I was watching tv the one day and I seen this chinese guy throw a pin right through a pane of glass like it was a bullet going through it. I think it was Ripley's believe it or not or something like that. After thinking about the finger through bottle cap trick, it's got me wondering if this is real or a trick. It almost looks like a trick but I'm not so sure and almost think it's real. Not sure though. Anyone know?
 
This is real, I saw it live on some Shaolin stage show a while back. Someone threw a nail into a block of wood, in which it was impaled a good inch or so.
It is as real as it gets.
 
Yoooo DLeerium whats up bro! Lol it's ironic because I just got done watching your video Volatile-One year of cardistry which I might add is some sik card work. I must have watched that vid a hundred times. Your an inspiration to me for XCM bro. Thanks for the reply. Peace.
 
Humans have exhibited a number of rather spectacular talents. Sifu Shi Yan Ming, a Shaolin monk who defected from red China to live in Manhattan has bent metal against his abs and through training that involved suspending weights from his wedding tackle can take a kick to the groin and it doesn't slow him down. Similarly, there are a lot of old training methods that produce extraordinary results such as Shaolin Iron Palm training.

Those of you who own Frozen might recall this one. Monks in some regions of Asia have demonstrated an ability to raise the core temperature of their extremities by as much as 17 degrees. Scientists still aren't entirely certain how this works.

Recent biological research has shown different energy fields emitted by the human body, and in some mutations these energy fields are stronger. Factored in with the fact that some people are born with tetracolor vision, this may account for the idea of auras and halos. A woman in Germany was actually born with such an unusually strong magnetic aura that iron filing are drawn toward her hand.

Things like what you're referring to often come down to a creative application of simple physics.

That paragraph hurt me physically. Ouch :(
 
As far as I'm concerned, that's the closest we're going to get to superpowers until science starts returning my calls about finding a way to create The League of True Metal Warriors.
 
But can any of them take a kick right square in the balls and keep fighting without slowing down? Anyone who can do that is a hero to me. And that's not even counting the part where after shrugging off a steel-toed blow to the nards he proceeds to then break swords against his abs. That's the kind of thing I drew in my notebooks when I was a kid. Granted, there were more werewolves...
