To call this man the best of the best actually is not an exaggeration, because he literally starred in the movie The Best of the Best.

And together, we did what nobody thought was possible.

In just 90 days, Master re-coached me to pass every single belt test

yellow, green, blue, red, and I was granted permission to test for the black belt.

Now, Mastery's belt test is a multi-hour gauntlet.

You have to perform hundreds of forms.

You have to spar three black belts at once.

But for the final step, you have to break a brick with your hand.

And after many hours of sweat,

I made it here to this final step, the final inch to the finish line for the black belt.

And this is what happened.

Permission to break, sir.

So nothing happened.

Like, not even a crack.

And I failed the entire belt test because of it.

But Master Ri had taken a chance on me.

he put his reputation on the line to see if this would be possible.

And I realized that giving up on this challenge would be worse than giving up on myself.

It would be giving up on him.

So I kept training for months after this video released on YouTube.
