Break time!

[Dave Leverich]

We had a demo at the local college last weekend, to bring attention to a Cancer awareness walk. This was break time:

(I didn't see a Kyeokpa section, breaking, Mas Oyama kind of stuff etc, so I put it in General, feel free to move ;).

(and yes, next time it's 8 or 10) :)

You could do 8 easy.

Mr. Leverich, next time: 6 brick head break!




:ultracool

[Dave Leverich]

Heh, I think that's about right Sir!
6 Brick, head break :D
Although I have seen footage of GM Pierce (HTF/ATA) doing head brick breaks heh, but he's kinda crazy like that. His nickname used to be 'Master of Disaster' heh, I still call him that and he chuckles. Then he thwap's me in the head and calls me a dipstick ;p.

you did not say if that was you but I think it must have been.
Nice clean break
well done

6 or 8 should be no problem

Yeppers: nice break; well done.

Thanks all, it felt perfect.

Did we have a section on breaking? I hadn't been able to find one.
Kyeokpa in Korean, I don't know the Japanese term for it, but it would be a nice section to add. Perhaps a section with breaking and conditioning.
It could include all kinds of methods as well, Iron Palm, Makiwara, Thai banana tree kicking ;) etc.

I imagine those in the Mas Oyama/Choi Yong-I lineage would find it a good place to examine different techniques. I'd love to see someone doing river rocks (it's a long-term goal) or other harder materials like the granite etc.
