In a hilarious moment that’s making its way across the internet, a Hawaii News Now reporter ruins what was supposed to be an impressive demonstration of strength and skill by a local “Grand Master” of Shaolin Kung Fu.
In the segment (below), anchor Steve Uyehara introduces Bruce Silva, a Kung Fu teacher who is promoting his upcoming event, the Black Dragon World Record Exhibition. Silva has set up three separate concrete block structures to break and wow the audience. What he wasn’t expecting was for Uyehara to be so full of “Chi” power that his mere presence was enough to destabilize the solid slabs at the atomic level. It’s truly the only explanation.
A YouTube version below:
In the clip Silva says that the first brick is 21.2 lbs, and he breaks it with a glass that he’s gently holding to prove his ability to focus his “power.”
“That’s incredible,” the anchor exclaims as he walks to the second stack of blocks. And then in a perfect local news moment, right in the middle of the reporter saying “these are real bricks,” he barely touches them — and they crumble completely.
The Grand Master quickly asks, “How’d you do that?” as the reporter doubles over, unable to contain his laughter.
It’s live TV so the show must go on. The guru then breaks what he says is 110 lbs of bricks with his head, but not before telling the reporter not to touch them.
Exit tip from karate expert Master Ken who explains why “Kung Fu Fighting Drills Don’t Work”:
Silva later chopped the cake the news station gave him commemorating his first appearance on their show. Sharing is caring:
