A karate-chopping strongman from Cornwall has smashed the record for breaking concrete blocks with your bare hands.

Ed Byrne, a 40-year-old martial arts master, chopped through 55 granite and concrete edging stones in 4.86 seconds using only the power unleashed by the palm of his hand.

The ninth dan black belt shattered the previous record of 17.49 seconds. "I have hypnotherapy and picture breaking the slabs. I also feed off the energy of the crowd."

For his next challenge, the muscle-bound karate king hopes to break more blocks in one stack than ever before with a single strike. The record currently stands at 31 slabs of concrete in one chop.

Ok but I still prefer pork chops.

*knock knock*

"Who's there?"

"Kung"

"Kung, who?"

"KUNG-FU"

To focus and probably control the pain as it comes.

They do a lot of extensive iron palm work on building on their hands with bean bags as well.
