I broke my first board today!


Recommended Posts

cejames- it is an accomplishment that I found meaning in!

If you wonder what practical application my style may hold, you're welcome to come out and watch a class at the only kyokushin dojo in the east bay- it isn't hard to find! Most of the time we drill and spar with contact. But once a month, we break stuff.

um ouch! Somehow I think a whole demo of me choking bricks and locking up bats just wouldn't have the same effect! lol What is it with you people and beating up on inanimate objects! :lol:

haha funny you should say that.. I've always wondered if any of you guys had ever attempted armbar-ing a pole or something and seeing if you could bent it. Think it was Rickson Gracie that armbarred a crash test dummy on Fight Science...

A lot of old stories say that Masahiko Kimura practiced his throws on a tree. With how crazy he was about Judo, and how crazy good he was at Judo, I wouldn't doubt it.

This is true but it didn't involve much pain. This is done today on poles, and cages in the gym. Probably not what everyone assumes.

When I was in junior college, we had some Wreslters there that were from Israel, I think, and they used some big elastic bands they wrapped around a tree or a pole or other fixed object to practice Wrestling throws with. Is this similar to what he did?

Yes sir! We do it with our belts.

Oh, I wasn't talking about pain, I was just talking about throwing or grappling with inanimate objects.
