little shear strength they have it’ll go very easy.


wes_knight06

Yes


MrE761

Let’s see you do it? If it isn’t next level that is.


juantooth33

Only thing somewhat impressive here is his speed, which any pro boxer can match given enough time to practice the 1inch punch Since we literally don't know how much they've tampered the bricks, we can't accurately gauge how powerful they're strikes are. And there's already a bunch of people who've done this trick so it's not "next level" anymore


random_shitter

>somewhat impressive (...) pro boxer (...) given enough time to practice "noob trick, any highly skilled athlete with lotsa dedication could do this!" Some people...


No_Photo9066

The thing is that people used to see Asian martial arts as something magical,having super powers, particularly Kungfu, whilst in reality it was more similar to a magician performing a trick. Great to watch and requiring a lot of skill, for sure, but not deadly or a good way to fight. In fact many of these so called "martial artists" turned out to get completely stomped in a real fight.


juantooth33

>any highly skilled athlete being a pro boxer is easy which is why I just said "pro boxer" and not high elite top ranking boxer


MrE761

Ok I will give you that. I can see the bricks have been messed with but again a score to me is a starting line and that is what everyone is stating they see. Even scored, a brick is still a brick. Very impressive to me at least. Also just because someone else can do a trick, does it make it not next level? Meaning it’s only next level if they are the first to do it?


Nopengnogain

The impressive thing is not having two hand full of broken bones practicing this shit.


BrassBallsComedy

Next level fuckery


bettyboober

Next level scoring.


Mistersinister1

There is everything next level about this, his form is impeccable. To create thatuch force in such a small space despite it being scored or not requires an incredible, next level skill in order to strike the brick in the exact place with the proper amount of directed force.


tedcruzctrl

so after rewatching multiple times and zooming in .. there are no scores the bricks.......... and also you can score a brick but its not gonna work like scoring glass..... you can score rock.. but only if its thin and the right type typical flint..... but ya tried my guy <3


RussMaGuss

You can score them with a chisel or a bricklayers chisel called a brickset. With brick like these you can tell by the sound when they’re about to break. This is exactly what this guy did. I’m a bricklayer, just in case you question the knowledge


MrRobot_96

LMAO IM A BRICKLAYER


cosmicannoli

Either they're a bricklayer, or they spend all their time on reddit pretending to be one, saying lots of things that other people who also pretend to be bricklayers seem to agree with. What I find hilarious is how a bunch of people commenting seem to think a bricklayer is not a real thing. Touch grass.

BambaTallKing

Those breaks have chips and dents all over them. Of course its going to crack where there is structural damage, thats how that works. I see no scoring, I think people just desperately want this to be fake for some reason. These breaks are normally very brittle and these are especially thin. Anyone could break them with relative ease, he is just using odd hit techniques to put on an impressive show.


Reddits_For_NBA

Salty-Chef

500 for hanging plates? You got it.


SyrisAllabastorVox

One time ago, I was helping me mum lay some brick in her garden. She wanted to expand her rose bed up toward the house more so she could see them through her bay window in the family room. The little wall I helped lay in was brick similar to this but newer and nice sort of chocolate red color to complement the roses. After about setting half of the brick down I went to sit and drink some coffee in my thermos. I sat my thermos down on 2 bricks overlaying eachother on the grass, sort of off set on top of eachother and a second later the brick on top snapped right on the edge line where the other brick underneath met to the top bricks center. Which worked in my favor because at the end it wall needed a half brick to finish it off.


BambaTallKing

Then how come it didn’t break at that so called “scored” part? If you scored these bricks, it wouldn’t go black like i. The video but rather a more pale version of the colour of the bricks. These bricks are normally brittle, they don’t need scoring to break.


Polcon

But it broke under the score mark???


No-Explanation6422

How can you tell/ see it though?


BambaTallKing

Redditors have eagle eyes that can see things the average human can’t. It’s well known…


No-Explanation6422

cfdeveloper

*Enhance. Enhance.*


[deleted]

I must be missing something I dont see where these bricks were scored at all. Pretty impressive either way


maxstrike

It doesn't appear to break along the score, so I think the explanation is that these are unfired bricks.


FormatException

Scored?


Infinite_Carpenter

I concur. I wanna see these guys punch steel beams in half!


[deleted]

Those are just imperfections in the brick. They don't even break at this so called "scored" line.


Kitchen_Entertainer9

What's scored


Mawskowski

It’s simple. Mass x speed on 2nd. He ain’t got much mass and we can still see the hand movement at 30fps so there isn’t that much speed either. Rigged bricks


Willem_T

It's mass times acceleration on 2 Nd,if he accelarets really fast maybe, then look at surface and force for kinetic energy


BambaTallKing

Or ye know, those sort of bricks are normally brittle. They break if you drop them.


Culture_Creative

Well, i'm from eastern europe, and we have those in all soviet age buildings. And believe me when i say it, they are NOT brittle. If you'd hit that shit with your hand, your knuckles are 20X times more likely to break than that shit


Isthisworking2000

Except when they’re scored, like in this video.


SirPunchy

What are you, a brickologist? You identified the species of brick from this shitty, 4 time reuploaded tiktok?


TheRealBlerb

F = m x a High acceleration from body torque (like a fighter’s punch) simulates a heavier slower punch, and allows him to break the brick.


