I am the same way getting older things don't heal as fast. I tell ya when i hand to do 2 bricks for my second my grandmaster put a rag onthe top and it hung over the side. Well when I went over to set up i moved it to the center, i didn't know any better. I was breaking palm heal on this on. needless to same I thought I broke my wrist. since then, always over the side.I haven't tried bricks in years, but I still do concrete patio blocks at times. I have really cut back on the concrete though. 2 reasons for this.
1 - I'm getting close to 50 years old, I just don't heal as fast as I use to, I've never broke any bones on concrete, and I don't want to start.
2 - It seems to me concrete just doesn't have the same strength from block to block. It seems I can buy 7 blocks and it never fails, 1 out if the 7 will be 2x as strong as the others.
I used to really enjoy breaking concrete. I used to do 2 together withOUT a spacer.....using a palm heel
For conditioning I would punch rope that was flat on the floor. I would also punch a maple tree in our backyard, and punch on a block. The same conditioning for a hammerfist. When I used a palm heel, I didn't do much conditioning. When kicking...side kick, I just did bagwork.
Most of my breaking is wood now.
I'm wanting to do a baseball bat........now that would be cool with a spin hook :ultracool

So almost all the active threads have some argument about the pro's and con's of Kukkiwon certification... how about something new... anybody care to share their feelings on brick breaking? Do any of you practice it and if so, what do you do for conditioning?
i havent gotten a chance at a brick although i would love too, my instructor wants me a few more ranks up before i try (i'm a first degree level 2) however i feel i can atleast break one
and another thing, my instructor once said, they make rebreakable bricks, but i'm not going to break something that hard that can be put back together, once something that's that hard is broken i want it to stay that way
