Physical strength plus insane martial arts skill CAN, apparently, allow a practitioner to select where the force of a blow causes or does not cause great damage, though.
The following, obnoxious music and all, is a decent, if not preferred, illustration of the above:
What tier of character do you think could replicate the showing?

I think that is fake (bricks are rigged). He never showed the bricks before he broke them. And nice try putting a bible on top to make us think you are so honest lol.

Can't be 100% sure from your language, but:
1. That is not me shown in that video.
2. I'm generally a skeptical person myself, so I look for things that are hard to fake or where people have little incentive to fake and/or where people have known and proven track records, so I can appreciate where you're coming from.
I would trust either of the following more than showings with standard-looking weights or professional Hollywood photography for instance:

3. I doubt the showing is fake, simply because of the number of official ISKA "creative breaking" programs I've seen, coupled with vids discussing the physics of breaking, stress lines, etcetera.
4. In regards to this thread, although it's great to have a real world parallel for illustration, what matters is if writers BELIEVE martial arts can enable beings to do stuff like that with proper training, or at least are writing a fiction where they can do such things. The Legion of Super-Heroes character Karate Kid, pre OR post-Crisis, makes particularly good demonstrations of targeted/sparing destructive force:

KMC would probably peg that somewhere at or above the level of pre-Crisis Kryptonians. Definitely reminds me of the kind of reality warping shenanigans the Bronze and Silver Ages were known for:
