this is bullsh!t. Fulltime bullSh!t. qigong my @ss. even my fart can break bricks. who is he trying to kid. just like boxer rebellion , if guns are available freely he would also bullsh!t about able to deflect bullets with his "iron shirt" kungfu and put up some demo and some idiot would also believe it and sing his praise. just like you can always find people in this age who still believe the world is flat.
you can't fight stupidity with these people. common sense does not work.
I am a martial artist myself and 99% of these demos are crap. you wanna break bricks? no problem. Soak it in vinegar or battery acid overnight is one method. it becomes soft and briittle. anothe rmethod is use a hammer and and break it in the middle and then superglue the pieces back but put only a little glue at the edges to hold it so that it looks whole and intact but breaks with the smallest punch. For added effect , add in some flour or talcum powder into the crevices so that the breaking looks real and "explosives-like". who taught me this??? a former Shaw brothers kungfu special effects guy in the 1970s when I was in HK!!!!!!!! see the old kungfu movies. they are more impressive. real kungfu experts in HK and even singapore always keep a very low profile. why? to avoid stupid guys who like to challenge them to a pointless fight. why fight with amateurs and conmen when you have nothing to prove to idiots like them. In HK they have beimos. fights behind closed doors. losers would know the real meaning of defeat ie pain, humilty, and lots of it. winners would just keep quiet and walk out looking satisfied. no bragging. that's real world experts.
Your explanation is logical.
I was unable to figure out the vid clip where this Sim Bullshitter smashes a free standing brick which I assumed it normal contruction brick. The physics I know cannot explained how the brick was broken until I read your thesis. What cheat this Sim Poh Huat. What is Nam Wah Pai famous for?
The feud between this crook and his eldest brother Sim Pooh Ho who taught him the martial art but also failed him as taiji instructor when Pooh Ho was president of the Chinese Martial Art Assoc in Tanjong Katong Rd
I Poh Huat broke off with brother becos he went his crooked ways against his brother advice...
So is Poh Huat wants to be recognised he shud clinch the MMA championship........... if he dare
