Whats the physics/science behind karate men being able to break multiple blocks of wood or cinderblocks with one strike of their palm? Like seriously wtf, why arent we weaponizing this?
pic unrelated
>why arent we weaponizing this
Go learn karate and charge headfirst into a group of armed bloodthirsty ISIS members, see how far it gets you
It's way simpler than you are thinking. As far as breaking wood. It is mostly a trick. You hit it along the grain and it breaks pretty easy. Try hitting it across the grain one time and break your hand.
Some karate experts do have a tremendous amount of strength and this is due to how they use their body as a whip. Their hand or foot is then travelling with great force. I believe Bruce Lee was recorded as having a 5,000 pound force punch.

Cement is very brittle under tension

Mass times acceleration equals force.

A more important question is, whats the science behind the enormous sexual stimulation that Morrigan cosplay brings ?

They did. Then repeating centerfire rifles took off.

is there an age at which wolff's law doesnt apply anymore? like, at what age is the bone gonna say "fuck you" and just break under the training load?
i want to build superbones so increase the length of my /out/ activities

>wings on head and ass
Man, that's gotta be hard on the spine.
The grains goes wrong way. The wood block is weaker than real material. Blocks break easily. It's just magic trick. Any man can do it.

Your cartilage will probably give out before your bones, but that will prompt you to stop working the bone so much and so it will shrivel up. I think old peoples' bones get smaller from a combination of reduced food intake and reduced use.
