We human beings are very good at limiting ourselves. All too often we define our world with walls built out of "I can't." But... what if we can? What if we let go of our fear of failure and just... do?

Sure, a healthy sense of self-preservation is a good and important thing. But maybe the next time someone asks me to do something, or I think about doing something that seems insurmountable, and the thought "I can't," pops into my head... maybe I'll just go ahead and try doing it after all...

First off congratulations!

Second, how many time have we read on the net that breaking is pointless, it has nothing to do with fighting, boards don't hit back blah, blah, blah. What you said in the above quato is exactly why people do it, because we think we can't.

Thank you all. :D

And yes, I think that is the point- it is a triumph of the spirit!

And in Kyokushin, breaking more stuff. Like aluminum bats.

I figured you would have read about that one on kyokushin4life. The hanshi, in I think England, who was going for a bend, but ended up with a full break on an aluminum bat.

Aluminum bat? Why not!? After all, the shin has more surface and the like than a baseball, so I can see the possibilities of it.

Still...OUCH!! Oh yeah...SHUGYO!!

Oh, I definitely see the possibility of breaking an aluminum bat. Aluminum has a certain breaking point, especially when impacted at high speeds. Still, sounds a bit painful for me, and I do a lot of shin conditioning.
