Jan 5, 2015 | 10:20 AM

A Prince Albert man is looking for a home, but he doesn’t want to live in it. Wolfgang Manicke, along with a crew of martial artists, is looking to demolish the house and their previous record. 

“I’m looking for a house to demolish by hands and feet,” Manicke said Monday morning.

Manicke is the the Kyoshi or grand master for the Kuro Ookami Dojo, a martial arts school focused on karate, kick boxing, and grappling.

He put the advertisement up on paNOW asking for an old house to demolish on camera for a film crew out of England. Manicke said it will be for a show called the World of Super Humans.

“Surprisingly someone already answered that ad and (the house) is just 20 minutes north of Prince Albert,” he said.

Manicke, who was born in Canada, but raised in Germany, started tearing down houses on television to help martial arts steal some of hockey’s spotlight. 

“I saw this record in England where they demolished a house (with) 15 black belts, it took six hours,” he said, adding his crew quickly broke the record.

Soon after he recreated the feat for numerous shows including Guinness Book of World Records, Record Breakers, Ripley’s Believe it or Not, and in 2013 he tore a house down in Prince Albert for Stan Lee’s Super Human Show.

The last house took Manicke and his crew an hour and a half, this time he said they are trying for an hour.
