Frank Dux uses Koga Yamabushi Ninjutsu (which totally exists) to explode two legitimate, real, bottles with ONE kick!

    Takes 27 minutes to fine tune the angle of his two targets.

    Also, "Yes, this totally works on the street."

    also he gives TWO kicks. the fact he does them in the same "jump" doesn't make 2 separate kicking motions, into a "one kick" technique

    Legit thought I was going to see a sweeping axe much or something basic like that, not simply two kicks

    Claimed he had the medal of honour for serving in Vietnam. Never went to Vietnam

    Claimed he won a secret martial arts tournament that was entirely fabricated by him and his friends

    Claimed he worked for the CIA

    and on and on with tales from his ass. There is no bigger fraud in martial arts. He makes Seagal look honest.

    There ARE bigger fraud in terms of fraud-ness, but in terms of how *succesful the fraud is*

    for example the "no touch qi KO" is bigger fraud- Dux at least doesn't claim supernatural powers.

    Unless it’s a movie prop, your foot will be all kinds of cut up and bloody from all the broken glass…..if you actually manage to break it. It’s a lot harder than tv and movies make it look to break a glass bottle by hitting/kicking it (or hitting someone else over the head with it).

    kicking full champagne bottle might not break it but it will hurt you really bad

    parent root
    17 points HeatAccomplished8608

    Champagne bottle would be really difficult to break to begin with, then with the sway of being held at arms length, I'm nearly certain this wouldn't be possible in our universe with our understanding of physics. Maybe if you had it locked into a vice and used a shin guard it could technically be possible to break... but this is a prop bottle without any doubt.

    Is it really so much more difficult to break than a board, staff or baseball bat?

    You have to prevent the sway of course. Or else you can't break anything.

    champagne bottles are specially thick, maybe because the bottle has to hold the seal\relief label which is also pretty hard?

    Many years ago at a party, a decision was made to "test" this one dude's snowboard helmet.
    He put it on and we all went outside with two empty wine bottles, the emptying of which contributed to this seeming like a good idea.
    He crouched to give us a better shot and I hit him with one of the wine bottles. It didn't break. The guy with the other bottle hit him and that one didn't break, either. I hit him again, harder. Still nothing.
    Soon we were both pounding on this guy's head, really putting our backs into it. After a minute or two he rather sharply requested we stop. Neither bottle broke.

    Crazy once I have a bottle break because I was holding it bad while filling a glass... Maybe I just had very bad bottle quality, or already damaged

    Why doesn’t he see that this demonstrates he’s not very good? First he moves the guys hands a few inches at most, then he falls on his ass after his kick. To me that screams “I don’t know what I’m doing”.
