Wastelander Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 Lately, I have been seeing a lot of tameshiwari (breaking) videos in my Facebook feed. This inspired me to try breaking cinder block caps and a coconut for the first time, and it reminded me of an old video I recorded of the first time I broke four flat-stacked boards. In the spirit of sharing the fun, I present those videos to KF! (I had only been training for 9 months, and had the flu, so it took me a while to psych myself up for the break--loud kiai warning!) (a single cap, then two flat-stacked caps) (surprisingly easy--used relatively light dropping palm heel slaps) Kishimoto-Di | 2014-Present | Sensei: Ulf KarlssonShorin-Ryu/Shinkoten Karate | 2010-Present: Yondan, Renshi | Sensei: Richard Poage (RIP), Jeff Allred (RIP)Shuri-Ryu | 2006-2010: Sankyu | Sensei: Joey Johnston, Joe Walker (RIP)Judo | 2007-2010: Gokyu | Sensei: Joe Walker (RIP), Ramon Rivera (RIP), Adrian RiveraIllinois Practical Karate | International Neoclassical Karate Kobudo Society

DWx Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Great videos Noah. Tameshiwari is my favourite aspect of training. "Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it." ~ Confucius
Harkon72 Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 Breaking is not a focus of our Karate training, but we do it occasionally. I like the coconut break Look to the far mountain and see all.
CredoTe Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 Nice videos, nice coconut break...Did you add some vodka or tequila or anything to the coconut after you broke it open..? Remember the Tii!In Life and Death, there is no tap-out...
yamesu Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Very nice breaks.Love the coconut. The first time I did one I was in Thailand, and was actually amazed at how easy it was (well, compared to what I thought it would be like!)I think you could, with your form, break twice what you are doing in these videos.Project the total force downwards completely perpendicular to the object as opposed to on an angle, and there would be twice as much force penetrating the object in the direction of the break.Osu!
