What kinds of crap have you been able to karate chop through? Boards? Cinder blocks?


Me, I can karate chop through styrofoam pretty well. Does anybody have any tips on how I can karate chop through tougher stuff?

That might be a good topic for another thread maybe?

A nice 40# paper I can pretty much destroy with one mighty karate chop. I require complete silence, both before and after said chop.

I'm also fond of this expression: "That's Karate Kid inspirational sweet!"

You can chop through anything if you say "HAI !" loud enough.

Yes, but I doubt you can say it loud enough for a car. Start small and work on motorcycles first.

I'm not so sure about a car though, perhaps I do need to start smaller.

Has anybody ever karate chopped through a human being, other than David Copperfield?

Dang, I was all excited since I actually have chopped through David Copperfield, but then you gotta get my hopes up by adding that qualifier.

In the movies, you can chop through anything - the thing is it has to be made from styrofoam....

Bread is good. Start with an ordinary white loaf and then work up to soda bread, brown bread and finally granary. Practising on a roll or a sub might help.

Before you know it you will be chopping through that weird European bread that they eat with cheese and meat for breakfast.

No, I meant that David Copperfield has karate chopped through people on stage.

Clever though, son. Leave the jokes to me though, okay?

Bread is good... I've thought about bread before, but figured that I should probably get me some practice bread, because the wife wouldn't like it if I karate chopped through her eating bread.

Not a chance. This forum deserves a laugh every once in a while.

Karate chopping wood is about as useless as Tae Kwan Do.

Chicks love a man who has a handle on his wood.

No, it's a blonde with pigtails.

Are those things real or stuffed?

Mods: do you think this thread could make the next "forum roundup" on the MacNN homepage?

Thanks!

Practice my karate.

They are real. They're getting pretty good, actually. I'm going to have to step up my game.
