I think i commented about this thing and said i don't think people can do this,only hurt themselves and some bro was there saying bro be quiet. What the hell?
Don't know if this will be read, but I have been practicing martial arts for 20+ years and used to teach at a TKD school that did a lot of plastic and wooden board breaking. The key to breaking a proper piece of wood is to break WITH the wood grain, thereby snapping the board cleanly in half. You can see the board in his video is running the length of the board instead of its width, perpendicularly to his strike, meaning there is no way that board would have been broken that cleanly on its width without it being pre-cut prior to the punch. Same board or not, it was definitely faked. P.S. HUGE fan of your content, always insightful and humorous, thank you for the wonderful content you make!
Yes! exactly, saved me some time from explaining the same thing, I'm a wood worker and I know shit about grain, there is no way you would break it this way, even if you full on smashed it with a sledge hammer (or something blunt that would deffo break a plank like this) with the grain going like this, it wouldn't be a clean break, no way on earth
Used to do Kyokushin Karate for 1.5 yrs and I agree. Wood boards where the grains are horizontal(they go left to right) are basically not possible(or super hard) to break. The wood grain has to run vertical(they go top to bottom) that way when you punch the plank, it just follows the grains downwards and splits in half. Way easier to break. Also the whole deal with him making a big deal of training his fist for a week and then his fist is strong enough to break stuff is just anime power up bs he did for content. An average person can break a wooden plank with just their natural bone strength. I never did any specialized training and I was still able to break one plank with a closed fist for my belt test(and i was and still am a 5'2 skinny lil bitch), it didn't even hurt that badly.
i just lost time to explain it allso .. i studiet carpentry and i allso broke some shit as a kid and a youngster allso. If he would even try to break that piece of wood he tried on.. he would just obliterate his hand and knuckles.
You are all right. Where he punched was NOT at all where to wood broke and there is a small mark, on the sides, that looks like it's pre-cut but from underneath the surface (10:42 and 10:46). Wich, coincidently, is where the plank broke. Plus, after a full week of training, there is no way he could do what he could not, at the beginning, from the simple fact that his hands had no time to heal and calcify properly.
Scar tissue builds up when you injure something over and over again. Also the difference in breaking the wood is the support size. In the first clip the support is closer which makes it harder and on the 2nd the wood is barely at the end which makes it a lot easier
Ranton I learned "Iron Palm" from a close friend from China. Basically it has a lot of "mysticism" surrounding it like Qigong.. but basically the TRUE "Iron Fist" is not hand conditioning. It's tendon /fascia training from repeated use. And it also teaches timing for strikes. Lmk what your thoughts are since you've had the real deal at Shaolin! Edit: 100 reps is good for lazy impatient Americans, 300 minimum but 1000 a day is what the oldies from China demand.
I learned Buddhas palm from a soccer playing shaolin monk that went into the life of crime and learned his training as a kid from sacred text he bought from a homeless man really was the true Buddha palm.
Stephen "Wonderboy" Thompson says he only does 200 reps a day, but I guess he's American lol. If you think about how much we rely on our hands and fingers and fine motor skills on a daily basis, you'd have to be a real meathead to do this 1,000 times a day if you ask me.
@@jimjambananaslam3596 I agree with you. When I was learning my style, I could only do 100 reps daily I had too much in my life to commit more it just makes the process slower but you'll still get results.
First thing I noticed is that he plank's edges were at 2/3 placed over the stone's surface, when he strikes the wood it's only at 1/3 over the surface and seemed more bent so it becomes more easy to destroy.
Ranton bro. I saw my hand in your video. Lol. That’s you and Jessie. Owe me a collab now to talk kung Fu. Yes. Come on viewers. Thumbs up this. It must be done.
If you look closely to the board the second time he hits it you can tell there is a cut in the middle, so the board was probably cut hin half almost fully and the placed upsidedown, you can also deduce it by the way the wood breaks perfectly in half.
