It doesn't work like that.
First, guys who think breaking bricks proves shit are gay.
Second, MA is complex. A decent fighting style
cannot be invented by a single person in a single life time. It's just too complex.
There's no fighting style that exists that was entirly created by one man. Even styles like Jeet Kune Do, which claim to have a "founder", are simply a collection of skills developed by over a thousand people in as many years. What makes them the fighting style is not unique skills, just a new direction and compilation.
There's just too many things to take into account.
If this kid could fight, he'd be nothing more than a brawler. Maybe your story is true, but it's impossible to compete against trained professionals when you've not learned from them (so before you going saying he'd beat my friend, Pet, keep in mind Pet has done over 100 professional fights).
It's like, a person can learn to build a fuel combustion engine in a single life time, yet only if he has access to the proper learning materials. If he had no library, it'd take him over 1,000 years just to figure out how to make metal.
Martial arts is the same. You may not know because you've never properly trained it (if at all), but a well trained martial artist kicks the f*** through anyone bare knuckle.
You can learn all the skills of the past in a single life time only if you learn them from those who pass it on. Reinventing the knowledge and wisdom of over 10,000 years of human combat is impossible for one man .
