China, the land of the sleeping giant, is known for many things like in the area of technological innovations and inventions. It is also particularly deemed as the birthplace of complex styles of self defense.
Chinese Kungfu Masters follow different Martial Arts disciplines and techniques. There are those who drive big nails through thick slabs of wood using only their fists. Some can make needles go right through a glass panel without breaking it, leaving just some tiny holes where the needles passed through, and a lot more.
Let’s take a look at this video of a 55-year old Martial Arts master, Liu Fei. He can start fire out of some kind of a breathing technique which he mastered for six years.
He first prepares the powder that he puts in his mouth. It’s a mixture of sawdust and phosphorus. He fully packs his mouth with the mixture and creates a small hole at the center using his finger. He then begins to do his extraordinary kungfu stance, gradually creating a considerable amount of heat from the inside and blows it out of his mouth that then reacts with the powdered mixture. You can see smoke coming out of his mouth. The powder begins to ignite starting from the hole.
Don’t try this at home. You don’t want to bake your tongue, do you? This video has now become viral.