My Wing Chun sifu has been doing iron palm for 40 years and like you said, his hands are basically rocks. His bottom three knuckles are basically just one big slab. When he wants to show off to new students he'll take a river rock in one hand and strikes it with the other, usually breaking it in half right away. Looks like arthritis hell to me but he claims it's not that bad. Only difference between this guy's method and my sifu is that he uses an herbal topical called Dit Da Jow before and after which I actually use when I get bruises or sprains
I can tell you what's going on with their hands. It's likely two different things. Those two things can happen at the same time, and it's possible for them to compound and build on one another. 1 - Callouses / scar tissue building on callouses / scar tissue. 2 - That kind of training, especially the actual breaking of hard things, causes minor and / or hairline fractures. These fractures never heal fully b/c the training continues and aren't typically noticed. Over the time, in the same was that scar tissue can build on itself, your bones begin to calcify via calcium deposits and this calcification can cause your hands to look deformed if it goes on long enough. That's a rough generalization, but I'm sure you get the idea. Fun fact - He's actually correct about adjusting the bone density. A lot of people write it off as "far eastern garbage", ranked up there with "chi". But, as I mentioned above, consistent pressures causes bone to calcify, which in turn will harden them. The chat saying it'll cause arthritis and it's bad for you, are stupid. If practiced safely, it's not bad for you. Bone hardening already NATURALLY occurs. Are they going to claim it's unhealthy when they see a cowboy's hands are rock solid? A construction worker? A rancher? A professional fighter? It's literally something we evolved with and the ancient Chinese learned to harness it. How the fuck do you think pro fighters can take hits w/o collapsing? Body hardening from spars and intense training. How the fuck do you think a Soldier can withstand the hardships they do? Same. Twitch chat, once again, batting zero for 100 and just being shockingly dumb. It's actually annoying the pace he's doing and the false positive results he's trying to display. You need WEEKS of slow escalation. WEEKS of sand. Weeks of sandbag. And so on. The whole " yo look it's already changing". Nah, sis. It's bruised as fuck b/c you wont let it recover. All you've done is force a cosmetic change in your skin that will go away the instant you stop training. Dude is about to get SO many people injured. "Check me out, I only 'trained" for a combined like 15hrs over an entire week and now I've improved so much I can break shit I couldn't early in the week".
I did spend some time of my youth breaking wooden boards and also wooden planks. Boards are cut in a way so you break them within the grain, that means when it breaks there is a clean line where it cracks. On the other side, wooden planks are not cut this way because it messes up with the strength of the wood. For that reason I needed a couple of attempts to break the plank and it cracks completely differently, there are a lot of splinters, and your skin will bleed as well. That Hafu Go video is definitely a cap.
I believe the correct translation is asbestosis around the joints. It cases MAD arthritis and all the symptoms of it in the highest level possible. It can be surgically removed but it will also need years and years of physical thereapy to (maybe) fully recover motion and strength. I ve done this for my mother for a normal toe osteoarthritis. Hopefully i answered your question Sifu Rantwo!
5:25 love how when asians roast each other it's always a lack of effort rather than competence that's the issue. it's not that he can't do it, he's just unwilling lmao
Kyokushin black belt here. Knuckle pushups or planks are the best for bigger bone mass and conditioning. The tension from putting your weight on your knuckles will cause the bone to adapt to the load and grow bigger in size the more you practice. Punching a wall to create micro fractures take longer time to heal and will damage nerve, bone shape and soft tissue in the process. Stick to punching bag if you want to work on technique and conditioning.
Looks like the board was pre cut on bottom side, with only a small amount of wood holding the board together on the Top, camera, side. This Resulted in the straight line break, when going against the grain. This only occurs when the wood is pre cut.
hey Ranton, is it possible for future vids for you to show us some kung fu forms? such as tongbay (sorry idk how to spell it) and other hand/weapon forms?
The wood has more support the way the concrete is holding it in first attempt. On the second attempt the wood dangles a bit more because the concrete is spread further apart. The closer (tighter) concrete makes wood hard. The stretched (blown out) concrete makes for a more flaccid wood. He did cheat but he didn't switch wood.
The wood was probably cut part way through first or cut and then glued back together. It wouldn't break in a line like that if it wasn't weakened first.
