No way. This has to be a trick, right?
That wasn't quite a north south choke. Close though.
Bjj is now officially.... a tma
Soaking a block in a bleach solution will make it super weak. Not saying that is what was done, but I've seen McDojos pull that trick with their breaks.
*sigh*
That's another guy from Kentucky...
First the No-Gi rant guy, now this.
(Hangs head)
Alright...that is obviously an older cinder block. It's probably been sitting outside in the weather and has become weak. It's already partially broken, undoubtedly from being old and moved around. We use cinder blocks to prop open our doors where they are in the sun and the rain. After awhile, they become so brittle that they will literally almost fall apart just from picking them up and sitting them back down.
That, or he has specifically went to a concrete plant and ordered first or end run of the bricks which are usually higher sand content. This is what a lot of breaking "experts" do to get breakable bricks.
Most of this dude's video on youtube are actually money. He has some really great footlock tips that are on par with some of the best in the game.
That being said the cinder block broke pretty easy.
seems kinda suspect that he said he had never done this before.....if it really is his first attempt, why he is videoing it and it is very fortunate that he has immediate success. He had a pretty well planned out method for a first attempt as well.
