    I remember 2 years into kenpo my instructor had me breaking a brick out of the blue one day in class. Then I had to do it in front of an audience. I can see some practical reasons for breaking bricks such as testing the effectiveness of your strike, but overall it's a parlor trick that people are impressed by. Nevertheless breaking concrete with your hands is fun!

    The real world part of Board and Brick breaking is the psychological aspect. It's telling that little voice in the back of your head that says "I Can't Do This" to shut the hell up. It builds that confidence that really is hard to explain. Plus, it can be a show of technique or strength when taken to the apex of breaking.

    Nice job. As a Tae Kwon Do practitioner, I like that you showed your set up, which is similar to my own, and that you get the importance of coming perpendicular to the brick. If a break fails, that is the most common reason. Often people who strike at an off angle will break their wrist rather than the brick. I also like that you didn't jump.... just came down with a lot of speed. Breathing is also important.... exhaling when you strike. Some say it doesn't really demonstrate martial arts skills at all. I disagree. It shows speed, concentration and correct breathing to harness the power of the strike. Well done.

    Ironically enough I have seen a few of those videos recently so this subject matters fresh in my mind I think the reason you might have failed the two bricks was the placement of your hand your fingers were dangling Beyond the Edge of the brick so you were not hitting the bricks smack down the center so the force was being distributed unevenly and some of the force was being transferred beyond the edge of the brick, one of the videos that I saw the guy was better at explaining the mechanics and he said you have to aim dead center of the brick and you have to bring your whole body down so that your weight is traveling through your arm down the the center of the brick so the mechanics feel very similar to throwing a straight cross where you turn your hips except you're doing with an open palm and in a downward motion but you have to put the weight of your body behind it and aim for the very center of the brick or board.

    Nice job! After doing martial arts for the last 20 some odd years, I have just started to get into brick breaking. There is nothing really martial arts related to brick breaking other than a show of power and technique. I think we saw the same video of the kid doing the brick breaking and kind of explaining the physics behind it. It requires so much power times speed times amount of force per square inch. It is really cool for demonstrations, I am currently working on the finishing touches from my brick breaking video from this past year's tournament, which helped my get 1st place. I would not recommend anyone doing the beaks I did for the shear difficulty and stress that it put on the body. Again really great job!

    Hello! Brick breaking is just pressure testing body conditioning, as you say, it won´t make you a better fighter, but it helps you know how much of a weapon your fist is (or any part of your body) and measure your progress . It´s just an aspect of being a martial artist. And by the way, if you had separated a bit the two bricks with bolts in each corner, you would have been able to break them with the hammer fist. (when you put them together you ended up with a brick twice the thickness). I´m not saying there is a trick to it because breaking things require enough power and you can injure yourself, but there are some things to consider when setting the bricks up, you can put together some wooden boards, and hit strongly enough to make the wood grain separate. If you use your elbow it would be much easier than if you use the straight punch or the tip of your fingers (nukite or spear hand, I´ve seen that one a couple times from my sensei´s brother, I used to train shito ryu karate, now i´m dping MT and BJJ)

      Spacers = cheating. Try this break. When done properly, no and no damage. It uses no muscle force or high speed. ua-cam.com/video/PITr8065V1g/v-deo.html&feature=emb_title

    2 brick break by Geoffrey Bosmann
    This is not body weight. I generally break with the understanding that my hand (or whatever striking surface I use) is going to rest at a destination beyond the object. I do not consider the object material. Rather, I see it as energy through which my strike is passing.
    Of course, speed, wave (or whip) energy and an ample amount of power are applied here as well.

      You are the only one that gets it lol . the object is not even in my mind , i see the other side ,thats where im going, braking is a state of mind and teaches penetration going through the object, at a high level grave internal injury can be caused ,not for show boasting like a circus show

    Good video! On your two brick attempt you needed to use your non-breaking hand for more momentum to get the action and reaction. Pulling your other hand back when you attack would create more force. Also rising up more and dropping during your attack would help. Finally, getting more hip rotation would have guaranteed a successful break. Good job! In regards to breaking bricks not helping you fight more confidently, I would disagree. Breaking bricks means you only have yourself as an opponent. You don't have to understand your attacker, you only have to overcome the obstacle in your mind. If you can achieve mind over matter, then you can face any opponent. Again thanks for the video! Good stuff.