13:59 he wouldnt keep the wood and switch it because then people could look for cuts, especially with the trees (wind) in the background. he also might just not have been asked
Just figured I'd post a comment because there's finally something I'm kind of experienced with. I'm from a Wudang school. We practice Iron Palm and Iron Vest/Golden Vest/Etc whatever you want to call it. I've been doing it for about 8 almost 9 years now and it does work but not like the movies. You can't like send someone flying across the room with a flick. You're strengthening your hand muscles and conditioning the bone's and tendons to impact. We did a lot applications and sparring in class and me and other students met out of class to practice sparring and form applications with each other. It hurts when you block a punch, and sometimes it hurts when you're the guy punching too. Blocking a kick with your shin fucking blows sometimes. If you punch someone bareknuckle in the head and you have never conditioned your hand, you can break your hand lol I've seen it happen twice. In the MMA you see guys break their shins blocking kicks or having their kicks blocked. But you don't see that happen as often in a sport with limb conditioning like muay thai. Sifu would make us stand their and smack shins together for an hour or more sometimes then we'd go on to arms lol. We do iron palm bag exercises so that you can condition your hands to doing fingertip strikes and the like. A phoenix eye in someone's temple is debilitating, if you're strong enough not to break your knuckle on their skull. The bag is also good for tossing back and forth to each other. By catching it in different hand strikes you build up your grip strength when you're grabbing ahold of an opponent for a throw. We do the sand bucket exercises as well for the same reason. grip and finger tip conditioning. We also do work on the wooden man, which is just one big body conditioning tool. Wing Chun isn't the only system that uses the mook jung, but I think that it's one of the best things about Wing Chun. Fingertip push ups for obvious reasons, pussy. You get meaty hands after a while and you have a strong grip. You can snake strike or jian finger strike a tree with considerable force without fear of breaking your hand. Now you can actually hurt someone with one of those when you put it in their neck. My Sifu's hands were like a baseball mitt before he passed away. When he hit you, you fucking knew it. Hitting something many many times teaches you how to hit good. You can learn how to generate power all the way up your body into the target. Getting hit sucks too and iron vest sucks more. My Sifu no lie would make us stand in horse stance on bricks and hit us with a folded up 3 section staff over and over again. All the way up the body and back down, up and down the legs, up and down the arms, the back. You also condition your skull, jaw, and brow all the way around. There is of course the "how to train your dragon" of which I was never taught. Sifu had learned it in China, the technique of sucking your testicles up into your body, but he never went so far as to start hitting his cock and balls with a brick. I also have no intention of hitting my coke and boys with a brick either. For the first couple months your body will bruise and it will not be fun. But you just keep the dit da jow on, and you keep on it. You will get used to it. Your body and bones will stop bruising and you'll be able to progress to the next exercise. Palm bags go from mung bean, to mung bean sand, to sand, to sand iron beads, to mostly iron beads little sand. Iron vest goes from light stick, to waxwood, to thin metal rod, to iron staff. It's very fun I would recommend everyone go outside right now and start hitting themselves in the head with a stick.
also the people you see with the super deformed hands usually that comes from improper iron palm training. My Sifu said that some people harden their hands and some people polish them. Ideally you want to "polish" your hands. They need to be hard when you need hard and you need them to be soft when you need them to be soft. You want to slowly and gradually grind up the iron palm ladder so that the bones and muscles have time to strengthen at each level. The chinese people you see on tiktok with one giant red and black hand they can't even move, they're just breaking their shit straight up. They're going straight to the end of the book and punching through a pain threshold and causing real harm to their body. The clips Hafu used of the shaolin guys hitting the palm bag. You want to do that regularly, daily, for years and slowly progress through the bags. Your hands will be strong and you ooo you can break tough brick big man. But you'll still be able to use your fingers and grab things, your hands won't deform they'll just meat up a lot and get denser. Good iron palm training helps prevent things like arthritis, but if you practice it wrong you will cause it. In the video Hafu is hitting his iron palm bag way below him. You want the bag level with your forearm when you make contact. If there's a bend in your wrist it will cause wrist injuries in the future, you have to make sure you're striking level with the bag. You either have to drop your horse stance lower, or raise the bag higher. You're right in your video Ranton that most people don't have the time and dedication to do iron palm correctly, and I don't think most people should practice it. It's really really easy to hurt yourself doing iron palm. I have broken three bones between my hands this year on three separate occasions, all doing iron palm. It's easy to get carried away and hurt yourself because hitting things is fun. But you can't take back a strike after you throw it out. The first thing I think of when someone says iron palm is me jerking my hand back from the bag wondering if I accidentally broke my shit, and now I'll never be able to write or tie my shoes ever again. I don't recommend people do it, I only do it because my Sifu told me to do it. It's been apart of my regular workout for a long time, and if I didn't do it it'd feel weird. (don't mention that I said in the first comment I do recommend iron body conditioning, I understand I just said conflicting things. martial arts is a love hate relationship)
I gotta say i really like your Content.....ah sheiss drauf. Verfolge deinen Kanal nun seit ein paar Wochen und kann Dem ganzen echt was abgewinnen. Bin sehr von der KungFu-Welt begeistert und hoffe da auf mehr.

