10/2008-
Grandmaster Ralph Bergamo of Prospect, CT and Master Drew Serrano of
Waterbury, CT to be featured on Discovery Channel October 15...When
the producers of the new were looking for the top Martial Arts Masters
in the World to be part of their premier episode, they turned to World
Martial Arts Champions Ralph Bergamo and Drew Serrano.
Over the
Summer, the duo were contacted by the producers of this brand new series
to display one of their unique Martial Arts' abilities,
BREAKING!
The segment was shot in Boston, MA. Both Drew and Ralph are known around
the World for their expertise in generating tremendous power in their
strikes and focusing their inner energy, "CHI", enabling them to do what
most think is impossible. They are also the founders of the United
States and World Breaking Association, the largest Martial Arts Breaking
association in the World!
Drew was the main focus of the episode that will first air on October 15, 2008 at 8pm (EST); the segment will also air 10/16 and 10/19. Surrounded by high-speed camera equipment, the show captures every reaction of Drew's body as it crushes concrete and withstands a closet pole to the stomach. Ralph is captured exploding a coconut with his bare hand. The footage, the first of its kind, is truly unbelievable! See for yourself what happens in slow motion.
