Uechi-ryu breaking

[BillWhitmire1957]

full conditioning is important for total karate performance, not just breaking boards, bricks, and ice.

[RicRagsLive]

I like this way. I also like the explanations.

A lot of people look down on breaking boards or bricks as having no use.

But it's all part of training. And it builds confidence.

If you can punch through a brick with your face, how afraid will you be of other things?