Maybe gehen paar Runden Tekken oder Mortal Kombat? Kann ich mir bei dir gut vorstellen.
It’s a different piece of wood, also wood breaking is very easy if it’s cut in a way where the grain structure breaks easy if pleases or held a certain way.
I'm a Carpenter by trade for 7 years. I work with all types of wood. That piece he broke I guarantee has a relif cut on the bottom. Wood does not break clean no matter how bad ass you are. The wood should have splinterd and broke into chaos. Nature has no order. That break was way to clean.
"when I started on day 1 I wasn't able to break the wood" He's not seriously suggesting he was actually trying? I mean he clearly just flicked at it with his fist the way you knock on a door, he wouldn't have been able to break a styrofoam block the way he hit that board. Probably COULD have broken it though if he had done it right - aimed far below the board and pushed through with force.
So many people don't understand basic properties of wood and spout almost conspiratorial theories about Hafu tempering with that plank. The reality is very simple, it is probably the same plank. The only major difference is that it was exposed to humidity. It absorbed moisture and became softer. Of course, as Ranton stated himself, the type of wood and its processing are a very important factors, without which we can't be 100% certain about the properties of that specific plank. However, one week in such climate can definitely be enough for softwood to start rotting if it was left exposed.
The board prior to him hitting it is a solid piece of wood, the board thats split is composite wood.. And looking at how clean of a break it was I want to say he's cut a groove on the side facing down..
There was definitely something fishy about the wood-break. It broke cleanly in half and perpendicular to the grain. That doesn't happen without tampering. When wood-breaking, usually the wood is braced and oriented such that you break it with the grain, because otherwise it is impossible. Even if you did break it perpendicular to the grain, it would not break cleanly, but would bend and splinter everywhere.
That's not how broken wood looks, it's way too clean and straight. To break so clean, I think he pre-cut the wood in the middle and flipped it, and I feel we can even see the mark.
I think he's just using a better punching technique. He was always able to break that board, he just basically made a training montage for the video lol.
Can I just point out that the 1st try the 2 breeze blocks were FAR closer together than on the 2nd try. If you look at the attempt when the wood breaks, the wood plank barely reaches halfway across either block which will make the plank significantly weaker. The 1st attempt at least the plank reaches almost to the end of both breeze blocks. I also think, although I may be wrong, that the 1st plank is shorter than the second plank although they might be from the same length of wood which has been unevenly sawn in half. It isn't just the woods strength which matters, the length of it matters hugely too which is exactly why on long boards you would place a third support in the centre to stop it from warping or breaking when being walked upon.
The collab would be EPIC
Amazing
look at how in 14:32 it breaks perfectly in half. Sus

It's absolutely fake.
The wood would NEVER split cleanly like that.
yeah, it was like a 90° cut against the grain. I guess it had a slot milled on the bottom side.
I subbed because your just so damn likeable and real. One martial artist to another, thanks for embodying the values of the art. Appreciate you

He can break the porcelain but it is sharp as a razor.
