May 12, 200521 yr this one really gets me, I know body builders who cant brake as many or if even on brick,,, but a black belt or any martial artists can break many that just blows my mind, even wood, its not the softest thing in the world you know how do they do that how can someone like that break a break come on its CEMENT, the reason Im saying this is because I have to break a board or two to get my green belt in TKD...any replys would be great, Andrew "Who Dares, Wins"
May 12, 200521 yr You'll learn as you progress that it is all about focus and technique. Cement will break as easily as a board...trust me. "A Black Belt is only the beginning." Heidi-A student of the arts Tae Kwon Do,Shotokan,Ju Jitsu,Modern Arnis http://the100info.tumblr.com/
May 13, 200521 yr Yup - focus and technique. Its really not that much special, it's more of a trick. I have taught someone with no previous martial arts training to break two cement blocks in about half an hour (to play a joke on his wife - coincidentally it caused him to want to train with me, lol). So once you "get" the trick, there's nothing to it.In Christ,Master Phil Stewart4th Dan Tang Soo Do
May 13, 200521 yr it's all in the mind, once you understand the fact that the boards, cement and bricks...ARENT hard then you can start breaking down the mental barriers that hinder you and make you fear the strike. Once you KNOW that you can break it, then you CAN break it. my latest break was 24 inches (2 feet) of bricks with my elbow....what a rush...aaaaa I love breaking!!! That which does not destroy me will only make me stronger
May 16, 200521 yr the reason Im saying this is because I have to break a board or two to get my green belt in TKD... Good luck for when you test! Practice breaking beforehand.

May 19, 200521 yr You dont have to be a black belt to break things. I was into breaking as early as 4th kyu. It just takes conditioning and mental determination 7th Dan ChidokaiA true combat warrior has to be hard as nails in mind, body and soul. Warriors are action takers and not action fakers.
