  • would these work on someones rib cage

  • Well, depends on who you going to hit with~! ;P

    If you hit Hulk Hogan~ he will laugh at you. but if you hit normal guy... Yeah, you might have to take them to the hospital. and I hope you don't...!!!

  • ok, thanks my grandmaster told me to get a box full of white round beans and strike into the box 100 times a day increasing +10 per week till 500 times a day each hand. any other ideas?

  • @tallica8888 Of course, you could use those beans or sands or saw dust too. but one thing to remember, Do not over do to damage your hand. You only have one body. So, follow your grand master's advice and instruction. He will not make you to do those breaking techniques unless you are ready. I wouldn't make my small students to break the bricks yet....... ;P

    Most of all, concentration... when you are breaking the board.

    Good luck.

  • so i just found out i have to do a spear hand/finger tip break for my hapkido bodan test. any advice for training/preparing my hand/fingers for this break?

  • @tallica8888 That spear hand strike, you have to be careful too. If your Master or Instructor teach you before you try, it will be the best. but if they don't teach you and telling you " JUDT DO IT"... then, Oh Well~ Good luck. It is very hard for me to tell you how to do it here. I could teach any of these techniques here what you see, if you are in my class. Most of my students could do those breaking techniques now... ! Good luck on your Dan test.

  • Damn i dont want this guy to be my next ex's father

  • @joekimtkd and resilience to pain. oh, and by the way i like your techniques with the eggs. thats pretty cool. I don't think i would be able to break anything with my spearhand just yet. maybe not thumb either. and kudos for putting the bloopers at the end. shows your ego isnt the size of texas :)

  • @joekimtkd considering the proper technique for a knife hand guarding block you strike yourself in the solar plexus, and to be really good you gotta train every day. after continuous striking to yourself like that you can take quite a hit. I know I can.

    im not really bashing you, just the guy taking the hit.

    i think it would cause more internal damage if it wasn't a push. to me it looked like more of a push.

    from my experience, you can judge a good martial artist by their side kick, and -

  • @Raitsogen Yes, of course, he wouldn't fall but he will have to take all the shock that I give... it means more shock penetration. You are not only learning how to penetrating the shock to break the boards but you have to learn how to observe the shock too... Thank you.
