If so then surely you know the secret behind the alleged trick.


I have yet to see the guy who breaks things in demos be able to step out back and strike through a brick wall in the alley outside.
A brick wall is a bit different from a stack of bricks. And a little thing called vandalism would make it unlikely to ever see such a video.

Maybe an iron palm prationer could strike a brick wall that has been contructed for their demo.

Now I'm not saying there is no chance that people can fake the ability to break bricks. You could form the brick out of a brittle substance that resembles a solid brick and is easy to destroy.

But don't you think that a controlled experiment broadcast in a documentary by a reputed scientific organization like National Geographic has some credibility?

Surely Rickson Gracie would not participate in a show that presented parlor tricks as authentic martial arts skill.


LOL... more rip-off brainwashing of students.
Possibly. He did perform a technique on the host of the documentary, or maybe he is just a liar. Ofcourse if Dim Mak were legit you could do it on anyone not just students.