      Using hikite (aka Okinawan pulling the hand to the hip) does NOT create more force nor is that what Funakoshi sensei explained its use as.

    @tkdman69 8 років тому +1

    Yes, the brick breaking... from what I'm understanding is the ability to break is not just in the force of the muscle but also mind and body working together better, they both generate more power... I'm training with our 9th degree Grandmaster. You also toughen the hands, knuckles, elbows, forearms, and feet...all striking points. I do believe, however, this type of training can help the fighter because when you practice this every day, say fifty practice strikes each side... strengthen, generates confidence, proper attitude, speed, accuracy, control, and technique. Also, I believe that training can be elevated to the highest levels when you train with your Masters and Grandmasters. I encourage you to continue training, and asking them why this type training could be useful. Training in many different ways is useful and encouraged. I will also ask for further explanation as we do this with as many as we can do. Sometimes it's upwards to 7, 8 slabs. No special bricks or easy to break. Just pavers from Lowe's. Same ones you have there I think.

    I trained MMA for fun since a few year, last week at the gym we tried the exact same setup that is that video 9 out of 10 guys broke it ( 1 Brick ) I tried 2 and went thought easy ( Without a towel ) We had a good time and it was fun, I think anybody can 1break without any martial art trying , but 2 or 3 would required some kind of training ( Like I do ) anything more thicker that 3 brick become a speciality of braking stuff , I mean requiring, training for that specifically.

    I think the bricks you used look semi solid and made for building. The one they use in most of those bricks braking demonstration and competition are specifically made ..I really don't think they bring them straight from building sites..I think backing bricks and they become easy to brake..You could hear the sound of the lightness of the bricks when they break...They don't sound like heavy bricks breaking normaly sound like rocks...
    I could guarantee you that one single solid heavy concrete brick Will almost be impossible to break...Unless some one with heavyweight body with solid BIG hands and extremely strong ..Adding speed probably will manage one single solid 5 inch concrete brick.

    Oh, the boards are real that kids break. Maybe little kids have the light ones 'stuck together' with maybe pressed wood. Over the age of 9 or so they make you use real wood though. Not very hard wood like oak, but pine might be an option. And no, they're not pre-cut. If you watch things like brick breaking championships that some traditional martial arts offer, you'll notice some break more than others, and some will break in other locations.
    If you think that it's about making you feel strong, then you missed the mark. The traditional martial arts emphasize strength and speed, true, but a lot of it has to do with precision and focus, and technique, which is the point of breaking bricks and wood. Only a beginner will try to 'muscle their way through'. To be able to spot a weak point and technique is the purpose, and mastering that WILL make you a better martial artist.

    love this vid. great breaks. very straight forward and honest. I love the art of breaking...You did a great job delving into it. as far as the idea of " will breaking help in your Martial art?" well...as far as I am concerned...the breaking is much like the bamboo roll cutting done by those that study the use of the Katana or samurai sword. it is testing the weapon. to really be consistant and avoid injury you have to train almost daily and there are many ways to. My youtube page has my explanations on the idea. it is essential to condition..every time a boxer hits a bag...he is doing a type of Iron Hand training..teaching his body to not only hit harder and better consistantly but to absorb and recover from the negative impact force he put into the target... great work again. thanks for being open and honest...btw...you had that two stack! just needed coaching maybe.... peace. God bless...

    Brick breaking should not be a goal or a primary practice in a martial arts school. Although, you must have brick breaking in your curriculum. It's a way to show a practitioner solidity! Nothing more. You see, in your video, which was great, we clearly see that you have the strength to break 1,2 and probably 3 bricks. With the proper training, you will be able to break easily 3 bricks, but this is not the skill we are looking in brick breaking or coconut breaking or anything like that. Most people have the strength to break, but they do not have the solidity to do so. We can clearly see that you are strong, but you don't have the hand and the wrist solidity that it takes to break more or to try more times with the technique you showed. So we have to be careful here because like you said, it won't make you a better martial artist in terms of combat skill like agility, strength, timing etc. But when your hand, your fist, you shin, your forearm are solid as steel, your hits will be much more efficient in a fight (of course in a fight without gloves). You can search on Wolf's Law if you wanna understand how bones can be trained. So people have to remember that brick breaking must not be a goal or a primary training! But it should be tested as it was traditionally. Look at this video here : Coconut Break!
