Zhao Zhenhua in action
Zhao Zhenhua, 48, a practitioner of Xi Sui Jing kung fu, also swung the load, which was tied on with a rope, backwards and forwards by moving his hips.
His particular form of king fu is based on the principle that practitioners who are masters themselves can pass on their skills to their descendants.
But as one user on China's social media website Weibo commented: 'I am surprised if he ever gets any ancestors after tying that many bricks to his private parts.'
One observer claimed that Zhao Zhenhua managed to swing the load over 300 times by thrusting his hips.
The kung fu practitioner then swung the weight backwards and forwards
The demonstration took place at a kung fu training centre in the city of Zhengzhou in Central China's Henan Province.
Eyewitness Shaiming Liao, 37, said: "I would say it was an eye-watering display, I counted over 300 swings of his hips and he didn't seem to be in any difficulty as he lowered it down."
Many others commenting online also pointed out that it was believed that the practice of swinging weights from a man's testicles improved fertility and increased feelings of well-being.
Liao added: "It has been suggested by many that people who followed this style of kung fu could improve the quality of their lives."
