Shaolin monks train under a rigid discipline and are supposed to master 72 Shaolin Secret Arts as part of their training. From walking on water (with planks) to breaking bricks with their skulls, there's probably nothing a Shaolin monk cannot do. Exceptionally agile and strong, Shaolin monks are reminders that the human body and mind can do the impossible, if stretched to their limits.

The Slow Mo guys, whose slow motion videos we've all watched with sheer fascination and awe, are back and this time they got Shaolin monks to shatter glass with a needle. If you thought that happens only in movies, you were wrong. Shattering glass with a point-sized needle is actually one of the 72 Shaolin Secret Arts and it can take 10 years for a monk to master this skill.

As one monk holds the sheet of glass with a balloon behind it, another monk aims a needle at it and you can see the sheer force with which he hurls the needle. By the time you finish thinking it's an impossible task, he has already shattered the glass and the needle has pricked the balloon. 

It's so unbelievable you'd find yourself watching the slo-mo video again and again.
