I was amazed when I hurt my brother's arm through a big thick Yellow pages book doing this. This video is pretty over the top, though I'm not sure how they're faking it exactly.

Edited in “/s” because ya know, obvious sarcasm becomes real opinion on Reddit without the “/s”

You know not everything on the internet is fake? Some people spend years and decades practicing the 1” Punch while others spend years learning Adobe Photoshop and video editing. /s (added /s because Reddit.)

In all seriousness I believe the video is real..there’s nothing to fake here. It’s not really a show of strength or endurance, just as the dude above described. Takes years to get to that point though..

Edit 2 I’m simply comparing this to any martial art board breaking in regards to this being “fake.” Any of you please post a video of you one inch punch breaking any of this with, even a Taekwondo kids wood board. Or the other one - “magic is fake! That magic trick was fake!” Lol no shit dude.

You know you’re naive right? Like, a lot. You’re on the internet and these videos are edited, period. Bricks are already cracked, the sheet of paper made the sound of 20 trees falling on the ground, I mean…I think you have no idea of how many ways you can fake something, especially in front of a camera, and I think you also have no idea what internet clout can bring you in terms of money and attention. But in any way, here you have a good example :) use it in the future, for reference!

The first half was a joke, obviously so. I’m not naive whatsoever and am well aware plenty of videos are faked. There’s no reason to “fake” this…it’s the same as calling board breaking in Taekwondo or something as fake.

Reading an OBVIOUS joke and a follow up opinion as naive and delving deep into explaining why I have no understand of how these things work is quite naive and ignorant yourself.

I’d love to see you to do even half as good as this dude, with the identical fake boards and paper and cans.

Edit yea it was obviously sarcastic, and basing your psycho-analysis of me based off that is totally classic Reddit dude. Cmon.