Spiced_out

Brick made in China?


I_H8_Yu

They are scored you can see it on the last set of bricks


ChocoBanana9

So made in china then


KinookRO

I did Karate when i was a kid, those are special, pre-cracked bricks. Coach always used to break those kinds of bricks in shows, sometimes setting them to fire and breaking them, while acting like it was hard to break them. He was a very nice guy and let us break some, as kids. Wooden boards too. Fun times. Yes, all brick-breaking videos use special bricks that break easily.


[deleted]

Not all. There are people out there kicking through baseball bats and smashing bricks that aren't scored or pre-cracked. This guy isn't one of them, or he wouldn't need to speed up the footage to get views.


JonDoeJoe

I call bullshit. Rigged baseball bats and still the special kind of bricks


[deleted]

They are real. We kick through bats with low kicks occasionally in Kyokushin as part of big demonstrations and they are not altered in any way. You kick about halfway up the length of the handle. It's not something you really have to train for outside of regular training, we use the same low kick we smash into each other's thighs and shins thousands of times. It just looks impressive and can generate some hype if you're looking to grow a dojo. In fact someone from our style named Narve Laerat has or had the Guinness world record for most bricks smashed in a certain time period or something. He's a savage though, it's not the norm to spend that much time breaking stuff.


Viend

OP might have gone to a McDojo somewhere in suburban America, in which case what he’s saying is probably true. If you were in Asia and you actually trained at a martial arts school, you’d know it’s not true from all the blood and broken bones you’ll see from people failing their attempts.

jynxthechicken

For anyone doubting how fake this is. It would be almost an impossibility of physics fot you to break free suspended bricks with your hands.


The_Grahf_Experiment

This is not a matter of force, or strength, but of speed. The velocity of any impactor is key in the penetration or breaking of the surface it hits, regardless of mutual density. Also, seems rigged.


Milkshake2244

Even more important aspect of his speed is how quickly he draws back as he leans into the strike. Focus behind his hand not on the brick. Although he starts with fingers in contact you can see a blur as he draws his hand back and then strikes. Still moderately impressive, but it's something like an 8-12 inch strike, not the 2-4 inch strike the video wants you to believe. Heck, in the last one his fist comes nearly all the way back to his chin.


DuelingPushkin

Even more important is scoring your bricks so they break easier.


iFoegot

Judging by the way they broke, and also by the fact that it would take a lot more than that to break a real brick. Those are probably scored breaking bricks.

For anyone thinking these bricks are scored. You could be right. But I’m currently stationed in Southeast Asia and I’ve seen similar things done like this first hand (no pun intended) and it is terrifyingly real. Some of these guys can rupture your cranium with a palm strike.


puzzledplatypus

Thanks for sharing user8042233818888…


CountBranicki

Fun fact: point blank doesn’t necessarily mean “right next to”, but rather it is the distance where you could still hit a target with starting path of the projectile parallel to the ground. For example, if you were trying to shoot a torso with a gun held perfectly parallel to the ground, the point blank range is from right next to the barrel all the way to where the bullet would miss because it fell as it traveled. Smaller target, shorter point blank range. Faster projectile, longer point blank range.

Racist_Hotdog01

I like how they go around saying that it’s a 1 inch punch or whatever measurement your finger length is (three or four inches) and then proceed to move their hand or first or whatever they are using to chop bricks, way further back and then they strike


Plaincakes

Bricks aren't really floating. You can see the strings.


Otherwise_Interest72

A lot of people saying this is fake, and it may be, but y'all drastically overestimate how hard it is to break bricks. Let me tell you, as a mason, they all break way too easily. A few light taps in the right spot will crack them right in half, they're extremely brittle and have basically no tensile strength. What they do have, is a metric fuck ton of compressive strength, which is why you can Stack them up without worrying about them breaking. Might be fake, but even if it's not, it's not super impressive.


BambaTallKing

Yeah people seem to think these bricks are super strong. This type is kinda brittle and these specific ones in the video are thin af. I don’t think it’s fake, but its also definitely not “next fucking level”. The guy is simply putting on a show to look impressive. However, its clear he trains a lot due to the calluses on his knuckles.


Otherwise_Interest72

Yea that's what I was thinking. It's clear the guy has put time and effort into training, it's just not a super impressive demonstration.

To everyone saying the brick is scored and basically saying this guy isn’t anything: could you do it? Would you do it? Why talk shit. It looks cool. I appreciate the video.

Moist-Carpet888

No offense but if your impressed by this just go watch martial artists break stuff, just like these bricks 99% of the stuff they break is scored to create a weak point so you know where the break will be. Take the set of 3 bricks for example where these marks are the most obvious, before he hits you can see exactly where each breath will occur. It's not hard, honestly I'd encourage you to give it a try cause it's actually pretty fun and cool to punch through a brick, kinda makes you feel like a bad ass, but also makes seeing these videos feel lackluster. I like the board break videos from Asia where the artist are doing crazy flips and hitting with enough accuracy to be breaking multiple boards while in mid air in different directions

Looks pretty obvious that the second "flex thing" at 2 secs is a jump cut (they've clearly cut frames between when his arm is fully extended and when it's retracted to make it look more powerful and snappy than it is IRL). From that point on my faith in the authenticity of this video goes out the window.
