some of you guys know I grew up in
Canada and while I lived there I had a
scout leader who taught me how to karate
chop rocks in half with your bare hand
today that’s exactly what I’m going to
show you how to do then I get started
you have to find a rock something like
this you know anywhere between a quarter
of an inch to half an inch in diameter
and somewhere around eight inches long
that’s going to be most useful and if
you’re in a mountainous area that has
granite don’t use granite you’ll
probably break your hand so just walk
down to local River or a dried-up
riverbed and scour around please find
something you think might work if you’re
just getting started a rock of that
thickness might be good you can see it’s
really strong it’s not super thick
that’s going to be perfect for beginners
maybe a little bit longer though now
when you’re ready to get chopping you
want to find a very stable platform to
hold it for you like this and just wind
up and power straight through no I’m
just joking we’re not going to do that
that’s gonna bust your phone’s up
there’s a much better way to do that and
that’s by using a big rock surface like
this one over here now the secret to
chopping your rock you want to grab it
with your pinky finger and hold this end
about half an inch above another hard
surface like another rock when you hit
it don’t just hit it and let it smack
like that you want to power all the way
through it you want to think through the
rock and pretend you’re going to smash
right through see no broken bones so
check it out just with one clean slice
it broke this rock in half it actually
shattered into two pieces on the end my
hand actually doesn’t feel too bad it’s
a little bit numb and tingly but
considering we just broke a half inch
rock in half doesn’t feel bad at all
okay so that last one work pretty well
we’re going to take it up to maybe three
quarters of an inch and
trick is you want to hit it with this
meaty part of your hand one little thing
I was taught to do is to tuck my pinkie
finger up just like that it kind of
flexes that muscle and gives you a
little bit of oh and you want to stay
away from hitting the bones at all
that’s going to kill so we’re going
right for this meaty part here and the
trick is in your mind you want to power
right through it when you hit that rock
you want to go all the way through you
can’t stop there can’t be any hesitation
you have to be fully committed now if I
hit this like this right now it’s not
going to work because that’s flat on the
rock we need to do is tilt your hand so
it lifts it up a half an inch and then
it’s good to smash
judo chop aah-ha-ha clinch by clinch
that when I hit right on the bow and I
was concentrating too much of my awesome
powers judo chop and I totally missed it
so that is killing me
that is not what you want to do most
okay I’m trying that again but this time
I’m actually going to concentrate on
what I’m doing let’s see if we can get
any better results
yeah
that’s a clean cut I wasn’t nice yeah I
was a little bit worried about that
second one because it was quite a bit
shorter I wasn’t sure if it’s gonna go
but man that worked perfectly surprised
it broke the other and you know what my
hand isn’t much worse for wear
so that time I hit it with the meaty
part of my hand I did tuck my pinkie
finger up like that just to flex the
meat a little bit stay away from this
bone that’s what’s gonna hurt a lot so
there you go guys now you know how to
break rocks in half and freakin hands
now a couple years ago I had a friend
named Aaron dike from a channel called
beyond slow-motion film me doing this
experiment in my house if you watch my
fingers the moment my palm touches the
rock look the way they flop all over the
place I promise this isn’t nearly as
painful as it looks but you also see how
the rock shears right down the middle
and divides in half how incredible is
that now I do have to suggest it if
you’re going to try this you have to be
mentally committed if you’re only going
to go half way your hand is going to be
extremely sore so this is a cool trick
take your girlfriend down to the lake
grab a rock and karate chop in half with
your hand
how much more manly can you get than
that well thanks for joining me for this
experiment you guys go have a lot of fun
and I’ll see you in the next video talk
to you that
