However, most karate bricks are treated before they are chopped: Soaking wet, in a pan of water, baked at 95C for a few hours. (or something similar) I loved it!

The "crunch" sound really made me cringe in pain, however, the dust ripple from the brick? Awesome. I did not expect that to happen!

He wouldn't have been able to chop through most normal bricks, nor would he be able to chop through a solid steel bar. but it really does look impressive in ultra slow mo :-D well, red, that is sorta a no-brainer.

Hence why it's so much in your mind and not just brute force.

Makes me really question the mixture used to create the bricks for these types of demonstrations.
