A soldier appears to have broken 14 bricks in half with a single karate-style chop in Beijing.

The video, shot on January 4, shows 14 bricks being piled up on a chair and an officer in camouflage clothing appearing to break the pile in half all in one go.

In the video, somebody asks: "How many bricks are there? Tell us."

Another voice says: "14 bricks."

Then the officer himself asks: "Shall I start?"

The first soldier replies "Yes, go!"