4:36 Why do I feel like it's not iron fist/palm but rather iron fingers 💀
THE WOOD WOULD NOT BREAK LIKE THAT, IN A STRAIGHT LINE
Yo I've been waiting for an upload in the Ranton channel for like a year! Didn't realise you were uploading here! Need some Ranton content for sure
Hell no that isn't the same board that he actually breaks. Looking along the edge of it, its 100000% different.
14:14
"Why would he show a different piece of wood?"
"He wood not"
I will see myself out
That wood looked like it had a cut in the middle.
Ranton pronounced a Norwegian word perfectly. "Nivå"
Cool
both the wood and the porcelain broke too cleanly with a straight line in half, plus the wood clearly had a line where it broke
breaking a plank need months of fist conditioning
You can see clearly that this wood has a sawing mark in the middle...the Break itself was too clean. Wood never breaks this way.
If that board wasn't pre-sawed it would have shattered or at least broke unevenly. Replicating this WILL BREAK YOUR HAND!
Did you forget he is now a "Shaolin" as well
I can poke my fingers through shit easy as hell when I’m stoned but not when I’m sober it’s all about confidence
That hafu guy just put a example of jake mace doing this tree slap and I think he don't know that jake mace is a Hell of a fraud
Wood will not break that clean and straight, it will splinter.
Wood would never break this way. It has been sawed!
11:10 There's a crack down the middle before he even punched it..
About the wood, the first one, bricks are close to each other, the second, the bricks are far away from each other so the wood will be weaker

Looks like the board was pre cut on bottom side, with only a small amount of wood holding the board together on the Top, camera, side. This Resulted in the straight line break, when going against the grain. This only occurs when the wood is pre cut.
hey Ranton, is it possible for future vids for you to show us some kung fu forms? such as tongbay (sorry idk how to spell it) and other hand/weapon forms?
The wood has more support the way the concrete is holding it in first attempt. On the second attempt the wood dangles a bit more because the concrete is spread further apart. The closer (tighter) concrete makes wood hard. The stretched (blown out) concrete makes for a more flaccid wood. He did cheat but he didn't switch wood.
The wood was probably cut part way through first or cut and then glued back together. It wouldn't break in a line like that if it wasn't weakened first.
At 5:52 He sounded like the geese from Regular Show. 😂
Board floated a bit when he throw it on the ground
"I have to investigate this".......
SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAASHHHHHH!!!!!
13:59 he wouldnt keep the wood and switch it because then people could look for cuts, especially with the trees (wind) in the background. he also might just not have been asked
Same piece of wood but the distance between the breeze blocks were not.
Callouses, bone-swelling, nerve damage, edema (fluid build-up in tissues), tendon damage, joint gas build-up, and arthritis.
its been cut thats why it was such a clean straight break!!!!
Just figured I'd post a comment because there's finally something I'm kind of experienced with. I'm from a Wudang school. We practice Iron Palm and Iron Vest/Golden Vest/Etc whatever you want to call it. I've been doing it for about 8 almost 9 years now and it does work but not like the movies. You can't like send someone flying across the room with a flick. You're strengthening your hand muscles and conditioning the bone's and tendons to impact. We did a lot applications and sparring in class and me and other students met out of class to practice sparring and form applications with each other. It hurts when you block a punch, and sometimes it hurts when you're the guy punching too. Blocking a kick with your shin fucking blows sometimes. If you punch someone bareknuckle in the head and you have never conditioned your hand, you can break your hand lol I've seen it happen twice. In the MMA you see guys break their shins blocking kicks or having their kicks blocked. But you don't see that happen as often in a sport with limb conditioning like muay thai. Sifu would make us stand their and smack shins together for an hour or more sometimes then we'd go on to arms lol.
We do iron palm bag exercises so that you can condition your hands to doing fingertip strikes and the like. A phoenix eye in someone's temple is debilitating, if you're strong enough not to break your knuckle on their skull. The bag is also good for tossing back and forth to each other. By catching it in different hand strikes you build up your grip strength when you're grabbing ahold of an opponent for a throw. We do the sand bucket exercises as well for the same reason. grip and finger tip conditioning. We also do work on the wooden man, which is just one big body conditioning tool. Wing Chun isn't the only system that uses the mook jung, but I think that it's one of the best things about Wing Chun. Fingertip push ups for obvious reasons, pussy. You get meaty hands after a while and you have a strong grip. You can snake strike or jian finger strike a tree with considerable force without fear of breaking your hand. Now you can actually hurt someone with one of those when you put it in their neck. My Sifu's hands were like a baseball mitt before he passed away. When he hit you, you fucking knew it.
