When you were younger, after watching karate movies and seeing professionals break thick wood boards or blocks of cement, you wanted n0thing more than to see if you could do it too. Of course it ended in an epic fail, and you’re lucky it was never videotaped.

The kid in this clip was not so lucky.

Sure, his family won on America’s Funniest Home Videos, but this kid will go down in history for his failure to break a twig. After several attempts to chop a stick in half without success, he switches sticks. He still can’t break it.

When he tries to break the stick on a cement block, the block crumbles into pieces. Maybe the stick was indestructible and even the world’s strongest man couldn’t break it, but whatever the case, this video is hilarious. Watch it below.
