Fred Vella in action at the half way mark in his mammoth house wrecking job for charity. He eventually won out when his Karate know how and superbly conditioned body took only 17Hrs 10mins to demolish the 20,000 brick house.

Master Fred Vella packs a wallop; in fact, he is a walking arsenal of mind control power. Every muscle in his body reacts to his immediate self-controlled action whim. This human dynamo recently proved to the nation at large that the human body through the expertise of Karate can do the "impossible". He utilised every facet of Karate to demolish the house which he did for the sake of charity to help raise funds for a special kidney machine to be installed in a Maltese community hospital. Thanks to Fred more than enough money was raised in his demolishing epic.

In full view of news reporters and TV cameras and an ever-passing parade of spectators, he systematically and very thoroughly demolished the brick house with his bare hands and feet. It was an amazing feat and stands as a world record that will take some beating. Don't think for one moment that this accomplishment was just a matter of walking up to the house and knocking it down at random. To carry out such a major task as this required many weeks of dedicated training. Always superbly fit, Fred still had to set himself a rigid and perfectly planned training program. Every bone and muscle in his body had to be tuned and coordinated, his mind disciplined in union to his body. His diet regulated, his whole being tuned and timed to a minute clockwork precision. It took months of solid training before he was satisfied that he was ready and capable to go ahead. Months of Spartan discipline in order in order to condition himself for the job. And during all these strenuous routines his food intake was strictly controlled and confined to a diet to give maximum energy and muscle toning to ensure 100% fitness.

After all this solid training, Fred announced his readiness to do battle with the brick and mortar, Fists flying , feet kicking, elbows thumping, this Karate "Iron Man" tore the hose apart and like Jericho , the walls came tumbling down. Australia will never forget the day the sport of Karate became a household word.