Hitting something many many times teaches you how to hit good. You can learn how to generate power all the way up your body into the target. Getting hit sucks too and iron vest sucks more. My Sifu no lie would make us stand in horse stance on bricks and hit us with a folded up 3 section staff over and over again. All the way up the body and back down, up and down the legs, up and down the arms, the back. You also condition your skull, jaw, and brow all the way around. There is of course the "how to train your dragon" of which I was never taught. Sifu had learned it in China, the technique of sucking your testicles up into your body, but he never went so far as to start hitting his cock and balls with a brick. I also have no intention of hitting my coke and boys with a brick either. For the first couple months your body will bruise and it will not be fun. But you just keep the dit da jow on, and you keep on it. You will get used to it. Your body and bones will stop bruising and you'll be able to progress to the next exercise. Palm bags go from mung bean, to mung bean sand, to sand, to sand iron beads, to mostly iron beads little sand. Iron vest goes from light stick, to waxwood, to thin metal rod, to iron staff. It's very fun I would recommend everyone go outside right now and start hitting themselves in the head with a stick.
also the people you see with the super deformed hands usually that comes from improper iron palm training. My Sifu said that some people harden their hands and some people polish them. Ideally you want to "polish" your hands. They need to be hard when you need hard and you need them to be soft when you need them to be soft. You want to slowly and gradually grind up the iron palm ladder so that the bones and muscles have time to strengthen at each level. The chinese people you see on tiktok with one giant red and black hand they can't even move, they're just breaking their shit straight up. They're going straight to the end of the book and punching through a pain threshold and causing real harm to their body. The clips Hafu used of the shaolin guys hitting the palm bag. You want to do that regularly, daily, for years and slowly progress through the bags. Your hands will be strong and you ooo you can break tough brick big man. But you'll still be able to use your fingers and grab things, your hands won't deform they'll just meat up a lot and get denser. Good iron palm training helps prevent things like arthritis, but if you practice it wrong you will cause it. In the video Hafu is hitting his iron palm bag way below him. You want the bag level with your forearm when you make contact. If there's a bend in your wrist it will cause wrist injuries in the future, you have to make sure you're striking level with the bag. You either have to drop your horse stance lower, or raise the bag higher. You're right in your video Ranton that most people don't have the time and dedication to do iron palm correctly, and I don't think most people should practice it. It's really really easy to hurt yourself doing iron palm. I have broken three bones between my hands this year on three separate occasions, all doing iron palm. It's easy to get carried away and hurt yourself because hitting things is fun. But you can't take back a strike after you throw it out. The first thing I think of when someone says iron palm is me jerking my hand back from the bag wondering if I accidentally broke my shit, and now I'll never be able to write or tie my shoes ever again. I don't recommend people do it, I only do it because my Sifu told me to do it. It's been apart of my regular workout for a long time, and if I didn't do it it'd feel weird.
(don't mention that I said in the first comment I do recommend iron body conditioning, I understand I just said conflicting things. martial arts is a love hate relationship)
You are right. The wood is fishy. 12:40 you can see there's a crack where the wood broke. Look at the side in the middle.
11:10 : we can se the wood plank is already half cut
I gotta say i really like your Content.....ah sheiss drauf.
Verfolge deinen Kanal nun seit ein paar Wochen und kann Dem ganzen echt was abgewinnen. Bin sehr von der KungFu-Welt begeistert und hoffe da auf mehr. Humor ist einfach auf dem Punkt gebracht, Freischnauze in die Fresse, manchmal etwas strange aber allen in Ganzen echt geniale Unterhaltung. Gerne weiter so und mehr davon Ranton, you ROCK!!
Maybe gehen paar Runden Tekken oder Mortal Kombat? Kann ich mir bei dir gut vorstellen.
It’s a different piece of wood, also wood breaking is very easy if it’s cut in a way where the grain structure breaks easy if pleases or held a certain way.
12:24 How realistic when the crack line is both with wood and porcelain as if it were laser cut :D it looks nice that it has been precut
It breaks too easy.
If you look at the break in the wood: it's a clean cut. No way it would break that clean.
I'm a Carpenter by trade for 7 years. I work with all types of wood. That piece he broke I guarantee has a relif cut on the bottom. Wood does not break clean no matter how bad ass you are. The wood should have splinterd and broke into chaos. Nature has no order. That break was way to clean.
I think the plank splits in a weird way. So it's sussy
"when I started on day 1 I wasn't able to break the wood"
He's not seriously suggesting he was actually trying? I mean he clearly just flicked at it with his fist the way you knock on a door, he wouldn't have been able to break a styrofoam block the way he hit that board. Probably COULD have broken it though if he had done it right - aimed far below the board and pushed through with force.
who tf woulda thought years ago that this dude would end up being the biggest meme lord
So many people don't understand basic properties of wood and spout almost conspiratorial theories about Hafu tempering with that plank. The reality is very simple, it is probably the same plank. The only major difference is that it was exposed to humidity. It absorbed moisture and became softer. Of course, as Ranton stated himself, the type of wood and its processing are a very important factors, without which we can't be 100% certain about the properties of that specific plank. However, one week in such climate can definitely be enough for softwood to start rotting if it was left exposed.
You know what’s fake? His overly exaggerated emotions.
true, the first board i broke was more “oh that was easier than i thought”
HAHAHAHA That Sailor Moon edit was fuckin funny 😂🤣
Bro you tell the truth it's not the same wood 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The many former Shaolin who I have spoken with tell me it is because CCP is afraid how powerful they are with that conditioning.
the wood was faked. wood like that would create an uneven break with a lot of jagged points, but in the clip it breaks easily and cleanly
It's prolly a soft wood with the grains going widthwise. If you hit that right you can absolutely breaak it.
Jippy makes the best TH-cam video tunes I swear.
As for the plank, i think he saw it before hitting it
I had a bad injury on my wrist, so I had to start doing push ups on my fist. Now it feels natural.
Wood can bend if it rains then gets really hot which causes its to bend
The board prior to him hitting it is a solid piece of wood, the board thats split is composite wood.. And looking at how clean of a break it was I want to say he's cut a groove on the side facing down..
One of the best thing about Iron Fist to me is that Toph from Avatar learned this and taught Aang if anyone can remember that episode.
he woodn´t petray us, wood he?
LoL there's a cut in the middle, on that wood u can even see it in the video
THE COLLAB OF THE CENTURY!!!!
There was definitely something fishy about the wood-break. It broke cleanly in half and perpendicular to the grain. That doesn't happen without tampering. When wood-breaking, usually the wood is braced and oriented such that you break it with the grain, because otherwise it is impossible. Even if you did break it perpendicular to the grain, it would not break cleanly, but would bend and splinter everywhere.
„He woodn't" :))
The bricks holding the wood are more separated when he breaks it
he did cut it. LOLs.
That's not how broken wood looks, it's way too clean and straight. To break so clean, I think he pre-cut the wood in the middle and flipped it, and I feel we can even see the mark.
I think he's just using a better punching technique.
He was always able to break that board, he just basically made a training montage for the video lol.
The swollen hands are mutated from abuse. The hands become bruised easily.
Skin damage is critic
Shsllin used a special training.
Can I just point out that the 1st try the 2 breeze blocks were FAR closer together than on the 2nd try. If you look at the attempt when the wood breaks, the wood plank barely reaches halfway across either block which will make the plank significantly weaker. The 1st attempt at least the plank reaches almost to the end of both breeze blocks. I also think, although I may be wrong, that the 1st plank is shorter than the second plank although they might be from the same length of wood which has been unevenly sawn in half. It isn't just the woods strength which matters, the length of it matters hugely too which is exactly why on long boards you would place a third support in the centre to stop it from warping or breaking when being walked upon.
