zuluking Posted September 21, 2004 Posted September 21, 2004 Friday night after class, Shihan asked me to stay for graduation and do a board-breaking demonstration. I could break 5 boards anyway I choose. What I didn't do was inspect the boards prior to the breaking, or I would have seen that one of the boards was Grrrrrrreen! The sequence on the 5 boards went like this: Lunge punch, reverse elbow strike, over-the-top lunge hammer fist, reverse palm-heel strike, head-butt. OOPS! Guess which one I hit the green board on? TONG! That's the only sound I could hear, save the ---gasps--- from the audience. But I did what any good warrior would do, I re-grabbed the board and smacked it on my forehead again, to resounding applause from the crowd as the board shattered. The rest...you don't want to know...
manuelito Posted September 21, 2004 Posted September 21, 2004 good save..i guess you learned from this experience. lol pain is weakness leaving the body.fear is the mind killer, i will face my fear and let it pass threw me. from the movie "dune"i know kung fu...show me. from the movie "the matrix"
KungFuMan Posted September 21, 2004 Posted September 21, 2004 Well done. I bet you needed a litre of Dit Dai Jow after that demonstration.....lol KFM Only time and commitment will make your Traditional "style" good and give you real knowledge. "Marry" your chosen system as opposed to just flirting with it. Make it your partner for life and you will see how well and how complete it really is.
EvilTed Posted September 21, 2004 Posted September 21, 2004 How about breaking 5 boards with a headbutt I'm doing 3 next demonstration. Osu! ET

battousai16 Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 there's a thread somewhere or other debating what it can and can't actually do, i forget what it's called. evidently it helps bruises heal faster. you can make it yourself, as i think someone mentioned they did, or usually an instructor will make it, or find it in china town. or just ditch it all together. it's just a bruise, y'know? though, i gotta' say, i really wish this massive bruise on my shin would go away a bit faster... i'm kind of wishing i had some now "I hear you can kill 200 men and play a mean six string at the same time..."-Six String Samurai
shotochem Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 OUCH!!!! That is one of the reasons why I will NEVER do a break with my head. I have too little brains left as it is. Pain is only temporary, the memory of that pain lasts a lifetime.
superleeds Posted September 23, 2004 Posted September 23, 2004 au au au...You have my respect for a job well done zuluking Read a book!
